Pres. Biden want to Castrate your Sons

The Deep State and the major news media lied to us about Russian collusion, the Hunter Biden laptop, and the Ukraine War.

They have been telling us for years about extreme right-wing terrorists, with their best example being the plot to kidnap Michigan governor Whitmer. Now it turns out to be all a big hoax. The jury found them not guilty, because the only real plot was by the FBI informants.

Jen Psaki claimed in a White House briefing:

Just like the extreme government overreach we’ve seen in Texas, where politicians have sent state officials into the homes of loving parents to investigate them for abuse — just to harass and intimidate the LGBTQI+ community — today’s vote in Alabama will only serve to harm kids.

But Alabama’s lawmakers and other legislators who are contemplating these discriminar- — discriminatory bills have been put on notice by the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services that laws and policies preventing care that healthcare professionals recommend for transgender minors may violate the Constitution and federal law.

To be clear, every major medical association agrees that gender-affirming healthcare for transgender kids is a best practice and potentially lifesaving.

All of this begs an important question: What are these policies actually trying to solve for? LGBTQI+ people can’t be erased or forced back into any closets, and kids across our nation should be allowed to be who they are without the threat that their parents or their doctor could be imprisoned simply for helping them and loving them.

President Biden has committed in both words and actions to fight for all Americans and will not hesitate to hold these states accountable.

This is wrong, sick, and perverted. There are no federal laws requiring transsexual surgery. No "gender-affirming healthcare" has ever saved anyone's life. It has only led to suicide.

She says that castrating a boy is allowing him to be who he is. There is not a shred of scientific evidence for anything she says.

What is behind this? Partially, it appears to be queer recruitment. But it goes way beyond that. They want to deny free will, deny parental authority, destroy the family, corrupt our children, and probably many other evils. And they passionately hate Trump and Russia.

Why Squaw Valley Ski Resort was Renamed

Indian Country Today republished this article on how nobody ever thought the word squaw was offensive until some jerk appeared on some stupid talk show:

Of all the support for the negative, the word s-word got its highest claim to defame when Suzan Shown Harjo, a Cheyenne and Hodulgee Muscogee American Indian rights activist appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show and said on-air that s-word was an Algonquin word meaning vagina and that the word s-word was viewed by many Native people as the “S-word.”

Though several journalists have supported Harjo, the jury is still out when it comes to the meaning of the word s-word. Most historians and linguists appear to be more supportive of a non-derogatory meaning, the use of the word is still looked at as offensive to many others.

In the years since Harjo’s appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show, efforts to rename geographical sites swung into full-force. In the first four months of 2008, the U.S. Board on Geographic names renamed 16 valleys creeks and other sites omitting the name s-word.

As formerly mentioned, the most high-profile case at that time sought by the National Congress of American Indians was the renaming of the Phoenix hiking spot S-word Peak to Piestewa Peak. The peak was renamed to honor Lori Piestewa, a Hopi/Hispanic soldier from Arizona who was killed in Iraq in 2003.

This story was originally published on January 31, 2014.

UPDATE: This story has been updated on February 23, 2022, to fit the current ICT Style Guide. ICT does not repeat the s-word.

This site is going along with the activism, and replacing the word with a euphemism.

My theory is that none of these words are offensive, but merely present a phony issue for activists. Blacks commonly use the N-word, and do not appear to be offended by it at all. The Washington Redskins had to change their name, but not because Indians were offended. It was only because activists made an issue out of it, and White liberals did not know what to say.

New Movie on the Great Reset

I recommend: The Power Brokers You Never Elected by Jonas Nilsson

Danger of High T and Small Testes

Everyone is trying to explain or criticize Will Smith. What does the science say? A new research paper says:

Europeans Have Larger Testes than Sub-Saharan Africans but Lower Testosterone Levels

So Will Smith probably had high testosterone and small testes.

I am not sure why that makes evolutionary sense, but the paper seems to have an argument.

Why are there still Apes?

CNN reports:

Herschel Walker apparently isn't much of an evolution buff.

"At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not?" Walker, the frontrunner for the Georgia Republican Senate nomination, said in an appearance over the weekend at a church in Sugar Hill, Georgia. "If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it."

The article goes on to answer the question.

So, here's the deal: Humans and apes evolved from the same genetic ape ancestors, a species now long extinct. (It's known as "common descent.") We did not, however, evolve directly from the current occupants of your local zoo. They are one branch of descent from their ape ancestors. Humans are another.

According to a Discover Magazine article published last month: "While we share our ancestry with these animals, along the way, over millions of years, we all changed. ... It's believed that this human divergence from the chimpanzee lineage of apes happened between 9.3 and 6.5 million years ago."

"[We] each adapted to our own environments or specific circumstances or niches," Zachary Cofran, a biological anthropologist at Vassar College, told Discover.

This is no explanation at all. Those common ancestors would be called apes. Humans have many advantages, and took over the planet. The chimps and gorillas got left behind. Why?

Why Modern Movies are Terrible

I have complained about Disney and Netflix movies, but they are all bad. History will record the XX century as the golden age of movies.

Many, if not most, of the XX century movies would not be made anymore because some aspect of them might be considered offensive or problematic.

The problem is much worse. See the five videos on Why Modern Movies Suck. Very convincing. They are not just bad. They are evil. Watch the old movies instead.

California Plans to Pay Black Reparations

The Manchester Guardian reports:

California’s reparations taskforce has recommended compensating the descendants of enslaved and free Black people who were in the US in the 19th century, bringing the state one step closer to becoming the first in the US to pay African Americans for the harms of slavery. ...

The decision, which passed by a vote of 5-4 on Tuesday night, has sparked widespread debate about who should be compensated for the continuing impacts of slavery, and how the state should factor in systemic racism that remains pervasive in society.

This is all bogus. There are no continuing impacts of slavery. Racial preferences have been a net benefit to Blacks for the last 50 years.

If they were doing an honest analysis, they would measure the harms to Whites as well as Blacks. Maybe it would turn out that there were more harms to Whites?

Unscientific Opposition to Florida Law

SciAm reports: -

On Monday, it became illegal to talk about gender identity or sexual orientation in hundreds of classrooms throughout the state of Florida. This law is one of historic numbers of proposed laws and measures targeting trans youth in Texas, Arizona, Alabama, and more than one dozen other U.S. states. Tens of thousands of transgender children and teenagers currently live in states where lawmakers seek to exclude them from playing sports, eliminate mention of people like them in schools, or criminalize transgender-affirming medical care, and the introduction of these measures come despite growing social approval of transgender Americans.

Almost every sentence in this story is a lie. The law goes into effect July 1, not Monday. Those classrooms are Third Grade and younger. The law targets schools, not trans youth. No one is excluded from playing sports.

I am not sure there is growing social approval. I did not have much opinion about transgenders several years ago, but the more I learn, the more I disapprove of what they are doing.

In Idaho, where lawmakers debated a law making it a felony to provide trans-affirmative medical care, a trans teenager testified that the idea of going through puberty made her contemplate suicide.

So lawmakers are supposed to be held hostage by a mentally ill 13-year-old who threatens suicide? This is madness.

Being a scientific magazine, I would expect it to cite some scientific evidence to support its views. This is none. Pandering to children threatening suicide just leads to more suicides.

THe opposition to this Florida law is startling. The argument boil down to this: The LGBTQ lobby wants the schools to recruit LGBTQ students without the parents knowledge or approval. It is sick.

Here is Disney trying to LGBTQ propaganda to children. Keep your kids away from Disney products.

Update: Here is Disney's latest apology:

Disney said Friday it “regret[s]” a high school drill team performance at Walt Disney World this week ...

Disney’s hosting of the Indianettes comes as it moves to be more inclusive in its theme parks and rid them of racist depictions, including of Indigenous people. ...

The outrage over Disney’s hosting of the Indianettes comes as the company is dealing with a controversy over its response to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act, referred to by critics as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Disney faced widespread outrage—including from its own employees—over its initial refusal to denounce the legislation, which has been critcized as discriminatory against the LGBTQ community, leading CEO Bob Chapek to ultimately issue an apology. The controversy has still continued, however, with employees walking out earlier this week in protest of the company’s handling of the issue.

Now that Disney has apologized for not opposing a law protecting kindergarteners from sexual abuse, it will have to do a lot of apologizing.

All this controversy brings attention to the arguments for an against transgenderism and other LGBTQ recruitment. It is remarkable how weak the arguments in favor are.

Update: Here is a suggestion:

The question for today is why Disney can’t act directly, rather than trying to overturn the law passed by the Florida Legislature? Disney has announced an official corporate policy in favor of sexual orientation and gender identity instruction for K-3 children. Millions of K-3-age children visit Disney World every year. Many of them are from Florida and thus, due to this new law, are at risk of being denied “classroom instruction related to sexual orientation and gender identity”. Why can’t Disney step in to fill the gap? ...

A separate idea: Because Americans don’t have to work anymore, every Disney World ride requires waiting in line for 1-3 hours, even on weekdays. K-3-targeted sexual orientation and gender identity instruction could be provided to those waiting in line, a literal captive audience.

That may be coming. Disney is already putting propaganda in its movies.

Update: Ben Shapiro explains the Disney rot. He has the proof that the Disney executives fully intend to sexually corrupt children.

Oscars So Black

The College Fix reports:

The Vassar College student newspaper deleted a news article because the reporter covering the story included too many quotes from white students. ...

“The majority of our quotations came from white students and therefore we reduced the positions of students of color to a singular, tokenized perspective. After this was brought to our attention, the paper decided to remove the article online in an attempt to prevent further harm among the communities we misrepresented.”

The story was about a Black man being disinvited as Commencement speaker because he enforce immigration law in the Obama administration.

Maybe Black students, who do not believe in hearing from Blacks favoring law enforcement, were not represented in the article. And correcting the article would make Blacks look bad.

Meanwhile, Blacks have also gotten their way by taking over the Oscars. They complained that the Oscars were too White, but they really meant that they were too Jewish. Now Blacks are all over the show. It even had one Black guy punching another on stage.

Update: The Oscars incident may have been just a publicity stunt for The Crown Act. Apparently Black women are wildly insecure about their hair, and we need new non-discrimination laws to protect them.

Zelensky is Destroying Ukraine

A Change.org petition nominates Ukraine President Zelensky for 2022 Nobel Peace prize and Time man of the year.

It is disturbing how many people idolize him. He is destroying Ukraine.

Update: As I understand it, Putin is demanding (1) Ukraine stay neutral, with a written commitment to not join NATO; (2) Russian takeover of Crimea be accepted; and (3) independence for Donbas in E. Ukraine.

I believe that NATO should never have been threatening Russia with radical expansion anyway. Very few people think that the USA should commit to a ground war to defend Ukraine's border. So agreeing to demand (1) should be easy.

Russian seizure of Crimea appears to be a done deal.

I don't have an opinion on whether demand (2) is reasonable. I also don't have an opinion about whether Putin would be satisfied with these concessions. Maybe Putin has grander and more evil plans.

I do not see how it can be worth fighting a war over these issues. Zelensky could probably get a cease-fire if he made some concessions. Instead he has persuaded foreign countries to join his war. He has done a good job of selling the war. But it is hard to see how he can win, and it appears to me that he is just prolonging the war and getting his citizens killed.

I could be wrong about this, but that is how it appears to me.

Nobel Peace Prize? There is no peace. Kissinger and Arafat got peace prizes, and Hitler got Man of the Year. So I guess it is possible.

Biden Repeats Nazi Lies Again

White House transcript from yesterday's press conference (at 14:00):

Q Yes. (Laughter.) It’s true. And there are widespread concerns in Europe that a figure like your predecessor, maybe even your predecessor himself, might get elected president again. So, are there any steps, anything you’re trying to do and NATO is trying to do here, these days, to prevent what you’re trying to do becoming undone two years from now? Thank you.

THE PRESIDENT: No, I — that’s not how I think of this. I’ve been dealing with foreign policy for longer than anybody that’s involved in this process right now. I have no concerns about the impact —

I made a commitment when I ran this time. I wasn’t going to run again, and I mean that sincerely. I had no intention of running for President again and — until I saw those folks coming out of the fields in Virginia carrying torches and carrying Nazi banners and literally singing the same vile rhyme that they used in Germany in the early ‘20s — or ‘30s, I should say. And then, when the gentleman you mentioned was asked what he thought — and a young woman was killed, a protester — and he asked — was asked what he thought, he said, “There are very good people on both sides.” And that’s when I decided I wasn’t going to be quiet any longer.

Biden keeps telling this false story. It would be more accurate to say that Biden is supporting Ukrainian Nazis.

Trump did not say Nazis were good people. This has been exposed so many times, that everyone must know that Biden is a liar by now. I don't even know what he means by "vile rhyme". There was no Nazi vile rhyme. A German rhyme would not rhyme in English.

And all of this has nothing to do with the question. Biden is senile, and cannot competently answer any question. We are less than a third of the way into his Presidency, and he has already lost one war and started another.

Covid Hawks Are Also Russia Hawks

New poll:

Of those who have received three or more doses of a Covid vaccine, 59 percent support a NATO no-fly zone in Ukraine. Of those who have refused the vaccine, support plummets to 18 percent.

Often these issues can be predicted by right-left politics. But not this so much.

There is both right and left wing opposition to the Ukraine war, and to covid vaccines. The better question is -- do you accept the New World Order or not?

It takes a certain mentality to believe these authorities who are always lying to you.

Here is someone who used to depend on NPR Radio:

But it wasn’t just that story. Overnight, the network’s entire orientation had changed. Every segment was about race, and when it wasn’t about race, it was about gender. The stories were no longer reports but morality plays, with predictable bad guys and good guys. Scepticism was banished. Divergent opinions were banished. The pronouncements of activists, the arguments of ideologically motivated academics, were accepted without question. The tone became smug, certain, self-righteous. To turn on the network was to be subjected to a program of ideological force-feeding. I was used to the idiocies of the academic Left — I had been dealing with them ever since I started graduate school — but now they were leaking out of my radio.

Nor was it only NPR. One by one, the outlets that I counted on for reliable reporting and intelligent opinion — that I, in some measure, identified with — fell in line. The New York Times, which was already in an advanced state of decay, surrendered completely. Ditto The New Yorker. The Atlantic was drifting in the same direction. Inroads appeared in The New York Review of Books. Satirists whom I admired for their alert sense of irony, their ability to recognise the absurdity at all points of the political spectrum  — Stephen Colbert, John Oliver — got the new religion, and started preaching sermons. 

All of these outlets now have the same views on covid, masks, vaccines, Trump, George Floyd, transgender swimmers, and killing Russians. Spooky.

It is especially strange to hear all the woke stuff on NPR Radio. NPR is the closest thing to a White Supremacist mass media outlet we have. It is produced by Whites for Whites. There are hardly any non-whites who listen to NPR.

Judge is not a Biologist

From today's confirmation hearing:

During the second day of her Supreme Court confirmation hearings Tuesday, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson refused to define what a “woman” is, deferring instead to scientific experts.

When asked to define “woman” by Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn, she replied, “I can’t…I’m not a biologist.” Blackburn shot back, “The meaning of the word woman is so unclear and controversial that you can’t give me a definition?”

“Senator, in my work as a judge, what I do is I address disputes. If there’s a dispute about a definition, people make arguments and I look at the law and I decide,” Jackson added, reiterating the methodical judicial approach she has historically applied.

She probably thought that this was a safe answer, but I am afraid it is not. Soon, the liberals on the Court will say that being a woman is not defined by biology, but by a stated preference for that gender identity.

Biden Wants to Lead the New World Order

Wondering why Pres. Biden would bait Putin into invading Ukraine? He just gave an explanation:

I think — you know, my mother had an expression: “Out of everything terrible, something good will come if you look hard enough for it.”

I think this presents us with some significant opportunities to make some real changes. You know, we are at an inflection point, I believe, in the world economy — not just the world economy, in the world. It occurs every three or four generations.

As one of — as one of the top military people said to me in a secure meeting the other day, 60 — 60 million people died between 1900 and 1946. And since then, we’ve established a liberal world order, and that hadn’t happened in a long while. A lot of people dying, but nowhere near the chaos.

And now is a time when things are shifting. We’re going to — there’s going to be a new world order out there, and we’ve got to lead it. And we’ve got to unite the rest of the free world in doing it.

As Vox Day points out, this is a direct reference to the 1990 G. Bush New World Order speech:

We stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment. The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective — a new world order — can emerge: a new era — freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice, and more secure in the quest for peace. An era in which the nations of the world, East and West, North and South, can prosper and live in harmony.

A hundred generations have searched for this elusive path to peace, while a thousand wars raged across the span of human endeavor. Today that new world is struggling to be born, a world quite different from the one we’ve known. A world where the rule of law supplants the rule of the jungle. A world in which nations recognize the shared responsibility for freedom and justice. A world where the strong respect the rights of the weak. This is the vision that I shared with President Gorbachev in Helsinki. He and other leaders from Europe, the Gulf, and around the world understand that how we manage this crisis today could shape the future for generations to come.

Yes, that is what this war is all about. Vox Day calls it The Satanic World Order.

Update: Wikipedia has two pages on the NWO: New World Order (conspiracy theory) and New world order (politics). They need two articles because the chief proponents of the New World Order have openly advocated for it. A conspiracy is a secret plan, and it is not a conspiracy if it the plan is public. Parts of the plan are not public, so that is the conspiracy.

Man cannot be Man Of The Year

Newsweek reports:

Satire website The Babylon Bee had been suspended from Twitter, according to the CEO, Seth Dillon.

Dillon took to his personal Twitter account on Sunday evening to explain why the page had been suspended and his reaction to the news.

The page had been temporarily banned for a tweet mocking Dr. Rachel Levine, who identifies as transgender. Levine serves as an admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.

I just received this notice that we’ve been locked out of our account for “hateful conduct.” pic.twitter.com/udMriKcDr6 — Seth Dillon (@SethDillon) March 20, 2022

Dillon posted an image of the message Twitter sent the page and captioned it: "I just received this notice that we've been locked out of our account for 'hateful conduct.'"

The offending tweet was:

The Babylon Bee's Man of the Year is Rachel Levine

His real name is Richard Leland Levine, and he fathered two kids under that name. He is Jewish, so he was circumsized as a baby. Wikipedia says he is transgender, but not whether he tried to change his sex.

Women's Health magazine has a useful glossary of 70 Sex Terms You Should Know If You Don't Already. However it does not attempt to define woman. Instead it uses terms like "someone with a vagina". Maybe it will have to change the name of the magazine to Health of People with Vaginas.

Mrs. Bill Gates: Divorce is a Healthy Choice

USA Today announces:

Melinda French Gates is one of USA TODAY’s Women of the Year, a recognition of women across the country who have made a significant impact.

So what did she do? She confirmed that she was the cause of the Bill Gates divorce.

I would say probably, though, for sure, my lowest moment in life was when I finally reached the decision that I knew I needed to leave my marriage. That wasn't something I ever thought would happen to me. It certainly wasn't what I thought on the day I got married, but I realized for myself, I needed to make a healthier choice, and that was just a very, very sad day.

Was she mistreated somehow? Nope. Another interview:

During the interview, Melinda was asked about the affair Bill had with a staffer 20 years ago, which a spokesperson for the Microsoft co-founder confirmed last May.

"I certainly believe in forgiveness, so I thought we had worked through some of that," said the author and women's advocate, 57.

"It wasn't one moment or one specific thing that happened. There just came a point in time where there was enough there that I realized it just wasn't healthy, and I couldn't trust what we had," she added.

She also attended the marriage of their daughter to an Egyptian equestrian.

It is hard to see what she could be complaining about. She seemed to have everything that a woman would want. I am not trying to second-guess her. I am just trying to understand human nature.

Arnold goes Full Nazi

Arnold Schwarzenegger has come out of political retirement, as there have been events so horrible that they must be denounced. Transcript:

I hope that you will hear what I have to say. And may I remind you that I speak with the same heartfelt concern as I spoke to the American people when there was an attempted insurrection on January sixth last year, when a wild crowd was storming the U.S. Capital, trying to overthrow our government.

You see, there are moments like this that are so wrong, and then we have to speak up. This is exactly the same with your government.

Got that? The Russia-Ukraine War is "exactly the same" as the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol election protest!

The J6 protest was a mostly peaceful demonstration of unarmed citizens demanding that the election outcome reflect votes properly cast. They believed that the election was being stolen.

Reasonable people can differ over whether the election was stolen. Everyone agrees that Biden won by taking advantage of questionable rule changes that had never been used before, and from votes that were impossible to verify. But whether or not you agree that this should be called a stolen election, protesting a dubious election procedures is an essential part of a free democracy.

And his denunciation of the Ukraine War is exactly the same!

He also explains how his father was a Nazi who hated the Russians. But Ukraine does not need to be de-nazified.

I thought that covid infected the world with a madness. Now the world has gone mad over this silly war. Congress had to listen to Ukraine president Zelensky compare the war to the Pearl Harbor and 9/11 hijacking attacks. Those sucked us into massive boondoggles. Zelensky appears to want World War III, and it is scary how many politicians are taking the bait.

I wonder how much of the hostility towards Russians is based on them being White Christians. Russian citizens who have nothing to do with the war are being canceled. If they were non-white, this would be considered racist. You were considered a bigot if you asked Moslems to disavow terrorism after 9/11/2001, and yet Russians outside Russia are being asked to disavow Putin.

Ghislaine Maxwell Juror Lied

The NY Times reports:

For one thing, sexual violence is extremely pervasive. According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, one in five American women will experience rape or attempted rape at some time in her life, to say nothing of other sorts of assault. One in four American men will experience some form of sexual violence, including rape, coercion or unwanted sexual contact.

I have gotten used to these exaggerated figures, but this stands out, because it implies that men have been victims more than women.

However, I chased down the sources, and they do not say that at all. The source says:

About one in four male victims of completed or attempted rape first experienced it between the ages of 11 and 17.

That may be bogus also, so don't take it too serously. I am just noting some of the ideological errors.

The paper takes statements about girls and boys, and converts them to being about women and men. It takes past tense statements, and converts them to future tense. It conflates rape, which has a legal definition, and attempted rape, which could be almost anything. And it converts "one in four male victims" to "One in four American men".

The relevants is to recent juror misconduct:

During jury selection for the high-profile sex crimes trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, a confidential questionnaire presented by the court asked potential jurors, “Have you or a friend or a family member ever been the victim of sexual harassment, sexual abuse or sexual assault?” Juror No. 50 checked the box for “no.” After the trial, Juror No. 50 revealed that, during deliberations, he told his fellow jurors that he had been sexually abused as a child and for years had kept this abuse a secret. The court must now decide whether Juror No. 50’s failure to tell the truth requires invalidating Ms. Maxwell’s convictions and granting her a new trial.

People have some funny beliefs about child sexual abuse. I am not sure why this guy's personal experience should have influenced the jury. Maxwell could have gotten an unfair trial.

SciAm pushes Leftist Immigration Propaganda

SciAm reports on a supposed bias in USA immigration:

The U.S. associates two statues with the cornerstones of its republic. The two figures are the Statue of Liberty, her torch lighting the way for immigrants, and Lady Justice, blindfolded to avoid bias from the eyes in the court.

The first immigration law was limited to free white persons of good character.

Using information from 2,687,101 applications ... overall, about 92 percent of people who applied were approved. ... about 86.43 percent for Black Muslim applicants, who had the lowest chances. ...

What is especially striking, Ryo says, is that federal law mandates uniformity in how applicants are treated in the naturalization process, regardless of demographic factors, such as race and religion. If uniformity were truly in effect, “we should not expect to see even small differences,” she says.

Wow, this is a very small difference to complain about.

People get rejected for having criminal backgrounds, or bad character. It is likely that the Black Muslim applicants have the worst character.

Why is Scientific American magazine trying to get more Black Muslims into the USA? There is no legal or scientific justification. The USA has many problems, but a lack of Black Muslims is not one of them. Those statues were not invitations to Black Muslims.

Other potential influences are structural, such as the fact that law enforcement disproportionately targets Black people, raising their odds of a criminal history that could feed into the “good moral character” determination, she says.

So it admits that Blacks are more likely to have criminal records. Police target Blacks more because Blacks commit more crimes.

Women Follow Social Consensus

Here is an amusing rant:

Men care less about consensus, but generally like to cooperate with authority. However, they also want to feel if they have concerns or questions, they can voice these to the authority and have them addressed in a straightforward and frank manner. If a leader has a history of making good decisions that benefited the people, and a man voices a concern, and the leader’s answer is simply “you’re just going to have to trust me on this,” that will be enough, if it is an answer that is used sparingly. If a leader has a history of bad decisions, and becomes erratic and angry when questioned, he is likely to be removed as the leader by the men of the group.

But we live in a society that is totally dominated by women. Virtually all men defer to women, due to the feminist project, which has given women complete control over sex and relationships, which are of primary concern to men. Furthermore, as women are the ultimate arbitrators of society, men have begun to take on feminine character traits, and act like women. This is not different than men in Rome wanting to be like Julius Caesar or Hercules.

Women are totally obsessed with social consensus. They not only believe social consensus, but they enforce it against those who question it.

In modern America, you have dual social consensuses in the form of left and right, but these are increasingly merging. With the Ukraine situation, Fox News is even more extreme than CNN. So you’re not going to find women who disagree with this consensus.

The nature of women is a hard reality of nature you just have to deal with.

I’ve said many times – if you find some woman who is “red pilled” and repeating right-wing talking points, you’ve found an insane woman. It is the basic and fundamental biology of women to agree with the consensus, so if a woman doesn’t do that, she has something seriously wrong with her.

This also speaks to the issue of trying to convince women of things, or really having serious conversations with them about anything.

Ultimately: it is pointless to rage against the masses and wish they would “wake up.” They’re not going to. We are totally locked into this thing, until something gives and removes women from power. Until that point, the media is going to be able to broadcast a social consensus, and it will be followed by the large mass of society.

Getting angry about it is like getting angry at the rain.

No, I do not agree with this. But Google and others have tried to kick the site off the internet, and I don't agree with that also. The site has many amusing insights. The above is funny because there is a grain of truth to it.

Child Argues for School Queer Brainwashing

A NY Times op-ed by a disturbed 17-year-old boy:

On Tuesday, the Florida Senate approved the Parental Rights in Education bill, also known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. The bill seeks to ban public schools in the state from teaching about sexual orientation or gender identity from kindergarten through the third grade, or through the twelfth grade in a manner deemed “age-inappropriate” by parents. Had the proposed law been in effect last year, my teacher could have put herself in jeopardy by being there for me.

From an early age I knew I was different. I wasn’t interested in the things other boys my age did, and I didn’t really feel comfortable in the clothes my parents bought me. The struggle for acceptance was not just internal, it also felt like my classmates didn’t know what to make of me. By fourth grade I was convinced that I was broken. ...

“Are you L.G.B.T.Q.?” She explained what each letter meant and showed me pictures of RuPaul on her phone. ...

I have come to realize that those who have been so openly hateful toward me often knew little about the queer community — they thought being L.G.B.T.Q. was a conscious choice.

This is really sick. He thinks he is gay because his clothes were uncomfortable in fourth grade, and he wants schools to secretly give such advice to kids without telling parents.

He has also been brainwashed into believing that he cannot make a conscious choice in the matter.

Republican lawmakers have been echoing the idea that parents know what is best for their kids, not the schools. In some cases that may be true. But parents aren’t trained professionals; unlike schools, they aren’t made to follow a set of standards.

Those trained professionals have lied to him, and convinced him that it is impossible for him to lead a normal life.

It is false, cruel, and destructive to tell a child that his future lifestyle is forced upon him by genes, potty training, 4th-grade clothes comfort, or whatever those training professionals are teaching.  

Maybe Republicans should pass laws requiring the schools to tell the truth about sex. But there is not much chance of that. The schools are going to promote LGBTQ activities. They will not explain that RuPaul is a kook.

Ben Shapiro explains why this is all about Leftist Democrat brainwashing of kids, without parents finding out.

Biggest 20th Century Strategic Mistake

The NY Post reports:

People should be “outraged” at the New York Times for only just confirming the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop, Sen. Ron Johnson said Sunday, as he demanded apologies from the 51 former US intelligence experts who cast doubt on The Post’s reporting on the device.

“I am just amazed that the New York Times just now came to the conclusion that the Hunter Biden laptop was genuine,” Johnson, of Wisconsin, told ​host John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM’s “The Cats Roundtable.”

“Where have they been? That was pretty obvious within a week or two of the New York Post’s stories​.” ...

Johnson called on the Gray Lady to apologize, as well as the 51 intelligence experts who cast doubt on the laptop as Russian disinformation in a letter released just days after The Post’s bombshell exclusives.​

So the NY Times has a track record of publishing anti-Russian propaganda. Now it has its own article on war propaganda:

Ukraine is waging an information campaign of its own, aiming to discredit Russia, exaggerate its own military successes and minimize its losses. It has also circulated false reports of heroism, including the martyrdom of soldiers defending an island in the Black Sea and the exploits of an ace fighter pilot in the skies over Kyiv.

By most accounts, Ukraine has so far been winning the information war, led by a powerful social media operation that flooded the internet with its own jumble of anecdotes and myths, bolstering morale among Ukrainians and uniting the Western world behind its cause. The most central figure in their campaign has been President Volodymyr Zelensky himself, whose video messages to Ukrainians and the world have combined bravery with the stage presence of the television performer he once was.

It goes on to blame Tucker Carlson for reporting that the USA was funding Ukraine bio-weapons research, but does not say that it was false.

To get away from any possible Putin propaganda, I went back to this 1998 video on Opposition to NATO Expansion. A bunch of right and left wing groups found that they agree on one thing. I was struck by the arguments, at 7:10 and 20:50, that NATO expanding 1998 was as big a strategic mistake as any in the 20th century.

They were right. This was the main cause of the Ukraine war.

Why was it done? There appear to be two main reasons. (1) State Dept. cold warriors wanted to continue the Cold War; and (2) defense contractors wanted to sell military equipment to NATO allies.

Hysterical Warmongers on the Left

The Left used to be reliably anti-war, but no more.

Here is a MoveOn spam letter:

Dear MoveOn member,

Fox News was the #1 most-watched network last week, as Russian President Vladimir Putin attacked Ukraine.1

And last week, Tucker Carlson, Fox's "ratings king," told his 4.6 million viewers that it's "not un-American" to support Putin, that the Russian invasion is just a "border dispute," and that "Ukraine is not a democracy" but a "puppet" of the West.2,3

Tucker Carlson is dangerous—truly dangerous. Russia's state propaganda TV networks have been running clips of Tucker Carlson defending Putin and trashing Ukraine to sell Putin's war.4 And The Washington Post reported last week that new polling shows Republicans view Putin more favorably than they do President Joe Biden.5

Carlson has become the tip of the spear of the powerful right-wing media machine, the de facto leader of the white nationalist, authoritarian, right-wing media echo chamber, and we need to fight back.

MoveOn's in-house Creative Lab produces powerful videos and other viral content that directly counters the onslaught of right-wing talking points, authoritarianism, and lies. Since its launch, the Creative Lab has produced thousands of hard-hitting, fact-based videos that have been viewed hundreds of millions of times.

Democracy is at an inflection point, and we cannot let white supremacist, authoritarians like Carlson shape public opinion.

Fox News has been mostly pro-war, but MoveOn complains about the one guy who does not want to escalate the war!

It used to be that right-wingers would complain that leftists were un-American for not supporting a war. Now it is the Left complaining that a right-winger is un-American for not wanting to join the war in Ukraine.

There are still plenty of warmongers in the Republican Party. The sides have not completely flipped. But the biggest Republican leader in Donald Trump, and he has been against war, while Biden has provoked war, and MoveOn uses a pro-war pitch to raise money.

It is bizarre to call Carlson "the de facto leader of the white nationalist, authoritarian, right-wing media echo chamber". He is not echoing what most Republican politicians are saying. He is very critical of Lindsey Graham and others. He is one of the most anti-authoritarians on cable TV.

So what is this pitch really saying? It ends with "Democracy is at an inflection point". Nowadays, when the Left uses this language, it is nearly always about getting non-whites to outvote whites. What else? Why else would it keep calling Carlson white nationalist or white supremacist, when the issue is support for the Ukraine war?

Donate to MoveOn if you want to exterminate Whites.

Flyers Describe Jewish Influence

A California newspaper reports:

Marin residents awoke to discover antisemitic flyers on their lawns, driveways and streets last week. Now, local law enforcement is struggling to determine whether any crimes have been committed. ...

Reporter’s Note: After much debate, the Bohemian deliberately omitted the names of the antisemitic group and its leader. It is my belief that when the media identifies them, it helps fuel their mission by providing the publicity they desperately desire. As a Jewish person, I am opposed to leading lost souls to the doorsteps of hate.

What is the point of this? The flyers just listed some prominent Jews in the Biden administration. If the police cannot find any laws being broken, then what is the problem?

The flyer was apparently inspired by the Goyim Defense League, a small group with a video channel, Goyimtv.tv.

I never heard of them. It appears that they do not advocate anything violent or illegal. They just put out info, some of which could be described as conspiracy theories.

Disney Wants to Molest your Children

Florida is passing CS/CS/HB 1557: Parental Rights in Education:

Parental Rights in Education; Requires district school boards to adopt procedures that comport with certain provisions of law for notifying student's parent of specified information; requires such procedures to reinforce fundamental right of parents to make decisions regarding upbringing & control of their children; prohibits school district from adopting procedures or student support forms that prohibit school district personnel from notifying parent about specified information or that encourage student to withhold from parent such information; prohibits school district personnel from discouraging or prohibiting parental notification & involvement in critical decisions affecting student's mental, emotional, or physical well-being; prohibits classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in certain grade levels; requires school districts to notify parents of healthcare services; authorizes parent to bring action against school district to obtain declaratory judgment; provides for additional award of injunctive relief, damages, & reasonable attorney fees & court costs to certain parents.

Sounds innocuous. CNN says people are most offended by this:

The bill states that "classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards."

The Disney corporation, and others, are very much against this. That is, it wants perverted sexual propoganda taught to third-graders. Or to other students in inappropriate manner. It announced:

Starting immediately, we are increasing our support for advocacy groups to combat similar legislation in other states. We are hard at work creating a new framework for our political giving that will ensure our advocacy better reflects our values. And today, we are pausing all political donations in the state of Florida pending this review.

So if you pay to watch Disney movies, or attend Disneyland, you are supporting an LGTQ+ agenda to use the public school to brainwash third-graders over their parents objections.

It is a terrible slur to say that homosexuals want to molest kids. The vast majority do not. I am only talking about what Disney and others are openly advocating. Namely, they want to teach third-graders about eccentric sexual preferences.

MSN News:

The “Don’t Say Gay” bill has garnered a lot of media attention and has dominated conversations about LGBTQ rights lately. ...

Caraballo is currently a clinical instructor at Harvard Law School’s Cyberlaw Clinic. Before working there, she was a staff attorney at the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund and a staff attorney at the LGBTQ Law Project at New York Legal Assistance Group. ...

Caraballo said once the bill goes into effect, a major rollback of LGBTQ-friendly policies at schools is likely.

In other words, the LGBT forces have taken over Hollywood, Disney, and the schools, and they don't want to lose any of the gains they have made.

They also hate Russia for not having Pride parades. I have been trying to figure out why Biden so actively encouraged war in Ukraine, and I wonder how much influence the LGBT lobby has had.

Update: The other big LGBTQ political issue is whether trying to change a child's sex should be investigated as child abuse. If someone tried to change your sex as a child, would you consider it abuse? I do think that the psychologists and physicians who are in on this racket should be stopped somehow.

Feminism is a mental illness

The NY Post reports:

South Korea has elected a new president, Yoon Suk-yeol, after a nail-biter of a vote ...

Yoon, the conservative opposition choice, pledged to do away with a government agency devoted to women’s equality ...

The mudslinging has played out in a country deeply concerned with rising home prices and youth unemployment, with both candidates accused of misogyny by women’s groups.

The NY Times reports:

“Out with man haters!” they shouted. “Feminism is a mental illness!”

On the streets, such rallies would be easy to dismiss as the extreme rhetoric of a fringe group. But the anti-feminist sentiments are being amplified online, finding a vast audience that is increasingly imposing its agenda on South Korean society and politics.

These male activists have targeted anything that smacks of feminism, forcing a university to cancel a lecture by a woman they accused of spreading misandry. ...

“We don’t hate women, and we don’t oppose elevating their rights,” said Bae In-kyu, 31, the head of Man on Solidarity, one of the country’s most active anti-feminist groups. “But feminists are a social evil.” . .

Test Scores are Useful to Colleges

Donald Wittman writes:

In November 2021, the Board of Regents of the University of California voted to permanently abolish using SAT and ACT scores as factors in determining admission to the university. The stated reasons are: (1) standardized tests are biased against students from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds (essentially meaning low-income households where the parents do not have college degrees) and (2) the SAT does not substantially improve the university’s ability to predict college grades beyond just using the student’s high school grade point average.

These stated reasons are factually wrong. Furthermore, the Board of Regents displayed a complete misunderstanding of how students were actually admitted before the ban on using the SAT took place.

With regard to the relative importance of the SAT vis-à-vis grades, here are the data published in 2020 by the University of California Office of Institutional Research. In 2015 (the last year the study covers), grades alone explain 13 percent of the variance in first-year GPA, SAT scores alone explain 22 percent of the variance in first-year GPA and when added together, grades and SAT explain 26 percent of the variability in first-year GPA. So, adding SAT scores to grades doubles the predictability of college performance. This is a major improvement.

Next, I turn to the issue of bias. We first need to know what it means for the SAT to be biased against students who are low income and/or have attended high schools that are predominantly filled with low-income students. The SAT is biased against socioeconomically disadvantaged students if the SAT underpredicts their performance at the university. The standard measure of performance is first-year GPA. In over 50 years of testing and in hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific articles, the results are clear—the SAT is biased in favor of socioeconomically disadvantaged students and biased against socioeconomically advantaged students. In particular, if two students have identical SAT scores and grades or just SAT scores alone, the socioeconomically disadvantaged student will have lower university grades than the socioeconomically advantaged student will have. Furthermore, the student from a lower socioeconomic background will have a lower college grade than predicted by SAT scores and grades, while a student from a socioeconomically advantaged background will have higher college grades than predicted. ...

Donald Wittman is distinguished professor of economics, emeritus, at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

So why are the scores being eliminated? It appears to be part of a plan to dumb down the colleges.

Congress Bans Lynchings

The NY Times reports:

WASHINGTON — The Senate unanimously approved a bill that would make lynching a federal hate crime, explicitly criminalizing a heinous act that has become a symbol of the nation’s history of racial violence. ...

Failure to pass such a measure before this year had become a glaring example of the nation’s inadequate response to a crime that has long terrorized Black Americans. The N.A.A.C.P. estimated, based on its records, that Black victims accounted for 72 percent of 4,743 lynchings that occurred between 1882 and 1968.

I am not sure what this law will do. Murder was already a crime.

I just have some questions. If the last lynching was in 1968, why do we need a law now?

Without additional info, that 72% figure is meaningless. Maybe Blacks committed 72% of the offenses that resulted in lynchings.

Race is a Social Construct, Explained

I mentioned that Black Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. was equating Black rights with lies about Black criminals on a NY Times video. Now has has aa nonsensical NY Times op-ed about defining race:

The other day, while teaching a lecture class, one of us mentioned in passing that the average African American, according to a 2014 paper, is about 24 percent European and less than 1 percent Native American. A student responded that these percentages were impossible to measure, since “race is a social construction.”

Given our country’s history of scientific racism — and all of the horrible crimes and abuses that African Americans have been subjected to in the name of science — the fact that race is a social invention and not a biological reality cannot be repeated too much. However, while race is socially constructed, genetic mutations — biological records of ancestry — are not, and the distinction is a crucial one.

To be fair, we really can’t blame this student for being confused. To varying degrees, we have all inherited a muddled understanding of race, ancestry and phenotype from the Enlightenment

So he complains about race all the time, says race does not exist, and uses DNA to trace racial ancestry.

No Dissent Allowed on Ukraine War

Breitbart reports:

The Slovakian National Crime Agency (NAKA) has warned residents could face 25 years in prison if caught promoting “war propaganda” on social media regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The National Crime Agency (NAKA) reminded Slovakians that the country was in an emergency situation due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent surge of refugees fleeing the conflict.

“Anyone who, in a crisis situation… incites war, promotes war or otherwise promotes war propaganda, is punishable by imprisonment for 10 to 25 years or by a prison sentence of life imprisonment,” the police said, according to Slovakian broadcaster RTVS.

Okay, that is an obscure Eastern European country that was Communist until 30 years ago. Russia is threatening to punish dissenters also. But look at the craziness in the USA.

The NY Post reports:

Former Vice President Mike Pence urged fellow Republicans to condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine, saying “there is no room in this party for apologists for Putin,” during a speech on Friday night.

Speaking at a fundraiser of the GOP’s top donors in New Orleans, Pence was critical of those in his party who have not condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, which has caused the deaths of thousands of civilians and displaced at least 1.2 million people.

“Where would Russian tanks be today if NATO had not expanded the borders of freedom? There is no room in this party for apologists for Putin,” Pence said, according to excerpts from the closed speech obtained by The Associated Press. “There is only room for champions of freedom.”

If NATO were not trying to expand, then we would not have war today. Ukraine would be an independent and neutral country. Russian tanks would be back in Russia.

I am not sure there is room in the party for Pence, as he seems to have alienated all his supporters.

The NY Post also has this report from Ukraine:

Oleksandra Matviichuk, 38, is a human rights lawyer who lives in Kyiv with her husband and two cats. She is head of the Center for Civil Liberties and has been documenting war crimes since Russia invaded Crimea in 2014, work that has increased since Vladimir Putin’s troops entered the country on Feb. 24.

Okay, the cat ladies say that there have been some human rights violations. I do not doubt it.

How New Jersey Forces Homosexual Views on Kids

To be a foster or adoptive parent in New Jersey, you apparently have to repudiate your religious beliefs about homosexuality. And you and the kids may have to attend psychotherapy to make sure you have properly repented.

From a recent court decision:

But three weeks after informing the Lasches that they might be able to adopt the children, Higgins told the Lasches that a couple in Illinois was interested in adopting all five siblings. The Lasches inquired about the prospective adoptive family, and both Higgins and her supervisor, Epperly, stated that they did not know the answers to those questions. Later, in discussing the putative adoption with the foster parents for the other siblings, the Lasches learned that the Illinois couple was "two wealthy gay men with lots of family around to support them and the adoption."

A few days later, Higgins came to the Lasches' home and questioned Foster Child 1 about whether she would change her religious beliefs about homosexual conduct — which she held before meeting the Lasches — if she were placed with another family. About four months later, for reasons that remain confidential, the Lasches and DCPP agreed that Foster Child 2 should be removed from the Lasches' home. ...

The hearing on June 4, 2018, was eventful. The Illinois couple no longer had an interest in adopting any of the five siblings. And the judge indicated that the children needed psychiatric evaluations moving forward.

After that hearing, inquiries about the Lasches' religious beliefs intensified. Later that month, Foster Child 1 came home from a therapy session visibly upset because the therapist repeatedly brought up religion and told her not to feel pressured to follow the Lasches' religious beliefs. When Jennifer Lasche confronted the therapist, the therapist relayed that she and Higgins had previously discussed the Lasches' "ideas about same-sex couples."

As far as I can see, the only actual homosexuals involved were the Illinois couple that dropped out.

Germany Won World War II

Orthodox Jewish law professor Alan Dershowitz rants about the Ukrainian WWII Nazi collaborators, and adds:

The vast vast vast majority of Germans got away with mass mass murder ...

Germany won the war. They accomplished Hitler's goal. Posthumously, to be sure.

Hitler said kill the Jews and we will be richer and more powerful. And they killed the Jews and were richer and more powerful.

Look, the world has to balance.

There were people who took a different view. Morgenthau, the secretary of the Treasury. He said at the end of the Second World War that Germany, for the next 50 years, ought to be relegated to being an agrarian country. ... People should have to live and eat on their own farms. ... German people ... should suffer for 50 years. ...

Germany quickly became the most wealthy and most powerful country in Europe.

So he does not favor punishing Ukraine today for what happened in the 1940s, as opposing Russia is the greater good.

I have never heard this WWII opinion expressed before.

Why Ukraine must be Defended

CBS News reports:

Zi Faámelu was born and raised in Crimea, an area of Ukraine that was invaded and taken over by Russia in 2014. Now the 31-year-old lives in Kyiv, the capital city that has been under Russian siege for nearly a week. She is running out of food and hasn't left her house for days as gunfire erupts outside.

And she says she can't leave.

Faámelu, who is transgender, said that transphobia is pervasive in the city and neighboring countries, and fears that if she leaves, the tension of the ongoing conflict will make her more susceptible to violence. Faámelu was previously a popular contestant on the Ukrainian singing competition show "Star Factory."

It is alarming how many people want war.

Some say Putin is evil, criminal, or a madman. Maybe so, I don't know. Whether he is or not, this war is unnecessary.

The Declining State of the Union

Here is the list of Trump White House accomplishments, as archived here on Jan. 20, 2021.

It is an impressive list. Now that Biden has been President for a year, and he has failures on many fronts, we need a list of the bad things Trump did not do.

Biden has lost one war, and started another. We have high inflation, and product shortages. We are being overrun by foreigners.

All Biden had to do, in the last year, was to declare that Ukraine was not going to be admitted to NATO. Instead, he persisted in trying to get Ukraine into NATO, and kept making statements that Ukraine could join. This looks as if he is trying to start World War III.

Congress Tries to Ban Hair Discrimination

You probably think Congress is preoccupied with concerns about the Ukraine war. Nope.

The Hill reports:

The House fell short of passing legislation on Monday that would prohibit discrimination against people with hair styles associated with a particular race or national origin.

Democrats set a vote on the bill, titled the Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair, or CROWN, Act under a fast-track process used for noncontroversial bills that required a two-thirds supermajority for passage. While the bill clinched a simple majority, 235-188, it did not meet the two-thirds threshold due to GOP opposition.

It's possible that House Democrats will bring up the bill for a vote again later, but under a process where they only need a simple majority to send it to the Senate.

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.), the bill's author, argued it's essential to formally ban hair discrimination because African Americans are often penalized under workplace and school dress code policies for having natural hairstyles such as afros, braids and cornrows.

"Far too often, Black people, especially Black women and girls, are derided or deemed unprofessional simply because their hair does not conform to white beauty standards," Watson Coleman said on the House floor.

"Our natural hair is as innate a quality of Black people as the presence of melanin in our skin. Discriminating against our hair is no different is no different than discriminating against the color of our skin," she said.

Apparently a lot of Black women are neurotic about their hair. Not sure what that is all about.

Nobody cares about the melanin in their skin, so the analogy is silly.

First we have to get that Black hair on the Supreme Court:

As President Joe Biden prepares to make good on his promise to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, more than a dozen black female lawmakers in the House of Representatives on Thursday called on him to select a nominee committed to advancing civil rights. ...

"The appointment of a Black woman justice with an established record of working to advance racial justice and eradicating entrenched white supremacy is of the utmost importance in reviving the Supreme Court's credibility," more than a dozen members of the Congressional Black Caucus said.

I thought her job would be to follow the law and decide case. No, it will be to eradicate entrenched White supremacy, whatever that is.

The Russia haters have trying to convince everyone to change pronunciation of the Ukraine capital:

Kiev or Kyiv?

As Russian forces menace the Ukrainian capital and thousands flee, the very least onlookers around the world can do is learn how to say the name of the city under siege.

The short answer is simple: Ukrainians call their capital “Kyiv” (kee-yiv), the spelling, a transliteration of the Ukrainian Київ. The Russian version is “Kiev” (kee-yev).

When I hear gripes like there, I assume that they don't have any real problems to complain about.

Update: The House vote was 220-188 for the Bad Hair Bill. It passed the Senate Judiciary Committee on Sept. 30, 2021 by a vote of 23 to 15.

It is hard to take any Black complaints seriously, as long as they push silly laws like this.

Ketanji Brown Jackson may be the wrong person to eradicate White supremacy, since she is married to a White man. Jackson is the name of her surgeon husband. But maybe she can help interpret the legal effect of the Bad Hair Bill! She probably artificially straightens her hair.

More bad race-baiting laws are coming. The Wash. Post reports:

More than three decades after it was first introduced, a House bill that would create a commission to study reparations for Black Americans has the votes to pass, its key champions say.

That broad support, they contend, shows that the idea of reparations has gone from the fringes to the mainstream of American politics.

What Distinguishes Us from Putin

Most of the USA political leadership, and most of the news media, has gone anti-Putin.

Breitbart reports:

“LGBT+ rights” are the most important “values and hard won freedoms” distinguishing “us” from Russian President Vladimir Putin, Richard Moore, chief of MI6, the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service, wrote on Friday.

Moore did not specify if his use of “us” was a reference to the United Kingdom, the Anglosphere, or the broader West.

He expressed his sentiments via Twitter, relating his remarks to ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. He included an acronym from “LGBT+ History Month,” with “LGBT+” for “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans +.”

He wrote, “With the tragedy and destruction unfolding so distressingly in Ukraine, we should remember the values and hard won freedoms that distinguish us from Putin, none more than LGBT+ rights. So let’s resume our series of tweets to mark #LGBTHM2022.”

Moore highlighted an “LGBT+ support group” within MI6 to illustrate his emphasis of “LGBT+ rights” as the primary philosophy distinguishing “us from Putin.”

Pkay, that clears that up.

I believe that homosexuals have full civil rights in Russa. The gripe is that it does not have Pride parades with drag queens.

Trayvon Led to BLM Protests

A recent NY Times promotional video brags:

Imagine Harry Potter Without Its Creator

I guess it is saying that JK Rowling should be canceled for saying women are women.

New NY Times video:

President Obama: Trayvon Martin Made America Confront Its Original Sin | NYT Opinion
The New York Times

Ten years ago, Trayvon Martin was fatally shot by George Zimmerman, who perceived the unarmed teenager as a threat. He would later be acquitted of all charges in the killing, arguing successfully that he had acted in self defense. These events reignited the conversation about race and justice in America. "The contemporary civil rights movement unfolded directly in response to the murder of Trayvon Martin,” says Henry Louis Gates Jr. in a new Opinion video. Former President Barack Obama argues that Trayvon's death "was the start of America looking inward and in fits and starts coming to terms with what has always been our original sin."

Gates calls it "murder", and others say Martin was innocent.

It includes deceptively edited audio of the 911 call, and race baiting by Barack Obama and Al Sharpton. Another says:

I don't know what this child could have done to be safe, except not be Black. [1:48]

Another said he just bought a snack and went home.

At 1:15, the video mentions Michael Brown, George Floyd, and others as victims of racist murders.

I watched the Trayvon trial, and he was not just returning home. He did not live there. He was on drugs, and suspiciously cutting thru private property. He snuck up on Zimmerman, tackled him, and was brutally pounding his head into the pavement. Witnesses recorded Zimmerman desperately calling for help 15 times or so, while being beaten up. They called 911, but did not intervene. Eventually there was a struggle for the gun, and Zimmerman managed to pull the trigger.

A unanimous jury agreed that it was self-defense.

Michael Brown was also a vicious killer who was shot by his victim in self-defense.

I don't want to blame a whole race for a minority of criminals. That is not the point here. My issue is the NY Times saying:

Trayvon Martin Is Still Making President Obama: Trayvon Martin Made America Confront Its Original Sin

What is the meaning of this? Zimmerman was not White. No evidence of any racism was presented at the trial. America's original sin seems to be a reference to the slave trade, 300 years ago. Nobody is confronting that.

Apparently Obama, the NY Times, and the whole BLM movement are trying to say that it should be acceptable for Martin to do what he did.

It is not. No civilized society can tolerate thugs like Martin. He deserved to die. Anyone who defends him is a horrible person. Any movement inspired by him should be stopped.

Here is a current story:

MIDVALE, Utah (ABC4) – A man is in custody after he told his 4-year-old child to shoot at police while at a Midvale McDonalds Monday afternoon.

Police say Sadaat Johnson, 27, of Salt Lake City, had both his 4-year-old child and 3-year-old child in the backseat of his car when the incident happened.

According to police, around 1:30 p.m., the father got upset when the order he had placed in the drive-thru line was wrong. In response to the incorrect order, the man brandished a gun.

Police arrived on the scene shortly after employees reported the incident and after they asked the man to pull to the front of the restaurant.

Officers say the man was non-compliant after they issued several commands asking the man to get out of his car. Rocket fuel experiment explodes in BYU dorm room

Officers then opened the car door and pulled the man from the car. As they were getting the man in custody, an officer turned back toward the car and saw a gun pointing out of the back window.

The officer swiped the gun to the side as it was fired and realized the person who fired the gun was a child.

Police say the child that fired the gun was 4-years-old.

Witnesses at the scene say they overheard the father tell the child to shoot.

This is what law enforcement has to deal with. The article does not say the race of the man. He could be White, I guess.

Canada to Outlaw Bad Thoughts

The hate crime laws are having trouble finding hate crimes, so Canada is expanding them to include suspicions about future hate speech:

A new bill proposed by woke Canadian legislators allows for pre-emptory lawsuits to be filed on the suspicion that someone will someday engage in hate speech, the Citizen Free Press reported.

The long-dead ‘innocent until proven guilty’ standard has now been replaced by ‘guilty until proven innocent.’

According to Bill C-36, all that is required to pursue legal action against potentially hateful opponents is “reasonable grounds,” which, as evidenced over the decades, courts tend to read very broadly.

It says that “a person may, with the Attorney General’s consent, lay an information before a provincial court judge if the person fears on reasonable grounds that another person will commit (a) an offence under section 318 advocating genocide or subsection 319” inciting hate or promoting hatred.

The bill was written to specifically target those who have been deemed to have ‘privilege,’ and would discriminate against protected classes.

It covers “an offence motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, color, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other similar factor.”

War in Ukraine

Russian leader Putin said he wanted one thing: to keep Ukraine out of NATO.

Admitting Ukraine to NATO would mean putting soldiers on Russia's border, and USA and Europe promising to defend Ukraine if invaded. Pres. Biden says that we may admit Ukraine, but we will not defend it with troops until it is admitted.

This is essentially the same as telling Russia to invade Ukraine now, instead of later.

Ukraine is a failed state, and may be better off as part of Russia. USA foreign policy is unbelievably bad. I blame Biden for this war.

Bertrand Russell's political views

Bertrand Russell was a great XX-century intellectual, and he got the 1950 Nobel Prize in Literature for his anti-Christian books, notably the 1929 book Marriage and Morals. He advocated eugenics and racial theories:

In extreme cases, there can be little doubt of the superiority of one race to another. North America, Australia, and New Zealand certainly contribute more to the civilization of the world than they would do if they were still peopled by aborigines.

It seems on the whole fair to regard Negroes as on the average inferior to white men, although for work in the tropics they are indispensable, so that their extermination (apart from the question of humanity) would be highly undesirable.

He would later retract this:

Russell would later write "I never held Negroes to be inherently inferior. The statement in Marriage and Morals refers to environment conditioning. I have had it withdrawn from subsequent editions because it is clearly ambiguous."

I am glad to see someone revise his opinion in the light of new evidence, but it is not clear how his opinions were based on evidence.

I just note now intellectual opinions have changed. His opinions about eugenics and racial superiority were considered progressive and respectable, from 1929 to 1950. Anyone saying such things today would be blackballed from all prizes.

Fred Hoyle was one of the great astrophysicists of the XX century, and would have gotten a Nobel Prize, but was blackballed for his eccentric views. So yes, prize committees will reject someone for views that are out of favor.

Russell was widely praised for being an advocate of Free Thought, but he also tells how he rejected Christianity and free will as a teenager. He also wrote an essay denying the law of causality.

For a great logical thinker, he sure held a lot of contradictory opinions.

Seattle Repeals Bike Helmet Law

Daniel Kriegman, a psychologist and former friend of Harvey Weinstein, writes in Quillette:

In 1986, an article by Robert Longo in Psychology Today stated (without reference to any supportive data or scientific research) that “Most untreated sex offenders go on to commit more offenses, indeed as many as 80 percent do.” That article was then referenced in a manual published by the US Department of Justice. And, on the basis of that manual, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in a 2002 SCOTUS decision that sex criminals pose “a frightening and high risk of recidivism” and that “the rate of recidivism of untreated offenders has been estimated to be as high as 80 percent.” Justice Kennedy repeated the “frightening and high” claim in a subsequent decision the following year.

He goes on to explain that this is completely false, and that the sex offender recidivism rate is lower than for most other crimes.

I am not sure about his analysis of Weinstein, but we need legal policies that reflect the realities of the crimes.

Seattle is repealing a law, just because Blacks disobey it:

In the face of data showing enforcement has been both minimal and has disproportionately affected people of color and those experiencing homelessness, the King County Board of Health voted Thursday to repeal its decades-old mandatory helmet law for bicycle riders. The repeal goes into effect in 30 days.

Here, "people of color" is a euphemism for Blacks. Coloed Asian-Americans have been obeying the helmet law.

The helmet law is a stupid and unnecessary nanny state law, but this is a stupid reason to repeal it.

Sam Harris Talks to a Panel of Trump Haters

Latest Sam Harris podcast:

The Future of American Democracy

In this episode of the podcast, Sam Harris speaks with Anne Applebaum, David Frum, Barton Gellman, and George Packer about the ongoing threat to American democracy posed by Republican misinformation and disinformation regarding the 2020 Presidential Election and the attack on the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

This is all a code phrase for anti-Trump rants from Trump-haters.

The funny thing about it is that, even tho Harris assembled a very distinguished panel, their criticisms were insubstantial. They accused Trump of breaking laws, but admitted that his violations were all trivial and inconsequential. They accused him of being authoritarian, but said that he never used his Presidential power to do what he might have done. They had no significant complaints about his results.

What they did do was to gripe about his style and rhetoric. They were like a bunch of rabbis complaining that a newcomer was not behaving according to their unwritten congregation rules, and not taking their hints to change.

Sometimes I think that Harris is a closet Trump supporter, as makes such silly arguments. At one point Harris made a big pitch for free speech on social media like Facebook and Twitter, and that Trump is the only one who should be banned.

Their main points about Democracy were: (1) Trump has undermined democracy by claiming the 2020 election was stolen; (2) Republican efforts to reform election law may cause distrust in the 2022 and 2024 elections, because of the suggestion that election law needs to be fixed; and (3) Democrats need to reform election law in order to make our elections democratic.

Any pretense to neutrality was gone at this point. They just want election laws to favor their partisan political preferences.

If they really wanted democracy, they would favor elections where all votes are cast, counted, and witnessed on election day. None of the panelists favored that.

Our legal system has gone anti-White, as shown by the conviction of Kim Potter:

Kim Potter, the former police officer convicted in the death of Daunte Wright during a traffic stop in April 2021, was sentenced to 16 months in prison on Friday.

Judge Regina Chu handed down a sentence of 24 months, with 16 months served in prison. The rest of the sentence will be served under supervised release. Potter must also pay a $1,000 fine.

In December, a jury found Potter, who worked for the Brooklyn Center Police Department in Minnesota, guilty of first- and second-degree manslaughter.

During the trial, Potter's team alleged Wright was responsible for his own death. To refresh your memory: Authorities said they pulled Wright over for using an illegal air freshener and then discovered he had an outstanding warrant. Wright tried to drive off as the officers attempted to arrest him, at which point Potter shot and killed him. She testified that she mistakenly drew her gun instead of her Taser.

Defense attorney Earl Gray told the court that Wright "caused his own death." But the jury didn’t buy it.

Potter did not violate the law, as Alan Dershowitz explains. She is going to prison because she is White, and because a violent Black criminal resisted a lawful arrest.

John Oliver pushes Anti-White Propaganda

John Oliver is back with a video on indoctrinating American students with Critical Race Theory.

It is supposed to be comedy, but he mainly gets laughs from a audience trained to laugh whenever he says F*CK, which he says in every third sentence.

He keeps saying "we" as if he were an American, but he says it in a low-class British accent. He is married to an American, and has been in American broadcast long enough to learn an American accent, if he had any talent.

He complains about people quoting MLK on not judging people by the color of their skin. Oliver wants schools to judge by skin color.

He complains about rumors of students using the N-word, but then argues that it is only bad for White people to use it.

He complains that someone once made an argument at a public school board meeting, even tho he did not have a child attending the school.

He says that America must be racist, because some people questioned Barack Obama's citizenship and religion in 2008. (A third of Blacks don't know his religion either -- are they therefore racist? Well, yes, they probably are.)

He complains that many CRT critics say that the theory is incoherent. (Yes, it can be incoherent, and reasonable to be against it.)

He complains that CRT get lumped together with other anti-white ideologies.

Mainly he advocates laws enabling public schools to teach that Whites are evil and racist.

He is a good example of how TV comedy has become Woke propaganda, and is not funny anymore.

Latest Ivermectin Study is Inconclusive

CNN reports:

The antiparasitic drug ivermectin doesn't prevent severe disease from Covid-19 any more effectively than symptom management and close observation by medical professionals, according to a study published Friday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.

The study enrolled nearly 500 people 50 and older who were at risk of severe Covid-19 because of their age and underlying health. These patients were treated at 20 public hospitals and a quarantine center in Malaysia in 2021. ...

It was a randomized-controlled trial, the gold standard of medical research, in which researchers test an intervention against a placebo.

Convinced? Here is the actual study:

Question Does adding ivermectin, an inexpensive and widely available antiparasitic drug, to the standard of care reduce the risk of severe disease in patients with COVID-19 and comorbidities? ...

Conclusions and Relevance In this randomized clinical trial of high-risk patients with mild to moderate COVID-19, ivermectin treatment during early illness did not prevent progression to severe disease. The study findings do not support the use of ivermectin for patients with COVID-19.

No, this was not a double-blind study, so it was not "gold standard".

Treatments averaged 5.1 days after exposure, so these were late treatments.

Of the 241 patients getting ivermectin, 3 died. 10 of the 249 patient control group died. This significance was 91%, less than the 95% required for the journal to call it statistically significant.

Okay, but ivermectin might have saved 6 out of 10 lives. Sounds like a big potential benefit to me.

This is what is called a null result. No statistically significant conclusions. It does not tell anything about whether to use the drug. Note the carefully worded conclusion, "study findings do not support". That is a tricky way of saying that it tells us nothing.

I take that back. It does tell us something. It is not a miracle drug, and not a killer either. But are you better off getting it if you are hospitalized for covid? It does not tell us.

Here are more studies on ivermectin.

No Free Speech in Finland

Jonathan Turley reports:

Finland may be viewed as “the happiest place to live” but not if you value free speech. A major free speech case is brewing in the country after Member of Parliament (and former Interior Minister) Päivi Räsänen was criminally charged after tweeting a quotation from the Bible in opposition to her church’s sponsorship of an LGBT pride event. Räsänen, 61, is reportedly facing up to two years in prison for exercising her rights of free speech and freedom of religion.

On June 17, 2019, Räsänen asked in a Twitter post how the sponsorship was compatible with the Bible, linking to a photograph of a biblical passage, Romans 1:24-27, on Instagram. She also posted the text and image on Facebook. However, she also insisted that “The purpose [of] my tweet was in no way to insult sexual minorities. My criticism was aimed at the leadership of the church.”

The Prosecutor General charged Räsänen with incitement against a minority group, arguing that her statements were “likely to cause intolerance, contempt, and hatred towards homosexuals.”

She should have a right to insult.

I do not even agree it is insulting. Ask yourself, if this opinion is insulting, then is the opposite opinion also insulting? Obviously yes. So why is one opinion punished but not the other? Because of the political power of those being supposedly insulted.

Punished for having an Opinion on Immigration

I mentioned Amy Wax, and now her academic freedom is ending.

NBC News reports:

The dean of the University of Pennsylvania Carey School of Law said he would seek sanctions against tenured law professor Amy Wax over discriminatory remarks she made about the Asian American community.

Wax said early this month that the U.S. is “better off with fewer Asians and less Asian immigration.” Dean Ted Ruger said in a statement Tuesday that he had received multiple complaints since 2017 citing Wax’s behavior as disruptive to students and the school community.

Either we have policies that lead to more Asian immigration, or less. If she advocated more immigration, Penn would be rewarding her.

“The complaints assert that it is impossible for students to take classes from her without a reasonable belief that they are being treated with discriminatory animus.”

I guess the dean is saying that BIPOCs are too stupid to understand what Wax said.

A Gallup poll reports:

58 percent of all Americans are dissatisfied with current immigration levels.

Thinking that we would be better off with less Asian immigration is a mainstream view. Probably most Americans agree. Why can't a university dean tolerate that opinion?

Another Gallup poll says:

The percentage of U.S. adults who self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or something other than heterosexual has increased to a new high of 7.1%, which is double the percentage from 2012, when Gallup first measured it. …

Roughly 21% of Generation Z Americans who have reached adulthood — those born between 1997 and 2003 — identify as LGBT.

Apparently the big increase is in those claiming to be bisexual. My guess is that they aren't really bisexual, but say that in order to appear liberal and broad-minded. They are like those liberals who claim to be not racist, but live in an all-white neighborhood.

Update: Also punished for having an opinion on immigration is Michelle Malkin, who got blackballed from Airbnb. And Ann Coulter points out that VDARE got kicked out out of Colorado Springs for similar opinions. A lawsuit got dismissed. The legal rationale had to do with Civil War statues in Charlottesville.

New Studies say Blacks are Noncompliant

The NY Times reports:

Medical records contain a plethora of information, from a patient’s diagnoses and treatments to marital status to drinking and exercise habits.

They also note whether a patient has followed medical advice. A health provider may add a line stating that the patient is “noncompliant” or “non-adherent,” signaling that the patient has been uncooperative and may exhibit problematic behaviors.

Two large new studies found that such terms, while not commonly used, are much more likely to appear in the medical records of Black patients than in those of other races. ...

“It’s not so much whether you should never use these words, but why are we applying these words with so much more frequency to Black patients?” said Michael Sun, the lead author of the study and a third-year medical school student at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Medicine. “Do we really believe Black patients are truly not compliant, so many more times than white patients?” ...

Looking at some 8,700 notes about patients with diabetes, 6,100 notes about patients with substance use disorder and 5,100 notes about those with chronic pain, the researchers found that patients with diabetes — most of whom had type 2 diabetes, which is often associated with excess weight and called a “lifestyle” disease — were the most likely to be described in negative ways. Nearly 7 percent of patients with diabetes were said to be noncompliant with a treatment regimen, or to have “uncontrolled” disease, or to have “failed.”

A note might say that a patient “refused diabetic diet,” for example, or was “noncompliant with insulin regimen.” The more severe the disease, the more likely the patient was to have notes with negative descriptors.

So Blacks are fat and lazy and refuse to follow medical advice. Or they just appear that way because of systemic racism. Stay tuned for further research.

Whites are a Minority in the Schools

Axios reports:

79% of U.S. public school teachers identified as white, non-Hispanic

NCES student data from 2018-2019: 47% of all public elementary and secondary school students in the U.S. were white, 27% were Latino, 15% were Black and 5% were Asian American.

This is the future.

France says Mother can be a Man

reports:

A court of appeal in the southern French city of Toulouse has just ruled that a woman who was born male should be considered the mother of the child she conceived with her partner before her sex change.

In what is a first for France's judiciary, a court of appeal recognised the right of a male-to-female transgender person - who conceived a child with her male reproductive system - to be named as the mother on the child's birth certificate.

I don't know why this is news. I happen to know a California man who is listed on the birth certificate as the mother of his 8-year-old child. No other parent is listed.

It is the logical consequence of anti-discrimination policies. California considers it discriminatory to say a child has two parents, or that one must be a man and one a woman, or that the mother has to be a woman.

California does insist that each child has at least one human parent.
