John Rocker was Right

Vox Day writes:

Twenty-five years ago, the Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker wrote an impassioned observation about the decline of New York.

“Imagine having to take the 7 Train to the ballpark looking like you’re riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It’s depressing. The biggest thing I don’t like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?”

He was roundly condemned for this by the national media, by Major League Baseball, and was even forced to undergo professional counseling for the thought crime of noticing the consequences of the foreign invasion the city was undergoing. And now, with what appears to be the imminent election of a socialist Muslim born in Uganda to the highest elective office in New York City, he’s taking a well-earned victory lap.

25 years ago I criticized New York for its rapid decline into a third world country. I was forced to undergo Psychological Counseling, as if I were the crazy one. 25 years later, the city is voting in a muslim socialist for mayor.

This is an object lesson for all of the puritanical goodthinkers and immigration fetishists who drank the equalitarian Kool-Aid. Those Cassandras you condemned for being “crazy” and “racist” and “bigoted” were right all along. All of history, recent and ancient, clearly testifies to the obvious fact that if you permit a sufficient number of foreigners to enter your country, they will change it to suit their preferences with absolutely no respect for what was there before them.

The equalitarian ideology has failed. The Enlightenment has failed. Multiculturalism and anti-racism have failed. Immigration is a clear, present, and existential danger to most of the nations of the West.

If you are still having trouble understanding the concept, ask an American Indian to explain it to you.

I remember this, as an early cancelation. I think a Sports Illustrated reporter baited him into redneck some trash talk, and he naively complied. I guess his employer forced him into a public apology, but that did not help.

Women Vote for Socialist Mohammedan

A Fox News Poll found that Zohran Mamdani got 81% of the under-30 female vote in New York City.

I guess NY Jews are not as powerful as I thought.

Was it because he is young, socialist, or Mohammedan?

I mentioned the Helen Andrews theory that feminization is the core driver behind woke politics. Maybe this helps explain the NYC mayor election. Otherwise it is hard to understand voting for a socialist Mohammedan.

As recently as 1950, NYC was 90% White.

Virginia elected a attorney general in spite of this:

In October 2025, Jones came under fire for a 2022 text conversation with fellow delegate Carrie Coyner, in which Jones repeatedly made statements advocating violence against then–House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his family. Jones stated that if he had two bullets and could shoot Gilbert, Adolf Hitler, or Pol Pot, Gilbert "gets two bullets to the head".[29][30] Jones acknowledged that he had talked about hoping Gilbert's children would die because "Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy", before describing Gilbert and his wife as "evil" and "breeding little fascists".[31][32][33]

Update: Polls also show that Momdani got 83% of the foreigner vote. Also a big majority of the non-white vote.

Jailed for Saying Sexual Choices are Mental

News:

A man in Switzerland is facing jail after refusing to pay a fine for a comment courts have ruled discriminates against the LGBTQ community after a three-year legal battle.

Emanuel Brunisholz, a Swiss wind instrument repairman, was convicted under the country’s anti-discrimination laws for an old Facebook comment.

In 2022, he pointed out that the biological differences between men and women are obvious by their skeletal structure.

“If you dig up LGBTQI people after 200 years, you’ll only find men and women based on their skeletons. Everything else is a mental illness promoted through the curriculum,” he wrote on Facebook.

The post was reported to police, and Brunisholz was questioned a few months later. He was found guilty of discrimination and incitement to hatred by a court in Bern.

He appealed the decision in regional court in 2023 but was again found guilty and racked up 600 Swiss francs ($753) in court fees.

The court issued a fine of 500 Swiss francs in lieu of a ten-day jail term but Brunisholz refused to pay the fine and accepted incarceration instead, posting his summons on X earlier this month. He is to begin serving his sentence on December 2.

Neo-con Woman tries to Defend Feminism

Alternet reports:

Conservative/libertarian journalist Cathy Young has, at times, been highly critical of what she views as the excesses of third-wave feminism. Back in 2016, an op-ed Young wrote for the Washington Post was headlined "How Feminism Came To Be All About Hating Men."

Although the piece draw criticism from some progressives and praise from right-wing media, Young emphasized that she had no use for sexism whether it was male-bashing from the far left or misogyny from the far right. And in a lengthy article published by the conservative website The Bulwark on October 22, Young aggressively calls out a trend in the MAGA movement: blaming women for a wide range of problems.

"The latest intellectual buzz on the right is about a Compact Magazine essay that boils down to 'Women ruin everything,'" Young explains. "The piece by Helen Andrews, titled 'The Great Feminization'

I would not call The Bulwark a conservative website. It seems to hold mostly neo-con Trump-hater essays.

I mentioned Andrews' view, so I am posting a contrary view.

It’s not that women are bad, says Andrews; but their distinct qualities and values — “empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition” — transform these institutions in ruinous ways. Let too many women flock to academia, and we get touchy-feely stuff instead of “open debate and the unfettered pursuit of truth.” Too many women in journalism spell the decline of “prickly individualists” willing to brave public disapproval. '''

LET’S NOT MINCE WORDS: This a grotesquely misogynistic screed. ...

Today, there is research showing that female faculty (younger faculty, at least) and Ph.D. students in North America and the United Kingdom are more left-wing than their male peers; they are also more likely on average to prioritize social justice over truth-seeking, to support the suppression of views deemed harmful to oppressed groups, and to believe that it’s more important for the curriculum to have racial and gender diversity than to include “foundational texts.” ... Andrews tweeted:

Men have the concept of an honorable enemy. Men can engage in conflict with an opponent and still respect them. When the conflict is over, they’ll shake the other guy’s hand and accept the outcome gracefully.

Women don’t have that. If you’re her enemy, you are subhuman garbage. No rules govern the fight; no shaking hands when it’s over. It is never over. ...

Whatever the reason, this is actually the number one thing I worry about with the Great Feminization. I see it already in the female-dominated Democratic Party.

I cannot figure out these neo-cons. There is a lot of opinion, but little substance. She apparently copies a silly David French argument that her Andrews' theory does not match the French Revolution.

Another Bulwark article complains that Tucker Carlson interviewed Nick Fuentes. Exactly why this is so upsetting is not clear. It tries to imply that Fuentes is a Nazi.

It is weird that they hate Fuentes so much. He is primarily known for being America First, and being Christian. He once made an ambiguous offhand comment about "six million cookies", and Jews were very offended. The most outrageous thing he said in the interview was that he like Stalin. He did not say why.

There is also a systematic effort to ostracize Tucker Carlson, as he does not support Israel's war on Gaza.

Fuentes is “the most dangerous man in America to Jews.”

A Republican congressman Randy Fine says:

Make no mistake. Today, Tucker Carlson is the most dangerous antisemite in America.

It is weird that they focus on some podcasters, while a Mohammedan anti-Israel foreigner is about to be elected mayor of New York City. The Trump-haters talk about Nazis and Hitler all the time. Here is Ben Shapiro, a right-wing Jew, with a 41-minute rant against Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes. Young continues:

Democrats are once again comparing the Trump administration to Hitler and Nazi Germany. The renewed rhetoric was the subject of debate at a Congressional hearing that included the Democratic governors of three sanctuary states.

Democrats have either called or compared President Donald Trump and his supporters to Nazis for years, going back to his first administration.

That trend began again in May when Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, compared the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the Gestapo.

New rule: Just ignore anyone talking about Nazis. But some deny that they do it.

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said on Monday she doesn't believe any Democrat has compared President Donald Trump to German dictator Adolf Hitler.

Apparently Fuentes is an extremely divisive figure in the right-wing. He has just enough of a following to get attention. Some disagree with him, but think that he is raising important issues. Others consider him a huge embarrassment, and wish that he would go away.

Shapiro is particularly disturbed that Carlson said that Christian Zionism is a heresy. Shapiro is not a Christian. I do not know why he would even have an opinion on this. I do not post opinions about what Jewish law ought to be.

Mark Levin went into a rant against Carlson and Fuentes before a right-wing Jew audience:

we canceled Pat Buchanan. We canceled the John Birch Society, ... We cancel stuff all the damn time.

I assume that "we" means the Jews.

No, I do not agree with canceling Buchanan, Birch Society, or Carlson. They are all mainstream conservatives, and are not anti-semitic. Fuentes is more of a trouble-maker. I am not sure about Fuentes, but he is just another guy with an opinion.

Some of these Jews seem to be trying to convince us that Jews are the gatekeepers of the popular media. Only certain opinions are allowed.

Update: This dispute has gotten bigger than I expected. In short, conservatives are being split into America First and neo-con pro-Israel factions.

Kamala Harris writes Delusional Book

One of the craziest things about Kamala Harris's new book, 107 Days, is her claim that Joe Biden was fully competent to be President, but not to campaign for re-election.

She was happy to be his VP, without calling out his senility. But she says that he had a obligation to drop out earlier, and endorse her. She blames her election loss on not having enough time to campaign.

She also blames Donald Trump for not more accurately defining what he would do as President, and blames Elon Muskinnnnnnnth

All of this is crazy, as Harris's popularity declined the more she campaigned. The more the voters saw of her, the more they disliked her. And Trump has done a very good job of keeping his promises.

The most revealing thing here is that Harris implies that the Presidency is an easy job that can be done by a senile old man who is incompetent to do press interviews.

No, the USA Presidency is the most important and difficult job in the world.

So how could she work in the White House, and think that it is such an easy job?

The obvious explanation is that Biden was not doing the job. He was a figurehead, and a cabal of Democrat operatives were actually running the country.

It seems obvious now that everyone knew that Biden and Harris were both incompetent. Their support came from people who were really supporting the secret cabal running the White House.

The Child Abuse Pediatricians

The NY Times announces a new podcast:

this doctor’s controversial career paralleled the rise of a new subspecialty: child abuse pediatrics, a field devoted to detecting — and preventing — child abuse.

The Preventionist charts this doctor’s path to Pennsylvania, as well as the profound damage that can result from separating parents and children; the final episode is the unvarnished story of one mother’s struggle to reunite her family after it was torn apart

Apparently this new child abuse pediatricians are like crooked lawyers for hire. If you have a messy divoce or child custody case, they can be paid to produce bogus affidavits creating suspicion of the other parent committing child abuse.

Prince Andrew Stripped of his Titles

The NY Post reports:

In just a matter of hours on Thursday, Prince Andrew was cut loose from the royal family, stripped of his status and henceforth to be called Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His abruptly-formed new life, without titles and banished to the King’s Norfolk home, is a dramatic contrast to the position he was born into as the favorite son of the late Queen – and with his shocking years-long public downfall now finally complete, he will reportedly be in “hell”.

This is all from unproven rumors about Jeffrey Epstein.

I hear people refer to the Satanic Panic of the 1980s, but it is just as bad today. The evidence against Epstein was extremely thin.

Yes, he would get massages from teenaged girls, and sometimes paid for prostitution. That can be illegal and embarrassing, but not a big deal.

What makes the Epstein story a major scandal are sensationalist allegations of pedophilia, blackmail, foreign intelligence covert operations, trafficking underage girls, systematically providing prostitutes and maybe underage girls to the rich and famous, and a DoJ report of 1000+ victims.

As far as I can tell, none of this is true. Yes, Epstein got convicted of a minor offense that was strangely federalized, and his girlfriend G. Maxwell also got convicted.

I question her guilt. She was supposed to get immunity as part of a plea deal. At her trial, a couple of women told unverified stories about events 20 years earlier. One of the them was an admitted schizophrenic who was obeying voices she said she heard in her head.

The women telling stories all got paid $3M+ for telling them.

Some say where there is smoke there is fire. I say that if there were really 1000 victimes, someone would be able to find at least one credible one. No one has.

I don't know why British royalty would go along with this nonsense. Prince Andrews says he is innocent, and no one has any evidence against him that would hold up in court. Even if he did visit a prostitute, the royal family surely has a long history of extramarital affairs.

The Pizzagate conspiracy theory made more sense.

The Kalergi Plan

Wikipedia reports:

The Kalergi Plan, sometimes called the Coudenhove-Kalergi Conspiracy,[1] is a debunked far-right, antisemitic, white genocide conspiracy theory.[2][3] The theory claims that Austrian-Japanese politician Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi, creator of the Paneuropean Union, concocted a plot to mix and replace white Europeans with other races via immigration.[4] ...

The conspiracy theory stems from a section of Kalergi's 1925 book Praktischer Idealismus ("Practical Idealism"), in which he predicted that a mixed race of the future would arise: "The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today's races and classes[a] will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals."[1][8] Modern far-right individuals seek to draw relationships between contemporary European policy-making and this quote.[1]

See, for example, Practical Idealism In Action - The Kalergi Plan.

Israel and China Control VPN Services

People get talked into using VPN services, as a necessary tool for privacy. But a lot of them are controlled by Israel:

ExpressVPN is one of the biggest VPNs in the world. Millions of people use it to hide their online activity, stay safe, and protect their privacy. But there is a major problem. ExpressVPN is owned by an Israeli-linked company with deep ties to the Israeli military and the surveillance industry.

That means when you use ExpressVPN, your money could be helping fund the same system of occupation and violence that is starving and bombing Palestinians in Gaza.

Here is everything you need to know.

In 2021, ExpressVPN was bought for $936 million by Kape Technologies, a London-based company with strong Israeli roots.

Kape is not a small player in the market. It is owned by Israeli billionaire Teddy Sagi, one of the richest men in Israel. Kape has also bought CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, and ZenMate, making it one of the largest VPN empires in the world.

So when you think you are choosing between different VPNs, you may actually just be choosing between products controlled by the same Israeli company.

And many of the others are controlled by China.

If you get your internet from Concast, then it has the ability to spy on you. A VPN might be worse.

OpenAI to Spend Trillions

Axios reports:

OpenAI has committed to spend about $1.4 trillion on infrastructure so far, equating to roughly 30 gigawatts of data center capacity, CEO Sam Altman said on Tuesday. ...

That total includes the already announced deals with AMD, Broadcom, Nvidia, Oracle and other partners.

Yes, but: That's just the starting point, Altman said. Over time, the company would like to have in place a technical and financial apparatus that would allow it to build a gigawatt of new capacity per week at a cost of around $20 billion per gigawatt.

It is hard to imagine that he will get the money, or that he can get the gigawatts.

Maybe he already has artificial super-general intelligence, and can use it to get what no one else can.

Ideas too Toxic for Wikipedia

Wikipedia claims to be not censored. As if to prove that, it has a List of ethnic slurs, including notorious ones that I avoid here.

But there are certain views that are considered so toxic that they are not permitted. Not only that, but people holding any of these views can be permanently banned from Wikipedia.

I am not just saying that editors cannot express these opinions on Wikipedia. If someone is editing a Wikipedia on tiddlywinks, and he expresses one of these views elsewhere, then he can be doxed and banned from Wikipedia.

Here is the current list of toxic opinions.

• That white people are more intelligent than non-whites.
• That white people are more industrious than non-whites.
• That white people are more physically adept or attractive than non-whites.
• That white people are morally and ethically superior to non-whites.
• That the various cultures of white people are better than the cultures of non-white people.
• That white people have the right to live in a white-only nation.
• That, in majority-white countries, a large majority of crimes are committed by non-whites due to genetic factors.
• That violent, abhorrent or deceptive actions are justified in the pursuit of these beliefs.

...

• That Jews present an existential threat.
• That there exists a massive or even global conspiracy to enrich Jews at the expense of others.
• That white people are being systemically killed, out-bred and otherwise forced into a minority status.
• That Jews are the true perpetrators of Nazism, or hold an ideology that is worse or morally equivalent.
• That minority groups are seeking to destroy Western culture.
• That the Holocaust never happened, was greatly exaggerated, or that historians have inflated the death toll.
• That the Holocaust was morally justified (or, if they deny it, that it should have happened).
• That the groups persecuted by the Nazis brought it upon themselves, and that the Nazis merely acted in self-defence.
• That the wrong side won in World War II (or, the wrong side won the Great Patriotic War).
• That Adolf Hitler was a great leader for the German people, despite (or even because of) Nazi Germany's innumerable atrocities.
• That non-whites hold back white progress.
• That non-whites intend to kill whites.
• That non-whites should be slaves.
• That white people are more oppressed than other groups.
• That non-whites shouldn't have basic human rights.
• That Islam or Muslims are the overwhelming source of terrorism.
• That groups of people should be wiped off the face of the planet, or systematically "repatriated" to the lands or continents they supposedly originated from.
• That Jews are responsible for the creation of communism and/or capitalism.
• That the concept of free speech entails the freedom to post or write race-, gender-, or identity-based slurs, insults, or the promotion and glorification of hate and violence, without any consequence whatsoever, and that any consequence brought upon them is an act of censorship.
• That the Globalists are plotting to destroy Western civilization.
• That there exists a Jewish or "elite" cabal as purported in any of a variety of implausible conspiracy theories, such as QAnon, the New World Order, the white genocide, or the Great Replacement.
• That the human population has an overall genetic quality which can be improved through selective breeding, often targeting individuals considered undesirable for sterilization or elimination.
• That disabled individuals or those with mental health issues should be forcibly sterilized or killed, as part of a so-called "euthanasia" program.

So Wikipedia itself claims the free speech right to post racial slurs, but if anyone else claims that right, he will be banned from Wikipedia.

Some of these are matters of fact. Some are opinion. Many are subject to interpretation.

These bans are foolish. For example, I certainly think that the good guys won WWII, but how can I hold that view if the contrary view is suppressed? The winners write the history books. My opinion is meaningless if I am unable to learn the opposing views. I often go to Wikipedia to get unpopular views. More and more, I use AI for that.

It goes on to say:

The very existence of a "white race" is a pseudo-scientific idea that has been rejected by the scientific community since the late 1960s – shortly after the discovery of molecular genetics.

It is funny how these people can lodge all these complaints against the White race, and then claim that no such race exists. Actually, consumer dna services will tell you your racial makeup, based on dna.

Jefferson did not Enslave Anyone

NPR reports:

For example, students must understand the Declaration of Independence and why it remains a seminal visionary document. But they must also be exposed to history's complexity and contradictions, including that Thomas Jefferson, while declaring all men are created equal, enslaved more than 600 people in his lifetime.

No, Jefferson did not enslave anyone. He did own slaves, but they were mostly inherited, and already slaves when he inherited them.

The dictionary definition of "enslave" is as a one-time act of forcing a free person into bondage, and that is how the term has been used since 1605.

As a result of Barack Obama, George Floyd, The National Park Service, and various woke historians, terminilogy has been changed to place greater blame on White slave owners.

I asked AI whether Jefferson enslaved 600 people. Google Gemini AI said yes, based on evolved word usage by historians. Grok AI said no.

I do see moral distinctions between (1) subjugating free people into slaves; (2) the trans-atlantic slave trade; and (3) continuing to participate in an economic system that relied on slaves. Men saw these distinctions 200 years ago, as enslaving people and importing slaves were banned long before banning ownership of slaves.

Here someone on NPR says "students must understand" something that is a deliberate distortion of history. It is just more anti-White propaganda.

Woman to Head English Church

London Guardian news:

Dame Sarah Mullally, 63, who has been named as the 106th archbishop of Canterbury, has been described as a “theological liberal” who will ordain men and women to the priesthood, but also supports the inclusion of those who reject the ordination of women. ...

In a 2012 blog post, Mullally said of abortion: “I would suspect that I would describe my approach to this issue as pro-choice rather than pro-life, although if it were a continuum I would be somewhere along it moving towards pro-life when it relates to my choice and then enabling choice when it related to others.”

As bishop of London, she chaired a body framing the church’s decision on whether to bless same-sex marriages. She described the eventual decision to finally allow priests to bless same-sex couples in 2023 as “a moment of hope for the church”.

This may be causing a split in the church.

Religion-haters Opposed to Free Speech

I posted about a pending Supreme Court case, so here is a contary view, from a woman presenting as non-binary lesbian:

Instead, the tenor of the oral argument was one of “if you’re speaking, it’s speech, regardless of the context.” ...

I want to be very clear here that we are talking about children being subjected to a form of “care” that has been consistently debunked as pseudoscience, and is most frequently religious preaching that can be billed to insurance companies. The Alliance Defending Freedom made great hay out of the fact that counseling is an evidence-based practice, which it is, without mentioning the inconvenient fact that the specific type of counseling Chiles seeks to provide is not evidence-based. There is no reputable study, no mainstream medical organization, that endorses conversion therapy. In fact, the general medical consensus on the topic is that it is deeply harmful to those who fall victim to it, which is why more than 20 states have banned its use for minors. ...

Conversion therapy is fundamentally different from other forms of youth-focused psychology and psychiatry. Pediatric psychiatry can be life-saving, evidence-based, scientifically sound medical care. Conversion therapy is not that. It is also fundamentally different from its mainstream converse, gender-affirming care, because gender-affirming care is evidence-based and backed by reputable medical organizations, despite the concerted misinformation campaign to the contrary.

The terminology is confusing. What she calls "conversion therapy" is actually affirming sex, and teaching kids to learn to live with their innate sexual identities.

And "gender-affirming care" is teaching kids to adopt a gender identity opposite to their actual sex.

The fact that reputable medical organizations are on one side of this issue is scary.

This is a larger pattern, primarily pushed by the religious right, to ensure that misinformation, pseudoscience and fearmongering rule the day. Truth is one of our greatest defenses against fascism, something that the Christian nationalist movement knows it cannot withstand. LGBTQIA+ rights have provided it with a convenient foothold to test the limits and boundaries, and to drop stones in the constitutional pond that will ripple out to everyone, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.

It is funny to hear her talk of truth. The Bible says in John 8:31-32:

31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

She stands in favor of laws to stop kids from learning the truth.

Man Overboard, or Person in Water

News:

The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) has issued a clarification after several newspapers reported that it had labelled the term ‘man overboard’ offensive.

Numerous media outlets picked up a story published by The Telegraph on 13 September 2025, titled “‘Man overboard’ is offensive term, says Royal Yachting Association”.

The original article stated that the RYA has deemed the phrase man overboard “an offensive term that should be avoided” to “honour and value” women and non-binary people, and has suggested it should be replaced with “person in water”, a term from its inclusive language guide.

Gates Gives $200 Billion to Africa

Announcement, from a couple of months ago:

ADDIS ABABA (June 2, 2025) – In an address today in Nelson Mandela Hall at the African Union, Gates Foundation Chair Bill Gates urged African leaders to seize the moment to accelerate progress in health and development through innovation and partnership, despite current headwinds. He announced that the majority of the foundation’s $200 billion spend over the next 20 years will go to Africa with a focus on partnering with governments that prioritize the health and wellbeing of their people.

“I recently made a commitment that my wealth will be given away over the next 20 years. The majority of that funding will be spent on helping you address challenges here in Africa.”

It is possible that Bill Gates will cause more human misery than any other individual in the 21st century.

He has reduced child mortality and fueled an African population explosion. More development will cause global warming. Africa will not be able to feed itself. When Africa has a billion excess population, there will be a worldwide refugee crisis.

Transgender People are Crazy and Dangerous

Quillette reports:

Gender dysphoria is comorbid with a number of serious mental health conditions. One large 2023 Danish study, for instance, found that trans-identified individuals were five times more likely to exhibit at least one psychiatric comorbidity than were members of a non-trans control group. And recent years have witnessed many horrifying crimes committed by trans-identified individuals. Some examples include:

In 2018, a biologically female drug-store worker named Snochia Mosley shot and killed three co-workers in Aberdeen, Maryland. Friends shared messages with the media indicating that Mosley felt “the world was against her,” and that she’d begun identifying as a transgender male (and discussing hormone treatments) two years earlier.

The following year, Maya McKinney—a biologically female student who asserted a male gender identity and had begun calling herself “Alec”—opened fire at a Colorado school, killing one and wounding eight, in retaliation for alleged transphobic bullying.

Last year, a girl identifying as a boy was expelled from Les Paul Middle School in Wisconsin after she was caught plotting a school shooting. A forensic search of her phone revealed chilling queries such as “trans kill hit list.”

In 2023, “Audrey” Hale, an emotionally disturbed woman who identified as male, killed three children and three staff members at The Covenant School in Nashville. In the months leading up to the attack, Hale wrote in her journal: “My penis exists in my head. I swear to god I’m male.” Other statements included, “So now in America, it makes one a criminal to have a gun or be transgender or non-binary,” “God I hate those sh*thead politicians,” and “I need a trans doctor… This female gender role makes me want to not exist.”

Young Women Identify with Being Crazy

Skeptic magazine reports:

72% of GenZ women (i.e., those born between 1997-2006) believe “mental health challenges are an important part of my identity.”7 ... (27%) of Baby Boomer men

The women are not just crazy, they identify with being crazy.

Refugee Policy to Favor American Interests

The NY Times reports:

The Trump administration is considering a radical overhaul of the U.S. refugee system that would slash the program to its bare bones while giving preference to English speakers, white South Africans and Europeans who oppose migration, according to documents obtained by The New York Times.

The proposals, some of which already have gone into effect, would transform a decades-old program aimed at helping the world’s most desperate people into one that conforms to Mr. Trump’s vision of immigration — which is to help mostly white people who say they are being persecuted while keeping the vast majority of other people out. ...

The proposed changes would put new emphasis on whether applicants would be able to assimilate into the United States, directing them to take classes on “American history and values” and “respect for cultural norms.” ...

Critics say the plans exposes the president’s vision for what America should look like.

“It reflects a preexisting notion among some in the Trump administration as to who are the true Americans,” said Barbara L. Strack, a former chief of the refugee affairs division at Citizenship and Immigration Services during the Bush, Obama and Trump administrations. “And they think it’s white people and they think it’s Christians.”

We should be taking those who are likely to become good Americans, as opposed to the world's rejects. We have been sending Somalians to Minnesota, even though they did not even fit in in Somalia.

The NY Times appears to be horrified at this.

Billionaire Cat-lady went Bankrupt

This is old news, but I missed it. Check out this biography:

Jocelyn Wildenstein[a] (née Jocelyne Alice Périsset; (7 September 1940[b] – 31 December 2024) was a Swiss socialite[5] known for her extensive cosmetic surgery, which created a cat-like facial appearance; her 1999 high-profile divorce from billionaire art dealer and businessman Alec Wildenstein;[6][7] and her extravagant lifestyle and subsequent bankruptcy filing. ...

Wildenstein received $2.5 billion in her divorce settlement (although this amount has been rumored to be as high as $3.8 billion[29]) and $100 million each year for the following 13 years.

I do not understand how anyone could squander that much money. She went broke after the $100M payments stopped.

An American in the Year 2025

Vivek Ramaswamy lectures us:

Because we are the country where regardless of your race, your gender, your sexuality, 31:50 your religion, or your lineage, you can still be a citizen of this nation so 31:56 long as you subscribe to and live by our national creed. So what does it mean to be an American in the year 2025? It 32:03 means we still believe in those ideals of 1776. It means we believe in merit. 32:09 That the best person gets the job regardless of their genetics.

I agree with some of what he says, but who appointed him to define what it means to be an American?

He is mainly describing ideals of 2025, not 1776. I don't think anyone back then said that you are an American based on your beliefs in the national creed.

Demographic Feminization leads to Substantive Feminization

Video lecture: Helen Andrews | Overcoming the Feminization of Culture | NatCon 5.

She argues that the great feminization of the last 50 years was one of the most important trends in all of human history.

But a 8:33 political system in which men 8:35 predominate will tend to operate 8:37 according to rules of facts and 8:39 objectivity. And one in which women 8:42 predominate will tend to operate by the 8:44 rules of emotions and subjective facts, 8:47 even if there are individual men and 8:50 women who fall on the opposite side of 8:52 those camps. ...

feminization is not 10:08 just an interesting new development that 10:11 has had some pluses and minuses. It's 10:12 that feminization in the case of many 10:14 important institutions is a bad thing. 10:17 In a few cases, it is so bad as to be, 10:20 you know, to threaten the end of 10:21 civilization.

She points out that there are huge differences between men and women, and everyone agrees to that, so it is inevitable that feminization will have pluses and minuses. Indeed, people talk about the supposed pluses all the time, but it is politically incorrect to name the minuses.

I believe 13:19 demographic feminization does inevitably 13:21 lead to substantive feminization.

That is, she thinks it is fine that there are a lot more women in the elite professions, except that she does not like the consequences for society.

Update: She has a new essay on the subject.

Trump-hating DA gets Indicted

News:

New York Attorney General Letitia James admitted a Virginia property was an “investment” on financial disclosure forms while allegedly making false statements to a bank to secure a more favorable loan that prohibited its use as a rental, putting her at risk of spending decades behind bars. ...

If convicted on both counts, she faces a maximum sentence of 60 years in prison and fines of up to $2 million.

Her first appearance in federal court in Virginia is scheduled for October 24. According to experts, James could rack up as much as $10 million in legal bills defending herself from the charges.

She got elected on promised to prosecute Pres. Trump, which she did on dubious technical charges. Now Trump is getting his revenge.

I am struck by the harsh nature of federal charges. This is really a minor offense, almost as minor as the ones against Trump. But look at the penalty! 60 years in prison. Okay, she would never get sentenced to that, but it could still cost her $10 million to get acquitted.

Rich Jewish Donors Pressured Charlie Kirk

Charlie Kirk was very pro-Israel, but had soured on Israel shortly before his death. There were conspiracy theories that Israel killed him. That is extremely unlikely, and apparently proven false by the arrest of the shooter.

But the London Daily Mail confirms that Jewish donors were pressuring Kirk, and withdrawing funds:

A friend of Charlie Kirk released more text messages from a leaked group chat where the Turning Point leader raged about 'bullying' Jewish donors.

Prior to his death, Kirk fumed in a group chat that he was considering leaving the 'pro-Israel cause' because Jewish donors were pulling funding over his links to Tucker Carlson.

The text messages were leaked by Candace Owens early this week, with Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet later confirming the authenticity of the screenshots.

The Donors can do what they want, but this is revealing.

It suggests that a lot of Isreal support is fake, and driven by secret Jewish power brokers.

And it suggests that Israel is losing conservatives and young people. Conservatives have always been pro-Israel, and it should not have taken much to retain their support.

New Taylor Swift Album

The NY Post reports:

Taylor Swift’s new album “The Life of a Showgirl” is barely three days old, and already woke killjoys are tearing it apart, finding offensive lyrics where there are none.

Overly online social media critics of Swift apparently instantaneously decided the new album is rife with racism and homophobia, as well as secret messages of support for the patriarchy, eugenics, and Donald Trump.

Forensic “investigations” have uncovered “dog-whistles,” but only woke detectives themselves are capable of hearing them. ...

In her song “Wishlist,” Swift says she wants to have a couple kids and get “the whole block lookin’ like you.” Some went as far as to suggest this is an allusion to eugenics, a truly astonishing leap.

One TikTokker claimed to see a subtext, which she read as, “I want to have your white babies, and I actually want our entire neighborhood to be racially homogenous.” She continued, “Now Taylor’s calling y’all childless cat ladies because she’s about to pop out some kids.”

As someone said, if you are hearing dog whistles, you are the dog.

Taylor Swift is 35 years old. Almost 36. She wants to get married and have kids.

Not weird. This is the most normal thing she has done.

Free Speech Right to Align Identity to Sex

The US Supreme Court just heard oral argument on Chiles v. Salazar

Chiles v. Salazar, Docket No. 24-539, is a pending United States Supreme Court case regarding the constitutionality of Colorado's Minor Conversion Therapy Law (MCTL), which bans conversion therapy for minors by licensed mental health professionals. The ban was challenged on violating the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, though the state had constrained the ban to licensed professionals and only as with respect to their professional duties. The ban was upheld in lower courts.

Many briefs are posted.

Here is the argument against the law:

This law harms gender dysphoric kids 1:40:41 because the statistics that we've cited in our verified complaint as well as in 1:40:46 the uh brief that we cited with this court indicate that 90% of young people who are struggling with gender dysphoria 1:40:53 before puberty work their way through it and realign their identity with their sex. But if one of those children go to 1:41:00 a counselor and they specifically say that is the help I want realigning my identity with their sex, they cannot 1:41:07 receive that help from someone like my client. Moreover, if they're continuing 1:41:12 down the path of transition, then unfortunately they get locked into that path and eventually it leads over 90% of 1:41:21 the time once they start down the path of social transition. It will lead to the route of medicalized transition 1:41:27 which the Cass report tells us comes with a lot of harm and devastation.

Conversion therapy applies to homosexuality, and has become more controversial when it is applied to transgender identity. About half the states have similar laws, so a psychotherapist can counsel a patient to go homosexual, but not to go straight.

I am struck by all the bogus language in this case.

The argument in favor of the law is that there is a "medical consensus" on the "standard of care" that "conversion therapy" is not supported by "evidence-based practice". The therapy is "ineffective" and "potentially harmful". Changing sexual preferences is impossible because they are "innate" and "immutable". Homosexuality and transgenderism have been determined to be not pathological, so there can be no legitimate treatment to change them. Any such effort is harmful because, among other things, it can cause "family alienation". No reputable medical society or expert testimonty supports such therapy.

This is all so crazy I don't know where to stert. All psychotherapies are ineffective and potentially harmful. Say you go to a shrink or any other medical professional because you are obese and want advice getting to a healthier weight. The vast majority of people getting such advice do not lose weight. That means the advice is ineffective. Many patients get angry or depressed or develop other unhealthy habits. That means the advice is potentially harmful.

The easy way out for the therapist is the affirm the fatness, and tell the patient to stay fat. Perhaps the studies would categorize such therapy as more successful, because the patient is happier in the short term, by avoid the struggle to lose weight.

All the medical societies need to do is the announce that fatness is not pathological. Maybe also that it is innate and immutable.

This might seem like an artificial example, but it is not. People see psychotherapy for all sorts of problems, including depression, alcoholism, and personality disorders. All of these are heritable, and cannot be changed without a lot of hard work. Most psychotherapy does not work. Some people do change, with help and motivation.

Our medical societies have been corrupted to where they refuse to help kids who need help. Saying that there is a consensus is just proof of how the system has been politicized. The field of Psychology hardly ever has a consensus on anything. For something as controversial as transgenderism, a healthy profession would have a diversity of opinions on what to do about it. Maybe they would accept scientific evidence, but there is no proof that affirming transgenderism has ever benefited anyone.

I think the Supreme Court ducked the issue of conversion therapy for homosexuals, but required licensed psychotherapists to tell small kids to change gender identity is too much. I expect the Colorado law to be struck down. Such laws should have been struck down ten years ago.

Update: The strange thing is that the whole idea of conversion therapy harm is that it can be frustrating to change what you really are. But the approved transgender affirmation therapy does exactly that.

Examples of Mass Hysteria

Mass hysteria, also known as mass psychogenic illness, is when a threat (real or imagined) causes physical symptoms or bizarre behavior to spread among a large number of people.

Here are some notable examples from history:

The Dancing Plague (1518): In Strasbourg, France, a woman began dancing uncontrollably in the street. Over the next month, hundreds of others joined her, dancing until they collapsed from exhaustion, and some died. It's believed to be an example of mass psychogenic illness, possibly triggered by severe psychological distress and social strain common in the Middle Ages.

The Salem Witch Trials (1692–1693): In Salem Village, Massachusetts, a series of trials and executions took place after several young girls experienced convulsions and fits and accused members of the community of witchcraft. This panic led to the accusation of about 200 people, with 19 people being hanged.

The War of the Worlds Radio Broadcast (1938): A radio adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel The War of the Worlds, narrated in a news bulletin format by Orson Welles, caused panic among thousands of listeners who believed that an actual Martian invasion was taking place in the United States.

Tanganyika Laughter Epidemic (1962): Starting in a mission-run boarding school for girls in modern-day Tanzania (then Tanganyika), a fit of laughter spread, affecting hundreds of people in the area for months and forcing schools to temporarily close.

June Bug Epidemic (1962): At a U.S. textile factory, 62 workers experienced symptoms like nausea and dizziness. Rumors of a bug infestation that caused the illness spread, but no evidence of such a bug or environmental cause was ever found; the incident was attributed to mass hysteria, likely fueled by stress and the power of suggestion.

The Satanic Panic (1980s): A widespread moral panic in the U.S. and other parts of the world was centered on the belief that groups were ritually abusing and exploiting children as part of Satanic cults. While there was virtually no evidence to support these claims, the panic led to numerous unproven accusations and trials.

Here are some examples of mass hysteria, aka mass psychogenic illness, in modern times.

Institutional child abuse. From Penn State, Catholic Church, Boy Scouts

MeToo accusations.

Pretending men are women, and vice versa.

Idolizing George Floyd and other Black criminals. There were even cops kneeling before Blacks.

Covid-19. The world shut down over what turned out to be a bad flu season.

After 9-11-2011, importing millions of Moslem and Arabs. What was the purpose of that?

DEI.

Indians took over many of our top tech companies. Who thought that was a good idea?

Talk of harm and safe spaces. Almost every day I see someone complain about some triviality, such as some minor political opinion, and argue that it causes real harm.

New Self-help Red-pill Videos

I stumbled into this Youtube channel:

Welcome to PsycheDepth – where psychology meets philosophy, and the surface gives way to the unseen.

We journey into the deep structures of the mind, exploring the hidden forces that shape your thoughts, identity, beliefs, and reality itself. Through timeless philosophical ideas and cutting-edge psychological insights, our content uncovers the truths most people never question. This isn’t just self-help. It’s self-discovery at its core. If you’re ready to explore what truly drives you—and how to take conscious control of it—subscribe and start the descent into the depths of your psyche.

I am not sure if it is brilliant self-help lessons, or AI slop.

There are many dozens of videos, with new ones appearing every day. They appear to be entirely AI generated, but they are much more insightful than what I expect from AI.

If they are AI generated, I wonder about the training corpus. A lot of it might have been common sense in textbook psychology a few decades ago, but now it is politically incorrect and red-pilled. That is, they recognize psychological and behavior differences between men and women.

It would be alarming if an AI understands humans this well.

Medical Journal goes Extreme Leftist

The (British) Lancet, one of the top five medical journal, has gone fully woke. Here is the latest editorial:

The far-right and health: an evolving political crisis

Across Europe and North America, racism, xenophobia, and far-right nationalism have become normalised in public and political discourse, leading many people to feel anxiety and fear of violence, discrimination, and hatred. This developing political crisis is having a pervasive and devastating impact on the health and wellbeing of health workers and scientists, as well as the general population. Two major drivers have intensified these forces. First, increasing public support for and visibility of populist nationalist politics across Europe and the USA. Second, the aftermath of the Oct 7, 2023, Hamas-led terrorist attacks on Israel and subsequent genocide in Gaza has fuelled substantial increases in antisemitism and islamophobia. Furthermore, white Europeans are also experiencing xenophobic attacks from far-right political parties who favour ethnic nationalism and are opposed to policies that foster European or global collaboration. These developments, together with anti-migrant sentiments across much of the West, have produced a perfect storm. Racism, xenophobia, and discrimination are fundamental determinants of health and contribute to an array of health inequities. In this volatile political climate, it is important for the medical community to acknowledge this public health threat — and respond.

This is bizarre. Conflicts between Jews and Moslems in the Middle East go back decades, if not centuries. Why is this now an issue for a medical journal?

People are being called far right for opinions that were considered centrist 20 years ago. Ethnic nationalism describes what most of the world has been for millennia.

Britain has adopted policies of importing millions of Third World migrants. The effects on Britain, both medical and otherwise, have been overwhelmingly negative. Usually medical societies and journals stay out of political debates.

The journal could give arguments in favor of the migrant policy. But no, it just uses name-calling against the other side. This is the behavior of partisan fanatics with no solid medical or scientific backing for its opinions.

Obama's Wife Hates the Way He Chews

I am always amazed when some rich and famous woman goes public with some very petty complaint about her widely-admired husband. It happens a lot.

Page Six reports:

Michelle Obama can’t stand the way Barack Obama chews his food.

The former first lady addressed her husband’s irritating eating noises while discussing their marriage with couples therapist Dr. Orna Guralnik on Wednesday’s episode of her “IMO” podcast. ...

“Because how many times does somebody ask, ‘What are you thinking about?’ And you’re like, ‘Well, let me make up a thing,'” Michelle said, adding, “Because I don’t actually want to tell you what I was thinking about, which is like, ‘The way you’re chewing makes me want to smack you upside the head.'”

She has a good life, and I would think that she has nothing to complain about. But no, she has to make a public complaint to a couples psychotherapist about something extremely trivial.

The weird thing is that she is only famous for being Barack Obama's wife, and only admired to the extent that she supports her husband. I would think that a women in that position would do everything to make her husband look good. But no, she acts as if she resents him, and wants to lower his reputation.

How Somalis Invaded Minnesota

The NY Post reports:

This week, federal officials made an astounding announcement: Nearly half of all immigrants in greater Minneapolis were found to have committed some form of immigration fraud.

The fraud, uncovered in a September sweep, came in all kinds — sham marriages, fake death certificates and “other bizarre schemes,” as US Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph Edley put it.

But the revelation was no great surprise to those of us who have followed the settlement of some 100,000 Somali immigrants in Minnesota over the past three decades.

As far back as 2008, the State Department temporarily suspended one of the family reunification programs used by Somali immigrants when DNA testing of applicants found that 80% of all its claimed family relationships were fake.

How many people were in on this scam?

Who ever approved sending Somalis to Minnesota in the first place? Why did anyone think that was a good idea?

Britain is Going Bust

The London Economist magazine reports:

Britain's net public debt has climbed from 35% of GDP in 2005 to 95% today. The government is borrowing over 4% of GDP annually despite no emergency comparable to the financial crisis or pandemic that drove much of the earlier increase. The belt-tightening needed to stabilize debt levels amounts to about 2% of GDP. The Labour government holds a 157-seat majority in Parliament and has four years until the next election.

Britain spends about 6% of GDP supporting pensioners, an increase of over a third this century. Some 15% of the working-age population now claims jobless allowances following a surge in disability claims since the pandemic. Labour attempted to reduce spending on pensioners and welfare this year but reversed both reform plans after political outcry from within the party.

This tracks Britain importing millions of non-whites.

Brexit does not seem to have mattered much directly. Many voted for Brexit in the hopes that it would slow the foreign invasion. Just the opposite. Importing low-IQ high-crime foreigners accelerated.

Freedoms are declining. Besides paying more taxes, Britains are routinely being jailed for expressing online opinions. Some have even been arrested for saying silent prayers.

Matt Walsh rants:

Public Health “Experts” Want To Legitimize This Barbaric Practice In The Name Of Multiculturalism

43,514 views Premiered 4 hours ago The Matt Walsh Show Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the so-called public health experts in the UK have decided that actually maybe incest isn’t so bad after all. Welcoming the third world through mass migration means welcoming third world practices. This is just the latest example. ...

2:19 It would be extraordinarily timeconsuming, if not impossible, to even attempt to list all the ways that Public Health “Experts” Want To Legitimize This Barbaric Practice In The Name Of Multiculturalism 2:25 Christianity is responsible for the creation and development of Western civilization as we know it.

What if an Orangutan is Driving the Train

This is one of the great quotes in US Supreme Court history.

ABC News reports

The Court's senior conservative suggested that some members of the Court over the years have blindly followed prior judgments, comparing them to passengers on a train.

"We never go to the front see who's driving the train, where is it going. And you could go up there in the engine room, find it's an orangutan driving the train, but you want to follow that just because it's a train," Thomas said.

Sometimes we need an unreconstructed conservate to call a spade a spade.

Human Ancestors were Not Out of Africa

This New Scientist video argues that the theory about humans being out of Africa is false.

The new evidence is a Chinese skull that was previously thought to be Homo Erectus, but has been re-analyzed to be a million-year-old Denosivan. This is surprising because it was thought that Homo Sapiens, Neanderthals, and Denosivans only split 600k years ago. Now it is thought that they must have split more than a million years ago, maybe 1.3M years ago. That split is said to be form "Ancestor X", the presumed common ancestor.

The video is confusing in places, because it refers to Homo Sapiens as "us", but all three of those human groups are ancestors to today's non-African humans. Also, it is still thought that human ancestors left African 60k years ago, and interbred with Neanderthals and Denosivans.

Okay, but if this Denosivan lived in China, then maybe Ancestor X did also, and large brains could have evolved in Europe or Asia, not Africa. Then perhaps Ancestor X migrated to Africa, and descendants later migrated out.

There are missing pieces to this story, so it will probably get revised again.

BBC reports

The earliest known evidence for early Homo sapiens in Africa is 300,000 years ago, so it is tempting to conclude that our species might have evolved first in Asia.

It is also tempting to think that China artifically expanded the fossil skull to make it look like humans evolved in China.

This podcast claims that there are humans in Africa today that would be considered a different species, if humans were categorized by other animals.

You might wonder why anyone cares about this stuff. It seems to say something about what it means to be human.

Later on the video attacks Pres. Trump and says:

It's truly heartbreaking to know that these actions will put children, pregnant people, and 23:08 vulnerable groups in harm's way.

British Feminists Invite Migrant Rapists

England is importing criminals

New research conducted by the Centre for Migration Control has revealed that in 2024 foreign nationals accounted for between 28% and 34% of convictions for “sexual assault on a female” across England and Wales.

It also shows that foreign nationals accounted for a quarter of all “rape of a female over 16” convictions last year, despite them accounting for roughly just 10.9% of the population.

So what do the feminists say? They want to import more rapists, of course:

The End Violence Against Women Coalition is one of more than 100 women’s rights groups that have today (19th August 2025) written a joint letter to the Prime Minister calling for urgent action against the weaponisation of violence against women and girls by far-right groups and mainstream politicians to further a racist, anti-migrant agenda.

Pinker Denies Bitcoin Common Knowledge

Steve Pinker is suddenly everywhere, hyping his new book, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows...: Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power, and Everyday Life.

He hits all the usual stories that everyone knows, such as the emporer with no clothes. He mentions how common knowledge leads to logic puzzles, as I predicted. But his attitude towards the bitcoin blockchain is curious.

The Bitcoin blockchain is the modern digital codification of common knowledge. Every ten minutes or so, the whole world has to reach a common understand of what transactions are being accepted. The blockchain is a protocol for doing that, and it is popular because it does not require a central bank or other authority.

No, Pinker does not see it that way. He says Bitcoin is a form of the "greater fool theory," which connects to other financial bubbles and manias. He argues there is no good reason to trust blockchain technology.

In short, Pinker's new book uses the frenzy around cryptocurrency as an illustration of his core concept, not a vindication of the technology. For Pinker and other critics, blockchain does not offer a novel, "trustless" form of common knowledge, but rather exploits human psychological tendencies to create a speculative bubble built on a deceptive premise.

This is surprising. He jumps on every other example of common knowledge, whether it supports his main points or not. And yet he eschews the biggest example of them all.

It is funny that he accepts that fiat money has value based on common knowledge, but not bitcoin. My guess is that he is more inclined to accept knowledge if it has the backing of human authorities, not computers.

Violence comes from the Left

Prof. John R. Lott writes:

On Sunday, at the memorial for Charlie Kirk — murdered by a leftist because of his political views — President Donald Trump declared “that violence comes mainly from the left.”

This is hotly disputed, and some leftists claim the opposite.

Not everyone agrees. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) countered with its latest annual report, claiming, “This is the third year in a row that right-wing extremists have been connected to all identified extremist-related killings.” According to the ADL, between 2022 and 2024, there were 34 so-called “right-wing extremist” murderers, with 23 of them (68 percent) white supremacists. They say their attacks took 61 lives.

Lott goes down the list, and finds as many left-wingers as right-wingers.

Yahoo reports:

Having designated “Antifa” a “domestic terrorist organization,” President Donald Trump has signed a memorandum seeking to “dismantle” what he is calling domestic terror “networks” in the wake of a deadly shooting this week at an immigration facility in Texas.

Trump has solely blamed Democratic officials and left-leaning groups for incidents of political violence while largely dismissing evidence against right-wing or other ideologically motivated attacks.

Censorship also comes from the Left. The Jewish Leftist ADL tweets:

We're glad to see @YouTube acted to remove Alex Jones' and Nick Fuentes' new channels within hours of their creation. But why were they able to create new accounts on the platform after being banned for many years?

Fuentes is anti-Israel, but I thought that Jones was pro-Israel.

The Danger in Being Red-pilled

Bill Maher had meme expert Aiden Walker explain:

The 14:06 red pill. So the red pill is a meme that emerges from the matrix which is from the '9s, 14:12 right? Um and that movie, you know, you offer the blue pill and the red pill and Keer Reeves takes the red pill to break out 14:19 of his re. What does it mean today when people see it? It means so what it means is if you take the red 14:24 pill then you've broken out of what they call kind of the oppressive reality of like you know mainstream society

It is not that complicated, but a lot of particles have been warning of the dangers of the red pill. Parents magazine writes:

“The term is frequently used within online communities and subcultures, particularly those associated with men's rights, ‘incel’ (involuntarily celebite) ideology, and white supremacy,” says Dr. Poncin. “This includes…adhering to heteronormative gender roles with ‘gender-typical roles’ for each.”

Redpill communities are explicitly sexist

Oftentimes, young men who join redpill communities on spaces like Reddit are exposed to misogynistic ideas, because a main tenet of the redpill belief system is that men are disenfranchised in a society that they feel favors women.

It then advises parents to be on the lookout for a son learning about the red pill, and:

Young men will need extra guidance from their parents and potentially a mental health professional if they become entrenched in online redpill forums

Similar articles were in USA Today and a mommy site.

This is crazy paranoid. Those red-pill site are primarily concerned with studying human nature, and presenting facts and evidence. Sure, some of it is anecdotal, but it is not inherently misogonystic. Women are also red-pilled. You do not send your child to a shrink just because he learns the truth about something. Later on, Maher said:

Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

Glad to see a logic point explained.

These articles try to ostracize incels:

The Rise of Incels and the Real-World Violence It Fuels

A particularly dangerous corner of the Manosphere is the incel community. Incel is short for “involuntary celibate.” These are mostly young men who feel rejected, resentful, and entitled to sex and relationships. Incel ideology often blames women for male suffering, dehumanizes them, and glorifies violence as a form of revenge or reclamation of power.

Yes, incels feel rejected because they are rejected. But they are no more violent that anyone else, and attacking them like this is cruel.

Firing Black Woman has Dire Repercussions

Yahoo reports:

Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook urged the Supreme Court Thursday to reject President Trump’s effort to fire her, arguing it would harm central bank independence and disrupt financial markets.

“Granting the President’s request for immediate relief to alter the status quo would sound the death knell for the central-bank independence that has helped make the United States’ economy the strongest in the world,” Cook’s lawyers argued in a new filing. ...

Cook's lawyers also make the argument that if the Supreme Court sides with Trump, it could have “dire repercussions” for financial markets while risking "chaos and disruption."

Really? Pres. Biden appointed Cook because she is a Black woman. She wrote some dopey academic on African colonialism, or some such nonsense, and had no banking expertise. Maybe Biden somehow confirmed that she would do what the Jews want.

The idea that our economy depends on the employment stability of an appointed Black woman banker is absurd.

The Federal Reserve Bank as a whole has been a big failure for a century. Academic research indicate the USA would have been better off without it.

The argument is often made that these bankers should be sheltered from public accountability. The best evidence for this is that Latin American dictators have sometimes used central banks to manipulate the money supply unfavorably. Yes, that's right, but I think the USA is better than that.

The other argument is that Jews have controlled the Federal Reserve Bank for the last few decades, and Jews are good with money if we do not watch them too closely. Jews have a reputation for moneylending that goes back centuries. Okay, I am sure Jews do make better bankers than Black women.

Trump's Secretary of the Treasury is not Jewish but he is gay. Maybe that is just as good.

It is funny to see Kamala Harris say in her book that she did not pick the previous gay cabinet secretary because he is gay, and then try to deny it:

Buttigieg “would have been an ideal partner — if I were a straight white man,” but he was “too big of a risk,” Harris continued.

Maddow, who is gay, pushed Harris to “elaborate,” adding: “To say that he couldn’t be on the ticket effectively because he was gay, it’s hard to hear.”

Harris quickly jumped in.

“No, no, no, that’s not what I said, that he couldn’t be on the ticket because he is gay,” the former vice president said as she shook her head.

“My point is, as I write in the book, is that I was clear that in 107 days, in one of the most hotly contested elections for president of the United States against someone like Donald Trump, who knows no floor — to be a black woman running for president of United States and as a vice presidential running mate a gay man, with the stakes being so high — it made me very sad. But I also realized it would be a real risk,” she continued.

The real problem with Buttigieg is not that he is gay, but that Blacks hate him.

New H-1B Visa Fees

News:

The Trump administration last Friday announced a new $100,000 annual levy on H-1B visas, which allow 85,000 skilled foreign workers to enter the U.S. each year. The fee applies to companies hiring these workers, primarily in tech.

Veteran venture capitalist Michael Moritz isn’t having it. ...

Moritz argues that Trump fundamentally misunderstands why tech companies hire foreign workers, saying it’s about skills and filling labor shortages, not replacing Americans or cutting costs. The policy will backfire, he warns, by pushing companies to relocate work to Istanbul, Warsaw, or Bangalore instead of keeping it stateside.

“Engineers with undergraduate degrees from the better eastern Europe, Turkish and Indian universities are every bit as well qualified as their American counterparts,” Moritz writes.

If the workers are so valuable, then employers shojld be willing to pay a market rate for them. Eg, the 85k visa could be auctioned off to the highest bidders.

Moritz reveals the weakness of his position, when he says the American and Turkish college grads are equally qualified.

Sore, they are similarly qualified if they have similar degrees. That is because the qualification is the degree. But that does not mean that they are equally valuable as workers. And it certainly does not mean that they are equally desirable as American workers.

American policy should be for the good of Americans. Why import a Turk if it puts an American out of a job when he could do the work just as well?

More Countries Recognize the War

CNN reports:

France is expected to recognize the state of Palestine during a summit later today in an attempt to pile pressure on Israel as it presses on with its campaign in Gaza despite international outrage. Britain, Canada, Australia and Portugal formally recognized Palestine yesterday. ...

At least 50 Palestinians were killed yesterday in Israeli strikes on Gaza and the war has overall killed more than 65,000 people, according to the enclave’s health ministry.

Are they trying to pressure Israel to kill more Palestinian Arabs?

I am not sure of the logic here. A nation is expected to defend its borders, and make decisions about war and peace. If West-Bank-Gaza is a nation, then it is a nation at war, and it has the responsibility to decide whether to keep fighting or surrender.

It seems to me that recognizing Palestine is functionally the same as saying, "Israel, keep bombing Gaza and the West Bank until they surrender."

Gaza is still holding hostages and refusing to surrender.
