I’m one of you (ignored). If you haven’t seen it yet, there's a video of a French Parisian liberal woman pleading with “Protesters” that she's one of them; she voted to help them, voted to give them shelter and funding. As they loot and destroy her shop. Push her out of the way and ignore her. The term is “Suicidal empathy!” It’s on the corner of your own hometown. It’s the senior holding a “No Kings” sign next to the blue-haired girl holding a “Stop Ice” sign. You don’t have to listen to them for very long to understand they are clueless, useful idiots. That blue-haired girl was indoctrinated in grade school to believe old white Americans have been stealing her future; at the same time, the liberal school staff was telling her that being a boy or one of the 60 alt genders made her special and unique. And that old white man standing right next to her- he’s getting paid $150 to stand there with that no-kings sign and just keep his mouth shut. I gotta wonder how they are gonna act when their neighborhoods get 20,000 Islamic men dumped into the town square in the middle of the night? How will they react when those men start burning homes and businesses, looting, raping, and killing as they go? There's something here that the leftist useful idiots don’t quite understand. They were indoctrinated into the utopian cult of the left; they promise you prosperity, unity, equality, but then they bring in people who don’t even care about humanity, 3rd world savages who aren’t capable of civility, because they grew up in savage central. They were formed and reformed into barbarism in places in the world where every person is out for themselves. I’m gonna share the picture of the leftist Parisian woman. This is the moment it dawns on her, the moment she realizes she's made a terrible mistake. This is the moment when she understands that all her pleading and trying to reason with these savages fall on deaf ears. That sudden realization: you invited misery and death to a civil society, and you are now on the menu.

America has a gun With (very few) apologies to Brian Bilston England is CCTV. France, a cop with lock and key. Greece, once free, now bends the knee. But, America has a gun. Sweden jails the ones who fight. Germany fines bad words at night. Spain forbids the wrong to write. But, America has a gun. Holland fines what words you say. Canada takes your knives away. Australia says, "you must Obey." While America has a gun. Japan will bow and not resist. Scotland bans what they won’t miss. Freedom bleeds, but still exists Because America has a gun. Better risk the fatal cost Than find that liberty was lost. The price is high, The fight, embossed Because America has a gun.

Jetson’s redux Flying cars, robots, interstellar spaceships, and superintelligent computers are the science fiction we were told would happen in my lifetime when I was 10 years old (1975). The Jetsons, Star Trek, Space: 1999, Battlestar Galactica- a plethora of hope, a steady stream of human accomplishment, survival, and taking on the challenges ahead. And what was delivered? The idiot box TV, cell phones, and home computers. Instead of promoting challenges and excelling, we ended up with Dancing with the Stars, TikTok, and Facebook Reels, idiots doing idiotic things trying to get clicks from other idiots. A generation of people who eat Tide Pods and raw cinnamon on a dare. This isn’t what we were promised. And then Elon Musk @elonmusk parked his Tesla on the front lawn of the White House and said: “Hold my beer!” robots might not just work as domestic housekeepers; they may also be hospital staff, surgeons, firefighters, EMTs, and astronauts. Imagine Tesla ambulances and fire engines, with Optimus robots as the EMTs and firefighters. Specialized Optimus drones that can scale walls and cliffs and endure hazardous environments, fire, and chemicals. Equipped with protective, life-saving gear to pack humans out of, or even through, those lethal environments. Optimus heavy search-and-rescue drone teams? Autonomous, AI-powered, programmed to search, find, and rescue humans in hazardous environments. Full-spectrum tracking, heat-sensing, telescopic view array, and audio sensing that can hear a person breathing at 300 yards. A drone capable of airlifting a human 25 miles in 8 minutes. A beacon system to pinpoint the location of multiple victims/rescuees for mass airlifts. This is Ironman-level shit. Yesterday I had to stop, rewind, and ask, “Is this real?” A Tesla Roadster, a rolling liftoff, flying over a Tesla Semi, flip roll, and landing? A Roadster defying gravity, flipping and rolling safely to a landing. And then it dawned on me. Elon Musk is delivering the future we were promised 50 years ago, but were denied by people who wanted cash cows instead of progress and prosperity. Elon is delivering the Jetons, flying cars, space travel, robots, superintelligence, and more. No, he isn’t doing it alone; he isn't the head scientist or researcher on every project, but he's the catalyst that put those people in places they belong. The big cog in a working machine.

Pikes and Spears on Utopian walls The sales pitch is the same when selling Utopia. Freedom, wealth, prosperity, leisure, unity, tolerance, and equality for all. China's been at it for 77 years, and China has slavery, poverty, inequality, division, state-sponsored executions, and mass arrests. They have armed guards carrying AKs on their Utopian walls. Russian communism started in 1917 and collapsed under its own weight in 1991; after 74 years of soldiers guarding their utopian walls and watching the decline, understanding came with a whisper. “This isn’t Utopia!” Over those 74 years, Russia and its satellites fell behind the rest of the world in every metric: GDP declined into a bad joke; unity was forced, and poverty and equality became the same word for the masses. Freedom was whispered cautiously, and soldiers guarded utopian walls, watching diligently for enemies on both sides. Utopia is an imagined community, society, or place with highly desirable, harmonious, or near-perfect qualities for its residents—especially in its laws, government, social conditions, and economy. Why would utopia need armed guards to keep people out and residents in?

Fixxer When I was 14-15, I had a friend who had a bully. The bully was a jock and pretty athletic. A wrestler and boxer, he was also a sick sadist. He outweighed my friend by almost 50 pounds. On 3 occasions, that bully caught my friend and beat him pretty severely. He would just sit on the spit rail fence with his friends at the front of the school and wait until my friend came out, then they would follow him across the road into an overgrown field, chase him down, and beat the hell out of him. The cops wouldn’t do anything because this bully's dad worked in the courthouse. So my buddy was on his own. My friend dropped off the face of the planet after school for over a week. He didn’t show up at the arcade, and he wasn’t in any of his usual haunts. He had also escaped the bully by taking an alternate route that rotated daily. The bully nd his accomplices started breaking into singles, trying to catch him leaving the school. But they failed every time. In October 1979, my buddy walked out the front door of the school, right past the bully, who was sitting all alone on the fence, then broke into a run. Extremely overconfident, the bully waited until my friend was across the street before he really gave chase. (Track star with a wall of trophies). And everything was looking bad for my friend until the bully hit the first trench my friend had dug and hidden. Then he crashed “Hard”, but he got up madder than he ever looked before, and he took off chasing my friend. Until he hit the rope. The rope was strung between 2 T-post, very well camouflaged with field grass and mud, about 10 inches off the ground. And he went flying into another spectacular crash landing just 20 feet from my friend's front yard. When he recovered again, he screamed that he was gonna beat my friend to death as he ran into the yard, right into the garage, and got a square shot right in his face with an 8-foot spade. He woke up from that KO while the EMTs were assessing his facial damage: broken nose, both front teeth knocked out. Pretty bad laceration from one of the falls. And my buddy's Dad was telling the cops he wanted to press charges for breaking and entering, trespassing, and whatever else he could file against this lunatic. Told them he heard this kid screaming that he was gonna beat my son to death, just before my son stepped out and hit him with a shovel. He continued that he had already paid for 3 ER visits because the cops wouldn’t do anything about this kid beating his son up whenever he could catch him. This story has a happy ending. My friend now had a reputation nobody would dare challenge. No one ever laid a hand on him after that day. The father of the bully called my friend's dad, apologized, and demanded the ER bills so he could try to make things somewhat right. The bully walked around school with his nose taped and splinted, two black eyes, and missing, temp-capped teeth for a week before a dentist could put in his replacement crowns. His cockyness apparently cured. Just a side note to this story. It was rumored and passed around for years that my friend's dad was a Vietnam tunnel rat. (ferret). We all knew he had the Vietnam tattoos and wore a combat vet cap. He didn’t talk about anything from the war, almost like it never happened. My friend told us one night, sitting in our secret “Fort,” that his dad never talked about the war, but he had an ugly, well-used M1911 and M1917, and he was deadly with any knife. He joked that his dad could carve a pumpkin with a throwing knife at 30 feet, without any mistakes. And his military awards letters and commendations were stacked in a closet; the stack was almost 2 feet tall. I know my buddy set up the pit and the rope; I know he waited around the corner of the garage door to strike with the shovel. But to this day, I think his dad planned the entire ambush. I can't imagine a 15-year-old having the guile and planning strategy to set the bully up. Because it worked out so perfectly, and just like his military service, he stepped out of the shadows, just long enough to fix a problem, then faded right back into those shadows, without a want of recognition.

Connecting dots. France is under siege; GB is next. Dots. What do France and GB have in common? 1. Leadership openly welcoming Islamic invaders? 2. Leadership neglecting their own native populations? 3. Leaders openly ignoring the Islamic threat? And does Islam want this? JD Vance said it weeks ago. The biggest threat is a European state with nuclear weapons falling to Islam. Isn't it interesting that the two Western European states that control their own nuclear arsenals are also the two states Islam is expending large amounts of energy invading? @GROK, how many European states have nuclear weapons that the state controls? Also, what is the estimated total count of nuclear weapons under the control of these 2 nations?

Saudi Arabia reopened their pipeline, and crude prices fell. We have less than 2 months until the midterms. A full-scale investigation is in process right now to find out why gas and diesel are being priced so high while crude doesn't reflect that price increase. The major refineries are under intense scrutiny, and we already know the "Crack spread" profit margin is ludicrously inflated far beyond any other time in history. A crack spread is the price difference between a barrel of crude oil and the petroleum products refined from it, representing a refinery's gross profit margin.---Applicable Federal Laws and Regulations: Multiple regulatory bodies enforce laws against manipulation in energy and derivatives markets. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC): Under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and Section 753 of the Dodd-Frank Act, it is illegal to use any manipulative or deceptive device to distort the price of commodity futures or swaps. The CFTC can penalize traders for "reckless" behavior that distorts prices, even if they cannot prove the trader explicitly intended to create an artificial price. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC): Enforcing the Petroleum Market Manipulation Rule (16 CFR Part 317), the FTC outlaws fraud, deceit, or the intentional omission of material facts in wholesale petroleum markets. Violations can result in massive civil penalties of up to $1 million per day per violation. Antitrust Laws: If multiple refining companies or executives collude to restrict refining capacity or fix prices to artificially widen crack spreads, the Department of Justice (DOJ) can prosecute them criminally or civilly for violating antitrust and anti-collusion laws.------Every watchdog agency is already pointing out the gouging; all the DOJ has to do is start prosecutions. The evidence is so blatant that even Stevie Wonder could see it.

Forget about Gas. I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I'll blow your government system into collapse. Before $6 diesel, before $18 ribeye, before $1800 rent on a 2-br apartment, even before Biden shutting down oil leases and active wells, there was the agenda. “Green New Deal” Nuclear is bad, petroleum is bad, Natural gas is bad--- buy solar, wind, waves, EVs, blah, blah, “We are gonna save the planet!” “We are the arbiters of radical (Unproven) change, and we will force this upon you even as you kick and scream!” Yep, that agenda. Ask them about climate change/global warming now. They will deflect the conversation and tell you oil is expensive because of the Iran war. But oil isn’t expensive; in fact, global crude prices are actually lower now than they were for the 5 previous presidential administrations when you adjust for currency devaluation. And lower right now than they were in number than during the Obama and Biden administrations. But that's not the point. Forget about crude oil, diesel, and the price of gas. Compare political policies. Trump isn’t demanding citizens bow down to the almighty government. He isn’t trying to force you out of your full-size truck and force you into an EV. He isn’t demanding you replace your natural gas furnace and stove with electric. Nope, he’s working with our own oil industries and using diplomacy to forge alliances and trade deals with the Western Hemisphere to secure energy and trade, to lower what you pay at the pump and the grocery store. If you know anything about supply and demand, you know that the more customers in the market trying to purchase a product, the higher the price that product becomes. When a product's inventory doesn't fill the needs of the consumer, it’s called “scarcity”. 30+ million illegals flooded into our country. And US citizens were forced to compete for products in the US market, against a massive influx of illegals who were gifted “Our” tax money. Sit and think about that for a moment before you read on.. You were pitted against illegals, refugees, H-1Bs, dreamers, green card holders, both legal and overstays, and nobody in our government cared to do shit about it. Democrats actually took the gold standard in screwing us over by using USAID and NGOs to pilfer trillions in wealth out of our treasury and into the hands of fraudsters who gave tons of that money back in the form of helping get those Democrats reelected so they could keep ripping us off. Ya know, that should be enough to piss off every single US citizen, more than enough to vote against these scumbags. But there’s so much more to absolutely hate these people for. The LGBT/transgender psyop, mutilating children they gaslight with gender confusion, COVID lockdowns, forcing vaccinations, race wars, cancel culture, 4th and 5th wave feminist insanity, Islamification, TDS gaslighting, violent radicalized youth and minorities, defunding law enforcement, defunding our military, while throwing funding at every enemy the US has. And there’s still much more. The destabilization of the family unit, siding with our enemies like Hamas and the IRGC, Free Palestine, radical leftist judges blocking investigations and deportations of violent drug cartel members, thousands of protesters demanding the democrats be allowed to continue stealing your wealth, ANTIFA beating up old ladies and old US combat vets, and liberal enclave judges slapping them on the wrist. The trials of Derrek Chuavin, Kyle Rittenhouse, Trump's 2 impeachments, and the kangaroo courts who presided over those impeachments, the massive list of American citizens who have been brutalized, raped, and slaughtered by third-world savages, the democrats gleefully brought into this country. Using American voters' records to launder millions in foreign dark money as campaign contributions through ActBlue, calling conservatives Nazis, racists, white supremacists, fascists, and every other slur while SLPC was funding the racist attacks to use as evidence of how bad racism and hate are in America. They know hatred exists in America; they have the receipts to prove they funded it. Gas prices? Really? Is that the issue you're gonna throw your vote behind? Maybe you're gonna choose idiotic and suicidal apathy and just sit home?

This is crazy when you put this in simple terms. I keep hearing people complain that gasoline is over $4.00 a gallon. And yes, I'd love to see it at $2.00 again. But before we declare gasoline the most outrageously expensive liquid on Earth, let's put things in perspective. For $4.00, I get a GALLON of gasoline. I pour it into a 4,000-pound machine, turn a key, and that gallon will haul me, my wife, the groceries, the golf clubs and half the junk in my trunk almost 30 miles down the highway. That's actually a pretty impressive day's work for $4.00. Now let's compare. A restaurant sells me a 5-ounce glass of wine for $9. That's about $230 a gallon. And how far does it transport me? Usually from the dinner table to the men's room. A fancy coffee shop can charge $6 for a 16-ounce latte. That's $48 a gallon. It doesn't transport me 30 miles. It transports me from "Leave me alone" to "Okay, now you may speak." Bottled water at a convenience store might be $2.50 for 20 ounces. That's $16 a gallon, for something that occasionally falls out of the sky FOR FREE. A 12-ounce energy drink at $3.50 works out to more than $37 a gallon. Apparently caffeine becomes a precious mineral once you put lightning bolts on the can. Buy one of those little 2-ounce bottles of "energy shot" for $3. That's $192 a gallon. At that price, it shouldn't give me energy. It should mow my lawn. Maple syrup at $8 for a 12-ounce bottle? About $85 a gallon. And its principal technological achievement is making pancakes sticky. Vanilla extract at $6 for two ounces? That's $384 a gallon. For $384, I expect the vanilla bean to come to my house and bake the cookies. Printer ink can cost thousands of dollars per gallon. And unlike gasoline, it sometimes refuses to come out because the printer has decided cyan is low. Even that $9 glass of wine deserves another look. At roughly $230 a gallon, filling a typical 15-gallon gas tank with restaurant wine would cost about $3,450. Of course, after drinking 15 gallons of wine, transportation would no longer be your biggest concern. So yes, $4.00 gasoline is expensive. But it's also a remarkable bargain when you think about what you're buying. You're purchasing enough concentrated energy to push several thousand pounds of steel, glass, groceries and humanity nearly 30 miles. Meanwhile, we'll cheerfully pay $6 for coffee, $9 for wine and $3 for water, then stand at the gas pump staring at the numbers like we're watching the national debt clock. Maybe gasoline doesn't need better pricing. Maybe it just needs a fancier name. "Handcrafted Premium Petroleum, locally pumped, small-batch refined, with subtle notes of octane and dinosaur." Put it in a 12-ounce artisan bottle and charge $14. We'll line up around the block.

My rights I was just engaged in a conversation about the Lindsey Clancy case, and it rocked me into understanding the horrible truth. The feminist movement shifted much like every communistic takeover. Starting with small, incremental clipping away under the guise of rights and freedoms. If you go back to the 1920s until the 50s, and look at the origins of the first-wave feminist ideology, it was fairly sane. The right to vote (suffrage), Coverture Laws, Education, Employment, and Property Ownership. In all, these made logical sense in a world where equality and freedom were a sane goal. By the onset of the second wave, new ideas were forming and evolving in the feminist sphere. The wage gap, Job segregation, Financial independence, Educational access, The Equal Rights Amendment, Access to birth control, during this time there was also racial outcries from minority groups of feminist orginizations rallied in response to mostly white led and controlled caucuses of major feminist organizations because they felt the mostly white orgs were leaving them out of the fray, and even discriminating against minority women who wished to be part of the cause. In the mid-60s, things took a darker turn. Activists made abortion access a central pillar of the movement, culminating in the landmark 1973 Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade. The movement has continued a steady, incremental demand for one more concession after achieving the “one more” concession before it. The 3rd- and 4th-wave issues have become absurd mockeries of science, biology, and human sanity. But I think the most absurd of these issues boils down to a simple idea, an idea so dark and ugly that it requires incising to drain and burn the poison. I read this tonight; it’s just one of a thousand comments I see on the stupid screen every day. -Gwen Harding-Brown · She did own up to what she did. She has never denied it. But there are questions about why doctors put her on so many meds and why the people who should have been her support system didn't do anything to help her or the kids. Also, more men murder their children than women do. The problem is that the men who are writing these articles are politicians who are looking for ways to take away women's rights.- Read it. And read it again. Gwen starts with the admission and knowledge that Clancy killed her children; she knowingly murdered her own kids. Then, Gwen pivots to known bullshit feminist propaganda that was dumped onto social media to convolute the facts in this case. But then Gwen pivots even further and blames everyone around Clancy for not doing “Enough” to stop her. Further and further off track, she does the “But men commit more murders!” folks; there's the big flaw. Second-, third-, and fourth-wave feminism blew right through sane birth control, into elective, on-demand, right up to birth abortions as “My damn rights!”. What was considered murder less than 100 years ago is now a phone call and an appointment to terminate a human life. The last and most stunningly insane comment is: The problem is that the men who are writing these articles are politicians who are looking for ways to take away women's rights.- Think about what she just admitted. Did the fifth wave just crash? Is Gwen actually saying that men are trying to take away the rights of women to murder their children? Did I read that wrong? It’s not a hard stretch to reach. Feminist have been empowered to murder their own unborn children for 40-50 years, and they've done that in numbers that far exceed every other mortality statistic. Over those decades, the termination time limits have just gotten closer and closer to the due date. MA just recently passed legislation on legal “up to birth” abortions. So, as I said at the beginning of this writing, those communistic ideology campaigns just keep moving forward, one increment after another; birth control access isn’t enough, abortion up to 1st-2nd-3rd isn’t enough, and now, now they will go full tilt on killing their kids because they truly believe it’s their right, “as the mother”. It doesn’t stop there! Oh no. The same Gwen who stated that men are obviously trying to take rights away from these insane Demigods and infallible female creatures will then have a new incremental goal. Gwen already told you in her off-kilter comment who the enemy is. In her mind, men are the bane of every woman everywhere. Women like Gwen already decided to support a person who admitted to slaughtering her own children, and found a trove of sympathy for her, while blaming everyone else. The truly sickening part here, Gwen, like Clancy, has never once shown a bit of empathy for those 3 dead children. There are already several Linsey Clancy “copycat” cases around the nation. There are gonna be a lot more; this is only the beginning of the 5th wave. In 60 years, under the guise of “My Rights”. Feminism went from free access to birth control, to free access to abortion, to excusing filicide based on feelings. Based on the incremental nature of other communistic ideologies that use this incremental approach, feminists will claim another “right”. Insanity, especially paranoid psychotics, has a nasty habit of increasing its list of enemies (its victim opportunities). Remember that the leftist rhetoric toward the unborn did a bang-up job of dehumanizing the fetus as just a “clump of cells”. Dehumanize the unborn into an easy package to dispose of without guilt or consequence. Continue that line of reasoning, finding razor-thin excuses as that fetus becomes more and more human and harder to dismiss as a clump of cells. They did this to free themselves of responsibility, creating a narrative where irresponsible actions could be negated with a trip to a doctor. But now there's a big wall called “My body, my choice!” They put that wall up themselves, brick by brick, and now that wall limits their reach. So, they shed their skin. And suddenly the infallible Demigods who are so full of virtue and love adopt severe mental illness as their new campaign for committing atrocities. “My body, my choice!” gives way to “I’m mentally incapable of managing my own emotions!” The logical next step in an illogical 5th wave expansion of insane feminism is to deny responsibility for heinous acts under the guise of mental incompetence. Just as a side note, 3rd and 4th wave feminism saw the rise of gender ideology, shedding biology and science in trade for feelings and emotional outbursts. Feminist acolytes actively pursued a campaign of indoctrinating children into this biological sex rejection idiocy. Embracing every gender ideology as brave and fantastic. Turning an estimated 19% of the current generation of children towards alternative gender orientations. The Nazis went full-scale death camps against their perceived enemies. And once they had working control and virtually no more dissidents to arrest, they shifted to internal loyalty metrics. Anyone in the party who even whispered opposition to the party ideology was identified and purged. This is the power of “group ideology”; opposition to the hive mind is dealt with severely. So when the insane radical feminist ideology throws its collective weight into filicide as “Understandable and supportable,” it won't be long before it moves toward a new victim demographic. It’ll be impossible to ignore; it will make world news headlines. Something like “Woman suffering from severe manic depressive disorder, systematically murders 5 neighborhood boys during a psychotic break!” It will be followed by feminist Demigods wailing about how horrible severe depressive disorders are on CNN, and they will feign empathy for the killer while ignoring the murdered boys. Gwen named the enemy; I’m quite sure she blames Mr. Clancy for what happened while ignoring that Linsey was the killer. In summary: If Gwen and women of that same mindset believe men are the enemy, and believe the goal of sane, rational men is to take their right to murder children away? She's right. It’s the only sane thought she has running through her head. I don’t know a single guy in my entire sphere of this world who would idly stand by and let some insane, deranged lunatic murder people. It’s time to stop this. It’s time to say nope, you aren’t infallible, sane, or godlike; you don’t get to frivolously wave about your mental illness and use it as an excuse to kill. Giving in to these demands in the past is how we got here; denigrating the unborn as disposable garbage created an ideology of psychosis that will take another generation to repair. Ignoring it, acting like these people's whims are rights, will ultimately lead to another horrible chapter in human history.

Here's a test. A parent with severe manic depression kills all 4 of "it's" children. The murders are horrific, damning, and the Parent admits committing the murders openly without any coercion. In the trial, the defense for the parent claims a "Psychotic break" caused the parent to be incapable of being responsible for their acts. You are not told which parent killed the children, but both are accused of the same crime, and only one of them committed that crime. As a juror. Explain if, and why, you would have different standards of justice dependent on the parent being the father or the mother.

The best beast. He’s old now. You see it in his eyes, the white in his muzzle, his slower gait, the way he “picks” his steps on the stairs. The way he stays close to you while he is awake. 1 = 7 in dog years, but dog years must be 7 times more enjoyable. No work you don’t love, no worries or bullshit from management, no taxes, no stupid commute to work, no drama—just pure, clean, honest life. The adage says If you can’t eat it, or f**k it, Piss on it. My buddy Orion, such a beast, built for the roughest wild places: an independent spirit, but a loyal companion. At a year old, he could, and a couple of times did, make standing jumps of 6 feet into our trailered boat while I was working on it or cleaning. He could jump into a truck window without touching the door frame. He could catch anything you could throw: a ball, a frisbee, a sandwich, a treat, or a toy. His muchness was so intense. One afternoon, a neighbor's dog wandered into our yard. I went outside with Orion, not knowing the dog was there. Within half a second, Orion had acquired, identified, and bolted “enroute." Orion caught and passed the neighbor's dog before he cleared the property. He didn’t attack or even nip; he just paced him home. I was terrified because once he got to the neighbor's house, he followed the other dog inside. Then, just as quickly, he came back out and trotted home. The odd thing is that the dog has never once strayed onto our property again. Has never once even headed up the hill towards our house. I would truly love to know what Orion said to that dog, standing in his own house. The neighbor's dog. Panting and shaking, looking at this 90-pound brindle boxer mix with the bright gold-brown eyes, who just ran rings around him for a 1/8th of a mile. Did Orion say, “Nice house! You should learn to stay here!” then turn and trot back home? He’s old now, turning 14 in October. The old dog is a gatekeeper now, barking at guests for the toll of a dog biscuit. A much-loved Icon in a normal life.

The dumbest I recently got to thinking about a question: after every failed attempt at Communist utopias, why do people still believe these ideologies can be implemented and actually work? The sobering truth here is these ideologies aren’t designed to work; they are designed to entrap the dumbest, most naïve, bottom-feeders into the belief they can have and enjoy everything they never earned. The entire trick of communist propaganda is to convince the sad little peons they will be given everything they are unwilling to work for. They are told the rich, productive, affluent people who have wealth should be forced to spread that wealth around by the authoritarian government they put into power. But it is a huge lie and a misleading sales pitch of insane magnitude. You want to know why the propaganda salesmen go to universities, schools, and target kids and younger adults instead of the working-class older folks? It’s because those kids are gullible and don’t know the full story of communism's history. The propagandists use the same “bright future” sales pitch. “Once we have full control, you soldiers of the Red will be well taken care of for your loyalty!” But it’s just a Bullshit sales pitch, the same one they’ve been using for over 100 years. Once communism controls, the only people being “taken care of” will be the party elite; everyone else gets the scraps and leftovers. You can’t even grow food or build a product without that elite taking their (BIG) cut. They certainly don’t put that in the brochure. Older, more knowledgeable people, who don’t build wealth by screwing over the youth, know better. We know the history of places like Venezuela, Russia, Vietnam, and North Korea. We were educated about the "Killing Fields" and over 20,000 mass grave sites in Cambodia where the Khmer Rouge regime, led by Pol Pot, executed and buried an estimated 1.7 to 2.2 million people between 1975 and 1979. The systematic massacres targeted intellectuals, ethnic minorities, former government officials, and everyday citizens in an attempt to create an agrarian communist utopia. And they are trying it again, right here in the US. Mamdani in NYC spewing the “warmth of collectivism!” Bullshit, as he shakes down the entire state of New York to pay for the free stuff he promised to get elected. You see this tactic being used all across the left's political spectrum: not promises to help create a better environment for business and commerce to grow, not a peep about protecting citizens' rights, but a whirlwind of promises to take from other tax-paying citizens to give freebies to the parasite class. The parasite class has the dumbest, most gullible idiots in society. And if you really dig into how that happened, you discover they were brainwashed and “produced” by the most sophisticated gaslighting campaign in human history. The left has done virtually nothing good for African Americans, ever! They roped them into inner-city ghettos, pandered with welfare, EBT, and social safety net programs. All while deconstructing the traditional family unit, promoting ghetto lifestyle, and promoting free abortions. They used entertainers and music to promote crime, drugs, addiction, and hatred. They preached from the rooftops for 70 years that the democrats wanted to help Black Americans, while blaming every failure on conservatives and white society. At some point, LBJ’s prediction will come true; I believe his “for the next 200 years!” Is gonna fall a bit short. Abuse anyone long enough, and they start understanding that no matter what's said, what’s promised, the only product received is abuse. I think Democrats made a huge mistake embracing Islam. I believe they thought they could use Islam as Pol Pot used students and the youth. Gullible, angst-filled suckers who fell for the propaganda. They were then ginned up and driven to kill off the very people who created what little civil society Cambodia had. And then abandoned like garbage once Pol Pot had no more use for them. Islam isn’t the dumbest; it isn’t a loose handful of children and angry activists. Islam has been around longer than the democrats. And they play this game far better than democrats. Pay attention to what’s happening to the DNC right now; a Muslim has a very high probability of unseating Chuck Schumer. And it’s because the Democratic base in Schumer's district doesn’t believe Chuck is radical enough. Democrats invited the 3rd wave of Islam into the US, thinking they would dispose of them once they were in power. That’s backfiring. It appears that Islam may well bring down the Democrat party, may well shut down their aspirations of reviving communism in the US. Democrats may have spurred the greatest revival in Christianity in the US in over 100 years. And it gets worse for democrats. Every single previous demographic democrats have pandered to is already sick to death of their bullshit: Black and Hispanic Americans are pissed that Democrats did virtually nothing for them for 70 years, but hey rolled out the red carpet and opened the treasury for these 3rd world savages, put them up in 5-star hotels, free food, free medical, everything they could give was given. The LGB community is sick of being lumped in with the T’s and every other mental illness; they are also kind of wary of being thrown off of rooftops by Islamic neighbors. Then you have the fraud! Imagine living in NYC for 50 years, working your ass off to make ends meet, and then seeing an illegal alien driving a $150k BMW and staying home every day, sitting on his balcony drinking tea. Then finding out he’s running a 50-child daycare out of his massive studio apartment, and you’ve never seen a single kid. But your politicians try to defend him from federal fraud charges and deportation? Until ICE shows up and takes him away. I’m predicting that all hell is just about to break loose in the US. And when the dust settles, there won’t be much of a democrat party left.

NATO is in far bigger danger than anyone realizes. And the reason has nothing to do with defense budgets. The real danger is psychological. It’s cultural. Europeans didn’t just free-ride on American security for 80 years. They built an entire identity around the idea that they evolved past the Americans protecting them. That identity is now the single biggest obstacle to Western survival. And the darkest irony is: we helped build it. After World War II, Europe wasn’t just economically shattered. Its culture was in ruins. The cities, the universities, the concert halls, the museums. Rubble. The Marshall Plan rebuilt the economy. But culture wasn’t a priority. Not at first. Then the Iron Curtain dropped. And suddenly culture became a weapon. American diplomats, academics, artists & scholars flooded Western Europe. We funded their universities. Supported their orchestras. Rebuilt their museums. Promoted their intellectual life. Not because European culture needed saving for its own sake. Because Eastern Europeans were struggling for Maslow’s mist basic needs. We needed the view from the other side of that Wall to be intoxicating. So America built Western Europe into a showcase of self-actualization. Art. Philosophy. Cafe culture. Long vacations. Universities where people studied literature instead of surviving. We were manufacturing jealousy. And it worked. The Wall came down. But here’s what no one accounted for. When you give a society self-actualization on someone else’s tab long enough, they forget it was a gift. They start believing it was organically theirs. And when they look at the country that funded it all, a country busy building aircraft carriers and semiconductor fabs and shale fields instead of reaching the Maslow’s pinnacle. An overweight American in a ball cap who can’t tell Monet from Pissarro. Who eats fast food. Who drives a truck. Who builds strip malls instead of piazzas. And to a culture trained in aesthetics but stripped of strategic awareness, that American looks uncivilized. So the arrogance takes root. And once a culture decides another is beneath them, they stop listening. Americans say wars are sometimes necessary: crude. Oil is the backbone of prosperity: unsophisticated. Kids build companies in garages that reshape the planet: crass. Wall Street finances the global economy: vulgar. Europe has no world-class technology sector. No military capable of strong defense. No energy independence. No AI capacity. What Europe has is culture. The culture we paid for at the expense of us reaching Maslow’s pinnacle. For decades that was fine. We funded the museums, protected the sea lanes, and tolerated the sneering because the arrangement worked. Then Europeans stopped keeping the contempt private. They started saying it to our faces. In their media. In their parliaments. At every international forum. “Americans are stupid. Americans are violent. Americans are a threat to democracy.” We could have moved the Louvre to NY. We could have built a Venice here. We could have stolen your best artists, designers, philosophers and more… like your conquering armies did for centuries. Instead we funded them. And all we asked for in return was to let us visit. You don’t have the military to defend your borders. You don’t have the technology to compete. You don’t have the energy to heat your homes without begging dictators. What you have is an 80-year superiority complex FUNDED BY AMERICANS, protected by American soldiers, and built on the false belief that self-actualization is civilization. It isn’t. Civilization is the ability to sustain itself. By that measure, Europe isn’t a civilization at all. It’s a dependency with better wine. That’s not a threat. It’s a weather report. Build a Navy. Or don’t. But stop lecturing the people who made you “better than us” Our “crudeness” our “stunted liberal education” our “ugly strip malls” are because we sacrificed our culture to support yours.
