Playing Basketball With 8' Hoops Is A Ton Of Fun

Many, many moons ago, just for kicks, three friends and I went and played 2 v 2 basketball at a local grade school where they had 8' nets. One of the guys was the little brother of another so, since I was about 4" taller than the other two, the teams were me and the little brother vs the other two. The little dude would pass it to me and I did one slam dunk after another. The other two guys weren't quite tall enough to dunk like I could, so they had to shoot like normal. It was all good, clean, hilarious fun.

Fast forward to today where the San Jose State Scrofulous Weasels* have a dude on their women's volleyball team because equity or inclusivity or autogynephilia or something. Anyway, the Scrofulous Weasels are seeing a tremendous payoff from having a cross-dressing pervert on their team. Dig this.

The part below the fold reads like this:

WOW. Watch male player Blaire Fleming dominate at last night's San Jose State vs Fresno State game with 20 kills and .410 hitting %. 

Why is his hang time ✈️ on par with the top Big 10 collegiate players like Madisen Skinner @TexasVolleyball and Andi Jackson @HuskerVB!!?? 

Let me quote a former Division 1 volleyball coach @Kevin_D_Jones

"I was a D1 Women's volleyball coach for years after a pretty successful career as a player.  

I've said for a few years now that Women's Vball will be the sport that shines enough light on this issue.

The men's net is 7 & 3/4 inches higher for a reason.

The average 16 year old boys i've coached not only jump 10-20 inches higher than top D1 women, but they're far stronger and hit a ball easily 30 mph+ harder.

A large number of 16 year old boys I've coached would be first team NCAA Women's All Americans as freshman if they put on spandex and a ponytail.

It's not just the danger to girl athletes on the table (they can handle it!).  It's scholarships and the huge amount of work they put in."

While it was a lot of fun for my friends and I to play basketball after school hours on a children's court, I think we would have felt nauseous if we had actually played against the kids at that school for real. The whole idea is just gross.

The Jig Is Up

Dig what Nancy Mace (R-Sanity) is doing in Congress as we're about to have our first autogynephilic pervert in the House. Thanks to Trump leading the way in not being afraid of name calling by the progs any more, she is loud and proud about stamping out this degeneracy. It's a beautiful thing and it shows that the transgender jig is up.

No Apologies, Just Crickets

Matt Walsh, a Catholic who was forbidden to speak at our local, Catholic, diocesan university, USD, summarize what is about to happen to the trans victims.

I'd like to say this is going to be fun to watch the whole thing collapse, but it isn't. It's going to be hideous.

* - I'm pretty sure they're the Scrofulous Weasels. If not, they should be.

Biblical Morality And Migrants

 ... it's all about welcoming the less fortunate and helping the downtrodden, right?

Let's say you threw a party for about 50 people at your house. Let's also say that you're a big shot with the Stasi or maybe the local police or perhaps the Tren de Aragua dudes. You send your goons to three houses in your neighborhood, the Smiths, the Wilsons and the Magilakumbas. The Smiths will be forced to clean your house before and after the party. The Wilsons will be forced to decorate your house and set up the tables and chairs. The Magilakumbas will be forced to buy and prepare the food and drinks.

When the guests arrive, you make sure those other families are hidden out of the way, perhaps in holding cells downtown. You greet your guests with warm smiles and hugs. You make sure pleasant music is playing and pay attention to the shy members of the crowd to see that they are having a good time.

The food is excellent, the decorations tasteful and the house is spotless. Everyone has a great time. After they leave, you have the Smiths dragged out of their cell and, upon threat of imprisonment and beatings, you force them to clean up the place while you go outside and relax in the hot tub.

What a wonderful host you were! What a delightful party! You certainly didn't oversimplify the question of hospitality, did you?

The real pro-life choice is not whether to help migrants or not; it is how we should we helping migrants, rather than ignoring their obvious needs to develop their lives as Paul VI indicates God wills human lives to develop!

Thus, while discussions of policy structures are more necessary than ever, especially in terms of assisting development and stable governance in sending countries, the present crisis should call upon the Christian churches in a special and unique way to demonstrate that manifesting welcome signals a deeper conviction about God’s unique call to every person to find flourishing. When Paul VI starkly states that “the world is sick” (PP §66), he then points toward the only hope: “the dynamism of a world which desires to live more fraternally” that “is, even unawares, taking slow but sure steps toward its Creator” (PP §79). This recovery of the sense of the Creator is at the core of the fight for life. And, as Paul saw so well, it also should be at the core of the fight for the lives of others, especially migrants facing social situations of danger and despair, so that each life might be able to respond to the call given by that same Creator.

How fraternal you were! You opened your house and heart to the less fortunate and helped them flourish!

After your efforts, once the Smiths have been shoved out the door and forced to return to their home, you light a votive candle and look up to heaven and think about how much you love Jesus. You certainly did His work, didn't you? You pray for patience as you know that tomorrow the Magilakumbas will be back to remove the tables and chairs. God must surely know how trying those people are. Why, they even voted for Trump and closing the border!

Aren't you just the bestest? So much better than those filthy, selfish deplorables who refused to open their own homes to the migrants guests!

Yes, the Bible teaches us all about how to show hospitality to the less fortunate. How to open our hearts and homes to them. Giving is loving and loving is doing God's work.

Since you and your fellow highly-educated progressives will almost certainly retire before this bill comes due, you are effectively sending the cops to hassle our children and grandchildren, threatening them with liens and prison time if they don't pay for your love and kindness. What a nice person you are! Truly, you are living out your faith by welcoming the migrants.

As our friends across the pond welcome more and more, err, diverse migrants to their shores, they are effectively selling American real estate since the only rational reaction to an Islamic UK is for the native Brits to get out of there. The chap working for Century 21 in the video below is Nigel Farage, formerly known as a far-right, white-supremacist racist who wanted to reduce immigration. If he's talking submission, then it's time to sell while the land prices in Ol' Blighty are still high.

See? Doing God's work can be profitable, too! Well, if you own property in the red states, that is.

The Trans Community Is Screwed

AOC has taken her pronouns out of her Twitter profile.

The WaPo is now questioning having men compete in women's sports.

Both of those are markers of the tectonic shift occurring on the left.

The trans people transed themselves because the left told them it was natural, it was affirming, it was good, it was normal, it was based on science. That was a one-way door for the trans people. They won't regrow their breasts, their reproductive organs won't recover, their voices won't return to normal and all of the other side effects from ingesting poisonous hormones can't be undone. The only tangible benefit to being transed was the social elevation that came with joining an "oppressed" and "marginalized" group.

Now that the election has clearly shown that the trans madness was just that, madness, the trans community will go from marginalized and exalted to confused and somewhat dangerous. The boys playing girls' sports will be a threat to girls. The men in women's bathrooms will be a threat to women. The whole foundation of support for the hopelessly wrecked trans people is dissolving because it's such a total boat anchor for the left.

No one on the left will ever, ever acknowledge the damage they did. They will all move on to the next act of "compassion."

I'm reduced to four-letter words.

Dumping Ballast

I've been at least partially watching the election post-mortems, particularly on the left. Here are some themes I've seen from the normal ones:

  • The age of the mainstream media is ending. Joe Rogan blew MSNBC out of the water when it came to influence.
  • The age of the celebrity endorsement is ending, if it ever existed. I'm sure they'll still seek them out, but probably just for fun.
  • Racial voting blocs only exist for blacks and even that is beginning to crumble. Something like 25% of young, black men voted for Trump. They were excoriated by Oprah, Obama and God knows who else for even considering das Volk verraten, but it had no effect. At only 55-45 for Kamala, the Hispanics are effectively gone as a reliable bloc for the Democrats.
  • Poisoning and mutilating girls is a total millstone. So are dudes beating up women in sports. The era of transgender affirmation is ending. Trump's most effective ad, the one he ran more than any other, was the one where they talked about Kamala's crazy transgender positions. From internal polling, both campaigns know that ad moved the vote by a couple of percentage points.

Any political party that loses a major election will analyze the situation and dump the positions that cost them a lot of votes. My bet is that they cannot shed the racial madness so that will stay for a couple more election cycles at least. The transgender people are a different matter entirely. There is absolutely no upside to them. They will be dropped like a bad habit.

Now dig this.

One of Trump's superpowers is that he expands the Overton window because he can't help but say anything that comes into his head. Very soon, the victims of the transgender sadomasochists will find themselves with almost no support at all. Big Pharma will ditch them as will all of the large medical groups. Dittos for insurance companies. Yes, they're all making good money keeping the trans victims hooked on their endless need for hormones and doctor visits, but not enough to make standing up against the full might of the Justice Department worthwhile. That product line will be shed with a shrug.

My daughter, who has been on testosterone for 3 years now and whose body is permanently ruined, is thriving because she is surrounded by people who lie to her. It's not just people, it's the institutions that are lying to her, including the medical groups, clinics and professional associations. Almost all of that will come to an end. Her support group will dwindle as the large-scale support structures fall apart.

Now dig this from a detransitioner.

I saw my midwife/OBGYN again recently and I hated it. I’m in pain. It hurts to wipe. It hurts to be intimate. I described my vagina as a guillotine and she suggested I put lidocaine on it. I can rarely get my estrogen cream inside. There are no smaller applicators she could prescribe. She told me to try filling a small tampon with the estrogen cream and applying it that way. Tampons hurt and I can’t. She also tried to prescribe my dilators to break up scar tissue inside from years of severe dryness. I said no. 

I’m only 26. I shouldn’t be in this position. Detrans women who have been fraudulent prescribed testosterone are experiencing menopausal symptoms and painful conditions. There is no real help or relief. There are no ICD codes to bill insurance.

Without the mainstream news media acting as information gatekeepers, stories like that will begin to come out in large numbers. The public rage against what happened to these girls will grow. Any organization that supported these horrors will run for the darkness like the cockroaches they are.

The victims of the sexual degenerates who perpetrated this on us will find themselves almost completely alone and in despair, their bodies ruined by the progressives and their lunatic ideas of social constructs. The Democrat Party and the medical industry will dump them like the useless ballast they are.

Dittos for these kids.

90% of the kids at Frederick Douglass High in Baltimore are chronically absent.

These kids, almost all of whom are black and almost none of whom can read, made a rational decision given what the progressives who run their city told them. Why try if whites are going to oppress them and keep them down no matter what they do?

If black men continue to move rightwards politically, they will be jettisoned, too. Then what happens to them? Like the trans people, they will treated like the useless ballast they will be. That's a bit more of a reach than dumping the trans kids because of the deep-rooted obsession with race that occupies so much of the left's worldview, but it wouldn't be a big surprise to see it start to happen.

Still, political parties exist to win elections and if parts of your coalition are costing more votes than they bring in, it's time to throw them overboard.

Put not your trust in princes, as it were.

When Schadenfreud Is Better Than Compassion

 ... you might need to rethink things.

While researching my blog post series on romance, I came across tons of reaction videos with the theme, "Women Hitting the Wall." This one is a good example.

Snarking and sneering to these women is just evil.

Modern women didn't invent the modern dating scene. They were born into it and the current carried them along. Most people aren't strong enough to swim against the cultural tides. Heck, I've been a rebel blogger for almost 20 years now and if there's one thing this blog has taught me, it's that I have been, and still am, filled with unconscious biases and false assumptions.

It doesn't help anyone to mock these poor girls. These videos all tell a story of women who want to be wives and mothers, something any defender of civilization should embrace, support and encourage. Yes, the angry, lesbian feminists poisoned the culture for men. Yes, a lot of us men have been getting the raw end of the deal.

So what?

Man up and stop complaining. If there's a woman who is so frustrated and unhappy that she posts a video essentially telling you she wishes someone would wife her up, applaud her. Give her tips about how to be successful. 

For example, the data from the various dating apps clearly shows that women only respond to to the top 10-20% of men. Instead of laughing at the 4s, 5s, 6s and 7s who think they can bag a 9 or a 10, paint them an image of their future with a solid guy who doesn't look like a movie star or earn $100K+.

That's what these girls need, a vision of their future with warmth, love, stability and children. Yep, married men still live in the 1950s, expected to protect, provide and cherish. Yep, the angry, lesbian feminists wrecked a large part of the culture. It's tragic.

However, the only way out is through and that means through affection, compassion and empathy. The culture will be changed by changing minds and no prospect ever bought a product because they'd been told they were stupid.

In The Election, The Blue Models Broke Down

Alternate Title: The Republican Supreme Soviet must be better than the Democrat Supreme Soviet, right?

Trump won bigly. One reason he won bigly is that the Republicans 5-year-plan, managed by Elon Musk, was better than the Democrats' 5-year plan.

Another reason is that Republicans subverted peoples' natural, racial loyalties.

Yes, the party nominated an absolute donkey of a candidate, but she was a black, woman donkey and that's all that should have mattered.

The list of explanations from the left goes on and on like this. In reality, the problem was that their models don't work. There is no organized, right-wing, social-network ecosystem. The successful podcasts and channels arose organically. Elon's biggest contribution to the right was not his management of information, but his removal of information management. Joe Rogan is huge because people choose to listen to Joe Rogan.

Similarly, the model of racial solidarity is all wrong. Along the Texas-Mexico border, Hispanic communities voted overwhelming for Trump. They didn't see the illegals as their racial brothers, they saw them as a menace.

Dittos for the trans model. People recognized the poisoning and mutilation of children for what it was, not as some act of affirmation.

The Democrats can recover from this thrashing, but to do so, they'll have to ditch their top-down management models. As I listen to their analyses of what went wrong for them, that's the angle I'm following. So far, there's very, very little push to reexamine their Soviet predilections.

Drawing Lines Of Hate

This is apropos of nothing in the events of the last week, but it occurred to me yesterday, so I thought I'd share it.

The general case for allowing mass migration is that if you do not allow any given family of refugees into your country, you are heartless and probably full of hate.

How could you turn them away?

That's pretty hard to refute. At the San Diego airport, when the invasion was in full swing, almost all of the illegals you saw flying to destinations across the US were single, military-age males, but there were a few families like the one pictured above. You couldn't help but feel compassion for them. Still, can you take all such families?

Where do you draw the line? Taking an estimate at random, during the Biden-Harris years, we had 12,000,000 illegals come across the border. Many of our cities, the sanctuary ones in particular, are now having to cut services to citizens so they can care for the illegals. Some of our smaller towns who were targeted by the administration for total demographic change have been completely overwhelmed.

Meanwhile, the population of Haiti is 11.7M. Honduras' is 10.6M. Venezuela's is 28.8M. Nigeria's is 223.8M. It's a good bet that most or all of those populations would like to come here. Can you take all 275,000,000 of them? No? Where do you draw the line? Pick a number.

No matter what number you choose, there will be a family just like the one above left out in the cold, living in poverty. No matter how many you bring into the country, you can be accused of anti-immigrant hate and racism because that you don't care enough to allow that family into the US.

This is how you get to infinity, by the way. One more. Always one more.

It is the act of drawing the line that is hateful. Any limit at all is racist.

Now imagine that you don't pick a number at all. You say that we must accept anyone if they want to enter the country, yea, even unto 275,000,000 of them.

You only say that because you're full of anti-Muslim hate. Why didn't you include the 23.3M of Syria and the 240.5M of Pakistan? It's because you hate them, don't you? How can you be so cold and heartless?

Why do you hate them?

I have to stop here. It makes me sick to even have to communicate with hate-filled racists like you. You're the reason Trump won.

Trapped Like Rats

 ... DemocRATS that is.

No, I don't like that kind of name-calling, but it worked too well with the title of the post to not use it.

When Biden became too obviously senile to run, the problem of succession wasn't that it was too late for a primary, it's that they had trapped themselves by picking Kamala as the VP. Under the progressive power rankings straightjacket, a black woman cannot be bypassed for any reason at all. Kamala became the nominee because they had no other choice, given their racial and gender obsessions.

Once that happened, they were stuck with an airhead. Like I said in the previous post: 

The analogy I'd use would be watching a high school baseball prospect take batting practice. If the guy takes 50 batting-practice fastballs and grounds them all to the infield, the answer is simple. He's a lousy player. Kamala is like that. She's been served up these questions in friendly environments over and over and over again and doesn't have answers. This is as good as she gets. She's a lousy candidate. She's an airhead.

With that as their talent, there wasn't much they could do other than scream FASCIST and HITLER and TYRANT. That all ended with Joe Rogan.

All you had to do was watch a segment or two of the Trump interview on Rogan's podcast and you could see that Trump wasn't some kind of dictator maniac. 60,000,000+ views later, the central message of Kamala's campaign was flaming wreckage.

That left her with ... what? "I'm going to fix the mess that ... err ... the last guy left?" It didn't help that she couldn't answer anything more complicated than what kind of Doritos she liked unless she had a teleprompter.

With the party locked in to its racist mania and affiliated Marxist oppressor-oppressed model, they were stuck. Trump crushed her even though he was Trump. Had they not trapped themselves with a black woman as VP, they could have found a way to run Gavin Newsom and mopped the floor with Trump.

Oh well. Sucks to be them. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving crowd of racists.

My Hopes

My biggest hope coming out of this thrashing is that it will be the end of the racial insanity on the left. Trump garnered 45% of the Hispanic vote, so the Democrats' dreams of racial purity voting blocs seem to be OBE. It would be great if they ditched those.

Dittos for the climate scam. Here in California, thousands of Joshua trees are being killed so a lefty donor can get rich paving part of the desert with solar panels that won't power much at all. This being the desert where things grow slowly, those Joshua trees aren't irreplaceable, but I won't see their like in my lifetime.

Finally, on a very personal note, I fully expect that the transgender insanity will die now. It will be too late to save my daughter. I thank God that He helped me find the courage to remain honest with her and not lie to her that she was a man, but there are physical problems coming for her after 3 years of testosterone poisoning. Combine that with the national mood souring on transgenderism and you get the recipe for enormous psychological pain for my girl. Ouch.

Meanwhile, the market is rocketing upwards and a vacation home in Alabama is closer than ever. That's all good. I didn't want Trump, but I'm glad he won.

It's been a good day, Cat. A really good day.

Kamala Harris For President

 ... because nothing matters. Here's why.

Progressive policies and philosophies are completely divorced from real world performance. They float along, propelled by the looting of the future. As long as you can still borrow money, you can live in their fantasy world.

As the election draws near, I've taken to listening to Mark Halperin's excellent Two Way channel on YouTube and X. Unbiased and professional, it's expert-level sports talk radio for political junkies. On his morning briefing show, he and his guests have repeatedly wondered why Kamala can't answer simple questions, particularly when the same questions arise over and over and over again. Why hasn't her team coached her on better answers? Why doesn't she have any answers at all? The topics include:

  • Biden's cognitive decline
  • The invasion at the southern border
  • Inflation
  • What she would do different than Biden

She never has a coherent, solid answer for any of them which is why she gets asked the same questions in every single town hall and interview that isn't a complete tongue-bath.

If I took the time to join 2-Way and had a chance to interact with Mark and his cohosts, I'd say the answer is simple. The analogy I'd use would be watching a high school baseball prospect take batting practice. If the guy takes 50 batting-practice fastballs and grounds them all to the infield, the answer is simple. He's a lousy player. Kamala is like that. She's been served up these questions in friendly environments over and over and over again and doesn't have answers. This is as good as she gets. She's a lousy candidate. She's an airhead.

And yet, the Democrats can afford to run a lousy candidate since nothing is riding on the election for them. Nothing real, that is. We as a nation glide along, our path lubricated by borrowed money and a relatively peaceful world whose order was purchased by previous generations. There's no need for real accomplishments or solving real problems.

Gary, Indiana

I don't recall what prompted it, but I searched for black-majority cities in the US. One such is Gary, Indiana. It's about 70% black. The mayor is black as is almost the whole power structure in the city. It has been for some time. Naturally, it's solidly deep blue. Its schools churn out illiterate kids.

The progressives don't have to perform, not in any real sense, not even for their top-ranked demographic, blacks. It's not just that they don't perform, they don't even come close to performing. Reading doesn't require technology or fancy school rooms. As far as education goes, it's as simple as it gets and yet, the progressives aren't getting the job done. Life up to now has shown them that there isn't much of a penalty for failure. It's all covered by borrowed money.

Back To Kamala

So why not run Kamala? Why not run a woman who is clearly a figurehead? Biden's been a figurehead his whole term and that seemed to work out pretty well. Why not import voters from Haiti and similar dumps? It hasn't caused any serious problems yet. The wealthy people in DC are doing fine and they can all preen about how compassionate they are.

Trump For President

To be sure, I'm voting for Trump on Tuesday. It's not a hard choice. I'd have gladly taken DeSantis or Haley over Trump, but here we are. MAGA wanted primal scream therapy so primal scream therapy is what we got. It's not really an election about serious issues, it's simply a referendum on whether or not you hate Trump. No one really knows what Kamala thinks about anything and it doesn't matter. Is Orange Man Bad or is Orange Man Good? That's the crux of the election.

Meanwhile, the black kids in Gary, Indiana can't read. That's OK, right?

Conspiracy Theories Are A Secondary Infection

Presidents Reagan and Clinton never threatened to put journalists in jail. The whole idea of trying to suppress Twitter would have been alien to them. And yet, here we are.

The European Union is calling Elon Musk to order over how he turned social media site X into a haven for disinformation and illegal content.

The EU Commission on Friday formally charged X for failing to respect EU social media law. The platform could face a sweeping multi-million euro fine in a pioneering case under the bloc's new Digital Services Act (DSA), a law to clamp down on toxic and illegal online content and algorithms.

That took about 30 seconds to find through the utterly compromised Google search engine. There's tons and tons of it out there.

Why now?

If things were going well, if our culture was healthy, it would be obvious. All of that "misinformation," whatever it is, wouldn't find much of a purchase in our collective consciousness because the evidence from our lives would contradict it. There have always been conspiracy theorists spouting nonsense, but unless the body politic is weak and sick, they can't do much damage. Conspiracy theorists are a secondary infection.

There is so much data, obvious to all, that tells us we're sick. Marriage rates, fertility rates, the deficit, the debt, drug overdoses, crime, illegal immigrant invasions, racial strife stoked to white hot by our own educational institutions, the mutilation and poisoning of young adults in pursuit of sexual degeneracy, the list goes on and on and on.

Conspiracy theories explain the seemingly unexplainable. How is it possible that we've reached this state of affairs? When some of the conspiracy theories turn out to be true, all the others get a shot of adrenaline.

In Southport, England, three little girls were stabbed to death at a party. Here is the picture the news media ran of the attacker.

His name is Axel Muganwa Rudakubana. As can easily be discerned from his name and his photo, he's Welsh. At least that's what the newsmedia told us. Disinformation was rapidly spread by social media and some bigots were actually jailed for participating in the conspiracy theories.

A Stabbing Attack, Viral Falsehoods and Fears of a Summer of Unrest in the U.K.

A judge allowed the naming of the 17-year-old charged with murder, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed a crackdown on riots fueled by far-right misinformation.

Seeking to quell a surge of misinformation-fueled unrest, a British judge on Thursday took the unusual step of naming the 17-year-old suspect in a stabbing rampage that left three children dead and eight injured in northwestern England early this week.

The suspect, Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, appeared in a Liverpool court to face three counts of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder.

The stabbing spree, at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the town of Southport on Monday, stunned Britain and ignited two days of racially fueled riots, in multiple cities, that were incited by far-right provocateurs.

Now it turns out that the guy, who, these days, looks nothing like the innocent lad in the photo, was, in fact, picking up tips on killing from al Qaeda. Kind of like what the far-right bigots who are now in jail said he was.

A teenager accused of killing three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class for young children in the United Kingdom has been charged with possessing an al Qaeda training manual and ricin poison.

Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, 18, already faces three murder charges, 10 counts of attempted murder and one count of knife possession, authorities said Tuesday. The new charges were filed under the country's Terrorism Act, police said. 

The poison and PDF study, "Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants: The al Qaeda Training Manual," were found during a search of Rudakubana's home, police said. 

There aren't any photos immediately available of him now, but there is this courtroom sketch.

My word, our little stabber certainly has grown up, hasn't he? Also, what happened to his hair? It seems ... different, somehow.

So, to return to the topic of the post, why the crackdown on "disinformation?"

Because, some of it at least, is the truth and we can see it with our own eyes.

You don't need censorship when things are going well.

Real Men Live In The 1950s

 ... once we get married. Yes, I know I'm using the cliche "real men*," but this is my blog and I get to use tropes if I want. So there.

It occurred to me only recently as I was rummaging around in the sex and dating wars on the Internet, trying to understand why AI couldn't write proper Arthurian fiction, that while many women strongly assert that they won't live like a woman from the 1950s, they all want a husband from the 1950s. Protect, provide, cherish is the order of the day, week, month, year, decade, century, millennia ...

My father was drafted into the Army in 1944. As his infantry unit was preparing to leave for France and get cut to pieces in the Battle of the Bulge, he was transferred to West Point. He had always wanted to be an aeronautical engineer, but those plans were put on hold because of the war. He might have returned to those, but then he met my mom. Once the ring was on his finger, he devoted his life wholeheartedly to protect, provide, cherish. His entire life was dedicated to making sure his wife and children had what they needed.

After 32 years in the military, he retired and built a house. After that, he took up painting and turned out to be very talented. 25 years as an artist followed. I have a ton of his paintings and most of them are excellent.

He could never have been a professional artist because it was not his best route to protect, provide and cherish. The military gave him a career path that did what his family needed done from medical care for yours truly as I struggled with various childhood health issues to parochial schooling for all 4 of us kids to making sure mom was provided for throughout her life even after he died.

My dad's dreams didn't matter compared to his responsibilities as a husband and a father. He owned a boat for a while, but that was about the sum total of his self-indulgence.

I've tried to live my life the same way. We've given our kids Catholic schooling, helped them buy their first houses, I've made sure wife kitteh got the remodel and the cars she wanted and we've even bought a condo in Chicago for her best friend who was facing severe housing insecurity. My own dreams of having a vacation home on the Fish River in Alabama are still remote. I couldn't live any other way. The ring went on my finger and from there on out, it was protect, provide, cherish.

I've had all manner of opportunities and career dreams that I never pursued because it would have been bad for my family. It's no big deal, really. I chose family over being a gentleman adventurer and I would do it again without a second thought.

Women face that same choice when the ring goes on the finger, but modern women influenced by feminism shriek about the choices they face, demanding those choices be taken away and replaced with a buffet where they get it all. They want the career, husband, kids, vacations, etc. They don't want to have to choose between them. That's the essence of what I've gleaned from scouring the romance wars on the Internet.

Youngest son kitteh got married last Saturday. I know for certain that now that the ring is on his finger, he will live to protect, provide and cherish. Real men do that.

Real men live in the 1950s. We always have.


* - Yes, I've heard of the No True Scotsman Fallacy. No need to bring it up in the comments.

Happy With Lies

Youngest son kitteh got married to an awesome young lady over the weekend. A good time was had by all.

At the wedding, I got to see my daughter, the one who thinks she's a man. I only see her about twice a year, whenever the urge to get together strikes her. Such is life with a trans adult child. Since I won't call her by her fake name or tell her she's a man, I'm almost completely cut out of her life. That's fine with me. Frankly, I'm over this whole extortion racket from her.

She's been on testosterone now for 3 years. Wife kitteh felt certain that she's had top surgery, which means a double, radical mastectomy. It wouldn't surprise me. The last couple of times we met, she's been pushing me to endorse her desires to have her breasts amputated and had put off that catastrophic step only because I denied her my approval. It's hideous, sadistic and barbaric.

At any rate, she's now as masculine as she's going to get and it turns out that's not much. Her voice sounds like that of a junior high friend of mine, she's 5' 4" tall, her mannerisms are still those of a girl and her speech patterns haven't changed since she was in high school, wearing her hair long and looking like a relatively cute, if tomboyish girl.

She wouldn't pass for a man now if all you saw of her was a brief glimpse of a shadowy figure skulking around in the undergrowth.

She was with her girlfriend who easily had 4" on her. That's not going to last.

The whole thing is lies. All of it. The rest of the family talked about how happy she seems, but to me, it was like watching her gayly paddle a canoe right towards a massive waterfall. This is all going to blow up and sooner rather than later. Given how she's poisoned her body with testosterone for 3 years, full-blown menopause can't be far away. Her voice is permanently ruined as are her reproductive organs. Her organs and central nervous system are taking a sound thrashing as well, but we don't have enough data on these particular Mengeleish experiments yet to know just how those are going to crash.

I guess I could go along with the charade, call her by her fake, man's name and tell her she's a man, but I just don't have it in me to lie to her like that.

As long as everyone around her is lying to her, she's happy? That's not sustainable.

Message Received

Tucker's gone off the rails a couple of times since he left Fox, but on this topic, he is spot on.

We're told over and over by our academic, political, entertainment and news pundits that diversity makes us stronger, immigrants make us stronger. Here's the real message they're sending.

Americans are such a sorry, worthless, disgusting lot that importing 500K+ Haitians and lots of Venezuelan gang members actually improves the place.

Message received.

If An 8-year-old Girl Can Pose You A Problem You Cannot Solve

 ... then you might want to rethink your basic assumptions.

Dig this pitch-perfect emperor-has-no-clothes moment:

The dad's outrage is all well and good, but to me, the telling thing is that the educated, credentialed people on the school board can't think of a response to the girl saying she doesn't want boys to come into her bathroom and watch her.

On this blog, I like to wave my arms and yell about logical contradictions and so forth. This is a perfect example of what happens when you have them as a basis for your ideology.

Little Girl: I don't want Jimmy to come into my bathroom.

School Board Member: It's OK, Jimmy is a girl.

Little Girl: No he's not, he has a pee-pee.

School Board Member: That doesn't make him a girl. Girls are something different.

Little Girl: What is a girl then?

School Board Member: (Same confused silence you get when you ask these people to define the word, 'woman.')

It just doesn't work. Not at all. If an 8-year-old is running logical rings around you, it might be time to burn your diploma and get a new one from a different institution.

A Deal For American Women

 ... from the Clintons.

Dig this.

The Deal

American women should focus on education and careers and not marriage and family. They should enjoy sex with the same abandon as men, but not spend any energy directing their relationships towards rings, altars and cribs. If they get pregnant, there should be publicly funded abortions up until the point of birth and if there's a bit of an oopsie by the medico at the end, a wee bit after the point of birth is just fine as well.

In exchange for this, to replace the children American women will not be having, we will import totally unvetted, untraceable, unvaccinated, illiterate and verbally-incomprehensible people from every failed nation on the planet so that we can continue to have, for a short period of time at least, all the benefits of a functioning, self-sustaining culture. This will also allow us to live in a soothing fantasy where we pretend our culture is actually healthy enough to create a new generation of Americans.

In short, the Haitians and their pals are being brought in to replace the babies we're killing or not even creating in the first place. It's a win-win.

In addition to providing American career women with delicious, International cuisine, the migrants can also teach us sustainable ways of reducing our waste products and converting them into energy sources.

Pounds Of Flesh

 Dig this.

A massive influx in non-English speaking students in Pennsylvania is overwhelming school districts across the state, and the logistical strain on administrators could be leaving other students behind.

The number of English Language Learners (ELL) in school districts in Pennsylvania has surged nearly 40% since 2021, forcing public schools to shell out more cash to try and meet the needs of these students, according to documents obtained via records requests and open-source information reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The surge for many schools began in the 2021-2022 academic school year, coinciding with the onset of the Biden-Harris administration and the subsequent border crisis...

Across the state, there were a total of 71,766 ELL students — those requiring specialized education in learning English as a second language — during the 2020-2021 school year, according to data published by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. This number jumped to 99,889 in the 2023-2024 school year, marking a nearly 40% rise in just three years.

The numbers only tell part of the story. It's not just that there are nearly 100,000 ELL students, it's that they speak dozens of different languages. It's one thing to have 100,000 Spanish-speaking kids you have to teach English, it's an utterly unsolvable problem to have some speaking Spanish, some Creole French, some Arabic ...

Where are you going to get the teachers for those kids? There is no training pipeline in existence that is prepared to handle an influx like that and the example is only for Pennsylvania. The same thing is happening all over the country.

The Democrats opened the floodgates so they could import voters. Once the illegals got in, there would be no appetite for deportations on the scale required to get rid of them all. In time, they will be legalized and, so the thinking goes, the Democrats will never lose another election. At no point in time did they think any of this through. The schools are being overwhelmed, drowning in illegals' kids they cannot teach, cannot understand and cannot house.

It was never about the people, it was always about the numbers.

That doesn't begin to consider the amount of sex trafficking of children that must have happened with more than 320,000 unaccompanied minors coming across the border.

It's all OK, though. They got their voters into the country. That's all that matters. #compassion

The Fundamental Question About The Great Replacement

 ... is this one: Who is allowed a homeland?

A secondary question is this: What happens when you are inclusive, but your "migrants" are not? Dig this.

If the "migrants" attack a police car which flees, how much inclusion is that? It seems that the cops are being inclusive, but the "migrants" are not. To me, that looks like a skirmish on the front and the Frenchies lost.

Meanwhile, let's return to the Irish and, for the lack of a better example, the Congolese. Are the Irish allowed a homeland? Congo's population is 20x theirs. It wouldn't take much for the Congolese to enter Ireland and gain a voting majority. Are the Congolese allowed a homeland? I don't think it's much of a reach to assert firmly that no one would suggest that the Congo should be run by someone other than the Congolese, no matter what the results might be.

I know this is raising some very uncomfortable topics and perhaps crossing lines, but as I watch England turn Muslim and see high-profile Brits first flee London and then some of them flee the country completely, these questions occur to me. They are questions we all need to answer here in the US. The Democrats have closed the border, temporarily, for electoral purposes, so when I go to the airport here in San Diego these days, I'm not surrounded by "migrants," but that still happened.

Are Americans allowed a homeland? What is an American?

As you ponder that, dig this:

Making The Case For Western Colonialism

 ... is what the progressives are actually doing.

From what I understand, America is systemically racist, run by whites and their allied racial sellouts like the Asians and Jews. Apparently the whites and their quisling buddies are so good at running the country that it's an act of charity to take people of color from other nations and bring them here. The "migrants" leave a trash heap run by people of color and come to the Land of Opportunity which is run by whites and their stooges.

Sadly, we can only save a small percentage of people of color. For example, Haiti has a population of 11,500,000. We've imported roughly 700,000 Haitians. That's barely 6% of them. Sad!

What if there was a way we could help 100% of the Haitians?

How about if we bring in 10-20,000 Americans (read: whites and their racial pawns) and put them in charge of Haiti? That way, the noble Haitians could stay in the land of their ancestors and still reap the benefits of being ruled over by white supremacists who, for some reason, seem to be able to run things much more efficiently and peacefully.

At the same time, the Irish could run Rwanda, the British run Nigeria, the Italians run Ethiopia, hopefully with less gassing of the natives this time, and so on and so forth. Even the French, as silly as they are, could be given a nation filled with people of color to manage. Algeria, perhaps.

Ooh, too soon with that one?

Anywho, think of all the Global Warming Climate Change we could prevent not running boats filled with ominously intense, young, male migrants back and forth across the water, belching out their polar-bear-killing diesel fumes!

Hey, it's worth a try.

These Rhodesian chappies look like a good sort. Certainly a sight better than the maniacs running Zimbabwe now.

If The Migrants Aren't Interested In Diversity

 ... then you could be well and truly screwed.

Ireland has a population of about 5M. Ethiopia has a population of about 120M. Africans of some origin or another have been arriving in Ireland by the boatload for some time now. The "migrants" are almost exclusively military-age males. Not a lot of big-eyed, photogenic moppets in those boats.

We're told by our academics, news media, politicians and entertainers that diversity will make us stronger and we should embrace it. We'll all be one, big salad of people getting along marvelously. All we need to do is embrace diversity and cultural enrichment.

What if the migrants don't embrace it? What if they don't embrace it and then become, at least local, majorities?

Well, then Ireland won't be Irish in those places, will it? It will be Rwanda or Ethiopia or Nigeria or Pakistan in those places. Kind of like how the Tren de Aragua guys from Venezuela turned certain Colorado apartment complexes pretty Tren de Araguaish.

More pointedly, is it OK if the Irish want to keep Ireland Irish? Given global population ratios, if the Irish want to keep Ireland Irish, they'll need to start racially managing their island and pretty soon at that. Is that OK? Is it OK if the migrants come from Pakistan and decide that embracing diversity means all women have to be covered with black potato sacks?

It seems to me that the fundamental weak spot of the diversity crowd is that they assume the migrants want diversity. If they don't, then it's a colonial power - Ethiopia, Pakistan, Honduras, Haiti, whoever - being allowed to invade without any resistance because our Elites are sanctimonious morons drunk on their own fake virtue.

Diversity may be our strength, but it might be even a greater strength for the migrants.

Do irreconcilable cultural differences exist?

Test Scores Are Misinformation

 Dig this.

CHICAGO (CITC) — The president of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) earlier this month called standardized testing a “junk science rooted in White supremacy."

Stacy Davis Gates said in an Aug. 5 interview with the Chicago-based radio station WVON that the exams originate from the early-20th century eugenics movement, which centered around the belief that segregation and social exclusion would rid society of people thought to be inferior.

“The way in which, you know, we think about learning and think about achievement is really and truly based on testing, which at best is junk science rooted in White supremacy,” she said.

Davis Gates added that standardized testing has been used to further claims that Black students are inferior.

When people talk to me about testing alone, you know, I have to trouble the waters and challenge that because you can’t test Black children with an instrument that was born to prove their inferiority,” she said.

This came on the heels for recent revelations about test scores in Chicago. Here are some stats from the 8th graders in Chicago. You'll need to click on the images to see them properly.

Less than 30% of black 8th graders are proficient in English. About 50% are effectively illiterate.

Less than 10% of black 8th graders are proficient at math. About 75% are innumerate.

Standardized tests are misinformation or racist or somehow deeply unjust is not an assertion that can survive even a few minutes of thought. For example, how is it that Asians, who come to this country with a completely different alphabet, can run rings around us all when it comes to these tests?

I've come to the conclusion that the recent push towards censorship from the Secular Left, where they complain about misinformation, is really just the standard totalitarian play where bad news is covered up with accusations of inaccuracy.

If things were going well, you wouldn't need to accuse people of misinformation. The proof of our Elites' success would be unmistakable in our lives. When they start complaining that the raw data is racist, you know things are going poorly for them.

Things Won't Break Evenly

These kinds of things are happening all over the Western world as we go through spasms of our Elites' self-hatred.

I've been following developments in England and Ireland as well and it's the same thing there. They may not have hurricanes, but they're each experiencing other crises. While their governments prioritize the illegals, the citizens go begging.

Self-hatred is not a sustainable policy, no matter what Angela Merkel wants.

Pope Francis isn't far behind.

“All religions are paths to God. I will use an analogy, they are like different languages that express the divine.”

All religions are paths to God? What in heaven's name is he talking about?

The Pope is telling us that there's no real reason to be Catholic, Merkel was telling her citizens to be ashamed of being German and in England, you're far more likely to face charges if you're waving the Union Jack than if you're waving the flag of Gaza. Here in the US, FEMA has spent the money we gave it on the illegals.


Incoherent, self-destructive principles such as the ones underlying all of this self-hatred cannot be followed forever. Someone is going to break, hard and soon. As Douglas Murray has said, our Elites can be masochists for a while, but eventually they're going to meet a sadist. If I had to put money on who's going to be the first to collapse, I'd either bet on England or one of our big, blue cities.

Things breaking unevenly will be good for the rest of us. Some of us won't be as far gone as the others and will have time and resources to turn things around.

Even if Kamala is elected president, I'd still put my money on America surviving this particular cultural epileptic fit.

A Little Bit On The VP Debate

Long time no blog! That was definitely the longest I've gone without posting here since I started almost 20 years ago. I can't explain it other than to say my biorhythms were low.

IYKYK.

Anyway, I saw clips and breathless tweets about the first part of the debate and then wife kitteh wanted to watch the end of it. I wish I hadn't. It was depressing.

The moderators from ABCBSCNNNPR or whatever network of clones it was were the depressing part, specifically their questions. They ask what interests them and, by proxy, what they think interests most people. They all wanted to know how much more ice cream the government was going to give them for dessert.

There was a health care crisis, a mental health crisis, a day care crisis and a God-knows-what-else crisis. All of it required government programs, policies and money, money, money. None of it was a first-order problem. The debate didn't tell you as much about the candidates as it did about the mindset of the mainstream press. They're women.

They want safety. They want security. They want everyone to be nice. They want to help the sweet, little migrants. They want the weather controlled. They want their babies taken care of while they do as they please. It was all very feminine.

Meanwhile ...

People aren't having babies so the population is getting older fast.

Kids coming into college can't read books.

The interest on the debt now exceeds defense spending and it's only going up from here.

And, of course, the Middle East is in flames while Ukraine, which had the lowest birth rate of the region before the war, has send a good portion of its young men into a hopeless meat grinder at the behest of the women running NATO.

Meanwhile, we heard about the day care crisis. Oh, we also heard from the moderators that there are no studies that show having 15-20M extra illegals in the country is having an effect on rental costs.

That one right there was a stunner. What it told you was that the moderators, and these are hand-picked, top-of-the-line journalismists, were so gullible that they would swallow the line saying 20M in extra demand does not drive up costs while supply is held constant. I don't need to see a "peer-reviewed" study to figure that one out, it's just obvious. These people needed one, though.

What it told me was that they were separated from the primal aspects of life, separated by a gap so wide that they couldn't see across it. The debate was strictly about second-order issues, all of which were solved with more social programs.

That can't go on forever.

You speak for all of us, JD.

One more thing. JD Vance is the only one of the 4 people on the two tickets that I'd be happy to see as president.

Trump. For the love of God, we nominated Trump.

Sigh.

The Antidote To The Gender Wars

I'm listening to two books right now, the first of which is: A World Without Men: An Analysis of an All-Female Economy. It is a polemic against the feminist hatred of men. It's quite good and illustrates how women can't exist without men, disproving the feminist nonsense philosophies.

That one is pretty mean, so this one is the perfect antidote: What in the World?!: A Southern Woman's Guide to Laughing at Life's Unexpected Curveballs and Beautiful Blessings. It's written by a comedienne that I adore and it is full-on Southern.

Leanne Morgan was raised in tiny Adams, TN. Her book is the perfect inoculation to the feminist hatred of men and the reflexive MGTOW hatred of women. It's pure, Southern wisdom and familial love.

Exit note: Why do I want to live in a world without romance or gentleness? I can't stand bitter feminism or the harsh reaction to it. Instead, I love the warmth of the old South.

A Visit To The Local Wrenfaire

In keeping with one of our theme songs, Everybody Eats When They Come To My House, we have lots of bird feeders in our backyard. We brag that we feed half the birds of Tierrasanta.

My particular favorites are the tiny wrens. They appear in a cloud and descend upon the tray feeders to nom. Unlike the sparrows and doves, the wrens happily eat together without fighting. They smash themselves into the feeder, wing-to-wing and chow down merrily. Here's what it looks like.

The flock is growing all the time. These days, the wren cloud must number more than 60.

It's a beautiful thing.

Handing Live Grenades To Toddlers

Dig this desiccated hag going on about imprisoning people who disagree with her.

It's not worth going through all of her particular disinformationisms because they're so painfully obvious, even to the corporate media toadies interviewing her. The power lies not in the ability to put disinformationists in prison, but in the ability to define disinformation. She's so dim that she can't see a world where people like me will have the upper hand and, after a few years more of persecution, be all too willing to use that power on people like her.

External events being what they are, it's not too hard to project a near-future where the progressives are pariahs. Think about the spastic political shift that happened during the Great Depression. One day, the Republicans were riding high, the next, the Democrats had total control that lasted for decades.

The whole idea behind our system of government was to limit the government's power so we could prevent such tyrannies no matter who was in charge. As we discard that, we inch the grenades deeper and deeper into the day care play area.

Yeah, I know, ChatGPT messed up some of the faces, but the image was close enough. Whatever.

The Destruction Is The Plan

 I'm a broken record, but so what?

As the very word implies, "queer" does not name some natural kind or refer to some determinate object; it acquires its meaning from its oppositional relation to the norm. Queer is by definition whatever is at odds with the normal, the legitimate, the dominant. There is nothing in particular to which it necessarily refers. It is an identity without an essence. (Halperin, 1995, p. 62, italics in original) 

I've ranted many times before that there is no plan. The "multinationals" and "globalists" and, God help you if you believe this, "the Jews" are not trying to take over. There is no plan in that we're not going anywhere positive. Instead, the migrant crisis in Springfield, OH is the whole bonbon tè played out on a small stage. The goal isn't anything positive, the goal is the destruction of whatever systems, structures and culture currently exist. Destruction, the dominant progressives believe, will reduce injustice.

The destruction is the plan. Dig this.

No one on Earth thought bringing Haitians into any place in the US was going to make things better. Anyone who thought about it for even a few minutes knew 20,000 Haitians dumped into a town of 58,000 was going to be a catastrophe.

The catastrophe was the plan.

Sarah Hoyt has a good recent post on this.

Race means nothing. Culture means everything. And Haitian culture is horrible, coming from horrible circumstances and a horrible history. In fact, things have been bad for so long in Haiti that even attempts at turning it around are impossible. And would probably fail. The island has been a wreck and a charity case so long that there is no memory of a productive existence, anymore. (No, it’s not race. The Dominican Republic has the same racial composition and is not the same mess.)

Haitians are as close, at this point, to feral humans, as it’s possible to get. Worse, they’re referalized humans. Humans once civilized who have been forced by extreme circumstances, to shed their civilization. Which is much worse than being “just” savage or feral.

She adds this tidbit re: the shrieking about accusations that Haitians, who eat dirt in addition to dogs and cats back in their paradise home, are eating Americans' pets. It might just turn out to be prescient.
