Academia Embarrasses Itself…Again – look, you were either born with a dick or not. It’s pretty simple. If you have to talk around that, you don’t deserve to teach
Introverted kids have an inner world that is alive and present for them. They engage with the deeper aspects of life.
As an introverted child, I split my time between a small town in Minnesota and my imagination. I was content spending entire afternoons alone, writing books on construction paper and daydreaming.
As a teenager, I had a group of friends I loved, but spending time with them drained me. They didn’t seem to need the same amount of alone time that was critical for me to function. I convinced myself that they were the normal ones and I should try to be more like them.
As time passed, I changed a lot from the shy kid I once was. I’ve written two books: The Secret Lives of Introverts and Sensitive, which was named an Amazon Best Book of the Year.
But one thing about me that hasn’t changed is being an introvert. I still enjoy writing, daydreaming, and spending time by myself. As I explain in my book, this is because whether someone is an introvert or an extrovert is something we’re born with, and it’s mostly decided by our genes. In fact, according to Dr. Marti Olsen Laney, children may start to show signs of introversion as early as four months old.
So, what are introverts like as kids? While each child is unique, many introverted children share these seven traits.
7 Common Characteristics of Introverted Children
1. Introverted kids have a deep and lively inner life.
Their private inner world of thoughts and emotions is very much alive for them. They depend on this inner world and their own ideas to help them make decisions, instead of always looking to others for approval or help. “In their private garden away from the material world they concentrate and puzzle out complex and intricate thoughts and feelings,” writes Dr. Laney.
Because of this inner world, introverted children like playing make-believe and being alone. You’ll often see them alone in their rooms or secluded places, doing things like reading, drawing, or playing on the computer.
However, this deep inner world can sometimes make them feel cut off from other kids. They might be called “weird” for having imaginary friends or for wanting to spend time alone, like sitting by themselves during recess. That’s why it’s important for parents to help introverted kids see that their introversion is actually a strength.
2. They are curious and engage with the deeper aspects of life.
Introverted kids might be quiet, but they are very curious about the world. They often ask big questions about how things work, why things are the way they are, or what something really means. They can surprise adults with their creativity and problem-solving skills, showing wisdom that seems beyond their age. Even when they are young, many introverted kids have the ability to step outside themselves and reflect on their own behavior, which is something not all children can do.
3. They observe first and act later.
Introverted kids often stay on the sidelines in groups or crowds, just like introverted adults do at big parties. They might seem shy about joining in, but it’s not always because they’re scared. Introverts, even grown-ups, like to think things through before they act, especially in social situations. You might see introverted kids open up and be chatty, funny, and playful at home where they feel safe and comfortable.
4. They make decisions based on their own values, not just on what’s popular.
Introverted kids often think and feel deeply, which means they usually make choices based on their own ideas and values, not just because something is popular. They may do things their own way, picking music, clothes, TV shows, and hobbies they truly like, not just what everyone else thinks is cool. This might sometimes make them different from other kids, but it’s also good because it means they’re less likely to blindly follow others. They don’t do things just to fit in with everyone else.
5. It takes time for their real personality to come out.
Just like introverted adults, introverted kids don’t show their real personality immediately. At first, they might be quiet and keep to themselves when meeting someone new. But as they get more comfortable with that person, they start to open up more. They like to have meaningful conversations to understand themselves or others better. They’re interested in getting to know people deeply. They often try to figure out why people do what they do.
I spent most of my life prior to the Internet. I worked in the tech industry so I was able to get on it earlier than most, but that didn’t change my regular life.
I never had to worry about social media either. You could just not Answer the phone, or call someone back. When you broke up, it was over.
I could get to anywhere I wanted with a piece of paper with instructions on it, and a (dime)/quarter to call a home phone since we didn’t have cell phones. All my friends could get there too, and we all got there on time, and at the same time. 
That means I also write in cursive, and can drive stick. The first car I had was so old I had to learn how to double clutch to downshift.
We learned to read the weather by observing the wind, the sun, the title patterns, and observe nature.
I had to look up stuff in an encyclopedia, or find a book using the card catalogue system to write term papers.
So if they drop EMP, I’ll be just fine. As for Gen X, why, Z, millennials, and the rest of the people after boomers, they’re effed.
Brits poorer than Mississippians – yes, they would be the 51st state in poverty if they were part of the US. It’s stuff like this that makes my stomach turn when Europe trashes the USA. They have no idea who they really are other than the likes of the formerly Great Britain. I know this won’t stop the America bashing, but at least there are facts out there
NFL Reporter Crissy Froyd Fired From USA Today After Criticizing Dianna Russini for Mike Vrabel Photos – It’s not like we believe the sideline reporters are there for their football knowledge. Which one of them ever played the sport. They are decorations and submission to the whold equality experiment failure. Give me a guy who had to play the game and can do a better job of explaining why a team is performing or failing. If they just want to show cute girls, pan to the cheerleaders. We’ll be happy to look at them. Get rid of the catty girls and give them a different job.
New Major Study Finds Europeans Got Smarter – This explains Rome 2000 years ago vs Africa today. You have to count the USA as Europeans becuase that is where most of them came from (except the 13% from Africa)
That people were shallow. That people would peak at different times in their lives. For some, the peak was high school.
I learned that I had to try harder to be more successful than those I went to school with. To not stand still at that point in life, but to learn and grow and to unlock my fullest potential. I set my standards to be better than those I went to school with. That came to fruition.
Mostly, I learned to never look back. I closed that chapter in my life, and the best thing about it was leaving. I needed to move on in life and do more.
The real answer is almost everything. From the minute you are born, you live a different life from everyone else.
So the real answer is life. It shapes everyone differently, from the experiences to how we handle them. Even Identical twins have separate lives.
Unless you could do everything at the same time with the same person and have the same response, you are different.
That is comforting to me, because I don’t want what anyone else has. My life is mine.
On a side note, have you ever looked at a group of people together? How is it that we have that many people and not a one of them is the same? Different eyes, nose, ears, chin, size, shape, coloring, and the list goes on.
I could bring God into this conversation, but I know a lot of you have different views, so I’ll just leave it at this. Go ahead and try to find 2 people who are the same, or even close.
Did Ralph Baric at UNC Create SARS-CoV-2? – If he didn’t, he sure as hell had something to do with it because they also created the Moderna version of the jab. I lived near their, it other than basketball, there was a lof of shit associated with that school (and Duke)
MLK Jr said his dream was that people would be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. Here’s an inkling of the content of their character in 2026. It’s just random stuff that came up during the month to document how people act now. There is both good and bad
Twelve NFL teams had a combination of a white QB and white head coach. These 12 teams went 134-70. Eight of the 12 teams advanced to the playoffs. White is not superior to black.

A jury just ordered the perpetrators of this one to pay $3.2 million in damages to the white child they publicly smeared in 2021 in a cooked-up scheme to raise $120k through GoFundMe.
You may remember this race hoax. The mainstream media…
Racist Cops Murder Black People Narrative Turned Inside Out: The Ferguson Effect – “Could get rid of all police shootings of civilians tomorrow, and it would have virtually no effect on the Black Death by homicide rate. Blacks between the ages of 10 and 25 die of gun homicide at 25 times the rate of whites in that age category, and they’re not being killed by the cops. They’re being killed by other blacks, and nobody wants to talk about it.”
Mike Benz reveals the shadowy Obama bigwig who was secretly attached to Epstein…Name of the operator On the Obama team that went between countries and players. This is the secret spy stuff that goes on that they don’t want regular people finding out about. It even calls Clinton just a puppet while he was banging girls on Pedo Island.
Democrats Using Shutdown Threat To Rewrite Immigration Enforcement – It’s their new voter base because the Karen part of the party has taken over. No one other than people getting free stuff would vote for what they stand for. It’s going to ruin the nation. The republicans are letting them get away with it instead of standing up for the right thing and stopping it. Washington is broken….badly. These liberal women have to be stopped.
EU is splintering – The Western fools led by German include Denmark and France, two countries that surrendered to Germany in World War II are demanding that Trump respect their authority. They have none. The USA protected Greenland from Hitler and his Nazi horde. Trump wants to defend it again, this time from Russia and Red China.
An Open Letter to Mark Ruffalo – one of the most outspoken, over pampered and least educated of the bunch. Him, Deniro, Springsteen and Rosie are the leading TDS tards. This guy is also lying a lot. It’s too bad as I like the Avengers, just not in real life
Confessions of a Recovering Liberal White Woman – Worse than Karens, they are mentally ill and are oug to hurt families, the country and ultimately themselves. How do we rid our lives from these creatures.
Europeans and TDS-sufferers in hysterics after Steve Miller’s wife tweets a red, white, and blue Greenland. They are losing their minds, which I find quite entertaining. My wife’s Scandinavian family hates his ass, so this is making me enjoy it even more. They are a bunch of whiners anyway. The Greenlanders say the Americans treat them better.
Trump Pulls US Out Of Notoriously ‘Alarmist’ UN Climate Change Panel – We’ve wasted too much time and money on this hoax. Look what AI did to the Clmate scare as soon as it made more money than grifting for climate handouts and politicians making each others wallets fatter
Temu Radar failed Venezuela – They had the best radar China has, with anti-stealth capability, yet in 3 hours, it was over and they never saw it coming. Bejing better reconsider the World Dominance thing.
Germany’s AfD Calls Covid Response a “Test Run for Something Much Bigger” – great, the assholes still want to rule the world and tell the little people what to do. I wonder if these are the same group that wanted us to eat bugs. It sort of sounds like Germany in the 1930’s. I’ve got news for you, a lot less people are going to put up with it. There will always be sheep, but a lot of people were pissed they had to get jabbed to work.
Why I’m Leaving Harvard… Because they too are retards. They bent the knee to Covid, liberalism and DEI. That turned them into a second rate indoctrination center that overcharges for a name.
Metropolitan State U. of Denver Rejects Standard American English in the Name of ‘Anti-Racism’ – They don’t even realize they are the racists. The rest of us just want to be left alone and treated like humans. So do the students have to ax a question bruh? No wonder the kids are stupid with having this to deal with. Go to a real school that teaches you how to prepare for life.
The War on White Men Is Real—Here’s the Proof – everyone hates number one and tries to take him down. Man up and don’t take this PC crap. Be the real man that made this country great.

War
Why Is Europe Feverishly Preparing For World War III? – Why is it always Europe? Didn’t they learn their lesson in the last century? Trumps going to make them pay for it themselves this time. They have been pissing away their money on socialized programs and not defense, while sucking off the hind teat of the US for protection. Don’t start something you can’t finish.
My wife’s European relatives are all worried about Putin and blame Trump. They need to look in the mirror for why they are in this situation.
Ignoring EV Pollution for Fake Climate Crisis – The amount of fossil fuel it takes to make an EV, not to mention the extra wear and tear on the roads, combined with the disposal of wind turbines and EV batteries makes them less climate friendly than a diesel. It’s about a war on C02 and money laundering. Look at the drop off of EV sales when they take away the government subsidy.
Europe’s Energy Transition Destroyed its Economy – “Germany now has the highest domestic electricity prices in the developed world, while the U.K. has the highest industrial electricity rates, according to a basket of 28 major economies analyzed by the International Energy Agency. Italy isn’t far behind. Average electricity prices for heavy industries in the European Union remain roughly twice those in the U.S. and 50% above China.”
The Embarrassments of Ideology – Rigid ideologies like DEI, climate dogma, and anti-Trump obsession keep collapsing under their own contradictions, leaving their loudest champions looking increasingly absurd. Also Michelle Obama, the country’s biggest “victim” and outside of Eric Holder, one of the biggest racists.
Recognizing that reality could begin a real conversation and serve as the foundation of real and much more meaningful reform, that is, needless to say, very sorely needed.
We are failing the students and they are getting nothing more than a piece of paper for their money, certainly not an education.
Masculinity, in its healthiest form, is a stabilizing force for truth, clarity, responsibility, and protection. It built the West, defended it, and preserved its freedoms. But today, the characteristics that once stabilized society are being recast as threats to it.
It is the liberal women who lead this, because they can’t get their way without demonizing those who are in their path to power. They don’t deserve the power that masculinity earned. They don’t deserve much past the blue hair and nose rings.
Childish behavior. The kicker is she did it with Keith Olberman, one of the biggest loser celebtards. Perhaps only DeNiro, Kimmel or Rosie O’Donnell are worse with TDS.
COP30 is the world’s biggest trade show – Coal, Oil and gas are traded here. Anyone see the hypocrisy? How about the 100,000 trees that were clear cut to make way for the trade show? What about all the private planes bringing in the Climate scammers? As always, it’s about the money. No one is really trying to save the planet from C02.
Direct flights are better. – Quantum Art – recently announced “achieving 10X compression in circuit depth and a 30% reduction in error rates by compiling circuits with its all-to-all connected multi-qubit gates,” it essentially announced non-stop flights.
I’d like to say that I was dedicated to a job goal in school, but I just tried to get good grades, like it or not. I was only interested in either getting into college or getting a job, but there wasn’t any subject that blew wind up my skirt.
I was small and the youngest kid in my class due to the birthday cut off, but I enjoyed PE class because it was a break from studying. It’s tough being the youngest and usually the smallest. Once I caught up to the other kids, I held my own and even kept up with the team athletes at the end.
It was the break from the monotony of class that made me enjoy it.
The valedictorian and salutatorian were in my chemistry class. They ruined the curve for everyone. The kids always messed with their experiments, and they could never figure out why they didn’t get the results that they were supposed to, although their write ups got them the A’s they strove for. Neither went anywhere in life.
The real smartest kid placed 3rd behind these two shrimp girls because he took weightlifting in PE and got a B, his only one ever. I give him credit for sticking his neck out in life. Straight A’s got a lot of people nowhere, but life lessons did.
Which brings me to my greatest learning in school. I had to try harder in everything. I was so young that social things, intuitive to others, were a hard learned lesson for me. It was tenacity over talent in everything. If I’d known that I was an introvert, I could have used my observation skills even more. What I did was just intuition back then.
So while it was the toughest subject for me, life was the class I studied the most. I had to figure everything out without someone to show me how. Like the Bob Seger song, I was working on mysteries without any clues. It was the best lesson I learned.
I wound up playing Tennis for my college, the only sport I made the team on. I was president of my fraternity and dated a cheerleader. None of that really mattered to me then. I expected it after all that I’d been through. I worked hard enough to get the job that opened doors to people and travel, and the success I’d defined for myself.
As it turns out, my 50th reunion was last weekend. I didn’t go because I never related to the other kids, or wanted to. They were just people I learned from, mostly what not to do or how to act.
At high school graduation, I vowed that I’d be more successful by any measurement. A few became actors, pro sports athletes, or a doctors here and there. As I’d come across their stories before I ditched Facebook, the pinnacle of life was high school for them. It was all downhill from there. I was just starting, but the seeds of motivation to succeed were planted and fertilized. I’d met my goal set way back in high school.
Life was the best class. It had nothing to do with the classroom.
I will say that my German teacher was hot and not that much older than me. Why didn’t they throw a high schooler a break like they do now?
Does the Democrats’ Chaos Strategy Work? – It worked on the ignorant of history, Liberal White women, Gen Z and Millinneals, the usual low hanging fruit. They will be the ones who have to live with their decision.

Judge James Boasberg hit with articles of impeachment following ‘Arctic Frost’ probe – NBADJT. It was a witchhunt and lawfare by those trying to stop him from running in 2024. All of the prosecutors who brought charges to Trump are now in legal trouble. Gee, I wonder who paid for all of this. Also, why did Pelosi all of a sudden decide not to run again. She’s making millions in insider trading. That’s hard to give up.

Once hyped as a ‘smartphone that can tow,’ production of the money-losing EV pickup may be shut down for good – Well, no one wanted it and it wasn’t good as a truck or an EV.

Besides, a Hemi with straight pipes is an awesome sound
Encoding Photonic Qubits – it’s a good discussion of how things work in that world. At one point, the world thought the telephone was too complicated, yet now it is ubiquitous. I don’t see it being on anyone’s phone in the near future, but we’ll be using this technology, even if in the background and we don’t know that we are.
Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson warned on Fox News Tuesday that the Democratic Party’s embrace of figures like Zohran Mamdani signals a deeper ideological shift.
Mamdani is a self-avowed socialist who built his campaign around wealth redistribution, expansive government programs, and class-based politics. Appearing on “The Ingraham Angle,” Hanson said modern Democrats led by progressives such as Mamdani and Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez push policies that contradict human nature and repress people.
“Historically, socialists always come in after capitalists have made prosperity, and then they offer and improve prosperity,” Hanson told Laura Ingraham. “And it’s contrary to human nature. People like initiative. They like pride in their property. Some people like to work a lot and get compensated.”
Hanson said that when the state controls innovation and productivity, it inevitably crushes dissent and freedom.
WATCH:
“It gives you that freedom of opportunity. And then the society at large benefits, Laura, from all these millions of agendas and ideas that improve, that people are free to innovate and to take experiments and risk. But when the state monopolizes all of that, it’s contrary to human nature, and then it has to be repressive,” Hanson said. “So all of these social experiments, even if they’re democratic, they end up repressive. At the worst form, it’s no accident that the greatest mass murderers in history were Mao [Zedong] and [Joseph] Stalin, 30 million, 60 million, and they were radical communists, and even people like Hitler, National Socialist Party.”
Hanson added that every socialist system creates a privileged elite exempt from its own policies.
“Talented people who can help the economy, who are successful or demonized, they flee. People who want things for nothing come in. There’s open borders,” Hanson added. “They destroy personal liberty, and they stamp out any dissent or criticism. And there’s always an elite, the billionaire Castro brothers, Chavez and Maduro. They always are never subject to their consequences, their ideology. Here in California, we are becoming socialist.”
Mamdani, who was elected mayor of New York City Tuesday, said he will push for sweeping economic reforms — including a $30 minimum wage, city-operated grocery stores, and higher taxes on what he described as “richer and whiter” neighborhoods.
New Yorkers, your quality of life just took a turn, probably for the worse. I’m glad I don’t live there. I’m pretty sure a lot of people will also not be living there once his polices kick in and the city crumbles into California like decay. Just don’t come to my state and ruin it also.
Mamadani wants communism. The voters ignored the fact that it’s never worked and workers are the ones who suffer……and starve

American Support for So-Called Same-Sex Marriage Falls – statistics say only about 2% of the population are homosexuals. The press would make you think it’s 10 times that. People are behind it when it’s in vogue. If you’re not totally invested in something, you don’t give a shit after a while. They’ve beat us over the head with accepting it for so long that those not against it (actually the majority) don’t give a $hit anymore. You can only hear something for so long.

She drank (a lot of) top shelf liquor, soaked the taxpayers for mega-millions for vacations, got on the cover of magazines for no reason other than being black. It sure wasn’t because she deserved it or looked good. The press protected and promoted her and now she has 3 mansions so that she doesn’t have to live with Barry. What an entitled person. Give us all a break.
Historical Icons They’re Removing From Our Kids’ Education, we’ll be doomed to repeat history.

Oklahoma State University student Joshua Wilson wears a Turning Point USA hat given to him by Charlie Kirk
In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, an Oklahoma State University student is going public after a school official reprimanded him for his support of the slain civil-rights leader, saying some people could be “triggered” simply because he wore a Turning Point USA hat with the number 47 on it.
Student Joshua Wilson is exposing the actions of Melisa Echols, OSU’s coordinator of student-government programs, who told him: “As a person who doesn’t look like you and has not had the same lived experience as you, I have family who don’t look like you who are triggered – and I will be very candid with you – who are triggered by those hats and by that side.”
While Wilson told Echols he understood her concerns, he didn’t believe wearing a Turning Point hat was partisan, and he rejected the claim it was somehow harmful to other students.
Echols at one point was angered that Wilson defended his stance.
“‘But’ cannot be the end of every statement. That’s not a learned lesson,” Echols said. “It cannot just be, ‘yes, but’ – cannot be every response that you give me. Otherwise, this year is going to be difficult for you.”
LibsofTikTok reports action has now been taken against Echols: “According to TPUSA, the staff member who reprimanded a student for honoring Charlie has been placed on administrative leave. Bye Bye.”
Harvard hires drag queen named ‘LaWhore Vagistan’ as visiting professor
Once again, the Ivy League has lowered the bar for the most expensive education you can buy.
Harvard University hired a drag performer as a new professor — who is expected to teach a class on TV show “RuPaul’s Drag Race” in the spring semester, the Ivy League school announced over the summer.
The institution welcomed Kareem Khubchandani in a July message to the college community and revealed that the visiting professor from Tufts University will teach in the Studies of Gender and Sexuality program thanks to the Harvard Gender and Sexuality Caucus.
Khubchandani is perhaps better known by his stage name, “LaWhore Vagistani” — a persona that the academic has made an integral part of their pedagogy.
The professor will often lecture in the guise of “LaWhore,” which has been a personal project for over a decade, even spawning a music video titled “Sari.”
Judge sentences ‘scholar-activist’ to 20 years in prison for firebombing UC Berkeley cop car
A federal judge sentenced a ‘scholar-activist” to almost 20 years in prison and ordered him to pay nearly $100,000 in fines for firebombing a University of California Berkeley police car and committing other acts of arson.
Judge Jeffrey White went further than even requested by the prosecution, who asked for 15 years in prison for Casey Goonan, who committed the crimes in June 2024.
Goonan, as detailed by the Department of Justice, “placed a bag containing six explosive devices commonly known as ‘Molotov cocktails’ underneath the fuel tank of a marked University of California Police Department (UCPD) patrol car parked near the UC Berkeley campus. Goonan lit the bag on fire and fled, causing the patrol car to catch on fire.”
That same month, he reportedly tried to firebomb federal buildings as well.
Last year, Goonan’s attorney Jeff Wozniak said the charges were part of a politicized investigation due to his client’s opposition to Israel. “It is an investigation focused on Mr. Goonan’s political beliefs in a free Palestine and against the ongoing genocide in Gaza,” the attorney said last year. “If charges are filed, Mr. Goonan’s legal team will aggressively fight the charges.”
