Kids Games When We Used To Play Outside, Red Rover, Smear The Queer
Last night, the left lost their minds when Bijan Robinsin commented on his play as it related to a game we played as kids. He called it smear the queer, but we knew it as kill the man with the ball. He had to walk it back, but I know he didn’t mean it.
If you grew up before video games and actually played outside without a helmet, it was great fun. If you don’t know it, look it up. It will be a good education for you on why our generation tried harder at most things. The struggle was real, like real life, everyone against you.
Another good game was Red Rover. It’s where you line up kids in 2 groups, holding each other by the arms, and pick someone from the other side to run and try to break the hold. Red rover, red rover, send x (next victim) on over. In reality, it was a way to clothesline a kid from the other side, also great fun.
We also played war, kick the can, and baseball, where a parked car served as 3rd base. The game would stop for a while if a car came through, but there weren’t as many back then.
And then there is dodgeball. That’s where you’d hit the girls and the fat kids first. Nothing beats a good shot to the face though. That’s the real score
If you didn’t have a ball, there was kick the can.
Sometimes it was stickball. Kids from NY know that one well.
Life was easier back then, and we didn’t need a Switch or Xbox to play video games. Our moms kicked us out of the house, and we made stuff up.
If there were not enough other kids, you could climb a tree or throw something for the dog to chase. I grew up in an old tangerine farm so that is what we had, way before tennis balls were dog toys.
We moved on to paper football
Oh, to be young again.

Feminism And The Dearth Of Children
I wrote about the callousness of females in dating, how they think they deserve everything, and then can have a family, but that is not how things work out for the best if you look at history.
It turns out that Children are the measure of a Society.
“The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.” These words, attributed to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, echo like a warning bell across generations. They are not merely poetic, they are prophetic. If we dare to measure our society by this standard, we must confront a painful truth: we are failing.
At the heart of this failure lies the collapse of the nuclear family. Once the cornerstone of civilization, the family, father, mother, and children bound by love and duty, has been systematically dismantled. In its place, we find broken homes, single-parent households, and blended families struggling to find emotional equilibrium. The consequences are not abstract, they are measurable, generational, and devastating.
As Ronald Reagan once said, “The family has always been the cornerstone of American society. Our families nurture, preserve, and pass on to each succeeding generation the values we share and cherish.” When that cornerstone crumbles, so too does the moral architecture built upon it.
Today, the majority of children are raised without both biological parents. Fatherlessness has become a defining feature of modern childhood. Studies consistently link father absence to increased rates of poverty, incarceration, substance abuse, and suicide. Children raised in single-parent or stepparent homes often face emotional instability, identity confusion, and a longing for roots that were never planted.
Feminism takes a lot of the blame:
The takeaway? Messing with nature has unintended, adverse consequences. Legions of females are practically cultists. Many are as barren as the Sahara.
Basic biology: young women are hardwired to bear children. Yet, that simple fact is shrugged off by progressives. Instead of having kids, too many females are adopting malignant social causes.
“Manmade” climate change is one such cause, as Weinstein cites. Woke ideology is another. Socialism? Mamdani won the NYC mayorship in no small measure thanks to younger voters, particularly younger women, who backed him lopsidedly. What about “fascist” Charlie Kirk’s assassination? Left-leaning females were in the forefront, cheering Kirk’s murder on social media. Not only is that creepy, but it exposes a growing social pathology.
Government has become a spouse substitute for self-proclaimed empowered females. Government may provide some protection — in terms of a social safety net — though little in the way of emotional sustenance and meaning.
A feminist tenet is that not only can women do anything that men do but do it better — and do it without men. In a common-sense world, that’s good for laughs.
Eschewing nature and evolutionary development are conceits. The interdependence — the complementary nature — of the male-female bond are dismissed. Humans are putty. Gender is assigned at birth. Differences between the sexes? Only if feminists care to assert female superiority. Do hardcore feminists despise men? Appears so.

The Double-Edged Sword: How AI’s Hunger for Data Makes It Cybersecurity’s Weakest Link
- The rush to adopt AI is creating major new pathways for data breaches, identity theft and corporate espionage, making the very tools meant to secure our future into its greatest vulnerability.
- AI systems require vast amounts of data to function, but feeding them sensitive corporate or client information is likened to posting confidential files on a public noticeboard, with the company often losing control over that data.
- A critical flaw of current AI is its inability to truly delete data. Once information is absorbed by a model, it becomes a permanent, unerasable part of its core structure, creating a lasting digital shadow.
- Laws are failing to keep pace with AI, as companies exploit loopholes (e.g., arguing model training isn’t data storage) and shift operations offshore to avoid regulations, creating a dangerous accountability gap.
- Organizations must take primary responsibility by implementing strict controls, such as deploying enterprise AI with training disabled and limited data retention, and training staff to treat every AI prompt as public information.
(Natural News)—In the global stampede to adopt artificial intelligence, a chilling reality is coming into focus: the very tools promised to secure our digital future are becoming its greatest vulnerability. As corporations race to integrate AI, cybersecurity experts warn that these systems are simultaneously creating unprecedented pathways for data breaches, identity theft and corporate espionage. This crisis, born from a headlong rush into a new technological era, threatens the privacy and security of every individual and organization.
The warning signs are stark. A 2025 Accenture report revealed a staggering 90 percent of companies lack the modernized infrastructure to defend against AI-driven threats. This year alone, the Identity Theft Resource Center has confirmed 1,732 data breaches, fueled by increasingly sophisticated AI-powered phishing attacks.
The fundamental issue lies in the architecture of AI itself. These systems are vast, data-hungry engines. To function, they must absorb immense volumes of information, and this insatiable appetite creates a critical vulnerability. When an employee inputs sensitive business data—strategy documents or client information—that information is absorbed into a system over which the company may have little control. One expert likened the practice to pinning confidential files on a public noticeboard and hoping no one makes a copy.

Reality Caught Up to ‘Climate Change’
For decades, the monolithic and sacrosanct international climate change hierarchy went unquestioned.
Western nations in particular spent trillions of dollars over the past half-century to subsidize expensive but erratic wind and solar energy while demonizing carbon fuels as toxic threats to the planet.
Like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion dogma, climate change orthodoxy was embedded into every aspect of Western culture, from the corporate boardroom to the university campus.
Question whether man-made global warming was truly responsible for increased temperatures rather than natural, often centuries-long cycles of heating and cooling of the planet, and one was labeled a climate crank.
Everything from declining fertility to forest fires was ridiculously attributed to climate change.
But the causes of both demographic crises and charred landscapes were more likely the result of new affluent lifestyles that saw child-rearing as too expensive and time-consuming, and misguided forest policies or underfunded firefighting.
Yet reality has caught up with the near-religious climate change cult.
One, the left-wing tech billionaires—exemplified by former climate change zealot Bill Gates—have become apostates of the green movement. Now they do not warn of a planet threatened by too much man-made heat but rather by too little man-made kilowattage.
They believe artificial intelligence will prove as transformative as the Industrial Revolution. But to win the AI revolution will require vast increases in electricity production, of up to a staggering 100 gigawatts a year of additional capacity.
Such enormous demand—to build the equivalent of a hundred huge power plants per year—is far beyond the ability of “renewables” alone.
Instead, the only solution is an “all of the above” strategy of building more nuclear, natural gas, clean-coal, wind, and solar generation plants.
Two, ascendant China’s massive arms buildup and its bullying Belt and Road imperialism have finally put international “climate accords” into question.
Even the environmentalist King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden has recently let it slip that he is troubled by why Europe sandbagged its own economy by shutting down its formerly efficient nuclear and fossil fuel plants. He reminded the world that the European Union nations contribute only six percent of the planet’s carbon emissions.
The West finally realizes that a cynical China has been playing it for years by funding green propaganda abroad.
Indeed, Beijing guilt-tripped Europe and the U.S. on global warming while it exported billions of dollars of cheap wind and solar generation products—often below its own cost of production.
Meanwhile, China plows ahead, building two to three coal and nuclear generation plants per month.
Under the propagandistic banner of “climate change,” China hopes that its Western competitors invest in inefficient and high-priced renewable energy. Meanwhile, its own expanding fossil fuel and nuclear industries ensure it will enjoy global price advantages in both trade and armament.
Three, the global climate crisis shakedown has become shameless. Formerly third-world nations now demand from the West hundreds of billions of dollars in “climate reparations” for carbon emissions released decades ago.
Yes, the West burned more oil and gas. But it also provided the rest of the world with carbon-fueled cars, factories, and modern consumer goods.
Green critics fail to concede that almost all global technology and modern industrial products come from either the West or westernizing copycats.
Four, energy production is at the nexus of conflict and can mean life or death for nations. To the degree the United States and its allies produce lots of natural gas and oil, they can protect the West from crippling embargoes and cutoffs from anti-Western energy producers.
During the Ukraine War, America exported liquefied natural gas to Europe, not solar panels or turbine blades. And it will be increasingly essential to keep Europe afloat as Russia turns off its export spigot.
When oil and natural gas are affordable, thanks to the fossil fuel production of Western nations, then illiberal and bellicose oil-exporting countries like Iran and Russia have less money to spend on aggressive wars or subsidizing their global terrorists.
Five, science is not fossilized in amber but dynamic and changing.
Increasingly, climatologists are no longer afraid of being bullied by global green scolds.
They point out that while accurate temperature recording is only a couple of centuries old, the planet has been here for over 4 billion years. And it reveals plenty of evidence of natural climate volatility.
Extreme heat and cold spells lasted in nature for centuries—and did so long before humans appeared, little more than 300,000 years ago.
So, the public is sick of pseudoscientific activists peddling their doom-and-gloom wares for their own particular and profitable agendas.
Elite green gurus often buy seaside estates while warning of devastating tidal waves to come. They fly in carbon-spewing private jets while ordering the poor to turn down their air conditioners.
In sum, carbon is dead, long live carbon!
It was a lie the whole time. It was about money and power, not climate or carbon. I worked in that industry and couldn’t believe that people truly believed this nonsense. They were the ones who received the Covid jab, but likely also contracted Covid-19. Dumbasses everywhere.

EWW, You Won’t Guess What This Photograph Caught Andrew Cuomo Doing on Election Night
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo just reminded the nation why his last term was cut short.
Pictures circulating on social media show Cuomo kissing Rita Glavin, the attorney who represented him in his sexual harassment case, on the cheek while holding her face. This happened during an election night party.
Glavin told reporters she was congratulating the former governor on his hard-fought but ill-fated campaign to become New York City’s next mayor.
This is exactly what his alleged victims accused him of. Their lawsuits included allegations of unwanted touching, groping, kissing, and making sexually suggestive comments. The New York Attorney General’s office conducted an investigation into Cuomo 2021 that revealed he had engaged in this pattern of behavior for years.
The Justice Department found that Cuomo had harassed 13 women between 2013 and 2021. His office even retaliated against at least four of them when they spoke up.

And I Thought Getting Eaten Was The Worst Way To Die
A postal worker has died after getting stuck in a mail handling machine – and his body was only discovered after his devastated fiancée turned up at his workplace.
The employee in his 30s was found dead on Saturday after being trapped for several hours inside a large mail handling machine at the United States Postal Service Detroit Network Distribution Center in Allen Park, Michigan.
Police believe the death was accidental, though the exact circumstances of how the worker became stuck remain under investigation.
The man’s body was discovered by firefighters who responded after the worker failed to return home from his shift.
Investigators believe he had been deceased for approximately six to eight hours before being located, lodged inside the machine at the facility.
His fiancée initially alerted authorities to his absence and waited outside the facility for hours before receiving assistance.
That means he was crushed to death, slowly, knowing he couldn’t escape

Your Free Trial Of Socialism Just Ended – Senate Ends Government Shutdown
The Democratic base is in an unhinged uproar this morning after a handful of Senate Democrats cut a face-saving ‘deal’ to reopen the government.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Senate broke the Chuck Schumer-led filibuster last night after eight Senate Democrats caved and joined Republicans in their bid to pass a revamped plan to end the shutdown.
The Motion to Invoke Cloture on the House-passed continuing resolution was passed on the 15th attempt by a vote of 60-40. Republicans plan to amend the bill and attach three full-year-long appropriations bills.
Seven Democrats and one Independent (Angus King) who caucuses with the party joined Republicans and passed the resolution. Rand Paul was the lone ‘Republican’ to vote no.
Here were the Dem Caucus members who caved:
Angus King of Maine
John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada
Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
Jacky Rosen of Nevada
Tim Kaine of Virginia
Dick Durbin of Illinois
The House will return to session on Wednesday to vote on the Senate-passed funding package.
The childish elitists on Blue Sky SCREAMED betrayal and threw massive tantrums following the vote, using some of the most colorful terms imaginable.
Many also demanded Schumer’s resignation, even though he did not vote for the ‘compromise.’

What was your favorite subject in school?
What was your favorite subject in school?
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?

It would be easy to pick on the new socialist Guvner of NYC, Mamdani, but he hasn’t done much other than talk about how he’s going to destroy the city, and then the country.
No, the assholes are the ones who turned out in record numbers to vote for him. It’s been less than 25 years since the planes were flown into the World Trade Center buildings by American-hating and Antisemitic Muslims, kind of like Mamdani.
Combine that with the fact that socialism has failed every time it has been tried along with the generally nasty NY attitude and it’s the voters who get named the assholes of the week.

13 Things Introverts Find ‘Horrifying’
1. When people call — and a text or email would have been more than sufficient.
As an introvert, I am frightened by people who call when a text or email would be more than sufficient. There is a certain anxiety that comes with an open-ended conversation, since phone conversations are expected to take longer than the 10 seconds necessary to transmit the information. This anxiety is compounded by the lack of visual cues during a phone call that are vital to us introverts, but are often summarily ignored by extroverts.
–Steve
2. Not being able to exit an intense social setting.
The thing that horrifies me the most is not being able to exit an intense social setting. If I am somewhere and don’t have an out, my stress level skyrockets. I need to know that I have a way to step out or leave so I can recharge.
–Lou
3. Networking events. Period.
Networking events are made for extroverts who gain energy by being around people and engaging with them. However, for most introverts, networking events are generally uncomfortable and terrifying — we find it hard to be open and let strangers into our lives. We are atrocious at small talk, and it is challenging to establish rapport with new people. For us, networking is definitely out of our comfort zone and ranks as one the top scary things for introverts.
–Albert
4. Being put on the spot.
My biggest fear is of being put on the spot to say something in a group or public setting when I’m not prepared. That feeling of all eyes turning to me to say something off-the-cuff really makes me uncomfortable!
–Jen
5. Two words that strike intense fear into my heart are “overnight stay.”
I may be an introvert, but I love people. I can have a great time seeing friends and family and love spending time together over a few drinks and board games. But if we need to stay overnight? That’s when anxiety sets in. Keeping up the social energy in the morning, not knowing when we’ll be able to duck out and find some respite — these thoughts embed themselves into the back of my mind, which makes socializing that much harder.
–Mike
6. First dates terrify me.
First dates terrify me because of my aversion to small talk and awkward silences. I can talk to someone online, no problem, but face-to-face? I make very weird small talk because I’m nervous. The terror is, I see the date and he’s not who I’m interested in when I meet him in person. Then I just want to leave as quickly as possible, so the small talk becomes even more painful. I just sit there, in anxious terror, and blurt out the first thing that comes into my head, whether it’s appropriate or not.
Prime example: I went out on a one-date-wonder a few years ago. We met for lunch, he didn’t appeal to me in person, awkward silence ensued. The only thing I thought to say was: “Armadillos are the only other mammal that contract leprosy from humans.” (I learned that factoid in fifth grade and who would have thought it’d stick with me 35 years later?!) He looked at me in horror and I fled. I never heard from him again — whew!

7. Public speaking scares me to death.
Any sort of public speaking scares me to death as someone who is basically a career introvert. It doesn’t matter if I’m leading a meeting of three participants or speaking to a larger audience, the thought of being the center of attention in any way, shape, or form truly terrifies me. It’s kind of like a fear of heights — you don’t understand it truly unless you suffer from it. All of the workarounds don’t seem to work, and I just manage it by avoiding it as much as possible.
–David
8. Getting trapped in a social commitment that goes on for hours.
There’s nothing more frightening than getting trapped in a social commitment that can prolong for hours (like public speaking or large parties). I prefer shorter engagements when my energy levels are higher, but once things drag on, it becomes impossible to focus and incredibly uncomfortable!
–Sara
9. Having roommates — thus having to be social all the time — is an introvert’s worst nightmare.
The one thing that scares me a lot is living with my friends permanently. While I enjoy socializing, after a while, I am mentally drained and need time to recharge. If I had to live with friends, I’d feel obligated to be social all the time and that would be mentally stressful for me as an introvert because I wouldn’t have “space” to get away from them. You’re stuck living in the same place, and I feel that would be pretty unbearable.
–Roger
10. My biggest fear is being embarrassed.
As an introvert who avoids social interaction at nearly all costs, my biggest fear is being embarrassed. When I’m in public, I usually become solely focused on how I look to other people, what others think of me, and the assumptions they make of me. In the past, it’s affected everything from the way that I walk to the comments I make to even the tone of my voice. It can be kind of brutal, but it’s something I’ve learned to deal with. Staying out of the public eye seems to help with that.
–Mike
11. I feel my introversion can scare off a romantic partner.
One thing that scares me is that being introverted and very independent could cause damage to my relationship or scare them off.
–Lauren
12. I fear being alone forever because of my introversion.
We all need love and companionship, but as an introvert, I don’t like feeling like I have to compete for “airtime” in social gatherings. I love my alone time, but still want a solid group of loved ones.
–Tolu
13. I find it horrifying when my work manager announces, “Let’s have a team-building exercise today.”
I call myself an introvert, as I am someone who enjoys alone time, would rather stay home than go to a party on weekends, and I regain energy by spending time away from people.
The one thing that terrifies me is when my work manager announces, “Let’s have a team-building exercise today.” Though we introverts tend to be team players — as we are all about deep work and being invested in the goals of the group — when it comes to group or team activities, it scares us. Team-building exercises involve interacting with people, small talk, and, in some cases, having the spotlight on you alone. These are all things my introverted self dreads and runs away from.
12 doesn’t bother me, and I pretty much have gotten over being embarrassed, but the rest are true. I have to face number 5 on Thanksgiving with a houseful of extroverts.
I got told that I have to take care of some adolescents that I’m related to next summer and the anxiety has already set in.

Elections 2025 – “Talented people who can help the economy, who are successful or demonized, they flee. People who want things for nothing come in.
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

Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live?
Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live?
When I was single in Miami. I was in a place that was great to be solo. I had friends to do stuff with. The beach was minutes away. Life was just starting for me, so everything was an adventure. We went deep-sea fishing, clubbing, and I came home to a house that occasionally had roommates. Mostly, I was able to come and go as I wished.
When it was time to move on in a relationship, that was easy too. They would just become after W in the alphabet.
Health was easy. I was in shape for free by just being young. We were fearless and what felt like immortal. We could do anything and there would always be tomorrow.
My friends and I had season tickets to the Dan Marino Air Force show. Every game was 5 touchdowns, and I even partied in the stands with Don Shula’s daughter.
Then, I grew up. In the words of Toby Keith, I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.
Now, it’s you ain’t much fun since I quit drinkin’.

A Steep Price To Pay Just To Get Laid, Why Buckingham Palace Decided to Get Rid of Andrew
LONDON—In recent days, King Charles III moved decisively to shut down a slow-burning scandal that threatened to tarnish not only his reign but that of his son Prince William.
For over a decade, the former friendship between Charles’s younger brother Andrew and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein generated negative headlines, embarrassing the royal family. Andrew had long denied he abused an American teenage girl introduced to him by Epstein decades ago, but a drumbeat of fresh disclosures in recent weeks brought the scandal back to Britain’s front pages, sparking fresh public disapproval and complaints from lawmakers about the man 8th in line to the throne.
Editors note: There is no pussy in the world worth this, even the smallest part of this. Only an ego that thought he was untouchable caused him to lose control of his dick.
After several days of negotiations, Charles and his brother finally agreed on terms Thursday afternoon, according to royal aides, and within hours the news was made public: Prince Andrew would be stripped of his royal status and relegated to simply Mr. Mountbatten Windsor. He would also lose the mansion where he lived and paid no rent. In exchange, Charles would pay for his brother to live in a far more modest house on the family’s holiday estate of Sandringham.
Despite the move, the debacle is likely to hang over the family for years to come. There has always been salacious gossip about the royal family, and misbehaving royals, but this time it felt much worse.
“I don’t remember a scandal like this,” says Ingrid Seward, editor in chief of Majesty magazine. “It’s not going to make it go away, the more people talk about it the more people get involved,” Seward said, adding the last time the monarchy was hit with this level of turmoil was when Charles divorced his first wife, Diana.
The demotion could, however, take the oxygen out of those who criticize the palace for being too lenient in their treatment of Andrew, royal watchers say. “I’m not sure it will completely satisfy the public disquiet but it’s at least something,” Andrew Lownie, the historian and author of “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” told the BBC.
Traditionally, the royal family has a policy of not complaining or explaining when faced with scandal. For years a mixture of protocol and family ties made the monarchy reluctant to fully swing the ax on Andrew, royal experts say. The dashing former helicopter pilot was widely considered his mother’s favorite son and courtiers said Queen Elizabeth II didn’t want to take steps to fully humiliate him. Stripping royal titles was something reserved for those who committed near treasonable offenses or no longer considered part of the extended royal clan.
This position changed after Charles came to the throne. The monarch, who is 76 and continues to fight cancer, is expected to have a relatively short reign during which his main legacy is to bequeath a monarchy on a strong footing to his popular son Prince William, who has long urged the palace to take more decisive action against his disgraced uncle.
It is uncertain what life now awaits Andrew. He is expected to leave his 30-room mansion on the Windsor Estate in the coming months. He has lived there with his ex wife Sarah Ferguson, but she won’t be joining him at Sandringham, leaving her to fend for herself.
The windswept rural Sandringham Estate is a far cry from Windsor, which is close to London. It remains to be seen whether Andrew, who is used to having a full staff and valet, will now be expected to cook his own meals. The palace has simply said that the king will provide for his brother from his private funds.
Two recent events made Andrew’s position untenable. His accuser Virginia Giuffre died by suicide this year, and has posthumously published a memoir in recent weeks detailing how Andrew allegedly had sex with her on three separate occasions, including during an orgy with Epstein. The book was filled with tawdry details, such as an anecdote about how Andrew licked the arches of her feet and shared a bath with her. Secondly, the British press published emails that showed Andrew was emailing Epstein in 2011, well after the royal had claimed he had cut ties with him.
Their parents were cousins, so I’m not surprised at the behavior (or that this is all we know so far). Let’s not forget that Harry gave up a lifetime of fame and money, yachts, Castles, Servants, and the life of luxury, because his American wife felt offended. She went in looking to be offended, and Harry was stupid enough to go along with it and then trash his country. King Chuckles promotes Islam and the climate hoax. A lot of people can’t wait for William to take over. The Queen was so much better than this lot.
I believe the British word is wanker, although on this one it could be plonker.
I guess it’s really tough to be a Royal, if that is what you can call them anymore.

Sexy Nurses, Naughty Cops And Playboy Bunnies: The Halloween Dilemma Haunting Men For All Eternity
It’s a debate as old as Halloween itself.
Is it acceptable for a woman, particularly a woman in a relationship, to dress up for Halloween in a skimpy, provocative costume? We all know the kind of which I speak. The naughty cop who struts around with handcuffs. The sexy nurse. The Playboy Bunny. The devil horns, crop-top, mini skirt trifecta. At what point should women retire the slutty Halloween costumes?
There are many sides to this debate. Some women believe they should be able to dress up in whatever manner they see fit, even if their costume makes a Moscow escort blush, and even if they are in a relationship. Others believe that when they are single, they can pull out all the stops. But once they have a man, they need to get more creative and pick a costume that isn’t simply bunny ears with a bikini, or opt for a couple’s costume. Finally, there are the conservative women who always take the goofy and/or clever route, like wearing a giant inflatable dinosaur costume, no matter their relationship status.
Halloween only gets complicated for men when their girlfriend or spouse dresses up in an extremely provocative manner. There are men who don’t want to come across as jealous or controlling, and will bottle up their insecurity even when their girlfriend leaves the house looking like Hugh Hefner’s cocktail waitress. Some men actually don’t care, and maybe even like it when their girlfriend leaves literally nothing to the imagination. Others won’t put up with it at all.
Here’s my take on the timeless debate: you are never going to stop adult women from dressing slutty on Halloween; it’s impossible. They’ve been doing it forever. And obviously, I’m talking about adult women. Parents should be ashamed if their teenage daughters are trick-or-treating while looking like OnlyFans harlots.
My college girlfriend could just go as herself, she was already a cheating whore.

4 Broken Obamacare Promises
When they were trying to pass the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, Bill Clinton talked to the Democrats. He told them you may not like it, but it’s the chance to get our foot in the door that will never be closed (my version of his words, but accurate as to his intent). In other words, we’ll work on it later to achieve what we really want, regardless of the initial outcome, just pass the damn thing.
Read this and judge for yourself if the promises came true and did Obama lie to the American public to sell it. Let’s not forget, if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
1. ‘Your Premiums Will Go Down’
In July 2012, when campaigning for reelection, Obama repeated his assertion that—once implemented—the Affordable Care Act would reduce prices.
Running for his first term in 2008, then-Sen. Obama said he would sign a health care bill in his first term as president “that will cover every American and cut the cost of a typical family’s premium by up to $2,500 a year.”
In 2012, he spoke similarly about the law that had passed—with no Republican votes in Congress—but had not yet gone into effect.
“You should know that once we have fully implemented, you’re going to be able to buy insurance through a pool so that you can get the same good rates as a group that if you’re an employee at a big company you can get right now, which means your premiums will go down,” Obama said, when speaking in Cincinnati campaigning for a second term.
In 2013, when implementation of the Affordable Care Act began, the average premium paid by consumers in the individual market was $244 per month. By 2022, that cost had soared to $568 per month, an increase of 133%, noted a Heritage Foundation report from August 2024, “Key Health Care Trends: Nationally and in Each of the States.”
“The average deductibles for bronze-level plans sold on the exchanges increased by 40 percent between 2014 and 2024,” the Heritage report explains. “For self-only coverage, the average deductible was $5,094 in 2014, but is $7,144 in 2024, while the average deductible for family coverage has increased from $10,278 in 2014 to $14,310 in 2024.”
In recent years, 15 states have obtained federal waivers from some Obamacare provisions, which enabled insurers in the waivered states to reduce premiums.
The per-capita average monthly cost of individual market coverage had more than doubled in 40 states. In Missouri, costs had risen by 213%; in Alabama, by 309%; and in West Virginia, up 323%, according to the August 2024 Heritage Foundation report.
2. ‘Competition Where There Wasn’t Competition’
Obama asserted in October 2013 that the Affordable Care Act would create a more competitive insurance marketplace.
“What we’ve done is essentially create a competition where there wasn’t competition before,” Obama said. “We created these big group plans, and now insurers are really interested in getting your business. And so, insurers have created new health care plans with more choices to be made available through these marketplaces.”
But two-thirds of states, or 34 states, and the District of Columbia, had fewer insurers offering exchange coverage in 2024 than a decade earlier, before the Affordable Care Act was implemented.
On the slight upside, eight states had more insurers offering plans on the Healthcare.gov exchanges in 2024 than they had before the Obamacare law was passed, while eight others have the same number.
For 2026, some 183 qualified health plans are available on the Obamacare exchanges, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced Wednesday. Of the 30 states using HealthCare.gov, 19 have more plans than the previous year, according to CMS.
That’s still substantially less than before Obamacare was implemented. In 2013, almost 400 insurers were offering coverage in individual markets at the state level before the ACA was implemented. Eight states had only one insurer providing insurance.
In 2026, 95% of enrollees will have access to three or more qualified health plan issuers. That’s down marginally from 96% in 2025, but an improvement from 68% in 2020, according to CMS. Fewer than 1% of 2026 enrollees have only one available issuer on the exchanges.
“Any potential benefits of competition were offset, or more than offset, by a subsidy design that really insulates enrollees from a lot of the cost, because the subsidies go up as premiums go up. That’s part of why you have seen the increase,” Ed Haislmaier, a senior research fellow with the DeVos Center for Human Flourishing at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal.
3. Not ‘One Dime to Our Deficits’
Obama said in September 2009, “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits, either now or in the future.”
The initial score by the Congressional Budget Office in 2010 estimated the legislation would reduce the federal deficit. However, the cost of Medicaid expansion was higher than projected, as was the cost of subsidies, which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The expansion of the COVID-19 era subsidies were passed as part of the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act and extended as part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. The COVID-19 emergency formally ended 2-1/2 years ago.
The CBO found in 2024 that extending the COVID-era subsidies permanently would result in a $380 billion cost increase to taxpayers over the next 10 years.It would also likely mean 6.9 million individuals would be added to the Obamacare exchanges—receiving an average subsidy of $5,370 each. But of that 6.9 million, at least 3.5 million would be shifting from existing insurance plans such as employer plans, according CBO.
Before the COVID-19 subsidies, Obamacare enrollment was stable. In 2019, 13.7 million individuals drew a subsidy. By just the first quarter of 2025, that reached 26.7 million—nearly double.
“Obamacare is not affordable, and has narrowed network plans to exclude certain doctors and hospitals,” Brian Blase, president of Paragon Health Institute, a health care think tank, told The Daily Signal. “The only people purchasing are for the most part getting giant subsidies. It’s good for the health insurance companies. There used to be a guaranteed customer base with the individual mandate, which was eliminated. But it’s still a heavily regulated market, which decreases competition, and they receive massive subsidies.”
4. ‘Savings’ From Medicaid Expansion
“The insurance reforms rest on everybody having access to coverage, and you also don’t do anything about the fact that taxpayers currently end up subsidizing the uninsured when they’re forced to go to the emergency room for care, to the tune of about a thousand bucks per family,” Obama said in March 2010. “You can’t get those savings if those people are still going to the emergency room.”
Almost 20 million newly eligible able-bodied adults enrolled in Medicaid from 2013 to 2023. That’s compared with Medicaid enrollment for children that increased by just 2.5 million, and for the elderly that increased by 1.2 million over the same 10-year span. The number of disabled enrollees over that period declined by 400,000, the Heritage Foundation report from August 2024 says.
Emergency room visits from the new Medicaid enrollees have increased, the Paragon Health Institute noted in a report last October.
“As a result of expansion, existing Medicaid enrollees have had more challenges obtaining doctor appointments,” the Paragon report says. “According to a 2019 meta-analysis, prior to expansion, Medicaid enrollees were half as likely as those with private insurance to get appointments, while they were only one-third as likely after expansion—a decline by one-third.”
From 2013 to 2023, Medicaid enrollment, as well as enrollment in the Children’s Health Insurance Program, soared overall from 61.1 million to 85.4 million.
Medicaid enrollment more than doubled over those 10 years in Alaska, Virginia, Oregon, and Nevada.

Food Stamps To Be Paused For 42 Million Americans: What To Know…
There are some damning statistics below. Some people genuinely need help and will be in trouble. I hope that groups like Samaritan’s Purse will come to their rescue. They did so during Hurricane Helene when FJB refused to help Western Carolina, as it wasn’t his voting base. That was an evil move
Conversely, some grifters and illegals don’t deserve SNAP and will be either weeded out, sent home, or will learn to get a job. It might sound cold, but humans do better when they earn their way, rather than have it handed to them. When ‘Helping’ the Homeless Is Harmful
Look at who it is planning to loot; anyone could have guessed this one – BWBB
The Schumer shutdown is “mostly” over the left trying to give free stuff to the illegals. It is the same Santa Claus routine in trade for votes (the illegals are their future voter base). The shutdown could be over last week if he had agreed not to fund the illegals.
Here is a clip so that you can decide whether your hard-earned money should go to those who don’t need help, or are getting it illegally. YMMV.
Food stamps are set to be paused on Nov. 1 because of the government shutdown.
Some 42 million Americans will not receive benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) until Congress approves new funding, according to federal officials, although some states have taken steps to intervene.
Congress made money available for SNAP for October before failing to reach a new government funding agreement, which resulted in the government shutting down on Oct. 1, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said in a letter to regional and state SNAP officials.
There is not enough money to pay full SNAP benefits to the approximately 42 million SNAP recipients in November, the USDA says.
“Bottom line, the well has run dry,” the USDA said on Oct. 25.
“At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01.”
Since 2010, the total percentage of the US population that is on food stamps has not fallen below 12 percent.
Nationwide, the total percentage of the population receiving food stamps can vary significantly by state, and region. Measured state-by-state, we find that more than one in five residents of New Mexico receive food stamps. In Utah, on the other hand, fewer than one in twenty receive food stamps.
There are sizeable differences by race and ethnicity as well. Although they comprise 58 percent of the US population, non-Hispanic whites account for only 36.5 percent of all SNAP recipients. Blacks comprise about 26 percent of SNAP recipients although blacks are only 12 percent of the US population. Asians comprise 3.3 percent of the food-stamp recipient population. Those who self-identify as Hispanic (of any race) comprise 16 percent of the recipient population. (Note: according to the Census Bureau data used here, “Hispanic” is classified as an ethnicity and not a race. Since fifty percent of Hispanics self-identify as “white,” self-identified whites actually comprise 71 percent of the population, not 58 percent. (Pew studies suggest that 58 percent of Hispanics self-identify as white.)
Immigration status can be a factor as well. According to the Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), more than a third of immigrant-headed households receive food stamps or some other form of food subsidy such as WIC. Nearly half of households headed by illegal-immigrants receive food stamps. (This data is from the 2022 SIPP report.) The percentage for native-born households, on the other hand, is 25 percent. (Note: This is a household number, so is not comparable to the total percentage of individuals in the US population who receive food stamps.)

Most of the people who pushed back on her noted the fact that average people would be hurt by her plan the most. Link to where she gets trashed. She’s made AOTW before, so she can’t win every week. I’ll leave her at asswipe.
Finality, there’s this week’s winner, thank you very little FJB:

Well, let me just read this. “Liberal Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on Wednesday”—that would have been about a week ago from when this podcast is up—“compared efforts to draw congressional districts along racial lines, compared it to the way disabled people were granted easier access to buildings after the Americans with Disabilities Act became law.” That’s quoting her.
“‘The idea of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is that we are responding to current-day manifestations of past and present decisions that disadvantage minorities and make it so that they don’t have equal access to the voting system. Right?’ Jackson said as she questioned a lawyer representing Louisiana voters who argued that the court-ordered creation of a second majority-black district in the state violated the 14th Amendment by prioritizing racial composition in its boundaries.
Since she doesn’t even know that Blacks aren’t disabled, or what a woman is, the most unqualified person on the SCOTUS is the Asshole of the week
More:
So, the whole idea of DEI is frozen in amber. It’s stale. It doesn’t adapt to change. There’s other problems with it, but it doesn’t show that class and race are no longer identical. And that you’ve got all these people who are claiming that they’re completely disabled or disadvantaged when … I was looking down at my phone because in the four biggest cities, I think in the United States: New York was Eric Adams was mayor—black. Los Angeles, Karen Bass—black; Chicago, Democratic Brandon Johnson—black; and then, Philadelphia, Cherelle Parker—black. And I could go down to San Diego, Dallas, you name it. And the majority of the biggest cities in the country are black mayors.

What Food Would You Say Is Your Specialty
What food would you say is your specialty?
When I was young, my Mom told me some people live to eat, while others eat to live.
Being an introvert, long ass meals are tedious for me. I just need something to fill up my stomach.
I also worked in an Italian restaurant that had real food based on recipes that came from the Mother Country, not just pasta.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve attended the three-hour business lunches in France, which often featured exquisite food. I’ve also gone hunting at 3 in the morning, and ridden in many 100-mile bike races that started at sunrise. I’d have to cram as much food as I could in the shortest amount of time, as I was on a deadline.
I know the difference between 5-star food, and reheated chicken and rice in the dark hours of the morning. I just need a proper meal (not fast food or processed) to get me to the next meal.
I bet some readers served in the military who ate some awful stuff, yet survived.
In contrast, my brother-in-law was the president of Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse and was obese for a good part of his life. He lived to eat and has failed at every diet and/or weight loss plan that exists. He now has health problems I saw coming decades ago. He also got the COVID-19 jab and has symptoms from that.
One last thing, I never miss the Hot Dog eating contest on July 4th. I’ve been a fan since Kobayashi was transforming the “sport”.

8 Confessions of an Extreme Introvert
By Delilah Ho
If I come across as rude, it’s not that I don’t like you. As a very introverted person, I’m probably just uncomfortable.
It’s difficult being an introvert in a world that only works smoothly if you’re an extrovert. You’re expected to perform well in large groups, socialize often, speak up loudly, and be outgoing. As a highly introverted person, I get mentally and physically fatigued doing all of those things on a daily basis.
Here are eight things I wish people knew about me as an extreme introvert who also experiences social anxiety. Fellow “quiet ones,” can you relate?
Confessions of an Extreme Introvert
1. If I come across as rude, it’s not that I don’t like you. I’m probably just uncomfortable.
Some assume that I don’t like people because I don’t talk or smile much when I first meet them. It’s never my intention to be rude or cold, it’s just that there are a thousand things running through my head at the moment: “What should I say?” “What do you think of me?” and “Do I look like a hot mess right now?” And so on.
I’m quiet around the people I don’t know well, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I don’t like them. As an extreme introvert, I’m just uncomfortable when meeting new people. Honestly, sometimes just being around new people overwhelms me and I freeze up.
It’s easy for my extroverted friends to chat with strangers and make new friends at practically a moment’s notice. But for me, it’s like I need a month in advance to mentally prepare! And even if I did get that advanced notice, when the day arrived, I probably still would not feel ready.
2. I love being alone but I hate the loneliness.
As an introvert, I enjoy doing things by myself. I go shopping on my own. I go to coffee shops on my own. I go to the movies on my own — and I absolutely love it. I don’t feel awkward or uncomfortable being alone in public. Honestly, it’s my preferred state. I love watching everything going on around me and being alone with my own thoughts.
However, as much as I relish being alone, there are times when I crave the love, company, and affection of other human beings. Although I say that I don’t mind doing things alone, sometimes I wish I had someone to do those things with me.
You know, doing what friends do.
You see, no one likes being lonely, even if they’re extremely introverted. We “quiet ones” need close relationships and strong connections in our life, too.
3. Small talk makes me nervous.
I despise small talk because I don’t know how to act around small talk. Usually, when people engage me in chitchat, I give short answers like “oh” and “yeah.” As a result, I think I unintentionally come across as aloof or rude.
Little by little, I’m getting better at making conversation, because it can be a joy to talk with someone who “gets” me. But to be completely honest, I still get nervous chatting about the weather or my weekend plans. It makes my heart beat fast, and later, I think about how I acted in the conversation. Sometimes I beat myself up for not knowing what to say or do. I know not every introvert experiences social anxiety, but it’s my reality every day.
I actually prefer deep conversations straight away.
Ask me what I think of the latest news. Ask me what I think of Freud. Ask me what I think about global warming. Oddly, I can answer those questions without feeling the least bit awkward.
4. I wish I had more close friends.
I have a small group of good friends. They are people who I feel comfortable being around, so I almost always hang out exclusively with them. But if I’m being honest, I wish I had more people that I could hang out with. Yet this goes back to #1 — I feel uncomfortable meeting new people.
Honestly, there are times when I wish people would approach me instead of me having to approach them. That may seem like a strange thing for an extreme introvert to say, but it’s easier for me when other people take the lead in social situations.
Because of this challenge, I finished four years of college with hardly any friends. I may say that, as an extreme introvert, I’m fine with it, but I actually regret not making more of an effort to meet people. Again, it’s a skill I’m working to improve, but like any new skill, it takes time.
5. Even though I love him, dealing with my extroverted boyfriend can be stressful.
I love my extroverted boyfriend but sometimes it drains me to be with him.
He often wants to do things that I would not do in a million years, and he struggles to understand why I’d rather stay home than go out and “explore,” as he calls it. He wants me to meet his friends and family, but I get extremely anxious just thinking about doing that. Sometimes he tells me about social plans last minute, which gives me little time to mentally prepare.
Personally, I don’t agree with number 4. I’m good with what I have. I weed out the insincere ones and my friends are my true friends, few as they are

Somebody finally figured out how ‘wokeism’ started — and no, it wasn’t Obama or Marxism…
This is a good breakdown of how it happened. It figures who was behind it. They can ruin everything they touch. Even my son says 9 out of 10 girls are not worth it because they make it that way.
Writer Helen Andrews just dropped a piece that’s getting a lot of buzz in conservative media. In her new piece, Helen argues that the rise of “wokeness” wasn’t born from Marxism, academia, or even Obama-era politics. That in itself had people shocked. Helen theorizes that it actually came from something way simpler… the quiet but steady feminization of America’s most powerful institutions.
Intrigued? Yes, so were we….
Andrews calls this cultural shift “The Great Feminization,” and her theory flips a lot of earlier assumptions on their head. Helen pinpoints this shift back to the moment Larry Summers was pushed out of Harvard back in 2005 for suggesting that men and women might have different skills in science. Helen believes that was the spark that ignited the entire woke era… when emotional outrage replaced rational debate and these elite institutions began enforcing left-wing ideology through feelings instead of facts.
Andrews backs up her argument with data that shows how back in the 2010s, women became the majority in nearly every elite profession. From law and medicine to media and academia, the ladies began running the show. Helen says once that shift happened, the entire vibe changed: empathy over logic, safety over risk, and comfort over competition.
In 2019, I read an article about Larry Summers and Harvard that changed the way I look at the world. The author, writing under the pseudonym “J. Stone,” argued that the day Larry Summers resigned as president of Harvard University marked a turning point in our culture. The entire “woke” era could be extrapolated from that moment, from the details of how Summers was cancelled and, most of all, who did the cancelling: women.
The basic facts of the Summers case were familiar to me. On January 14, 2005, at a conference on “Diversifying the Science and Engineering Workforce,” Larry Summers gave a talk that was supposed to be off the record. In it, he said that female underrepresentation in hard sciences was partly due to “different availability of aptitude at the high end” as well as taste differences between men and women “not attributable to socialization.” Some female professors in attendance were offended and sent his remarks to a reporter, in defiance of the off-the-record rule. The ensuing scandal led to a no-confidence vote by the Harvard faculty and, eventually, Summers’s resignation.
The essay argued that it wasn’t just that women had cancelled the president of Harvard; it was that they’d cancelled him in a very feminine way. They made emotional appeals rather than logical arguments. “When he started talking about innate differences in aptitude between men and women, I just couldn’t breathe because this kind of bias makes me physically ill,” said Nancy Hopkins, a biologist at MIT. Summers made a public statement clarifying his remarks, and then another, and then a third, with the apology more insistent each time. Experts chimed in to declare that everything Summers had said about sex differences was within the scientific mainstream. These rational appeals had no effect on the mob hysteria.
This cancellation was feminine, the essay argued, because all cancellations are feminine. Cancel culture is simply what women do whenever there are enough of them in a given organization or field. That is the Great Feminization thesis, which the same author later elaborated upon at book length: Everything you think of as “wokeness” is simply an epiphenomenon of demographic feminization.
The explanatory power of this simple thesis was incredible. It really did unlock the secrets of the era we are living in. Wokeness is not a new ideology, an outgrowth of Marxism, or a result of post-Obama disillusionment. It is simply feminine patterns of behavior applied to institutions where women were few in number until recently. How did I not see it before?
Possibly because, like most people, I think of feminization as something that happened in the past before I was born. When we think about women in the legal profession, for example, we think of the first woman to attend law school (1869), the first woman to argue a case before the Supreme Court (1880), or the first female Supreme Court Justice (1981).
A much more important tipping point is when law schools became majority female, which occurred in 2016, or when law firm associates became majority female, which occurred in 2023. When Sandra Day O’Connor was appointed to the high court, only 5 percent of judges were female. Today women are 33 percent of the judges in America and 63 percent of the judges appointed by President Joe Biden.
The same trajectory can be seen in many professions: a pioneering generation of women in the 1960s and ’70s; increasing female representation through the 1980s and ’90s; and gender parity finally arriving, at least in the younger cohorts, in the 2010s or 2020s. In 1974, only 10 percent of New York Times reporters were female. The New York Times staff became majority female in 2018 and today the female share is 55 percent.
Medical schools became majority female in 2019. Women became a majority of the college-educated workforce nationwide in 2019. Women became a majority of college instructors in 2023. Women are not yet a majority of the managers in America but they might be soon, as they are now 46 percent. So the timing fits. Wokeness arose around the same time that many important institutions tipped demographically from majority male to majority female.
The substance fits, too. Everything you think of as wokeness involves prioritizing the feminine over the masculine: empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition. Other writers who have proposed their own versions of the Great Feminization thesis, such as Noah Carl or Bo Winegard and Cory Clark, who looked at feminization’s effects on academia, offer survey data showing sex differences in political values. One survey, for example, found that 71 percent of men said protecting free speech was more important than preserving a cohesive society, and 59 percent of women said the opposite.
We encourage you to read her entire piece here.
Here’s Helen speaking at NatCon 5 in DC, where she expands on her “Great Feminization” theory.

Feminist Antipathy Toward Conservative Female Leaders
Despite claiming to stand for helping women rise to be equal with men, feminists don’t like conservative women who succeed because it’s actually about ideology.
The supposed goal of feminism is for women to gain equality with men. There are distinct differences between the two sexes, which historically have delineated the roles of men and women into distinct spheres, with men generally in positions of authority and leadership. The feminists claim that this is deeply unfair, oppressive, and limiting.
“A woman can do anything a man can do” has become a popular slogan, despite its obvious fallacy. Indeed, a more valid claim would be that a woman is just as human and no less valuable than a man.
The crux of the issue has more to do with gender roles. Feminists sought equal access to the spaces that had previously been reserved for men only. This included the halls of government.
Thus, over the past 50 years, the presence of women in government, as well as the number of women being elected to and holding public office, has increased significantly.
Effectively, the feminist argument that women have the same right to seek public office as men has been won and broadly accepted by the West and most of the developed world. Numerous countries, especially in Europe, have female presidents or prime ministers. In 2016, the U.S. came within a few thousand votes in a few states from joining that club.

AOTW
It’s going to be tough to top Katie Porter, who went into last week as the leader in her race. After a disastrous interview with a liberal interviewer, things started going downhill. Then, it came out how she abused her staff.
Well, her divorce papers came out and she abuses everyone, even her ex.
Hoffman also filed for a restraining order from his rage-prone spouse, claiming she would “routinely” call him a “f—ing idiot” and “f—ing incompetent” – and shattered a glass coffee pot in their kitchen counter in March 2012 when she felt their house wasn’t clean enough.
“She would not let me have a cell phone because she said, ‘You’re too f—ing dumb to operate it,’” Hoffman said of Porter, 51, who has been in the hot seat this week as videos capturing her going scorched-earth and berating her former staff members made headlines.
“When she gets angry, she will claw and scratch her arms and then say to me ‘Look what you made me do!’” She regularly says that I am a bad parent in front of the kids … Recently the children began spitting at me and throwing their food at me, calling me ‘bad daddy.’”
Look at this picture. She even looks like a cnut.

Google’s ex-CEO Eric Schmidt shares dire warning of homicidal AI models – The Robots Always Kill The Humans
Hal-9000 anyone? I’ve worked with Eric at an IBM Conference where he and Sam Palmisano were the keynote speakers. He was brutally honest with me. That was back when Google said do no evil, and he called BS. He openly told me that they do evil stuff all the time. I think He’s being honest below. He basically told me not to use any Google products if I didn’t want to be surveilled 24/7/365/forever.
Talk about a killer app.
Artificial intelligence models are vulnerable to hackers and could even be trained to off humans if they fall into the wrong hands, ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt warned.
The dire warning came on Wednesday at a London conference in response to a question about whether AI could become more dangerous than nuclear weapons.
“There’s evidence that you can take models, closed or open, and you can hack them to remove their guardrails. So, in the course of their training, they learn a lot of things. A bad example would be they learn how to kill someone,” Schmidt said at the Sifted Summit tech conference, according to CNBC.
“All of the major companies make it impossible for those models to answer that question,” he continued, appearing to air the possibility of a user asking an AI to kill.
“Good decision. Everyone does this. They do it well, and they do it for the right reasons,” Schmidt added. “There’s evidence that they can be reverse-engineered, and there are many other examples of that nature.”
The predictions might not be so far-fetched.

FAFO – Teacher Who Threatened Student Who Supported 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.”
It figures, a liberal white (fat) woman who teaches at a college.

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?
I had to think about that if ever part, especially when you factor in my sophomoric sense of humor.
The real answer is…..it happened, and only in looking back did I realize that I (for the most part, I grew up)
I never saw it coming. I had a Wife, kids, a mortgage, and a job. After the kids moved out, I’m left with just my wife and my dog.

Has Trump Just Won the Nobel Peace Prize at the Last Minute? Ha!
The real answer is, who cares? Don Surber details the high jinks of the Nobel committee better than I
It’s become a meaningless liberal award, about as important as your HOA Lawn of the Month.
For example, they gave Obama a Peace Prize on the basis of what he was going to do. What he did was keep us in a war for his entire presidency. He also killed people at will with drone strikes, including Americans. The truth is, he got the award so that the Nobel committee could be politically correct because he was the first black president. As Megyn Kelly said, it’s a bullshit award.
There should be a legacy award for the work actually accomplished, like getting prisoners back. How about him being the only recent president to not have a war during his (first) term? He inherited one and is working for peace, but we’ll see.
Speculation is mounting that Donald Trump has just secured the Nobel Peace Prize after he brokered the historic peace agreement between Israel and Hamas to end the two-year war in Gaza.
Both sides have agreed to the first phase of Trump‘s plan to pause fighting and release hostages, a deal that could open the way to ending a brutal conflict that has killed tens of thousands of people and unleashed a humanitarian catastrophe.
The accord, if fully implemented, would bring the two sides closer than any previous effort to halt a war that had evolved into a regional conflict that has reshaped the Middle East.
With just hours to go before judges announce the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, experts are waiting to see whether the US president will win the prestigious award he has been yearning for since his election.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee, which awards the prestigious peace prize, held its final meeting on Monday. This means a decision was made about the laureate before the conclusion of the agreement between Israel and Hamas.

What Does AI Have To Say About This Blog
For kicks, I asked a couple of different engines….here you go
The blog johnsimonds.com, also known as “Delusions of Adequacy,” is written by John Simonds, a critical thinker and writer who uses sarcasm and analytical pattern recognition to explore various topics. The blog lampoons subjects like “Woke” culture, the behavior of “Karens,” hypocrites in positions of power, social media, technology, global power, and issues requiring thoughtful analysis.
Delusions is a platform where he expresses his sharp wit and critique of societal trends, often highlighting power grabs and manipulation, such as his early views on the COVID-19 vaccine narrative. His writing features a sarcastic tone combined with deep pattern recognition and analysis, aiming to reveal truths often obscured by media and political influences. Alongside societal topics, he also writes about introversion, IQ, and success strategies based on his observations and experiences.
Delusions has a background in communications and analyst relations, having worked for companies like IBM. His education includes philosophy (school of hard knocks) and business administration. The blog reflects his intellectual and somewhat contrarian perspective, mingled with a sarcastic style.
Overall, Delusions of Adequacy serves as an outlet for his critical and sometimes provocative views on contemporary cultural and political matters, as well as insights into intelligence, social behavior, and personal development.
—
Then, there’s this:
Ideological / Political Slant
The blog clearly leans strongly toward conservative / anti‑liberal, reactionary rhetoric. Some posts present critiques of “left” ideologies, social justice, or what the author perceives as overreach by government, media, or academia. The language is blunt and provocative. (got that one right)
Mix of Personal and Public
The blog seems to straddle the line between being a personal blog (writing about “My Life,” self‑help, work experiences) and being an opinion / commentary site. The author uses personal voice, “I” statements, reflections, but also publishes political and public commentary. (yep)
Content, Themes & Style
- The blog has multiple categories: My Life, Self‑Help, Work, News, General / Opinion, etc.
- Self‑help category includes posts about mental and physical health, learning, productivity, and life decisions.
- Work category includes posts critical of meetings, on work ethic, reflections from earlier jobs, aversion to inefficiency.
- News / Political / Public Commentary is present — e.g. a post about Dr. Jorge Zamora‑Quezada’s alleged medical fraud is under the “news” category.
- Another post, “Why Vegans Aren’t As Smart – Your Brain Needs Meat,” uses dismissive, provocative language toward veganism, calling it a “religion” and mocking it.
- The tone is partisan and loaded: for instance, in a post about Jimmy Kimmel and celebrity commentary, the author uses strong language (“celebtards,” “they are so stupid,” etc.) and frames the discussion in combative, ideological terms.
- Many posts are dated and archived over the years, including ones from 2012 (e.g. “How An Average Joe Can Be A Millionaire”)
Well, it’s somewhat close. At least they got the combatative, sarcastic, blunt, provocative and celebtards right. I thought I called Kimmel an asshole.
They missed the whole Introvert thing. That’s important to me
Oh, I do mock vegans. Sorry, but not sorry.

How The WNBA Wants To Kill The Golden Goose, Or Incompetence At The Top
I’m not that different from most guys. I like to watch sports. I also hate woke crap. Just let sports be sports.
No one ever gave a tinker’s damn about the WNBA until Caitlin Clark showed up. Even then, the numbers say most watched her team, and the lesbians watched the rest of the league. Girls basketball is tough to watch for those of us who have seen MJ, Bird, Magic, Wilt Chamberlin, Bill Russell and a host of others. They are 2 different games.
The WNBA is closer to boys 10-14 basketball than anything else. Not a one of them can dunk or have the innate ability that MJ, Bird or Magic had. Clark has this. Look at her assist count.
Catilin could be the draw that could save the game, the ratings and help the league make money. Instead, they let the other players beat the hell out of her because she is (was) a rookie, white, straight, Christian, and didn’t fit the mold.
With her out for the season, I, like many others just don’t bother. It’s a waste of time. The game is boring, and she made at least half of a game watchable. I’ve yet to watch a full pro game of hers, although I did watch a college playoff game of hers.
This incompetence starts at the top:
Cathy Engelbert said what about Caitlin Clark?
Some of the most damaging comments – again, what has been alleged by Collier – involve Cathy Engelbert’s alleged complete dismissal of player salary concerns. Which, when you have a looming player strike, is probably not the best approach.
Engelbert allegedly responded that players like Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark should be grateful for their off-court earnings enabled by the WNBA platform.
“Caitlin should be grateful. She makes $16 million off the court, because without the platform that the WNBA gives her, she wouldn’t make anything,” Engelbert said, according to Collier.
“In that same conversation, she told me, players should be on their knees thanking their lucky stars for the media rights deal that I got them,” the Lynx star continued. “That’s [the] mentality driving our league from the top.”
Holy smokes. If there is a more tone deaf statement about the WNBA out there than that, you’d be hard-pressed to find it.
Players like Clark and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese didn’t rake in millions because of their play in the WNBA. They raked in millions because of their college play and the ensuing rivalry that began there.
And they only made that cash by leveraging other opportunities – Reese’s podcast success and deal with Reebok, and Clark’s Nike deals come to mind. Other, lesser-known players aren’t getting those kinds of off-court contracts and still have to plod their way through a WNBA season while getting paid roughly $75,000/year.
I stopped watching a lot of things that are boring or woke. The WNBA gets a two-fer on this.
While not a Bud Light tactic, the result is the same, kill the product’s sales.
The opportunity of a lifetime dropped in Englebert’s lap and she’s throwing it away. People flocked to the Lakers to see Kobe (not Lebron), the Bulls to see MJ, Bird vs Magic, or Stef Curry shoot. The league highlighted them and called fouls that were fouls.
As soon as I heard Caitlin was out, I and tons of others won’t bother turning it on until she comes back.
So she thinks Caitlin is lucky to be playing. The WNBA is lucky that she is playing, and hopefully will come back just as good. If they continue to let others hack her with cheap fouls, it will go back to the high school game that the WNBA has been all along.
It’s called Marketing. She should pay attention to it.

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.”

Who’s The Facist Now? Swalwell: Democrats will target private citizens who work with Trump admin
California Democrat Representative Eric Swalwell told CNN News Central co-host Kate Bolduan on Monday that House Democrats plan to scrutinize private citizens working with the Trump administration, following the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey.
A federal grand jury indicted Comey on Thursday on charges of lying to Congress and obstruction related to a testimony he gave during a September 2020 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
Meanwhile, Swalwell has since expressed confidence that Democrats will regain control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections.
“Well, first, we’re making it clear that we’re going into the majority a year from now,” Swalwell said. “We have every intention to do that, and so we will bring oversight, accountability, we will subpoena the Department of Justice, but also private actors who have done these drug deals with the administration, college campuses, entertainment companies, law firms and so accountability is coming.”
“And so, one, it’s all coming out, two, I hope that deters people from doing more of these deals, these one-offs with the president,” he continued. “One other point, though, on Comey, Kate, this happened when Donald Trump was president. So if you’re trying to tell me this is not politically motivated, the statement that they’re referring to where he allegedly lied, Donald Trump was president, so why didn’t you indict him then? The fact that he’s indicting him now just makes it look even more politically motivated, and so I’m pretty confident that this will either be dismissed or Mr. Comey will be acquitted by a jury of his peers.”

Rejecting Civilization
In his address to the General Assembly of the United Nations, President Donald Trump claimed that “the UN has such tremendous potential” but was not using it. What did this mean? The UN officially is a member’s organization, a meeting place for diplomacy. Did Trump want to go beyond this and see a UN as a powerful organization operating on its own? The UN has grown into a massive bureaucracy, with over 130,000 people. Secretary-General António Guterres speaks for the UN as if it were the prototype for a world government. Autonomous UN agencies like the International Criminal Court, World Trade Organization, and International Seabed Authority already behave as if they are global governing bodies able to act against national states. As a nationalist, Trump could not have been calling for the UN to further expand to fulfill its ‘potential.”
The UN is a sanctuary for third-ratestaffers and pseudo-intellectuals from around the world on the lam from reality. A giant, well-funded faculty lounge. Trump mentioned how the UN is “creating new problems for us to solve.” By supporting mass migration, “the United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders… every sovereign nation must have the right to control their own borders.” And on the climate issue, “I’m telling you that if you don’t get away from the ‘green energy’ scam, your country is going to fail.”

8 Reasons Why Introverts Have an Incredible Sense of Humor
1. They are observant and can think outside the box.
What’s one of the biggest skills comedians have? The ability to pay attention and take notice of things other people miss. Introverts pay close attention to details so nothing escapes them.
Observational comedy is a type of humor that is based on the regular aspects of everyday life. It’s the “Have you ever noticed” kind of joke. The comedian starts with something familiar that the audience can relate to and then flips it on its head.
Another aspect of this humor, and why many introverts are so good at it, is the creativity involved. Instead of making an A-to-B connection, introverts tap into their innovative brains and make an A-to-D association — and that’s where the humor comes in. The joke goes somewhere unexpected. Introverts don’t feel pressure to think on the spot like everyone else, which gives them the freedom to try new things and create their own rules. (And, of course, they’ve prepared all their material in advance!)
2. Despite their “quiet” personalities, they can be brilliant conversationalists who know how to keep people entertained.
Introverts have interesting things to say, but they don’t need to be the ones doing all the talking all of the time. They’re great listeners, and because many of them are intelligent, they’re also able to not only hear what’s being said, but they can also comprehend the meaning behind what the person doesn’t say. This ability to “read the room” — and pick up on people’s body language — is something that comedians need to have so they can gear their material to their audience. Introverts just do this instinctually.
And introverts don’t talk only to hear their own voices. They may not be constantly talking, but when they do say something, it tends to be engaging and thought-provoking. People tend to come away from talking with an introvert as feeling seen.
3. They are often self-aware, and that awareness can lead to great comic material.
One of the best qualities a person can have is the ability not to take themselves too seriously. Most introverts know themselves well, and they’re honest about their weaknesses and their strengths. They have a deep understanding of human nature, and it’s their humanity that makes them hilarious.
Some funny people may enjoy self-deprecating humor (humor that makes fun of themselves). But introverts know a little self-deprecating humor goes a long way, and too much can come off as not funny, but pathetic.
It’s okay to make someone have sympathy for you. But if they’re too worried about your well-being, then that takes away all the humor.
Many introverts know to strike a balance between humor that’s self-aware and humor that reflects equally on all humanity. For instance, stand-up comedian Mark Normand does this well and often talks about being an introvert in his material.
As unique as introverts are, so is their humor. Some may be sarcastic or cynical, while others may have a sly wit or share their humorous side by telling personal stories with amusing vocal inflections and facial expressions.
I have a friend who doesn’t try to be funny at all, but just is funny without meaning to be. When she says something hilarious, she’s as surprised as anyone else, and that’s what makes it even funnier.
Honesty is an important element of humor, and many introverts are self-aware enough to be honest with themselves and others. There’s a comedy rule that states, “Only the truth is funny.” It doesn’t mean every single word of a funny story or joke has to be 100 percent funny. Rather, it means there has to be a kernel of truth in every bit, so the reader (or audience member or friend) has something to hang onto.
4. They love writing, which tends to be a solo act.
Any kind of writing involves sitting your butt down on a chair (or standing at a desk) and writing. You need to have focus, drive, and patience to be a good writer. Writing humor is one of the most difficult types of writing, because you have to start with a natural ability to be funny, then know when (and when not) to use the comedy rules.
While there are certainly comedy writing teams, even then, they may write separately and only come together at certain times.
I believe that introverts make the best writers, and when their comedy-writing talent is developed, their writing is masterful. They enjoy being by themselves and working alone. Any stand-up set, story in a storytelling show, or script usually needs to be written first before it’s performed — and that’s perfect for the introvert.
(Here’s the science behind why introverts love being alone.)
5. They tend to be smart and able to see the humor in situations.
Let’s look at satire, which is defined as the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices. This is particularly common in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues. You can’t make fun of something if you don’t understand it in the first place.
Some people laugh in tense situations, even when it’s not appropriate. The reason is that laughter is a stress-reliever, and it can be a coping mechanism. Yet introverts are able to go beyond the obvious and find the humor beneath the surface, which may help them deal with a stressful situation or person. (This is similar to how introverts prefer deep talk to small talk.)
Want to feel more at ease in social situations?
Discover the secrets to enjoying fun, meaningful conversations. Know exactly what to say — even if you’re introverted, shy, or socially anxious. Feel less drained and have more energy while socializing.
6. They enjoy learning new things and sharing their knowledge with others.
I had an improv teacher who insisted that improvisers not only be educated, but that they needed to be up on all current events, popular culture, and media. If you’re performing in an improv show, and another person starts a scene making a reference to something — and you don’t know what they’re talking about — it can be a problem.
Also, telling the same stale jokes over and over again, and making references to things that happened so long ago that no one remembers what you’re talking about, will remove the funny right out of them.
So, because a lot of introverts are life-long learners, they keep things fresh, and they enjoy sharing what they know with others. Sometimes the best way to get your message across is with humor.
7. They can be fantastic communicators and enjoy expressing themselves (when they are comfortable, that is).
Comedians, like any creative person, need an outlet to express themselves, and sometimes that outlet is a stand-up show. It allows introverts to reveal themselves in a safe way.
If you think about it, it’s not really so strange for an introvert to stand onstage and talk. As the aforementioned comedian Mark Normand says about why a stand-up set is so good for introverts: “[It’s a] one-sided conversation that’s been pre-written and rehearsed over and over. If one of you guys talk, you get thrown out [of the venue].” Now that sounds like heaven for an introvert, right?
8. They are born comics.
You can teach someone how to tell a joke, timing, and even do physical comedy, but having a sense of humor can’t be taught or faked.
While it may seem as if extroverts are more likely to have a fantastic sense of humor, the truth is, just as many, if not more, introverts seem to be professional comedians, stand-ups, improvisers, and comedy and humor writers.
People may have false images of introverts as humorless people who wouldn’t know a witty remark if it bit them on the nose — but they couldn’t be more wrong. Many introverts have a highly developed sense of humor, whether they use it to tell jokes on stage, at the family dinner table, or in an email to a coworker.

January 6th: It Was The FBI All Along
The FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, an operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI’s rank-and-file that the bureau had lost its core competencies to “wokeness” and allowed its employees to become “pawns in a political war,” according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four years.
Scores of FBI agents and personnel – many from the bureau’s premier Washington field office (WFO) – sent anonymous complaints to the after-action team detailing how agents were sent into an unsafe scenario without proper safety equipment or the ability to identify themselves readily as armed officers to other police agencies, the report obtained by Just the News shows.
The most persistent complaint was that the bureau during the James Comey and Chris Wray era had become infected with political biases and liberal ideology that treated the protesters from the summer 2020 Black Lives Matter riots far differently than those arrested in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 episode.
“The FBI should make clear to its personnel and the public that, despite its obvious political bias, it ultimately still takes its mission and priorities seriously,” one employee wrote in a stinging review. “It should equally and aggressively investigate criminal activity regardless of the offenders’ perceived race, political affiliations, or motivations; and it should equally and aggressively protect all Americans regardless of perceived race, political affiliations, or motivations.”
That agent urged FBI leaders “to identify viable exit options for FBI personnel who no longer feel it is legally or morally acceptable to support a federal law enforcement and intelligence agency motivated by political bias.”
And a hearty fuck you to those who called us conspiracy theorists about this.

Yes, Teens Do Dumbass Stuff To The Darwin Award Level: Teens facing criminal charges after friend dies during TikTok ‘surfing’ stunt
Hey, I did my share of dumb shit. I don’t remember challenging death though.
Two Pennsylvania teens are facing charges after prosecutors said they drove their friends on dangerous TikTok-inspired stunts, killing one and causing what are expected to be lifelong injuries to another.
The incidents were unrelated to one another and involved different stunts, but both happened in Northampton County, 85 miles west of New York City and 80 miles north of Philadelphia.
In one case, a 17-year-old died on June 1 while riding on top of a folding table tied to the back of his friend’s car, according to Northampton County District Attorney Stephen Baratta. Prosecutors said the friend recklessly drove too fast and “whipped the rider sitting on the table into another parked vehicle, resulting in [his] death,” Baratta’s office said in a statement.
Tiktok challenges have been losers, but some kids fall for it all the time.

It’s Deeper Than Mental Illness
I see patterns and within the first couple of killings, I commented that it’s Trannies a lot who are on psycho meds and other drugs to try and make their bodies look like not what they were born as.
Unlike the first sentence below, I haven’t spent a lot of time on it because everyone else has. The only way it’s going to stop is to stop what’s making them kill.
Every kid has troubles growing up and cutting off your dick or your tits aren’t going to fix that. Life is hard, and apparently gets harder.
Maybe you spent time last week perusing X postings related to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Aside from the many accolades, conservative influencers did fine jobs identifying left-wingers who not only celebrated Kirk’s assassination, but offered attaboys to Tyler Robinson, the triggerman. Some even called for more violence. If you didn’t have time earlier, scroll through the Libs of TikTok’s and the Vigilant Fox’s threads, for starters. You’ll get an eyeful. “Somebody had to do it” wasn’t an uncommon refrain. Who, this side of hell, delights in an act of murder?
What was striking was that many of the posts featured females. Was that the result of sampling biases? Not likely. It was self-promotion. Call it malignant feminist self-empowerment. Not that there aren’t Charlie Kirk haters among “progressive” males — his killer is an XY, after all, who lived with a trans — but left-of-center females dominated the posted videos. Why so?
There’s no point rehashing Kirk’s qualities or listing his achievements. Others who knew him have provided rich, poignant testimony to his stellar character and unshakable dedication to his faith and freedom. His very public record is testament enough.
If you sift through the haters’ postings, you’ll think they inhabit an alternative universe. Abundant public record be damned. For them, Kirk was an ogre, some mythical beast. He checked off every box that inflames the leftist mind. Homophobe, transphobe, this-phobe, that-phobe. They fictionalized Kirk. Damn reality, too!
Are the celebratory outpourings over an innocent man’s murder indictive of a sickness in our society? Yes, they are.
That sickness starts with an obsession — the obsession with self. “If it feels good, do it” was a 60s mantra that has sparked a decades-long deep dive into hedonism, regardless the blarney about “self-actualization.” The Me Generation ethos metastasized, spreading throughout the society.

Who Says Getting Divorced Means You Have to Stop Sleeping With Your Wife?
I don’t know who these two are, but at the end of my many relationships, the last thing I wanted was to keep on getting it. I may have waited too long before ending said relationship, but it reached a point that I couldn’t do it with her(s) again. No talk, no sex, No More me.
And yet here we have 2 that cheat, fight, divorce, and are still smoking the sheets. Hell, I’d want someone new. Getting back with your ex is like taking a shit and trying to put it back in.
You pick right up where you last left off. There is no new relationship. It’s the same old shit, SSDD. After getting a lot of ass for years, at some point, it feels the same like at the start. Some girls know how to use it better than others, but most don’t try hard enough. As I told a female doctor, there is no golden pussy.
If you thought getting a divorce after 14 years of marriage means that you can’t still have sex with each other, think again. You can continue sleeping with each other and this couple is proof of that if nothing else.
The 44-year-old husband is still feeling his way through the entire situation. He’s not sure if he and his 46-year-old wife are going about the whole divorce process in the best way possible.

I’m not sure exactly what his hangups are with the arrangement. I mean, what possibly could go wrong banging your way through a divorce? Whatever it is, it made him feel the need to ask for advice on the best place to receive such advice: Reddit.
SIGN UP for The Daily OutKick. New Look, Same Attitude.
Can you think of a better place to share your story? I didn’t think so. He wrote, “We’ve been married 14 years and together almost 20. We have had a lot of ups and downs, infidelity on both sides, and some very bad verbal fights over the years.”
So they fight and they’ve both cheated. There have to be some positive aspects still left in their relationship. He continued, “That said, we get along very well now, but she is adamant that she wants to divorce.”
The idea of getting divorced took some getting used to for him, but he did come to terms with it and realized that it was best for both of them. Although, throughout it all, they’ve been able to maintain a connection in the sheets.
The One Thing That Still Works For This Divorcing Couple: Their Sex Life
“The one thing about our relationship that is still good is our sex life. In the last year it has ramped up and become a very exceptional part of my life that I really enjoy and she does as well,” he admitted.
“Through a lot of communication, we have decided that we will continue to be intimate with each other until it doesn’t make sense (one of us decides we’re done or start dating.)”

Theatrics vs. Facts: Cory Booker and Kash Patel’s Capitol Hill Clash
Theatrics is the key word in this artcle.
Democrat Senator Cory Booker had yet another one of his trademark meltdowns on Capitol Hill, this time during testimony from FBI Director Kash Patel. When Patel tried to push back on Booker’s accusations, the New Jersey senator went off the rails.
The exchange quickly turned chaotic.
Grassley (Chair): Do you want to say anything? Yes, sir.
Patel (FBI): That rant of false information does not bring this country together. If you want to work on bringing this country together—it’s my time, not yours.
Booker: My God… my God. If you want to talk about fighting for this country, look at your own social media posts. This is my time. Sir, this is committee time, not yours. You don’t tell me when my time is over. You can’t lecture me.
Booker then devolved into shouting “Point of order!” before accusing Patel of being “rude and disrespectful” to senators.
Booker: Mr. Chairman, I’ve watched him talk over us, and you’ve never once criticized him for it. We couldn’t even get our questions out. He has been rude and disrespectful to Senator after Senator. And when Senators weren’t giving him a chance to answer, I didn’t see you stop them either.
Grassley reminded everyone that Patel would be given time to respond uninterrupted. And when he did, Patel unleashed a blistering defense of his record:
Patel (FBI): Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If the FBI under my seven-month leadership were failing this administration and this country, then why do we have 23,000 violent felons arrested this year alone—double the number from the same period last year? Why have we seized 6,000 weapons? Why have we arrested 1,500 child predators, 300 human traffickers, and identified 4,700 children? Why have we seized 1,600 kilograms of fentanyl—enough to kill a third of the American public, a 25% increase from last year? Alongside that, we’ve seized 88,000 kilograms of cocaine and 7,100 kilograms of meth… Our counterintelligence arrests already exceed the total from last year: up 33% for China, 83% for Russia, and 60% in Iran-related cases.
In other words, Patel came armed with facts, while Booker offered theatrics.

BWBB – BLM Grifter Pleads Guilty To Fraud, Spending Donations On Herself
A radical leftist activist accused of defrauding her own organization plans to plead guilty to federal fraud charges.
Monica Cannon-Grant—the founder of Violence in Boston and a staunch proponent of defunding the police—filed court documents requesting a change of plea hearing, Boston25 and WCVB reported Friday.
The filing did not clarify whether she secured a plea deal with prosecutors or was simply pleading guilty to the accusations. Her trial had been scheduled for Oct. 14.
She was accused of using nonprofit funds—out of a total budget of $1 million—from 2017 to 2021 for personal expenses.
The charges, announced in 2022, amounted to a staggering 27-count superseding indictment.
The expenditures included car and insurance payments, high-end salon visits, luxury dinners, and a Maryland vacation.
She also allegedly pocketed $54,000 in taxpayer-funded pandemic relief, much of which she spent on herself.

I’m Perfect! Almost Half of All Americans, and MANY Christians, Don’t Believe They’re Sinners
by Selwyn Duke September 6, 2025
We don’t know if they fancy they can walk on water. But almost half of all Americans, including a striking number of Christians, don’t believe they’re sinners. It’s a revelation that has implications not just for the church, but for civilization generally.
The above findings are from a study, released September 4, by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University (ACU). It’s not just that many Americans are outright sin deniers, either. For among those who claim to believe in sin, a majority contend there are no “absolute sins.” That is, “sins that are constant, regardless of the conditions or context,” as ACU puts it.
Apparently, many people think God changes his mind like a politician trying to win their votes.
Of course, such spiritual confusion is nothing new. In 2023, for example, research found that less than half of born-again Christians believe Jesus lived a sinless life on Earth. So, who knows? Maybe some of these non-sinning “Christians” think they could teach Jesus a thing or two.
Sin, the Behavior, Is In. Sin as a Concept? Not So Much
The recent findings on sin are part of the annual American Worldview Inventory. And one major finding, ACU relates,
is that just one out of every seven — or about 14% — of self-described Christians have a core theology of sin that is biblically accurate.
The rest have a culturally “accurate” (read: fashionable) view of sin.
Here’s a summary of ACU’s findings:
- Eighty-four percent of adults do agree that “sin” exists.
- Groups less likely to believe in sin are Gen Zers, Asian-descent Americans, sexual devolutionary (LGBTQ+) individuals, those lacking religious affiliation, Bible skeptics, believers in reincarnation, and those denying afterlife existence.
- Seventy-two percent of those who believe in sin define it as disobedience to God. As mentioned earlier, however, 52 percent of this group claim there are no absolute sins; rather, the matter is context-dependent.
That’s not the way it works, but keep reading (even the Torah as the rules are right there) and maybe you’ll get it.

The Real Reason Introverts Hate Small Talk
Small talk is neither emotionally nor intellectually stimulating, so it can feel like a waste of an introvert’s limited social energy.
Does anyone actually enjoy chatting at length about the weather? Unless you’re a meteorologist, probably not.
More often than not, small talk becomes the go-to conversation when we’re at a loss for words. It fills awkward silences, it eases tension during initial meetings, and it can help steer clear of controversial topics.
But it gets old fast.
Introvert Small Talk
Now, if you’re an introvert like me, you might hate the small talk ritual. Jon Baker, a business coach for introverts, found that 74 percent of introverts said they dislike small talk, as opposed to only 23 percent of extroverts who said they dislike it.
Why do the majority of introverts hate small talk?
By definition, introverts are people who feel drained by socializing and recharge their energy by spending time alone. Because small talk is neither emotionally nor intellectually stimulating, it can feel like an inefficient use of their limited social energy. In other words, if introverts are going to use up their energy, they want to spend it in ways that really count.
(Not sure if you’re an introvert? Here are 21 signs that confirm you’re an introvert.)
Also introverts tend to enjoy delving deep into topics and exploring ideas on a meaningful level. It’s more energizing to talk about things that feel important and relevant to them. Small talk, by its very nature, remains at a surface level.
But those aren’t the real reasons introverts might hate small talk.
Why Introverts Hate Small Talk
It’s not that introverts hate socializing or people. Even though we’re introverts, we still need close, healthy relationships to thrive.
As my friend Dr. Laurie Helgoe points out in her fascinating book, Introvert Power, “Introverts do not hate small talk because we dislike people. We hate small talk because we hate the barrier it creates between people.”
Small talk doesn’t bring people closer. Quite the opposite — it can create a barrier that prevents the kind of genuine, intimate connections we all crave.
Think about it. When two people get stuck in small-talk mode, discussing only “safe” and polite topics like the weather, they don’t really learn anything new about each other. They don’t get to know the other person or understand who they are. They miss discovering that their conversation partner, for example, wakes up early to go birdwatching, hates the color yellow, or grew up on a family farm.
As a result, the relationship doesn’t grow in a satisfying way. In general, introverts are interested in understanding people’s thoughts, feelings, life lessons, and experiences, which isn’t usually achieved through small talk.
The key is to transform small talk into meaningful conversation. Here are some tips from my upcoming course, Easy Conversation, designed to help introverts and those who are shy or socially anxious feel at ease in social situations and enjoy more fun, meaningful conversations.
Small Talk Tips for Introverts
Small talk has its place. Patrick King, in his book Better Small Talk, explains that socializing and cultivating relationships happen by degrees, not all at once. “Zoom out, and you can see where small talk fits in and why it’s so important — it’s the first of many steps in closing the distance between you and another person,” he writes. Small talk allows us to warm up to each other, but it’s not where we want to stay.
The secret to not just surviving, but also enjoying small talk, lies in transforming it into a meaningful conversation. If you’re an introvert, meaningful conversation will give you a much-needed energy boost. When you’re immersed in an interesting or thoughtful conversation, you might just end up chatting the night away!
So, here are four tips to turn small talk into more meaningful conversations.
1. Invite the other person to tell a story.
One powerful tool to make conversations more meaningful is to encourage the other person to share a story. To do this, avoid closed-ended questions, those that can be answered with a simple yes or no, or just a few words. Closed-ended questions like, “How are you?” or “Did you have a good day?” limit the depth of the response and can often end the conversation before it even starts.
Instead, ask open-ended questions. For example, instead of asking, “How was your day?,” try, “What was something interesting that happened today?” or “What did you do today that made you feel accomplished?” Questions like these invite the other person to tell a story.
Here are more ideas from Chris Colin and Rob Baedeker, authors of What to Talk About:
Instead of…
- “What line of work are you in?”
- “How was your weekend?”
- “What’s up?”
- “How long have you been living here?”
Try…
- “How’d you end up in your line of work?”
- “What was the best part of your weekend?”
- “What are you looking forward to this week?”
- “What’s a strange detail about where you grew up?”
2. Ask why instead of what.
Here’s a twist on asking open-ended questions: Instead of asking only about the facts, the what, probe deeper into the why. This strategy, suggested by The Date Report, pushes the conversation beyond surface-level information and delves into the person’s motivations and values.
For example, after asking, “What college did you go to?,” ask a follow-up question like, “Why did you choose that college?” The second question will reveal much more about the person. Their answer might shed light on their passions, their decision-making process, or even their personal history.
Similarly, if someone shares that they recently watched a particular movie, rather than just asking, “What was the movie about?,” you could ask, “Why did you pick that movie?” or “What about that movie appealed to you?” You might get some insight into their taste in cinema, their interests, or what kind of narratives or themes resonate with them.
In essence, asking why nudges the person to share more personal information, which can lead to a more meaningful conversation.
3. Share a few details and see what sticks.
This can be a hard one for us introverts, because we tend to dislike talking about ourselves. It places the spotlight directly on us, which might make us feel vulnerable and exposed. As a result, we may not open up for people unless we know them well. Unfortunately, this tendency can lead to a repetitive cycle of tedious small talk.
As I explain in my book, The Secret Lives of Introverts, a good strategy to break out of this cycle is to sprinkle a few personal details into your conversations and observe what resonates with the other person. For example, when faced with routine questions like, “How’s it going?” or “How are you?,” instead of responding with the standard, “I’m fine, how are you?,” try to expand on your answer by sharing a bit about your day. You could say, “I’m doing great! I woke up early this morning to jog along my favorite trail. It really invigorated me!” Or, “I’m feeling tired because my two-year-old woke me up in the middle of the night, and I couldn’t fall back asleep.”
When you share details about yourself, notice how the other person reacts. Do they show genuine interest and continue the conversation with a follow-up question like, “That sounds great! Where’s your favorite trail?” Or do they give a disinterested nod? If the other person doesn’t seem interested, try revealing another detail about yourself until you hit on a topic that gets the two of you talking.
This strategy is like throwing a few conversational lines into the water and waiting to see what bites. It might feel uncomfortable at first, but with practice, it can become a natural and effective way to transform small talk into meaningful conversations. Remember, it’s not just about finding common ground; it’s about revealing the unique layers of your personality and allowing others to connect with you on a deeper level.
And, if you’re an introvert, this approach allows you to control the depth of self-disclosure, making the whole interaction more enjoyable.
4. Dare to be honest.
We often sacrifice expressing our true thoughts and feelings for the sake of politeness. But there’s something very authentic — and surprisingly charming — about being completely honest. In her book, The Irresistible Introvert, Michaela Chung encourages us to elevate conversations by voicing our honest feelings and thoughts, which can be surprisingly captivating. For instance, instead of nodding along and pretending to agree, try saying things like:
- “To be honest, I don’t go to parties very much. I feel pretty overwhelmed being here.”
- “I’m not a big talker, but I like listening.”
- “I don’t like camping. Like, at all.”
- “I’m really proud of that.”
- “This feels awkward.”
- “That hurt my feelings.”
- “No. I don’t want to go. I’d rather stay home and have some me time.”
Such candid admissions might seem intimidating to share, but when done tactfully, it strengthens the bond between you and the other person. By sharing your preferences, feelings, and thoughts directly, you give the other person a chance to know you better. It also signals that you trust them enough to share your true feelings, which can make them feel more comfortable doing the same.
Remember, honesty isn’t about being blunt or rude; it’s about expressing your authentic self in a respectful manner. For introverts, these honest exchanges can make socializing more enjoyable and less draining, because they transform superficial small talk into meaningful, authentic conversation.

Remembering 9-11: “That Feeling That We Were Really All One People”
I was working with our European divisions (every Country as it was IBM) and on 9/12 they were all “We are Americans too”.
By the next day, they were back to their favorite sport, trashing America. Everyone shoots for number one, and since Bush was a republican, the hate came back quickly and with even stronger wishes for the USA to be harmed.
Let’s not forget that I’m married to a European. Her family didn’t think that we should protect our country because of the violence it would cause. They stopped being my in-laws that day and became my wife’s family. I had mentioned that this was the biggest attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor.
An analyst I was forced to deal with was saying how the US didn’t have to fight 2 fronts in WWII. I calmly reminded him that we had the Japanese going on at the same time. Yes, he was an asshole and an ignorant one at that.
I don’t even go to see them anymore because the liberal press in Europe can out liberal the US liberal press. They believe every word and the hate they have for Trump is only matched by Keith Olberman and Rosie O’Donnell.
Anyway……
Next year will be the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. Most folks who were adults at that time remember it like it was yesterday.
Many of us have also had years when we’ve felt like distancing ourselves from the anniversary commemorations. Even for those not directly impacted, memories of that day—and the days that followed—still bring back traces of a trauma we’d never felt before. A feeling of insecurity we’d never experienced. Perhaps actor Tony Danza summed it up best when he said “I don’t like revisiting how I felt.”
In some ways the trauma seems to deepen with time, as new layers of grief emerge–like memories of loved ones who shared those moments but are now gone.
This year I decided to crack open the door and look back, if only for a little while.
In doing so, I came across some videos I’d never seen before–interviews with celebrities of that time period discussing where they were on 9-11.
Ten years after the attacks, producer and director David P. Levin released his documentary “When Pop Culture Saved America: A 9-11 Story.” Originally produced for A&E Networks, it explored how entertainment, comedy, and music helped Americans cope and rebuild in the months that followed. Levin spoke with numerous celebrities for the documentary, later posting extended interviews on his “Pop Goes the Culture” YouTube channel.
They didn’t remember. The people I dealt with were happy when we got attacked every time since and were mad when we protected ourselves.

Policies of Former NC Dem Governor Cooper Led To Train Stabbing Of Iryna
Since video surfaced of the Aug. 22 murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, the White House, along with congressional and state Republicans, has assailed Cooper’s Task Force for Racial Equity in Criminal Justice (TREC), which he established in 2020.
Republicans say TREC, created to “ensure racial equity in North Carolina’s criminal justice system,” is the reason Decarlos Brown Jr. was free to be on the train when Zarutska sat in the row in front of him on her way home from work.
Former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley, who’s running against Cooper for the open U.S. Senate seat in North Carolina in 2026, pinned the blame on TREC for policies like cashless bail.
“In 2020, my Democrat opponent, Roy Cooper, tasked a group of extreme leftists with advising him on implementing his executive order, which introduced weak-on-crime policies to North Carolina’s justice system regarding ‘pretrial release, fees, and fines,'” Whatley said in a post this week. “These policy changes empowered dangerous criminals, such as Decarlos Brown Jr., the murderer of Iryna Zarutska.”
I lived there when he was Gov. Almost every policy was against the people or anything morally right. He was an asshole to the people instead of a leader

It Figures It Was A Liberal White Woman, Pentagon HR Chief Drove DEI, Vax Mandates Under Biden
The Pentagon’s current head of human resources, Stephanie Miller, played a central role in advancing the Biden administration’s diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda and enforcing the military’s controversial COVID vaccine mandate, Breitbart News reported Tuesday.
According to Breitbart, Miller served as an “architect” of the military’s DEI programs, led the effort to keep the vaccine mandate in place even as thousands of service members were forced out, and oversaw policies that expedited citizenship for noncitizen service members — including some who had been deported after criminal convictions.
Retired Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Samuel Shoemate highlighted Miller’s record on social media and later told Breitbart that she has been a driving force behind policies that weakened readiness and pushed conservative-leaning service members out of the ranks.
“Stephanie has been an adviser to, and architect of, every decision in the military over the last decade and a half that has harmed military readiness and overall military strength,” Shoemate said.
See what happens when a girl does a man’s job because of DEI and wokism?

It Was A Sham The Whole Time: NY Times, Ben Casselman Hardest Hit: BLS Overestimated Biden-Era Jobs by 911,000
I haven’t trusted the NY Times since I’ve been alive. As for Biden, history will judge him, but it’s not looking good for him. He’s competing with Woodrow Wilson (racist), Jimmy Carter (incompetent), Obama (Ditherer and America hater)
For all of New York Times chief economics correspondent Ben Casselman’s fussbudgeting over President Donald Trump supposedly compromising the reliability of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a new report pointing to gross BLS ineptitude just made him look like a complete idiot.
The Bidenomics simp Casselman was forced to report that the BLS overestimated jobs growth during the Biden era — AGAIN — this time by nearly 1 million (-911,000) in the 12-month period ending March 2025, the largest revision on record. Casselman conceded that it was the “latest sign that the labor market, until recently a bright spot in the economy, may be weaker than it initially appeared.”
Remember: this scandalously politicized Fake News came out during the election season.
What makes this worse is that Casselman is the same person who co-wrote an embellished pre-election Day report slobbering all over Biden jobs market October 5, 2024:“The Job Market Is Chugging Along, Completing a Solid Economic Picture.” Like the cherry on top of this luscious-looking pile of crow, Casselman praised how “And the incoming evidence points to a clear conclusion: The economy is robust … In fact, the [September BLS] report reinforced that by many measures, the job market is as healthy as it has ever been.”

Do Doctors Make Money Off Vaccines? A Look At Incentives And Bonus Structures
It’s worse than you think. The stats and link are at the bottom. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
“Doctors are being paid to vaccinate, not to evaluate,” Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a recent video.
“They’re pressured to follow the money, not the science.”
Doctors administer dozens of vaccines to many children in the United States. Adults are also advised to receive multiple shots.
Here’s what to know about vaccines and payments.
What Does the Literature Say?
A review of studies confirms that some doctors profit from vaccinating.
In a 2020 paper, researchers found when analyzing three years’ worth of vaccination claims for five Colorado clinics that reimbursements averaged 125 percent of costs, making administering vaccines “financially favorable across the practices.”
Another study found that various providers in North Carolina, when receiving the maximum payment for reimbursement from insurers or the government, profited from vaccinating patients. Even if they received the minimum payment, pediatric and family medicine practices still reported positive income, according to the 2019 study.
On the other hand, other doctors say the costs of administering certain vaccines to certain people exceed the vaccine payments.
In a survey of 34 pediatricians, for instance, more than half said they do not profit from vaccinating, according to a 2009 paper.
A number of practitioners have also said they face escalating costs associated with vaccination, such as staffing, leading them to stop or consider stopping providing vaccines to patients with private insurance.
Reimbursement for vaccinating patients varies depending on whether patients have private or public insurance. Under a program called Vaccines for Children, the government also provides vaccines to doctors for free. It does not pay for related costs, but doctors can charge an administration fee that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says “helps providers offset their costs of doing business,” with the maximum varying by state.

What About Those Bonuses?
Doctors can make extra money for vaccinating under incentive programs from insurers, as highlighted by Brian Hooker, a senior scientist with Children’s Health Defense—a group Kennedy chaired through 2023—and other witnesses during a hearing in July on vaccines held by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).
“Some pediatricians can make upwards to a million or more a year just in those incentives,” Hooker said.
Asked for citations, Hooker pointed The Epoch Times to documents he collected from insurance companies that list available bonuses.
Links to those and other documents that outline incentives and are available online are provided below:
- Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Care Network of Michigan: $400 per child who receives a set of 24 or 25 vaccine doses on or before their second birthday.
- Aetna Better Health of Louisiana: $10–$25 per member, depending on level of COVID-19 vaccination coverage practice-wide.
- Molina Healthcare of Ohio: $100 incentive for COVID-19 vaccination.
- Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Medicaid: $50 per individual aged 6 months and older who received a COVID-19 vaccine by Dec. 31, 2022.
- United Healthcare Community Plan of Michigan: Incentives for patients who receive the meningococcal, Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis), and HPV vaccines by their 13th birthday.
- Meridian: Up to $120 per child who receives the 24 or 25 doses by their second birthday, or adolescents who received three certain doses by their 13th birthday, capped at $9,600 for each category.
- BlueCross BlueShield of Illinois: $149 for each child, if 63 percent or more meet criteria, who received the 24 or 25 vaccine doses by the time they turn 2.
- Central California Alliance for Health: Bonuses for children who receive at least 24 doses by the time they turn 2 and the three certain doses before they turn 13.
The sets of vaccines for which providers receive bonuses are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Charlotte Murder Was Racist:…… I Got That White Girl”: Charlotte Train Killer Offered Shocking Admission Following Brutal Murder
The man accused of murdering Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska appeared to admit to doing so in a video released Friday by the Charlotte transit authority.
Authorities say Zarutska, who worked at an area pizza restaurant, was stabbed to death Aug. 22 on a Charlotte light rail train by DeCarlos Brown, a man with a lengthy criminal history. The video, posted on WBTV’s YouTube account, shows events before and after the attack, but does not show Zarutska being stabbed.
“I got that white girl, I got that white girl,” Brown said as other passengers went to the aid of Zarutska, while waiting for the train to make a stop so he could exit.

To My Troll Tim O’Reilly: Get the Facts Straight, The Independent, Island Nations Are Growing, Not “Sinking Into the Sea”
I caught grief online by this jerk by saying that the seas aren’t rising and that his Global Warming religion was a lie. He was a pompous dick about it. I took grief from his pals, the now defunct Greenmonk and other like Analyst groups.
Fortunately, the truth wins out. He’s still a book publisher or whatever he does, but is still a troll. The tide comes in twice a day, that’s the only rising it’s done in a long time
The Independent posted an article claiming multiple small island nations are sinking into the sea, threatening the cease existing as nations, leaving their populations adrift. Data shows this is simply false. Amid modest sea level rise, the island nations that The Independent discusses have increased in size, population, and prosperity amid modest climate change. No real data shows that the oceans are about to swamp these countries.
“Small island nations such as Tuvalu, Kiribati, the Maldives and Marshall Islands are particularly vulnerable to climate change,” claims The Independent in its story, “These countries are sinking into the sea. What happens when they disappear forever?” “Rising seas, stronger storms, freshwater shortages and damaged infrastructure all threaten their ability to support life.
“Some islands even face the grim possibility of being abandoned or sinking beneath the ocean,” continues The Independent. “This raises an unprecedented legal question: can these small island nations still be considered states if their land disappears?”
While questions of international law with regard to the status of nations and their peoples should a country cease to exist are beyond the ken of Climate Realism, data indicates that the populations of these nations need not fear for their islands’ continued existence or, as result, the dissolution of their nation and national identity.
It was always a lie. Those of us who are critical thinkers saw it from the beginning, but then we’re the ones who wouldn’t get jabbed by the Covid clot shot. I bet Tim is fully boosted.
When you buy into a theory so obviously ludicrous without applying logic or pattern recognition to it, you’re going to come up looking like a fool, like Tim
