Introverts hate being put on the spot, icebreakers, and networking events. My Brother in law (who I nicknamed Flounder from Animal House) did this to me on one of the 2 worst Thanksgivings I’ve had. He was at the other one also. I mumbled some answer when I should have just passed and felt awkward the whole meal.

I posted her claim to drink it on election day. You can read about it here. Her name is Francesca Fiorentino.
It was just another look at me, I need attention rant by the worst of our species, Liberal White Women.
I had to do some research to see if anything was said afterwards, and not a peep from her or anyone else, so I’m asking her here to put up or shut up. You’ve had 10 months. The search assistant tried to downplay it by saying it was a publicity stunt or some such nonsense. All that told me was that the internet protects liberals and idiots, but I repeat myself
People talk big. Put up or STFU.
Fools aplenty out there.
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.
Get ready for shithole status, it’s coming. When one side has the power, either side, the lack of balance gives you the Kings you protested against.
If you know, you know: Florida is more than a glorious, sun-drenched vacation land. It’s a weird and chaotic, semi-lawless-feeling place dangling off of the edge of America. And for Maddy (@maddy.1414), who lives in Tampa Bay, that is exactly why she swears it’s not even a “real place.”
In a TikTok video that’s been watched over 689,000 times, Maddy spotlights one of the quirkiest, most counterintuitive things about life in Florida. And shockingly, it has nothing to do with alligators or the Brightline. It’s all about drive-thru drinks.
“Florida is not a real state,” says Maddy in the intro to her video. Sure, she’s going hard, but she promises to back up her claim with evidence. The video then cuts to her ordering at a drive-thru. “Can I just get one espresso martini?” she says.
A voice replies, “Yeah, sure thing.”
She pulls around to the window. But while waiting, she speaks directly into the camera again. “OK, if you know me, you know that I always say Florida isn’t a real state because you can do things here that you shouldn’t be able to legally do,” she says.
MY STORY FROM YEARS AGO
When a stupid youth in high school and college, I remember going through the brew-threw to get a six pack for the beach or wherever I was going. They were available in Orlando and along the beach. We had fake IDs and just cruised in and out. The best thing I ever did was move out of that state. That meant splitting a six-pack to the beach and another one on the way home. It was only a one hour drive away. I could have blown the limit by double, which was higher back then. That business made a killing. We’d have to wait in line for our turn, it was so busy, any time of day. I think they finally passed a law to stop it, but I haven’t been there in years.
How I’m alive is beyond me.
Now, when I see a Florida tag in my current state, I steer clear because I know it’s a bad driver. The minute you cross the border from Georgia, people pass in the right lane. The old people get into the fast lane and drive slowly. They also drive into pools in South Florida fairly regularly
Now, If I have to go out with my brother-in-law to dinner, he has a cocktail, a bottle of wine, and an after dinner drink. I gave it up 30 years ago, yet he drives because I don’t know where I’m going where they live, and he thinks he’s a big shot. How he doesn’t have a DUI or a broken neck is beyond me. It’s why I avoid my family when possible. I also won’t drive with him anymore.
If I’m a cat, I’ve used up 8 lives.

Karl Marx famously wrote in his 1848 Communist Manifesto, “The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains,” and it was these unchained proletarians who elected Zohran Mamdani mayor of New York City, along with other socialists in municipal elections from Atlanta, Georgia to Portland, Oregon and cities in between. But the 2025 elections did more than sweep a surprising number of socialist politicians to power. They also revealed contradictions inherent to all leftist ideologies.
One big contradiction involves affordability, a major issue in the 2025 elections, particularly in terms of housing. But proletarians voting for socialists in the hopes of achieving the dream of homeownership don’t realize they’re voting for the kind of big government that’s already putting it out of reach.
A report by Murray Weidenbaum at Washington University in St. Louis found that in three surveyed locales—Colorado, St. Louis, and New Jersey—the cost of government regulations added $1,500 to $2,500 to the price of an average house in the mid-1970s. By 2011, government mandates increased home prices by $65,224. Over the next decade, government made homes $93,870 more expensive. Socialists decry the high price of housing, but intrusive government contradicts them by burdening homebuyers with escalating regulatory costs, and socialists are not prone to surrendering government control of people’s lives.
In New York City, affordability provides an additional contradiction. When someone complains about life being too expensive, they might consider economizing or relocating to a less expensive place. But Mamdani voters do not want to economize or move; they want to continue drinking $8 lattes and living in Greenwich Village. Their belief system demands the world adapt to them rather than adapting to the world around them. It is a belief that inverts Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, which is foundational to the belief system of true proletarians.
Then there’s the contradiction of what constitutes a proletarian in the first place. According to Britannica, Marx characterized proletarians as “workers who were engaged in industrial production and whose chief source of income was derived from the sale of their labor power.” This definition fits every working American; if you have a job, Marx says you’re a proletarian.
This definition might apply to someone like Elon Musk, who also sells his labor to make money. But some of Musk’s labor is used to build and operate factories which employ other proletarians. What we’re left with is an ideology in which proletarians who work only for themselves are the selfless good guys, but those who work for themselves while providing employment for others are selfish members of the bourgeoisie, the enemy of proletarians. It defies logic.
History shows any form of Marxism has never worked, yet here we go again. Why are we playing a home game this time? Obama?
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.

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.
It would be easy to stop the government shutdown and open SNAP and WIC to those actually deserving it, but the AOTW Chuck Schumer won’t let it happen. He can’t even cook a cheeseburger right, much less run the Senate.
Senators will vote again on the two stopgap measures as soon as Friday. But with no votes flipping since last week, there’s no sign that they are close to breaking the impasse.
Instead, Republicans believe they were handed a new political gift: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s suggestion that the shutdown is getting better politically “every day” for Democrats.
“He says every day gets better for us. … He’s not talking about the American people,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) told reporters shortly before Thursday’s votes.
Barrasso and Senate Majority Leader John Thune both spoke on the floor Thursday morning with signs that featured Schumer’s remarks, which were made during an interview with Punchbowl News. Several other GOP senators and the White House weighed in on the comments Thursday.
“No matter what Chuck Schumer thinks, Americans struggling is not good, and the Democrats must stop inflicting this pain on them and reopen the government now,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement.
All because he wants to give money to the illegals, what an asshole.

The winner of the AOTW is of course, the Nobel Peace Prize committee, who overlooked the person who actually brought peace this week because they are assholes.
It is not hyperbole to say President Donald Trump is the “Peace GOAT.” He’s ended more conflicts and saved more lives in the last nine months than any world leader has done in their entire lives, ever.
But facts alone weren’t enough to sway the ultra-woke, insanely anti-Trump Norwegian Nobel Committee. They instead gave this year’s Nobel Peace Prize to Maria Corina Machado, a Venezuelan opposition leader who speaks out for democratic rights in her country.
Not to diminish her efforts, but she hasn’t actually accomplished anything. Ever.
She dedicated the award to Trump, showing more integrity than the Nobel committee.
It was an asshole move by the committee, one they keep making since they gave it to a war president around 2009 who hadn’t done anything. He would go on to cause more division in our country than any recent president and stir up racism and hate.
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.

The Real Lesson of Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel – Don’t be such an asshole
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
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

Actress and comedian Leslie Jones swung by Comedy Central’s The Daily Show on Thursday for one of her irregularly scheduled rants. This time, Jones, who is not exactly struggling financially, demanded other people pay her reparations and wondered why America hates black people.
Jones kicked off her rant by discussing social media posts by President Trump about the Smithsonian that argued the museums were too negative and focused too much on slavery, “Honestly, honestly, I don’t think museums go far enough. If you don’t leave an African American history museum weeping and wanting to give your closest black friends reparations, then they didn’t do the museum right. And let me say this, by the way, 40 acres and a mule is not enough anymore. I want 40 acres and a trust fund, how about that? Matter of fact, throw in the mule if you want to. I need something to carry my money.”
But, it’s going to be hard to top this asshole.
Tennis legend Serena Williams recently asked her social media followers their opinions on some decor she found inside a New York City hotel.
Williams was in town for an event put on by apparel companies SKIMS and Nike, which included a walk on a red carpet with Kim Kardashian. On Thursday, Williams made a temporary Instagram story post from inside an unknown hotel room where she made a discovery.
‘She has a thing against cotton??’
In a point-of-view video, Williams walks up to a cotton plant sitting on a table in a hallway and asks her audience, “All right, everyone. How do we feel about cotton as decoration?”
On the page TheShadeRoom, black viewers overwhelmingly disagreed with Williams taking issue with the plant.
“I don’t feel nothing about it!! It’s cute. She has a thing against cotton??” asked Gee Gee.
“I actually think it’s beautiful [art] decoration,” said a woman named Constance.
“They weren’t out there for her to see it as an offensive gesture. … It’s decor,” a man named Jay commented.
“It’s a plant! We aren’t picking it, giving free labor anymore! It’s a beautiful plant,” remarked Kiesha.
A few viewers inferred from Williams’ video that she saw the decoration as racist, with a woman named Charlandra claiming, “Seeing raw cotton can evoke racial trauma, recalling the forced labor our ancestors endured while picking raw cotton! Some of these hotels do have racial undertones! It’s a weird looking plant.”
At the same time though, kiky808 said, “Victim card race baiting bs while wearing a blonde wig.”
She can be a real asshole to people. She’s rude and racist, despite being married to a white man.

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.”
Commentary
Hillary Clinton’s secret to a “more perfect union”? Marginalize conservative Christian white men.
When MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski asked the former first lady and secretary of state whether America is “still headed toward a ‘more perfect union’” on Wednesday, Clinton attacked conservatives as the reason why the country’s progress is “on pause.”
“I think right now we’re on pause,” she replied. “Some people are actually scared about what’s going on in our country.”
Always in the running is Jasimine Crockett. This week, her racist mouth of hate came out with this one:
Scott Jennings just came out swinging in response to Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s vile comments about Charlie Kirk.
He said what no one else on CNN seems willing to admit…after the network gave her a platform to smear a man who hasn’t even been buried yet.
“To say that he was continuously targeting people of color is nothing but a malicious smear, on the very day that people are remembering Charlie, and he’s going to be laid to rest.”
“And so I think when you combine the no votes on the resolution and then you look at the leading Democratic voices like Ilhan Omar and Jasmine Crockett, who’ve gone out to smear Charlie before he’s even had his funeral.”
No matter how much I like the Avengers, I was never a Hulk fan. If I had to lose one, it would be between him and the Black Widow.
In real life though, he as been about as far left, as obnoxious as possible, and undereducated on most of what he talks about. He’s the Peter Principle for being a celebtard:
Actor Mark Ruffalo recently unleashed a torrent of ignorance about Jimmy Kimmel’s ouster at ABC. The government is not suppressing Kimmel’s speech, despite what you’ve heard. ABC, its affiliate stations, and station owners listened to disgusted viewers and wary advertisers who said they would no longer support the already low-rated and unprofitable show. The affiliates refused to run the show, and ABC made a business decision to end it entirely. Kimmel lying about Charlie Kirk’s assassin on-air and refusing to apologize made ABC’s decision easier.
But it’s the Hollywood celebtards who supported Jimmy Kimmel’s lies that earn AOTW. Here’s a taste:
Several Marvel stars and other Hollywood celebrities have come out to demand a boycott of Disney over ABC’s decision to suspend radical, left-wing Democrat Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show.
Last Thursday, She Hulk star Tatiana Maslany took to her social media to urge her followers to boycott Disney over Kimmel’s suspension.
The Canadian actress wrote, “Cancel your @disneyplus @hulu @espn subscriptions!” in a post featuring photos from her Disney She Hulk TV series, according to Canadian news outlet CBC.
Maslany was joined by actor Pedro Pascal, who also took to social media on Thursday to call for fans to “defend free speech” and “defend democracy” by boycotting Disney.
They are so stupid, they don’t know that we are a Republic, not a democracy. I know Kimmel is back, but I don’t like how Hollywood hates America

Judge sentences ‘scholar-activist’ to 20 years in prison for firebombing UC Berkeley cop car
A federal judge sentenced a ‘scholar-activist” to almost 20 years in prison and ordered him to pay nearly $100,000 in fines for firebombing a University of California Berkeley police car and committing other acts of arson.
Judge Jeffrey White went further than even requested by the prosecution, who asked for 15 years in prison for Casey Goonan, who committed the crimes in June 2024.
Goonan, as detailed by the Department of Justice, “placed a bag containing six explosive devices commonly known as ‘Molotov cocktails’ underneath the fuel tank of a marked University of California Police Department (UCPD) patrol car parked near the UC Berkeley campus. Goonan lit the bag on fire and fled, causing the patrol car to catch on fire.”
That same month, he reportedly tried to firebomb federal buildings as well.
Last year, Goonan’s attorney Jeff Wozniak said the charges were part of a politicized investigation due to his client’s opposition to Israel. “It is an investigation focused on Mr. Goonan’s political beliefs in a free Palestine and against the ongoing genocide in Gaza,” the attorney said last year. “If charges are filed, Mr. Goonan’s legal team will aggressively fight the charges.”
I’m married to Dane. For decades, they bragged about all the free shit they get such as education, healthcare, and retirement. They have to pay 70% taxes to afford this for the country. I believed them at first, but the truth came out ,and they aren’t happy about paying so much for everything.
Every one of her (not mine) relatives who has had surgery has had it messed up. From ankles to stomachs, botched every time. They wait 6 weeks to see a doctor (a cold is gone in 1 to 2). Even their pension isn’t as much as Social Security, the pittance that it is.
They aren’t fooling me. I see how they live. They avoid the government because everything is so expensive. They buy all their stuff in the US instead. They are next to obnoxious to protect a tiny country which hasn’t been great since the Vikings.
They brag how everyone is equal (a big lie, her nephew Brian can’t stop talking about how much he has and paid for it). The other lie is they are the happiest. When you set your standards to zero, you can meet them everytime. They aren’t happy and will barely talk to a stranger there.

Have you ever wondered why Scandinavian countries are often hailed as the gold standard of social equality? It’s a compelling narrative: nations like Sweden, Denmark, and Norway seem to have cracked the code on blending prosperity with fairness. But what if the story we’ve been sold isn’t the full picture? As someone who’s always been skeptical of too-good-to-be-true promises, I decided to dig deeper into the so-called Scandinavian model. What I found was a system far more complex—and, frankly, more troubling—than the rosy image painted by its admirers.
The term Scandinavian socialism gets thrown around a lot, often with a sense of awe. People point to high taxes, generous welfare programs, and impressive human development rankings as proof of a utopian system. But here’s the thing: what’s labeled as socialism in Scandinavia isn’t quite what you might think. It’s not about collective ownership of production or some grand egalitarian dream. Instead, it’s a carefully crafted system where the state plays a heavy-handed role in managing resources, wealth, and opportunity—often to the benefit of a select few.
At its core, this model is less about empowering the average citizen and more about maintaining state control. The state doesn’t own businesses outright, but it sets the rules, picks the winners, and ensures compliance through a web of regulations and taxes. It’s a system that looks free on the surface but operates with an iron grip beneath. Let’s break it down and see what’s really going on.
Back in the late 19th century, Scandinavian countries faced a unique challenge. They were resource-rich—think timber, iron, and fisheries—but lacked the robust middle class needed to fully exploit these assets. Unlike their European neighbors, who had thriving industrial bases, these Nordic nations couldn’t rely on state-run enterprises to drive growth. Their solution? Outsource production to a handpicked group of industrialists and corporations, both local and foreign, who were granted special privileges in exchange for loyalty and hefty tax contributions.
The state didn’t abolish private enterprise; it tamed it, turning businesses into extensions of its own agenda.– Economic historian
This wasn’t socialism in the classic sense. It was a hybrid—a mix of state favoritism and market dynamics. The government didn’t seize factories or mines; instead, it created a system where only those who played by its rules could thrive. This approach allowed Scandinavian nations to industrialize rapidly, but it came at a cost: a rigid hierarchy where the state and its chosen allies held all the power.
One of the biggest selling points of the Scandinavian model is its promise of equality. High taxes fund universal healthcare, education, and pensions, creating the illusion of a classless society. But is it really as fair as it seems? In my view, the system’s equality is more about uniformity than true fairness. Citizens are funneled into a state-managed existence, where their role is to maintain the system, not to innovate or break free.
The average Scandinavian doesn’t own significant capital or run their own business. Instead, they’re often locked into roles as employees within a tightly regulated economy. Their reward? A safety net of welfare benefits that ensures stability but discourages independence. It’s a trade-off: security for autonomy. And while that might sound appealing to some, it’s worth asking—does it truly empower people, or does it keep them tethered to the state?
Perhaps the most striking aspect of Scandinavian socialism is its reliance on a small, politically connected elite. These are the industrialists, corporate leaders, and bureaucrats who benefit from the state’s legal monopolies and administrative privileges. They’re not your typical capitalist entrepreneurs—they’re state-sanctioned players who thrive because of their proximity to power.
This dynamic creates a kind of corporate feudalism, where the state acts as a lord, granting favors to loyal vassals. In return, these elites generate revenue that funds the welfare state, keeping the system afloat. It’s a clever setup, but it’s not exactly the democratic paradise it’s made out to be. The average citizen has little access to this inner circle, and their economic mobility is often capped by design.
Fast forward to today, and the Scandinavian model is starting to show its age. The system was built on the back of abundant natural resources and a compliant workforce, but those foundations are crumbling. Aging populations, declining competitiveness, and shrinking resource revenues are putting pressure on the welfare state. The machine, as I see it, is grinding to a halt.
What happens when the money runs out? Historically, states in this position turn to desperate measures. In Scandinavia, that could mean wealth confiscation or outright nationalization of private assets. It’s not hard to imagine governments doubling down on their control, especially when the promise of welfare is at stake. After all, if the system’s built on dependency, what choice do they have?
Scandinavian countries consistently rank high on global happiness indices, which often fuels the myth of their success. But is this happiness genuine, or is it a byproduct of a system that prioritizes compliance over ambition? In my experience, true contentment comes from freedom and opportunity, not just material security. When you’re locked into a system that limits your potential, can you really call that happiness?
The data paints a mixed picture. While citizens enjoy high standards of living, they also face some of the highest tax burdens in the world. Personal savings rates are low, and entrepreneurship is stifled by red tape. It’s a system that works—until it doesn’t. And when it fails, the fallout could be severe.
As the Scandinavian model faces growing challenges, the question is whether it can adapt. Some argue for reforms—lower taxes, deregulation, and a shift toward true market freedom. Others fear the state will tighten its grip, moving closer to outright nationalization. Either way, the myth of Scandinavian socialism as a perfect balance of equality and prosperity is fading fast.
For those of us watching from the outside, there’s a lesson here: systems that promise everything often deliver less than they claim. The Scandinavian model isn’t a blueprint for utopia; it’s a cautionary tale about the costs of control. Perhaps it’s time we rethink what equality and freedom really mean.
There is more here, but it says the same thing.

Alzheimer’s Death-Rate Has Doubled Since 2000
Still worried about the seas rising there Timbo? Read this:
It’s all too predictable: A jet-setting celebrity or politician wades ceremoniously into hip-deep surf for a carefully choreographed photo op, while proclaiming that human-driven sea-level rise will soon swallow an island nation. Of course, the water is deeper than the video’s pseudoscience, which is as shallow as the theatrics.
The scientific truth is simple: Sea levels are rising, but the rate of rise has not accelerated. A new peer-reviewed study confirms what many other studies have already shown – that the steady rise of oceans is a centuries-long process, not a runaway crisis triggered by modern emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2).
For the past 12,000 years, during our current warm epoch known as the Holocene, sea levels have risen and fallen dramatically.
For instance, during the 600-year Little Ice Age, which ended in the mid-19th century, sea levels dropped quite significantly. The natural warming that began in the late 1600s got to a point around 1800 where loss of glacial ice in the summer began to exceed winter accumulation and glaciers began to shrink and seas to rise. By 1850, full-on glacial retreat was underway.
Thus, the current period of gradual sea-level increase began between 1800-1860, preceding any significant anthropogenic CO2 emissions by many decades. The U.S. Department of Energy’s 2025 critical review on carbon dioxide and climate change confirms this historical perspective.
“There is no good, sufficient or convincing evidence that global sea level rise is accelerating –there is only hypothesis and speculation. Computation is not evidence and unless the results can be practically viewed and measured in the physical world, such results must not be presented as such,” notes Kip Hansen, researcher and former U.S. Coast Guard captain.

Let’s start with Eric Swalwell, who was boning Chinese spy Fang-Fang and giving away US secrets. How he’ not already hung is that it’s not 1776, when we stood for patriotism He only gets a Benedict Arnold trophy.
He pulls this lining up the media with the liberals, as if there was any doubt:
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., warned Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr on Thursday to “get a lawyer” over what he called “dirty deals” after the suspension of comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show.
ABC put the show on indefinite hold on Wednesday following comments Kimmel made about the assassination of Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk.
I’ve been waiting for this to happen. Everyone including Kimmel predicted it. Jimmy got canned. The left is finally getting cancelled.
He was funny on the Man Show and the other host, Adam Carrolla is very conservative, go figure. I mean how did they get away with girls jumping on trampolines?
Then, he must have gotten paid a lot to veer left of Meathead, Keith Olberman, and the other stars of liberal land.
Anyway, for the stuff he’s said, and for trashing Charlie Kirk, Jimmy Kimmel, You are the asshole of the week.
Legacy Media outlets lost their collective minds when CBS canned both “The Late Show” and its far-Left host Stephen Colbert earlier this year. That media reaction is tame compared to what we’re seeing now.
The comic host could have backpedaled and/or apologized for his comments the following night. He was 100 percent wrong, and Kirk’s death is a national tragedy. We’re a forgiving country, and a heartfelt “my bad” would go a long way.
Except Kimmel did no such thing. And according to reports, he planned to double down had he been able to resume his show Wednesday night. We all make mistakes. Kimmel’s was born out of naked ideology, and that’s being kind.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr warned that the government could take action on Kimmel’s original comments. That ties to the notion that broadcast platforms serve the public good, and malicious lies are antithetical to that rule.
He’s technically right, but it’s a very dangerous path to go down. It’s also something that could easily be weaponized by unscrupulous players on the Left and Right.
The Biden administration did plenty to curb free expression. Imagine what President Ocasio-Cortez would do with such a precedent?
There isn’t enough space on the Interwebs to share all the liberal hypocrisy on this issue. The Left downplayed or fed into Cancel Culture for years. It ignored the rise of Sensitivity Readers who censored new and existing art. They watched in silence as comedians self-censored for fear of career repercussions.
To liberals crying, “but what about free speech,” we say, “pound sand.”
Cancel Culture punished comedians for jokes they told a decade ago. Maybe more. It crucified stars for things they did when they were barely adults. It pummeled artists for sharing the “wrong” views on key issues, even if many others rightfully agreed with those views.
This … this … isn’t Cancel Culture. Kimmel’s big lie was nauseating, inappropriate and demanded a retraction. Period. And, if he had done that, none of this might have happened.
CBS canceled “The Late Show” in part because it’s losing the network $40 million a year. It’s a no-brainer to cut ties with a format that no longer matters in a 21st-century media world.
What about Kimmel?
Is “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” a cash cow? Late-night revenues have been cratering for some time. Kimmel draws roughly between 1.2 and 1.7 million per episode. That’s lower than Colbert’s “Late Show” viewership and far lower than the format’s salad days.
Some reports suggest ABC wouldn’t mind getting out of the Jimmy Kimmel business given that reality. It’s a topic worth exploring.
It may say, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” but the show is taped and features a written monologue. That means someone had to pen that MAGA lie and, most likely, several staffers read it before the show’s taping. Did anyone raise their hand and say, “No, that’s inaccurate. Shouldn’t we change the line before we hit record?”
Apparently not.
Even worse? No one spoke up the following day, when Team Kimmel could have served up that aforementioned apology. They were all caught up in the liberal bubble, the one that told them Kirk’s killer was MAGA through and through.
Legacy Media lies set this in motion, just as Fox News’ David Marcus said.

Harris: ‘Too Big of a Risk’ to Pick Buttigieg as Running Mate Because He’s Gay
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 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.)”

Man Goes on Hunger Strike in San Francisco Calling for Stop to AI Development
SAN FRANCISCO—Resident Guido Reichstadter is conducting a hunger strike in front of the headquarters of artificial intelligence (AI) company Anthropic located on Howard Street in San Francisco, calling for the end of advanced AI development.
The 45-year-old former Florida jewelry business owner said he put his 20-year career on hold to move to San Francisco in 2022 to warn people about the danger of advanced AI.
On the ninth day of his recent protest, Reichstadter, living on zero-calorie electrolytes and vitamins, told The Epoch Times he delivered a letter addressed to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Sept. 2, asking him to stop developing such technology and do everything in his power to stop the global AI race.
“If he was unwilling to do that, then to meet with me face-to-face as a human being and explain why he feels he has the right to put our society in danger,” Reichstadter said.
Anthropic, together with others like Google, Meta, OpenAI, and xAI, is one of the leading companies aiming to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) that would have human-like intelligence and could act autonomously and pursue goals.
Well, this pretty much goes against Romans 3:23. Mosckerr, I know you may not side with me on this one, but let it slide….
New American Standard Bible
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,…
And Yet:
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.
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:
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 British media has officially outdone itself, in the worst way possible. In a headline that reads like something straight outta The Onion, reporters actually declared, “A woman exposed herself in a park.” And then, in all “seriousness,” they go on to explain that this “woman” whipped out her penis in front of children and wiggled it around.
We wish we were joking…
Everyone on planet Earth should know that women don’t have penises, except, apparently, British journalists. These poor wankers are so enslaved to woke gender nonsense that they’ll happily torch basic biology, reality, and the safety of children just to keep a child predator’s pronouns and gender illness intact.
These people aren’t journalists. They’re progressive clowns.
And let’s be clear. This wasn’t some weird drag queen singing in a gay nightclub. A child was literally targeted by this madman. A little girl on the monkey bars looked over and saw a man… yes, we said a man… waving his ding-dong around. But the media’s number one priority isn’t the child. It’s to the trans movement.
This is the same type of sickness we saw here when Jake Tapper twisted himself into a pretzel to avoid “misgendering” the trans killer who shot up a Catholic church and murdered two children. Again, less concern for the kids, more concern for the trans ideology.
The trans movement is on a collision course with journalism. If it keeps going like this, it’ll devour the profession entirely. And the sooner, the better.
By the way, this is what British media calls a “woman.”
Well let’s start with a contender:
Corrupt Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is pushing new election rules that were not approved by the state legislature, but rather by her, to make it easier for Democrats to cheat in the upcoming elections.

It’s gonna be hard to avoid Philliies Karen, who stole a little kid’s home run ball that was in his glove. It was a serious asshole move.
Phillies fans have a nasty reputation, deserved or not, and in Miami Friday night the best and, well, less than best was on display.
The moment has gone mega-viral, spawning an online hunt for the woman at the center of the drama and at least two misidentifications of the culprit who has become known as the “Phillies Karen.”
In the fourth inning, Phillies outfielder Harrison Bader planted a home run into the left field seats and a mild looking skirmish for the ball ensued, mostly among fans wearing Phillies garb. A man in a Phillies shirt emerged with the souvenir and brought it back to his family about 10 seats down the row. He handed the ball to his young son.
What followed next was hard to believe. A white-haired woman in a Phillies hoodie stormed down the row to the family and grabbed the stunned dad by his shoulder and pointed to the ball and the spot of the scuffle, apparently demanding the ball belonged to her.
Runnerup – any other week, this would be AOTW: Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar said with a straight face on Thursday that it is “f-ed up” for people to remember the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk for his good deeds.
Just one day following his death, Omar accused Kirk on “Zeteo” of being insensitive to school shootings, the death of George Floyd and slavery. She denied the notion that Kirk helped bring civil political discussion on college campuses by openly debating those he disagreed with.
But no, by far the biggest asshole of the week is the European press, along with the other God Haters who trash the USA and citizens not of their political persuasion.
Carlie Kirk Assassination: European Media Blame ‘Trump’s Policies’ and ‘Gun Violence’
There aren’t many left. I’m reaching the end of the good stuff.
Bonus. I was in Walmart yesterday and saw this one
In Unterlüß, Lower Saxony, Europe’s largest ammunition factory began production yesterday. What started clandestinely is now being publicly scaled with full firepower: the European Union is building its own war economy.
In the good old days in Germany, recessions were typically masked by state-funded infrastructure programs. The concept worked as long as the state did not overgrow, overregulate, or force the private sector into a destructive ideological agenda, as is the case with the green transformation. In other words: the economy was always able to clear away the debris left behind by the state.
Southern Europe Could Never Recover
In Southern Europe, where the state’s role has traditionally been high, monetary policy generous, and handling of public funds notoriously lax, this policy left nothing but infrastructure ruins and industrial wastelands. Local economies were never able to productively absorb the artificial credit distributed by Brussels. The fatal consequences of this pseudo-boom still shape the landscape today.
For economic historians, present-day Europe has long been a fascinating study object. Crisis followed crisis, with the public sector intervening each time with increasing volume. The attempt to install the Green Deal, a Keynesian pseudo-economy, must be understood in this context. That Germany’s defense company Rheinmetall yesterday launched Europe’s largest ammunition plant in Unterlüß fits into this narrative.
The company invested half a billion euros to provide an annual capacity of up to 350,000 rounds by 2027. 500 new jobs are to be created, celebrated by politicians as a turning point and the beginning of a pan-European defense architecture.
Ceremony and Half-Truths
Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger expressed satisfaction: “It was not easy for us to invest half a billion without orders. I am very grateful to you”—the words were directed at Defense Minister Pistorius—“for keeping your handshake agreements. You are a man of word and deed.” A heavy dose of pathos and self-congratulation is evident here—politics and the defense industry are long intertwined.
Of course, this is only half the truth. Beyond the usual behind-the-scenes deals, politics has made it clear that it is ready to mobilize all means to build a German defense industry and provide sector companies with guarantees and subsidies where necessary. Big business, no risk.
After the collapse of the green economy, politics is now betting everything on the next pseudo-economy. The aim is to loosen dependence on America while exploiting the media spin that stylized Vladimir Putin’s Russia over years as a potential European invader. Whether this fear campaign will work in the long term remains to be seen.
No One Will Fight for Merz or Macron
Given the deep economic depression in which Germany and large parts of the EU are stuck, the general war fatigue, and social fractures in core EU states like Germany and France, it is clear that despite the reinstatement of conscription, most citizens will rigorously reject military engagement.
A glance at EU public finances alone is enough to recognize that a war against Russia is political madness. France, with a debt-to-GDP ratio of 115%, is days away from a confidence vote on the new austerity budget. Bond markets are already punishing these bankrupt states. The signs point to savings, not bellicose adventures.
Absurd and Destructive
It is absurd in this situation—where Germany has almost fully spent the so-called Bundeswehr special fund of €100 billion and now switches to borrowing mode—to accelerate this path. Yet Brussels, Berlin, Paris, and London are serious. In fall 2026, Rheinmetall plans to launch its next plant in Weeze, producing fuselage components for the F-35 fighter jet. Cost: €200 million, this time directly publicly funded.
Defense factories will mushroom in the coming months and years, producing far beyond civilian demand. Germany plans to raise its defense budget to up to 5% of GDP, which will worsen the impoverishment of its population as the private sector already shrinks by 4–5%. A disaster unseen in Europe since the end of the war.
A hot conflict with Russia is economically highly unlikely. Yet a new Cold War, a state of continuous armament like before 1990, seems to be Europe’s goal. They are trapped in an absurd economic theory of central planning and command economy. A new power base is forming: a corporatism between the defense industry and the political complex in Brussels.
Germany as Anchor
Germany has clearly been chosen to finance this economic disaster. The country, previously with one of the lowest debt ratios in the EU at 64%, will double its annual defense budget to €162 billion by 2029. By 2027, the special fund will be exhausted, after which loans up to €400 billion will be required.
Germany will become an active player in bond markets, where interest rates are already rising. The European Central Bank will have plenty of work to keep the rapidly growing debt pile liquid. The EU will also participate with new funds, EDIP and ASAP (a term bordering on infantilism in this context), contributing €50–70 billion annually to joint defense projects.
No Lessons Learned
While Germany’s civilian industry collapses, factories close in droves, and the country moves toward mass unemployment—with all consequences for social funds and the domestic climate—we now witness one grand opening after another: pompous inaugurations of defense plants, with champagne popping at our expense.
Europe has learned nothing from the green pseudo-economy disaster. It refuses to analyze how Germany and other industrial centers were deindustrialized. The fatal consequence of building a war economy is that it will siphon scarce resources from productive sectors on a massive scale, making financing and developing civilian enterprises nearly impossible.
Germany is being technologically left behind and bombing its own prosperity—in the literal sense.
Americans who don’t spend time in Europe might not fully appreciate what a powder keg the Old World has become.
However bad social relations in the United States now are, they are at least an order of magnitude worse on the other side of the Atlantic. European self-hatred is dissolving traditional cultural bonds. Mass immigration is compounding age-old rivalries.
Europe is one spark away from exploding.
Europe is a perennial battlefield. Many of our ancestors, after all, left the old country to escape religious, economic, and cultural conflicts that had endured for centuries. Those historic grievances — always simmering in times of peace before boiling over into outright violence — are passed from one generation to the next. Modern European nations are the product of two thousand years of shifting borders and alliances, and native Europeans trace their family lineages back to regional tribes whose ancient territories do not fit neatly within the politically drawn maps of today.
If you think geographical accents in America make it tricky for a Mississippian or Minnesotan to communicate effectively with an English-speaker from the Bronx, consider that Europe is home to nearly three hundred native tongues. Switzerland has four national languages — including Romansch, which derives from the spoken Latin of the Roman Empire. The cornucopia of indigenous languages, dialects, vocabularies, and accents makes it possible for local residents of small towns to recognize “outsiders” immediately. Even more impressively, they can usually tell — just by listening — which towns a stranger’s grandparents once called home.
Two world wars — both ignited in Europe and responsible for immense European destruction — propelled a mid-twentieth-century political movement calling for the eradication of national borders. The European intelligentsia who became the founding members of the continent’s fledgling transnational bureaucracy blamed national pride for Europe’s carnage and effectively turned “nationalism” into a dirty word.
Oddly, this was also a time when crumbling empires, such as France and the United Kingdom, were at least tepidly supporting the national independence of former colonies. Likewise, it was the beginning of a half-century U.S.-led campaign to encourage national revolutions in European countries stuck behind the Soviet Union’s Iron Curtain. So Western power brokers framed nationalism as a kind of intolerable ethos on par with Mussolini’s fascism and Hitler’s national socialism while encouraging former nations or proto-nations in Central Europe, Africa, and Asia to break away from the respective empires that controlled them. While Western leaders pushed for the integration of distinct European nations into a single “Union,” they also promoted national independence movements under the rationale that all humans possess a natural right to self-determination.
In the eighty years since the project for European integration began in earnest, those latent contradictions have transformed Europe into a tinderbox with even greater potential energy for self-destruction than existed before WWI and II. While the bureaucratic ruling class has actively repressed the historic identities of native Europeans, it has flooded the continent with foreigners who are encouraged to retain their own cultural identities. In this way, a Hungarian or Pole or Dane who celebrates his country’s unique heritage is denounced as a “far-right nationalist,” while a Frenchman who insists that African and Middle Eastern immigrants assimilate to the European way of life is denounced as a “racist” and “bigot.”
I’ve seen Europe change over the decades I’ve been going there. It’s not worth it anymore. The people can ruin any sites or history.

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.”
When I was growing up, the joke was big black dildo. We made endless jokes about size, girth, comparability to the real thing, and so forth. But seriously, Green? What, is there some Martian with a unit that would put the brothers to shame, or is the stud of the ‘hood?
Now, the WNBA lost it’s star attraction and they offer the world and other sports leagues green dildo’s. They are a joke without Caitlin. The mascot of the WNBA is a gree didldo, but then a lot of them are lesbians anyway so it’s not all that unfamiliar.
The Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears squared off in the first “Monday Night Football” of the season for ESPN, with the former pulling off an exciting 27-24 comeback victory. But that’s not what I’m here to talk about. (RELATED: Multiple NFL Games Disrupted By Bright Green Dildos)
During the game, a sex toy was thrown on the field to continue the craze that originated in the WNBA, which resulted in a security guard having to scoop it up so it didn’t interrupt things. And here’s what made the scene even more hilarious: After removing the dildo, the guard received a loud ovation from fans.
The dildo, which was bright green like all of the other sex toy incidents, was thrown onto a Soldier Field end zone from the stands. Fortunately, there was no delay in the game thanks to the security guard.
