THEY EAT THEIR YOUNG, WHY? BECAUSE THEY CAN!

 

Feminism: The God That Destroys

Guest Post by John Wilder

“Bullhorns are a core principle of eco-feminism.” – Futurama

Why are the books on Dwarf Rights on the top shelf?

The GloboLeftist use of power can be objectively observed to be feminine.  To put it bluntly, GloboLeftism is feminism.  One way this is especially apparent is the tactics that the GloboLeft uses – it uses the tactics of gossip, the swarm, and ostracization of those that it deems unworthy.

If you look carefully at how the GloboLeft attacks, it follows that pattern.  Gossip against an enemy, a swarm against that enemy, and finally the ostracization of that enemy.  With men, the way to solve a problem is simple – get up, get a hammer (or other appropriate tool, like a much bigger hammer) and solve the problem.  Or fail.

If necessary, and the problem is big enough, get a friend.  If that’s not enough, go build better tools and recruit more friends.  Or a brigade.  Or tanks.  Or an army.  Or take this newfangled flight and build jet engines to fight at the speed of sound and play with the fundamental forces of nature to create a miniature star to cause your problems to evaporate.

Simple.  Okay, not simple sometimes.  But it is direct.  This is how men historically kept other men (and other tribes) in line, just various sizes of hammers.

I hope that joke didn’t catch anyone by surprise – I don’t want to be convicted of involuntary man’s laughter.

Women, however, use the gossip/swarm/ostracize technique naturally to keep the group members of other women in line.  I’ve seen it.  When women are together in a group and they split away from the main group, they begin the gossip to keep other members in line or to pull them down.

When a big enough transgression occurs, they swarm against the offender.  Then they kick them out of the group.  In smaller tribal groups this behavior was probably entirely necessary to keep the peace.  Many of the historical tribal punishments were directed not at adulterous men, but adulterous women.

Why?  Men have the key, and women have to have the lock otherwise the fighting and killing start.  Also of note, is that in every point in history up until the modern society, women depended on men for their power – so women had to rule over women to keep the worst female impulses down.

What do you call a letter from a feminist?  Hate male.

Back in the day, the worst case for a woman was to be shunned and shamed and denied resources.  Being denied resources meant (in many cases) death for the woman, and her children if she had them.  This is the core feminine fear, and is the basis for society today.

This was why, of all the crazy things developed by the commies, that feminism was the worst, because it preys upon a core fear.  The result is that feminists have done everything that they can possibly figure out to remove any consequences for their action as feminism took hold.  Examples?

  • Abortion made the defining hallmark of real femininity, having kids, an option.
  • No-fault divorce was next – having an affair no longer meant that a woman was liable in court for her actions – now divorce could happen just because she was tired. But that wasn’t enough – women needed cash and prizes for leaving the marriage:
  • Community property and child support followed. That was fine for high-status females.  But what about poor females?
  • Well, for them we need welfare and Aid For Dependent Children so they can have as much irresponsible and unprotected sex as they like.
  • I’m generally not in favor of slugging women, but domestic violence laws have made men guilty until proven innocent, with many jurisdictions requiring an arrest if the police are called out for domestic violence. But even that isn’t enough:
  • Making fun of Lizzo because she’s the size of a school bus is now “fat-shaming”. And making fun of a woman who had sex with all of Wyoming is now wrong and called “slut-shaming”.

All of these are intended to insulate a woman from the consequences of her actions and choices.  No society on Earth can afford this for long, because the consequences of insulation of consequences are what we see around us.

  • Rampant criminality because removing consequences should apply to everyone, up until they commit murder.
  • Declining birthrate as women avoid having children and having families until they’re at the point that having more than one or two for them is impossible.
  • Lower than optimal family formation is happening because women are skipping the family to become the drunk wine aunt that makes PowerPoints® for a living but can’t get a “good” man to commit.
  • Lower than optimal family stability, since there are no consequences, women can monkey branch from one man to another and this be accepted.
  • Sentimentality as a basis for public policy rather than rationality – i.e., illegals are viewed as individuals in pain rather than a contagion that will turn the Untied (it was a typo that I thought I’d leave) States into the average of Venezuela, Eritrea, Cambodia, and the Congo.
  • Degeneration as all consequences for anything sexual are removed as sex becomes the new sacrament for the feminist religion – note that in any argument with a member of the GloboLeft® they’ll soon drop a sexual insult.

Name something that goes better together than “Wilder” and “procrastination”.  Go ahead.  I’ll wait.

Oddly, feminism does the opposite of what it says on the label – it either turns women into cut-rate men, making them unhappy tramps who “settled” but still thinks she deserves a Chad because she slept with fifty Chads.  Conversely, it deprives them of family, making them unhappy drunk wine aunts by having them chase a career so they could be complete women that don’t need no man.  In fact, keeping women unhappy is better for the GloboLeftElite because it keeps women dependent on feminist ideology and makes them defend it all the more.

Go figure.

What African country do neckbeards hate the most?  Chad.

The reason this all was available was because we have amazingly abundant resources and could pay for it out of the spare change that we had from printing money.

The good news is that this can’t last.

To be clear:  I really like women.  And I know that women are different than men.  I know that this might be heresy at places like Harvard™, but it’s true.  Women add to society, but when they’re in unmitigated charge of society, it just creates a big mess like the one we’re seeing now.  The future needs women, acting like women, in families, making children that are worthy of being called men and women, which can only be made by the atom of society – the family.

The future won’t be the feminism of the GloboLeft – it’s a cancer.  And the methods that it uses gossip/swarm/ostracize aren’t ways of solving the problems that we have right now as the resources of the eternal summer end – that’s when the only real solution is the solution of men – get a tool and fix it.  The only real question is what form that solution will take.

Will it take a miniature star to fix it?

DO THE MATH … JOE STALIN PROFESSOR OF VOTER MATH

 Political Horse Race: Electoral College Math — REMEMBER ITS A REPUBLIC NOT DEMOCRACY!

Weighing political polls is a tricky business at best and more often a case of reading tea leaves. And yet, in an election year, it seems to be the national pastime. But far more important than the numbers the pollsters present is how these figures impact the Electoral College math. It is here that elections are won and lost.

Electoral College Primer

A total of 270 Electoral College votes are needed to claim the presidency out of a possible 538 – one elector for each seat in Congress* plus three for the District of Columbia. In 2016, Donald Trump claimed 304 votes from 30 states (including one from Maine, which divides its share). The win was essentially reversed in 2020 when Joe Biden secured a tally of 306.

There are also “faithless” electors who go against their district’s vote and cast their ballot for, well, just about anybody they please. More than half of all states “bind” their electors, but those that don’t leave some room for shenanigans. Notably, rogue electors have never – so far – had an impact on the final election outcome.

The states’ party leanings have not always been set in stone. In 2004, President George W. Bush narrowly beat out John Kerry 286 to 251, but not as closely as his 2000 win against Al Gore in a 271 to 266 nailbiter that was ultimately decided by the Supreme Court. It all came down to Florida, which was then the quintessential swing state. Along with Ohio and Iowa, these three states were once considered bellwethers but are now – since Trump’s win – fairly safe Republican ground.

At the other end of the spectrum are the major Electoral College wins often characterized as near clean sweeps. Most recently would be President Ronald Reagan in 1984, who got 525 votes against Democrat Walter Mondale’s 13; the unfortunate Mondale earned three votes from DC and ten from his home state of Minnesota (the latter just barely by a 0.18% margin). In the modern era, only FDR came closer to a complete sweep of the Electoral College in 1936, when he won all except eight votes.

But what does the math suggest the 2024 margins will be?

Safe Seats Aside

There are a number of states regarded as safe for each party – think California and New York for the Democrats and West Virginia and Wyoming for the Republicans. If these are calculated, President Joe Biden can expect to start the Nov. 5 presidential election with 191 votes1 safely in hand and another 352 either likely or leaning Democrat – giving a total of 226 votes, just 44 shy of a second term. The Republican contender – presently polled as Donald Trump – has a steeper hill to climb.

The 19 states considered safe for Republicans add up to 1213 votes, with likely or leaning locales added coming to a further 98,4 for a grand total of 219 – 51 short of a majority. Ultimately, the election will be fought in swing states, otherwise known as battleground states, where the population could swing either red or blue depending on the cycle. And it is here where the numbers get spicy.

Battle to Win

There are seven states crucial to crossing the finish line:

  • Nevada 6 EC votes
  • Arizona 11 EC votes
  • Wisconsin 10 EC votes
  • Michigan 15 EC votes
  • Pennsylvania 19 EC votes
  • North Carolina 16 EC votes
  • Georgia 16 EC votes

For Biden to win, he needs to collect at least three states with EC votes equaling 44 or more. In 2020, he took all of these states except for North Carolina – but that was a different election, and three years of power have not been quite the antidote to chaos that the electorate was promised.

Trump – or the eventual Republican nominee – must take either Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina (51), or, without PA, a combination of four or more states totaling the requisite number. Certainly, the GOP candidate has a tougher battle ahead, but extensive polling suggests that the obstacle is not entirely insurmountable.

Polling Suggests …

Taking the RealClearPolitics polling averages for each of the key swing states, it would appear that it is Biden who has to do the heavy lifting. As Liberty Nation’s Senior Political Analyst Tim Donner recently noted:

“Trump won one election and lost another by identical margins in the Electoral College. In each case, no more than 50,000 votes in three states determined the winner. And yet, at no time in the entirety of either the 2016 or 2020 presidential campaigns – or in the final tally – did Trump ever hold a lead in the popular vote. But now, he is running away in almost every battleground state.”

So, what do the polls indicate for the battleground arenas?

  • Nevada – Trump +7%
  • Arizona – Trump +4.5%
  • Wisconsin – Trump +0.6%
  • Michigan – Trump +4.8%
  • Pennsylvania – Biden +0.6%
  • North Carolina – Trump +7.5%
  • Georgia – Trump +7.2%

Referring back to our win and loss scenarios, Biden may well take Pennsylvania, but he is outside even the margin of error in Georgia, North Carolina, and Michigan. This means that if he does succeed in the Keystone State, he needs to win at least two more – his most likely targets are Wisconsin and Arizona. The former is on a knife’s edge and the latter is almost five points in favor of Trump. Should Biden happen to lose Pennsylvania altogether, that hill to climb would become much steeper.

As for the GOP candidate – assuming it is Trump – if he takes all the states where he is polling seven or more points ahead, he still only earns 38 Electoral College votes, 13 shy of the brass ring. He would also need to take either Michigan’s 15 votes (he is, after all, almost five points up there), or Pennsylvania’s (not unthinkable as he lost this state in 2020 by just over one point and won it in 2016 by a similarly tight margin), or both Arizona and Wisconsin for 21 votes.

A Long Road Ahead

LN’s Tim Donner astutely pointed out in his analysis that the polls apply only to “today — not yesterday, not tomorrow, and not in six months.” The nation is still more than eight months away from casting its vote, and polling this far out is often flawed. And yet a basic reality remains: Biden is unpopular and needs to turn the ship around if he wants to retain the keys to the White House.

Illegal Immigration Hurts the Poor

The betting markets currently favor the former president to defeat the sitting one; this is always a useful tool as real people are putting their money where their mouths are. It seems that cash bettors are of the opinion that Biden – beset by high disapproval ratings, questions about his cognitive health and his family’s business empire, a southern border crisis that has leached to northern blue strongholds, and commitments to two wars – will have neither the fortitude or physical strength to fix all these issues, let alone the crumbling economy, by the time America chooses its next president.

PISSING INTO THE WIND -- EVEN AN UMBRELLA DOES NOT HELP

 

Strategery – Senate Leader Mitch McConnell Says He’s Stepping Down in November

The transparency of this timing is almost too clear.  A couple of days ago, the Koch network said they were going to drop back to a defensive position and look to retain their influence in the House and Senate.  The next day John Thune announced he was endorsing President Trump.  Deceptive Conservatives, aka “DeceptiCons,” are always positioning to retain power structures.

Today, Mitch McConnell announces he will step down from a leadership position in the Senate in November… DUH!!  The greatest likelihood is that President Trump will win the November election; Mitch doesn’t have an option at that point.  So, what we are seeing is DeceptiCon positioning. It’s all about power retention, which is to say, retention of money and influence.

John Thune has been groomed to replace Mitch McConnell for years.  You might remember when Thune contemplated retiring a few years ago, and the professional donors convinced him to stay on “just in case” Trump returned to DC.

Thune’s recent endorsement of Trump is like Brutus welcoming Caesar back to Rome, the intents are analogous.  McConnell will exit Senate leadership after the November election, Thune will rise, and the anti-Trump antagonisms will continue.  Senators Barrasso and Cornyn will position to participate in the process.

Removing the stench of McConnell and his DeceptiCon crew from the Senate means much more than just removing Mitch McConnell from leadership.  The apparatus of the Senate needs to be purged with solid primary contests to take down the power structure.  Purge the crew, then salt the entire upper chamber, then bring in an exorcist and fill every room with sage smoke for a week…. or something.

Don’t fall for the trickery…. McConnell isn’t stepping down because it’s in Trump’s best interests.  McConnell is stepping down as part of a strategy to oppose the America First agenda that Trump represents.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitch McConnell, the longest-serving Senate leader in history who maintained his power in the face of dramatic convulsions in the Republican Party for almost two decades, will step down from that position in November.

McConnell, who turned 82 last week, announced his decision Wednesday in the well of the Senate.

McConnell said he plans to serve out his Senate term, which ends in January 2027, “albeit from a different seat in the chamber.”

He spoke at times haltingly, his emotions evident, as he looked back on his career. Dozens of members of his staff lined up behind him on the back wall of the chamber, some wiping away tears, as family and friends looked down from the gallery above. Senators from both parties — most of them taken by surprise by the announcement — trickled into the chamber and exchanged hugs and handshakes.

President Joe Biden, who has had a productive working relationship with McConnell, said he was sorry to hear the news.

“I’ve trusted him and we have a great relationship,” Biden said. “We fight like hell. But he has never, never, never misrepresented anything.”

Aides said McConnell’s announcement was unrelated to his health. The Kentucky senator had a concussion from a fall last year and two public episodes where his face briefly froze while he was speaking.

“As I have been thinking about when I would deliver some news to the Senate, I always imagined a moment when I had total clarity and peace about the sunset of my work,” McConnell said. “A moment when I am certain I have helped preserve the ideals I so strongly believe. It arrived today.”

The senator had been under increasing pressure from the restive, and at times hostile wing of his party that has aligned firmly with Trump. The two have been estranged since December 2020, when McConnell refused to abide Trump’s lie that the election of Democrat Joe Biden as president was the product of fraud.

But while McConnell’s critics within the GOP conference had grown louder, their numbers had not grown appreciably larger, a marker of McConnell’s strategic and tactical skill and his ability to understand the needs of his fellow Republican senators.

McConnell gave no specific reason for the timing of his decision, which he has been contemplating for months, but he cited the recent death of his wife’s youngest sister as a moment that prompted introspection. “The end of my contributions are closer than I’d prefer,” McConnell said.

But his remarks were also light at times as he talked about the arc of his Senate career.  (read more)

Mitch isn’t going anywhere, so just skip this narrative nonsense.  Mitch is simply stepping back from the microphone so that Thune’s fingerprints are on the anti-Trump dagger.

One of the more challenging facets, to awakening the general public on the scale of corruption within Washington DC, is the need for people to drop party designations.

This is never truer than within the U.S. Senate where the mistaken “us -vs- them” perspective remains a pesky hurdle.

The blue team and red team are mirror images of themselves.  They are not opposites, they are mirrored – a big difference.

The policy objective is the same, and the business model within DC (K Street) benefits the upper chamber the most.

Within this dynamic, Mitch McConnell is the mirror image of Harry Reid.  Mitch has been grooming his replacement for a long time; that replacement is John Thune. Senator Thune is in a position that demands stealth.  Ideologically, think of John Thune as the mirror image of Gavin Newsom.  They are not opposites, they are mirrored – a big difference.

The system of affluence, influence and confluence has been created to self-sustain regardless of party affiliation. The Senate is one club with one ideological perspective. Within that club rule #1 dominates: none of the members will ever expose another member. So, when there is corrupt activity within the Senate, no one from within the institution will expose another. This is the code of Omerta within the upper chamber.  This is the way of the “my good friend” Senate and how it operates.

THE CABAL

Current Senate Leader Mitch McConnell has a leadership group who carry out the institutional objectives of the upper chamber as a body.  They include: Senator John Thune (whip), Senator John Barrasso (conference chair), Roy Blunt (committee chair), Todd Young (NRSC chair), Jodi Ernst (conference vice-chair), and Chuck Grassley (president pro tempore). None of these senators make a move publicly without approval from Leader McConnell.

In August of 2020, before the presidential election, Senate Whip John Thune rebuked the mail-in ballot concerns expressed by President Trump. Thune did this because ultimately the objectives of the upper chamber were more favorably aligned if President Trump was removed.

WASHINGTON DC – […] Asked if he agreed with the president’s repeated charges that mailed-in balloting will lead to a “rigged election” and “massive voter fraud,” the Senate majority whip told reporters, “I don’t.”

“Mailed-in voting has been used in a lot of places for a long time and, honestly, we’ve got a lot of folks that, as you know, they’re investing heavily in trying … to win that war. It’s always a war too for mail-in ballots. Both sides compete, and it’s always an area where I think our side, at least in my experience, has done pretty well,” Thune answered, adding: “I think we want to assure people it’s going to work, it’s secure and if they vote that way it’s going to count.” (read more)

(L-R) Barrasso, Blunt, McConnell, Thune and Ernst.

You often hear people wonder why the GOP doesn’t push back against the Democrats.  The reason is simple; the GOP are the right wing of the UniParty bird, the Democrats are the left wing.  They are mirror images of each other.

Both clubs are attached to the body of big corrupt corporatist government.

Watch the trade front.  Watch international trade, economics, banking and multinational corporation influence.   That’s the ‘trillions are at stake,’ and that’s where the opposition to everything MAGA comes from.

There is a man who sells sage, which he collects and weaves, at the Wounded Knee Cemetery. Charges $5, and says he uses the money to pay his utility bills. It smells good and is fresh. Buy some and use it to purify the Senate. Great suggestion, Sundance, to burn the sage.

Can’t help but imagine what future history books would say about this recent time period. If they are allowed to be written.

To look back and read about the anti American criminals that were able to convince the sheep overall that it was worse to say the elections were stolen than it was to actually have performed the crime of stealing the elections. And that group think is what brought a once great nation down. You are either part of the solution or part of the problem. There really is no in between. The only thing left to be written is what happened after the people let it happen again after the destruction had clearly already begun. I pray that it doesn’t happen again. But not so sure praying will get us out of this one.

Thune’s endorsement, as well as the Koch admission, indicates that the ‘Republicans’ now accept that their candidate, more probably the president, will be Trump. They are now redirecting their sights to Congress and more local politicians, in order to thwart Trump from ‘underneath’….allow him to be president, but attempt to block everything he plans to do. One ‘positive’ aspect of the Republican endorsement may be how this plays out with the various court cases that Trump has. I imagine that they will continue to wither and drop from the vine, as the Republicans now set their sights elsewhere.

In case you went to sleep last night and you woke up with the details being foggy; 

McConnell is the devil’s executive minion, Thune got promoted to devil’s executive minion. 

9/10ths of both chambers need to be run out of dodge on a rail. 

I know 1 or 2 in the upper, I might trust, but reserve that opinion for a second and third confirm. 

I am not sure I can come up with a name in the lower chamber, I would trust. 

Everything this morning is still at beyond disgraceful level.
