Non-Binary Ideology Behind Biden’s ID XO Change

Biden’s America is pushing hard for forcing the breakdown of gender normative, heteronormative standards that are essential reflections of the overwhelming aggregates of human expression and being. The President’s latest move is to give state sanction and legitimacy to the notion of the non-gender gender called non-binary, a special category that seems to be dominated by adult children who like to dress like post-modern apocalyptic clowns.

Passports and US ID’s will now offer a new category on gender identity, non-binary. The move is sure to be one exploited by criminals and terrorists who will use the special designation to hide their true identities. The Biden administration hopes to break down social norms to accelerate the destruction of Americanism and the rise of a new marxio-corporatism that can exploit humans from cradle (those they let live) to grave.

U.S. to issue gender neutral passports, take steps to combat anti- transgender laws

Excerpt:

 

WASHINGTON, March 31 (Reuters) – Americans will be allowed to choose an X for gender on their passport applications and select their sex on Social Security cards, the Biden administration said on Thursday in announcing measures to support transgender Americans against wave of state laws targeting them.

The State Department in June said U.S. citizens could select their gender on applications without having to submit medical documentation. In October, it issued the first American passport with an “X” gender marker, designed to give nonbinary, intersex and gender-nonconforming people an option other than male or female on their travel document.

“Starting on April 11, U.S. citizens will be able to select an X as their gender marker on their U.S. passport application, and the option will become available for other forms of documentation next year,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement.

How Can We Think About This 21st Century War?

by Betsy Dorminey

Mature Language Warning

Faced with the horror of the unfolding war in Ukraine a young linguist of my acquaintance decided to conduct a bit of “man in the street” polling, 21st-century style.  The original post featured a screen shot of a Russian language post: her notes and translation appear below.

I speak a little Russian, so I’ve been reading the Russian-language side of Reddit.  Selection bias since it’s Russians posting on Western media, but since it’s *in* Russian it should be mostly free of trolls.  Most of them are really not happy with Putin.  Again, my language skills are rough but my translation:

Title:  Jesus Christ, where we’re headed is completely insane

Text:  Fucking hell, it’s already been six days of this shit.  Six days of following this clusterfuck and I can’t believe this isn’t a simulation, that it’s not some experiment on hamsters.  I’ve already gone stark raving mad, I can’t sleep from the panic.  What’s next?  How can we live like this? Why are the war hawks yelling “this is what Ukrainians deserve, our fight is righteous!”  Why the fuck does anyone support this goddamn regime?  God fucking fuck dammit HELP

Translator’s note:  hard for me to translate the vast arsenal of curse words in the Russian language, the post was peppered with them.

The official line, of course, is different.  State-controlled media portrays it as a “special military operation,” “de-nazification,” or “protection of Russian-speaking peoples.  But as Sean Illing reports in Vox dissenting journalists have fled and we know Russians are protesting the Ukraine invasion.  The state has imposed draconian penalties on dissent.  (Fifteen years in the slammer for using the “w” word!)  This expletive-laden cri de coeur really brings it home.

Good news is hard to find.  As Kyle Smith observes in The New York Post, journalism suffers when “what neutral principles do we stand for?” is replaced by “which side are we on?” Either you live in an authoritarian country like Russia where government controls the media, or you live in an authoritarian country like the U.S. where the media controls the government.  Ironic, isn’t it, since technology empowers anyone with internet access and a keyboard to reach the world.  You have to hunt, and peck. Fortunately there are clever youngsters out there who know how to bypass parental/governmental controls through social media.

Forget war crimes, treaties, the UN, and international tribunals.  War is a crime against humanity.  Killing people and destroying their homes is bad, and wrong.  Pious accords and laws on the conduct of warfare don’t make it right, or better.  An exceptional article by Dexter Filkins in the September 8, 2021  New Yorker asks, “Did Making the Rules of War Better Make the World Worse?”  Our obsession with rules has attempted to persuade us that wars can be legally waged in accordance with them.  No fair targeting civilians, okay?

Filkiins focuses on Humane: How the United States Abandoned Peace and Reinvented War,  by Samuel Moyn, a professor of history and of jurisprudence at Yale.  Moyn evokes Clausewitz and Tolstoy, Sherman, Afghanistan, and the My Lai massacre, and identifies a turning point in 1977 when the Geneva Convention was updated to impose rules on combatants where hitherto only destructive force had prevailed.  Moyn bemoans such legal niceties for damping the public outcry that should induce politicians to end such conflicts:  “”Humane” war [i]s a consolation prize for the failure to constrain the resort to force in the first place.”  (extra quotation marks mine.)  Protest is how a population responds to war and strives to end it.  See above.

It’s far from clear that having military lawyers second-guess generals has produced less war, or a safer world.  In the end, force will out.  As Joseph Stalin reportedly asked, how many divisions has the Pope?  I’ve got to believe Putin is familiar with that line.

Filkins takes issue with some of Moyn’s conclusions, but agrees in the end that “efforts to curb the cruelty of military force may have backfired.”  Fleets of drones and “smart bombs” and oceans of intel haven’t kept us out of armed conflicts.  For all its military might the United States hasn’t really “won” a war since 1945.  And, having just concluded two “forever wars” – Iraq and Afghanistan – Filkins cautions that the U.S. may be on the brink of a new cold war.  Or a hot one.

Conventions about how to wage war within limits have reduced the incentives to stop fighting. I can only hope that the players moving these lethal chess pieces around the Kievan Rus will stop and think a minute.  Assuming, of course, that they can gain access to reliable news about it.

Because, to echo the Russian post, what the fuck? We can’t live like this.

Slapping the Mask Off – How American “Leftism” is Destroying Adult Civility

Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, and in so doing he ripped the mask off the American Billionaire Left, exposing the dangerous ideology by revealing through the reactions of “Americans” the division between the adults of America and the Peter Pan adults of the American Left, who clearly have rejected Bill or Rights values for authoritarian, police state values.

But this slap began in 2015, when the Punch a Nazi meme was born, the meme that reinforced the notion that human beings have a right to physically harm and threaten others for their beliefs and words alone.

As Donald J. Trump rose in 2015, many of my former friends started to separate from me either because I hadn’t gone far right or I hadn’t gone far left.  As Trump rose, he emboldened far right elements just through his success alone and his use of certain phrases that seem to come from this same far right.

America First was once genuinely a dog whistle for America for the Whites, though I have no doubt Trump was not intending it as a dog whistle for white supremacism.  Even if he wasn’t, the marketing decisions of the Trump campaign both emboldened the far left and the far right.

As white supremacists marched, Antifa was able to use the fear of the white man to gain recruits, mostly from suburban upper middle class white neighborhoods.  In the course of the great meme wars of 2015, the prevailing brutal expressions of both sides came in the form of dropping Communists from helicopters and punching Nazis.

Actual white supremacism hasn’t been popular among American whites since probably as far back as the 1970s.  There are far less isolated white communities than there were before the 70s, and since the 70s, the conglomeration of most of our major social institutions has accelerated so much that even where different races live in racially exclusive communities, they are still experiencing daily interactions with people that represent most of the major races of the world in the places they work and the places they shop.

The internet has only accelerated our humanizing of peoples regardless of their races as more and more humans in America find allegiances with others more based on their shared beliefs than their race.  The hysteria over white supremacism has been almost entirely ‘fake news,’ to borrow a phrase that also emerged in 2015.

In point of fact, too many humans that happen to be white or happen to be black, especially, find themselves involved in friendly, and even familial, ways with people of different races.  My family, for instance, in the last two generations, has absorbed DNA and created blood family ties with people of African descent, people of “Latin” descent, and people of Asian descent.  And my story is hardly unique among other previously white families that are now mixed-race families.

White Supremacism was the scapegoat the American Left needed to recruit white elites, children of well-off white parents, children who more than almost any other group of white children, most assuredly benefited significantly from white dominance (which wasn’t ever white dominance, but really only rich white family dominance).

The American Left itself is largely the product of agit prop created by the few corporations that control the vast majority of content Americans consume on a daily basis.  These corporations themselves are controlled by a small number of overwhelmingly white billionaire families that derived their wealth which created their initial power most assuredly from actual white supremacism.

It is not lost on us who pay attention that the American Left in its current form is wholly the manufactured product of the two classes of whites that most benefited from white supremacism, the billionaire class and the upper middle class.  The children of these families would write the books and become the activist celebrities of the anti-white movement that was really a dialectical white supremacist movement the whole time.

The American Left is the Dialectical KKK.

Black Americans appears to mostly have bought the sale, convinced that the white devil is poised to finish them off at any time, convinced mostly by the most powerful, the most beneficial of white supremacism, in America today.  It is as if the master has convinced them that the poor whites living next to them are the reason they are slaves, so the master whips them up in a frenzy to attack the poor whites, but lets them know that they can never defeat these white devils without the assistance, the aid, of the good whites, the slave masters themselves.  Also, they will have to stay on the plantation if they wish to stay safe from the murdering white devil.

Preventing the American people from building a race-irrelevant society based on an Individual-rights constitutional Republic is the main goal of this project, the American Left project, as engineered by the whites that benefited the most from actual racism.  The goal is to destroy the ability of the weak to stop the strong from controlling them.  The goal is to keep racism alive.

The bill of rights, when the state fears a people who assume these rights are theirs, is the bedrock of a society that can exchange value with one another without being compelled to like one another.  The American Left wants total control of hearts and minds, because their project demands it.  Without total control, their worldview can never come to be, as it is fundamentally anathema with peaceful coexistence.  It is a war ideology designed to produce more war, more conflict, more upheaval, more dependence on central power to protect you from the devils.

It is a psycho-social tool designed by white billionaires to corral the black communities and contain the poor white communities.  It is a psycho-social tool designed to murder the American republic and replace it with something that allows the white billionaire class to move with impunity, whose end goals have little to do with ending racism, bigotry, and hate.

It has everything to do with controlling competition, primarily from the white communities, who have to lose freedom to be controlled, but also to maintain control over the black communities, who can be granted a slight increase in freedoms while still being controlled.  The freedoms granted are bribes for the black community to continue to be the DNC’s source for votes without working for them, to become a massive voting block that will never hold you accountable.

In this backdrop, the events of February 28th, 2022, will go down in history as the beginning of the end of the Billionaire Left’s stranglehold on society and culture, and the beginning of the end of their stranglehold on black communities.

What happened on this date?  Will Smith announced to the world that American Leftist thought is entirely and wholly incompatible with basic humanity, and most assuredly with adult maturity.  Leftist thought at its core not only allows for individuals to violently assault human beings for words and beliefs alone, but actually demands it.  Failure to punch a Nazi could result in you being punched for being a Nazi.

Will Smith, during a live broadcast of the Academy Awards, walked on stage and slapped a comedian, Chris Rock, for daring to make a joke about his wife.  Immediately afterwards, the assaulter was the one offering comfort by other celebrities during a commercial break.  After the break, Will Smith incorporated Leftist emotion-speak to veil himself once again in the priest-king aura the Billionaire Left has worked so hard to cultivate with the celebrity class, the priest-cult spokesmodels of the DNC, the political vehicle of power of the Billionaire Left.

He wrapped himself up in “I am Jesus” language shortly after just slapping a comedian for making a joke about his wife.

The Academy, that bastion of nonce the world has come to know through such luminaries as Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein, not only didn’t immediately have Will Smith removed for assaulting one of their chosen presenters, they went ahead and awarded him an Oscar for best actor.  His speech did just as much to undo the cultural and social power of billionaire leftism as his slap did.

The way the Leftists treated Will Smith after violating basic adult human civility standards that many children have already learned (sticks and stones break my bones, but words will never hurt me) further destroys their social and cultural standing among an increasing number of Americans, including black Americans, who are already beginning to peel away from the DNC machine in growing recognition of how they’ve been played by billionaires to do the bidding of billionaires by promising to end a devil that didn’t exist anywhere but inside these same billionaires the whole time.

Black America, the threatening call is coming from inside your own house, the billionaire left you so unconditionally support.

Will Smith claimed in his acceptance speech to be some sort of ambassador of love, a typical starting point for any leftist assault.  Afterwards, he then made himself the Moses of his people by declaring that he was a river to his people.  This is the second stage of a leftist assault.  The final stage is to identify the devil that is interfering with love and declaring your personal intention and confidence in ending hate by murdering the anti-love people.

Will Smith didn’t get to that final part of his speech, but he walked you up to the door of it, implying even that ‘my people’ need a rescuer, which means they must have an enemy they must be ‘protected from.’

First, the billionaire left appeals to your basic humanity by promising to be the ambassadors of love.  They’ll serenade you for a while at this point, gushing with declarations like “love wins” and “love doesn’t judge.”  Next, they’ll identify themselves somehow as the priests of this cult who have the secret (woke) power to finally conquer hate and let love win.  Finally, they’ll identify the enemy of love and proceed to push you to hate these enemies of love and commit to ending the existential threat to love by murdering, enslaving, and excommunicating from society these enemies of love.

It is a gnostic religion that requires human sacrifices.

When Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, the next day “Americans’ actually debated whether Smith did anything wrong or not.  I combed the local news sites, perhaps as much as a hundred, from around the country to get a gauge of the country, and what I found was disheartening and encouraging.  It was disheartening because the adults who seem to believe that physically harming others for beliefs and words is ok, (in other words, it’s ok to punch Nazis), was close to 50 percent of the responses I saw on these news sites’ posts.

This group, whether they realize it or not, wants to make sure that free speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences (which means it’s not actually free speech).  They are seditionists at heart, for they reject the American Bill of Rights and replace it with Billionaire Leftism.

These local news outlets are all controlled by the same handful of Leftist billionaire corporations, and it showed, as the narratives that emerged in their stories fell along two lines, ‘what do you think of what happened’ or highlighting the traumatic and deadly disease of losing your hair.

The decision-makers in this cult must rightly have determined that attempting to build a narrative that legitimized Will Smith would nakedly reveal the true nature of these local news outlets that have devolved to become mere content marketing farms and agit prop distribution centers for the billionaire left.

It would reveal that the people writing your news are immature, violent, dangerous children who are very unsafe neighbors to have in your community.  If they weren’t, they’d soon be fired.

At the same time, they couldn’t speak directly against Will Smith, a fact that in and of itself should indict these local news outlets as it is as clear that Will Smith assaulted a man and acted like a spoiled brat petulant child, both during the slap and during the acceptance speech, something that is obvious to mature human adults not indoctrinated into a cult.

The goal here is to push that proverbial Overton window towards greater acceptance of punishing thought, something the billionaire class is desperate to gain control over, human thought, lest the innovators among the poors one day fell their Empires simply by no longer needing them.

What was encouraging, though, was how many Americans, of many races, in response to these adult children supporting slapping a man for saying a joke seemed to clearly see how obviously inviolate of adult civility this whole affair represents.  But more than that, I saw responses from people not mired in deep political and philosophical thought still clearly understand the existential risk to Americanism that this idea we can punish people for words and thoughts alone has become.

If you believe in punching Nazis, you are a seditionist against the American republic, which exists not in Washington but in the hearts of the real government, the American people (leftists not welcomed, for you are so violently opposed to it).

We are a nation that does not require a people to even like one another to exchange value with one another peacefully.  This is what civility is.  It’s not about politeness for politeness’ sake, or some sort of puritanical convention, or, as the billionaire left really wants you to believe, white supremacist constructs (which should tell you in and of itself how dangerous and how seditious to Americanism this billionaire leftism has become).

Civility enables people to mind their own business and still be able to buy a hotdog from a vendor or start an education learning how become a geneticist.  Without civility, open thought dies.  Without civility, the access to neutral truth dies.  We become the corrupt, through and through, like Russia, or China, both of which are experiencing massive collapses in key industries in large part thanks to the deep corruption that emerges from societies that punch Nazis, like the billionaire left wants you do.

As for the theory that this was a work, well, one cannot fully rule out that possibility.  If it were a work, and that were discovered, then this whole affair would dramatically accelerate the death of the billionaire left’s stranglehold on culture.

If I am correct in my assumptions, over the next few months you will begin to see more activity by billionaires that were either once part of the billionaire left or never were, that start to move towards supporting “American” standards like the right to free speech.  This will happen not because they all found the American Jesus in them, so to speak, but because they see the writing on the wall.  American Leftism is no longer a viable vehicle of power in America.

The other leftist billionaires might find themselves doubling down and going even harder, which will only work to the good of those of us who resist their corruption-enabling, cheat-enabling cult.

Will Smith smacked the mask of the American Billionaire Left, and it is never going back on again.

Left Makes Huge Mistake Attacking Parental Rights

By Ralph Benko

Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe attacked the right of parents to have a say in the public-school curriculum, revealing the left’s “power to the state” obsession, cancelling the old New Left’s slogan: “power to the people.”

The left has a fanatical belief in government. They just don’t get how out-of-step with regular people this makes them. Very much including people of color.

McAuliffe declared, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. …” He doubled down on Meet the Press.

After McAuliffe’s humiliating defeat, the left went off to fight “book banning,” libeling parents’ objections to age-inappropriate material in the schools. Sly!

Conservative commentators tended to focus on the political cost of rejecting the legitimacy of parental concern about giving schoolteachers, who in turn are channeling avant-garde elites, unchecked power to prescribe morality. It’s bigger than that.

The “culture war” really is the left’s cultural revolution. The right’s cultural counter-revolution is a “love that dare not speak its name.” It’s mostly about sex.

Out of a comely modesty, this fight typically gets euphemized as about “privacy” or “consent” or “choice.” That said… it’s largely about sex: access to erotic artworks (extending to the pornographic), birth control, free love, modesty, gender preferences, marriage, and abortion. Secondarily, America’s legitimacy.

The parental rights fight is largely over whose morality will be the standard for the next generation. However, in undermining parental rights, the left undermines the very constitutional grounds by which they have so capably advanced their agenda.

Per “Exploring Constitutional Conflicts,”

The Supreme Court, in two decisions in the 1920s, read the Fourteenth Amendment’s liberty clause to prohibit states from interfering with the private decisions of educators and parents to shape the education of children. In Meyer v Nebraska (1923), the Supreme Court struck down a state law that prohibited the teaching of German and other foreign languages to children until the ninth grade. … Two years later, in Pierce v Society of Sisters, the Court applied the principles of Meyer to strike down and Oregon law that compelled all children to attend public schools….

The doctrines generated by two parental rights cases formed the precedents on which the Supreme Court relied in striking down a state’s law prohibiting contraceptives to married couples, a right to possess and view pornography, and the basis for a woman’s supposed right to “choose.” And so on.

Much “progressive” judicial advocacy — and their Supreme Court victories — is founded in two Supreme Court cases affirming parental rights as fundamental constitutional rights. If the left succeeds in demolishing parental rights, they would undermine the foundation on which much of their cultural revolution has been built.

Big oopsie! That said, the leaders of the right don’t grasp how precarious the left’s predicament is. The right almost always fails to exploit the left’s internal contradictions.

I know first-hand. I was president of a conservative advocacy group, “Of the People,” in the 1990s. We proposed a state parental rights constitutional amendment.

In opposing us, the left relied on a false claim that such an amendment would shield child abuse. It wasn’t a good faith argument, but it worked.

Outspent, misrepresented, weakened by factional infighting, we failed at the Colorado ballot box. And yet.

Our underpowered effort terrified the left.

The Guttmacher Institute’s after action report concluded “the [defeat in Colorado] … appears to reflect a failure on the part of the amendment’s supporters to mount a serious campaign. … They thought Of The People’s deep pockets and the public’s perception that parents have rights were all it would take,” observes Patrick Steadman, deputy campaign manager for Protect Our Children, the coalition that opposed the amendment. Steadman and others believe that the race might have been much closer if the proponents had mounted an effective campaign.”

Surely true. Yet our (in reality, shallow-pocketed) initiative led to knock on or copycat initiatives in 28 states.

The hard left People for the American Way used our Parental Rights Amendment as Exhibit A in its direct mail fundraising for years after. When I saw one, I called its then-president, Ralph Neas to complain that they were not attacking me by name. The notoriety would have been invaluable!

Of The People’s Parental Rights Amendment was ahead of its time. The time is now.

The Atlantic shrewdly frames the left’s reality distortion field in an article by Olga Khazan (mentioning Of the People in passing), Red Parent, Blue Parent: “parents are divided over what matters most: parents’ rights or the common good.” False choice.

That said, the leaders of Conservatism, Inc. only dimly, if at all, grasp the magnitude of the parents’ rights threat to the left. And may fumble it. Again.

Memo to the right: Parental rights would be a very powerful tool to thwart the progressive’s ongoing cultural revolution.

Leading up to the mass mailer Presidential non-election of 2020, Big Social got whiff of a damning news item that could potentially derail the Biden train, the Hunter Biden laptop.

In a story alleging that Hunter Biden’s laptop was retrieved from a computer repair shop, Big Social decided to first immediately slap a big fact check claim that the story was not true, was fake news, was Russian disinformation.

But the story kept going out, and it was gaining in credibility, so Big Social decided to slap the old misinformation tag on the whole affair, nuking the story and any creators that dared continue overtly reporting on the laptop in future posts.  Trust the science, kids.

Hunter Biden’s laptop revealed direct ties between Joe Biden and Hunter Biden in business deals in the Ukraine, among other damning items.  A post-election poll shows 17 percent of the Biden voters would not have voted for him if they thought the stories connected to the laptop were real.  Big Social had done its job, in alliance with the DNC, to assure a plausible victory in the mass mailer non-election of 2020.

But now that Big Social has been exposed, again, and again and again and again, I ask you this, what next?  Do we continue to turn to the state for relief from a problem that the state itself seems more than willing to exploit?  If we empower the state to check Big Social, do we think it will stop with merely restraining it the way we the people would wish it to be restrained?

This story to me speaks volumes about the futility of ragertainment in opposition to what the DNC and its megacorp allies are trying to do to change the very nature of governance in America.  Rather than spending our time and energy seeking relief from the state from our corporate overlords, perhaps it is time for us to disconnect from them and reconnect with us, we in America still willing to exchange value with anyone, whether we like them or not, willing to follow our Bill of Rights and our Constitutional standards.

Maybe it is time for us to start simply being Americans again, where we live and in what we do.  We will find one another, I have no doubt in that.  In a span of two weeks, using a network of letter carriers, English Peasants in 1381 set off a revolt that nearly toppled a King but for their fear of the very idea of King itself.  We don’t even need a revolt, we just need gardens and microfactories and shared open source tech that enables us to equip ourselves with the tools that create sustainable flourishing for our households and our communities, be they geographically proximal or distributed.

The less you need them, the more you can protect what you steward, the more free we all are.  America emerged from this reality of power, the people who lived in these lands were sustainably flourishing, at the household and community levels.  They could survive and thrive on their own.  The only power the state had over them was the gun and their idea of authority.

So the Constitutional Republic with Individual Rights ethics was born, in large part, I support, due to this reality of power.  Today, we have exciting opportunities to utilize technology and revisit old tech to create the same type of conditions the wanna-be-dictators of America faced in the summer of 1787, the reality of power that they needed the people far more than the people needed them, and the people knew it.

On March 17, 2022, The New York Times stated it had verified the authenticity of a laptop and its data as belonging to the president’s son, Hunter Biden. This was the same laptop holding information that Twitter, Facebook, and other corporate media immediately suppressed when The New York Post, a right-leaning competitor of The New York Times, reported on it three weeks before the 2020 presidential election.

If they had known about one of the Biden family scandals, such as the Hunter Biden laptop information, 17 percent of Joe Biden’s voters wouldn’t have voted for him, found a 2020 post-election poll. This means big tech’s suppression of this story likely made enough difference to tip Joe Biden into his low-margin win in the Electoral College.

Back in October 2020, Twitter and Facebook immediately responded to The New York Post’s publication of information from Hunter Biden’s laptop by effectively banning it from their platforms that effectively monopolize…

After admitting to a “coding logic error,” agency strikes out 24% of deaths among children

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) admitted last week that nearly a quarter of Covid-19 deaths among children were counted due to a “coding logic error.” This same algorithmical error caused deaths from the virus to be overcounted in all age groups.

“On March 15, 2022, data on deaths were adjusted after resolving a coding logic error. This resulted in decreased death counts across all demographic categories,” read a footnote on the CDC’s Covid Data Tracker website. In a statement to Reuters, the CDC said that fixing this error removed 72,277 deaths previously reported across 26 states, including 416 pediatric deaths.

More than 968,000 people in the US have died of Covid-19, per CDC data, with age group data available for 784,303 of these deaths. Only 1,356 of these people were under the age of 18, meaning children accounted for…

Justice Clarence Thomas has been hospitalized with an infection, the Supreme Court announced in a statement.

Thomas was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., on Friday evening after experiencing flu-like symptoms, Supreme Court spokesperson Patricia McCabe said in a statement.

He was diagnosed with an infection after undergoing tests and is being treated with intravenous antibiotics, McCabe said. She did not provide more details on the nature of the infection.

“His symptoms are abating, he is resting comfortably, and he expects to be released from the hospital in a day or two,” McCabe said. “Justice Thomas will participate in the consideration and discussion of any cases for which he is not present on the basis of the briefs, transcripts and audio of the oral arguments.”

Is it Time to Ghost the Left?
Your news outlets are not in the business of making money. They’re mostly subsidized by the mega corp that owns them.
Megacorpos, whatever you want to call them, produce content marketing packaged as news.
These same megacorpos have more lately also been using entertainment production more for content marketing than seeking to make profitable products.
These megacorps have been subsidized, in essense, by foreign markets, with China being bigger than maybe all the others combined. China has become the de facto subsizer of content marketing in America for the past 5-8 years.
The number one content marketing producer, by far and away, with over 80 percent shares in almost every market, is the DNC and the coalition of hate and opportunism that supports this death machine.
The DNC has been using megacorps, and being used by them as well (these folks are all always only frenemies), to push narratives and create ‘realities’ that create support for destroying a Constitutional Republican America, by any means necessary, as this slows down the mega-powered minute few from being able to move as quickly at manipulating society to their advantage as the rest of the world can, especially their number one frenemy, China.
None of these nation-states have a people with such a sense of individual liberty entitlement, and the DNC and megacorp coalition want nothing more than to join the rest of the world at the expense of American individual rights.
None of the major social and cultural means of production owners (and there’s maybe 15 or 20 total companies that own 80 plus percent of most of our major markets) have any interest in restoring or preserving rights for individuals. Not a one.
They want to compete with Chinese billionaires, but they imagine they can keep their DNC dangerous dragon ally on a leash.
This is not about being pro or anti-monopolistic, this is about the values of the leaders of those monopolies becoming fundamentally revolutionary in nature, antithetical to an American Constitutional Republic with a Bill of Rights that emphasizes the rights of individuals to choose their own beliefs, not have them forced on them by the powerful minute few.
Americans have a right to bad beliefs.  End stop.  No one can be forced to like anyone or anything or any belief or any action they choose not to like.  This is America, not Soviet DNC, not yet.
The DNC looks at the megacorp Citadelians in the same way as these elites view them, as a necessary dangerous dragon ally, but one they will ultimately control.
These alliance are all frenemy alliances. Everyone in this ‘cult of self over the masses’ cabal sees themselves as the final highlander, ready to kill their best friend when the time comes.  In minecraft, of course….
Perhaps it is time for the rest of us to simply start ignoring them
Those of us not fooled by the hateful agit prop, those of us not choosing to be opportunists and take advantage of the passive aggressive unaccountable type of power the DNC narratives create, and those of us who are not simple cowards afraid to speak up, might want to simply start ignoring these people altogether.
Stop complaining about their wackadoodle bad art woketarian garbage content. Laugh at it, sure, but stop acting angry. Let these fools play out their melodramatic out-of-tune song, and laugh while they drunk post their own l’s on twitter. Or not.
Maybe not even laugh at them. Just. Ignore them. They’re boring. They have like five lines and 15 words they use, and that’s about it. They’re not even entertaining lolcows at this point. They’re not even cringe. They’re just…….boring.
All this to say, if you can, just turn them off, tune them out, and make your own content if you have to.
We who have not gone insane will find each other and be there for our former friends and family when they stumble out of the mist and ask themseles “What the heck was I thinking?”
Unlike the left, we have mercy, we have grace, so no one who wants back will be rejected. No one gets permabanned for their crappy beliefs alone.
So yeah, just tune out and create. That’s my take.

William Collier- Regardless of HOW and WHY we, the US, got to this place of Russian revanchism, which was certainly goaded on by the would-be globalist hegemonic ruling class of the West, the situation now is that Russsia has become a hazard to our country and its allies. We can leave for future articles how we the freedom-loving masses ought to deal with our own corrupt ruling class who are to blame for this and focus for now on how we, as the US, might contend with the Putinistas, basically Putin and the oligarchs who support him.

We can start with the premise that Putin’s strength comes from a 60% to 70% approval among the Russian people because, basically, although it’s never quite as simple as this, he is viewed as a strong man and Russians, in the main, but not all Russians, adore the strong and despise the weak. There may be many reasons for this, but in general, when a leader is seen as strong they enjoy support, even if in character and in how they treat the Russian people, they are corrupt and evil.

This may SOMEWHAT be shifting as more and more Russians do not cotton to such thinking, but among most, among at least 60% if polling is accurate, it still holds that “strong is good and weak is bad.”

Keep this in mind.

Next, let’s consider three other factors: Russia has a basically under-developed and corrupt economic system, Russia is essentially a gas station, and the only real power Russia has is their nuclear arms.

So now we have four key things: Russians support the strong and hate the weak, Russia has an underdeveloped economy due to massive corruption, Russia’s only economic asset is gas and oil, and the only real military strength they have is nuclear arms.

The Putinistas are authoritarian and corrupt. While they cater to the Russian nationalist sentiment and some rightly see them as a counter to the West’s vision of a globalist corporate-government hegemony that is directly against nationalist sovereignty, the Putinistas are mostly for themselves first. Perhaps in Putin’s mind he and his cronies ARE the living embodiment of Russia, but the net effect is all wealth and power centers on Moscow and to hell with everyone else.

Add to all this that we, as in the US, have other fish to fry, as it were. We face threats in many quartets.

Internally we have this corporate-led assault on our history and way of life through the cancel-culture wokatariate and their rather intolerant behavior toward anyone who refuses to ditch their Judeo-Christian values for the new alt-gendered fantasy they call progress. On the other hand we have a reactionary core who, in response to this, are embracing things like identitarianism and either racial separatism or racial supremacism, and this could grow.

But externally we have threats coming from places like Iran and China, North Korea, Pakistan, Cuba, and Venezuela, among others.

Thankfully, at this time, our internal and external threats haven’t unified. The true powers, as in the actual shot-callers behind each of these threats, are as much against each other as they may be a threat to the people of the United States of America.

With all this in mind, how do we, as in the US, counter Putin and his cronies?

At the basic level we have to seek ways, in every possible arena, to make him and his cronies look weak and powerless. His chosen arena is Ukraine and while countering him there may be important, as we analyze all the arenas Russia must operate in we will find many opportunities to out Putin on his back foot.

First, there is the more obvious fact Russia depends on energy exportation. Second, there are Russian goals in Syria whose regime Putin props up. Third, there is the Russian defense industry which exports weapons all over the world. Fourth, there are Russian territories claimed by Japan and China. Fifth, there are Russian economic and investment schemes in Africa.

All these vulnerabilities present opportunities to bring pain to bear and make Putin look weak.

In Syria, for instance, and with Iran as her ally, Russia has severe disadvantages if we care to exploit them. The US can shut Iran off from all exports and imports via the sea. The US can arm anti-Assad forces in Syria while Russia cannot bring seaborn reinforcements as long as the war in Ukraine is happening. These moves would potentially force the Russians out of Syria and would demonstrate how Russia could do nothing to help their ally Iran.

As for Ukraine itself, efforts to continue to supply Ukraine with anti-air and anti-armor weapons and munitions should continue apace, albeit through many points and not via massive convoys the Russians can bomb. The erosion of Russian military might in Ukraine plays into a narrative that Putin is weak.

Now let’s consider all the places where Russia is vulnerable internally and use our covert means to foment trouble on every periphery. Russia has a substantial and growing, and disaffected, Muslim minority, some of whom may feel strongly that Russia is their foe. Russia has cordial relations with the Central Asian countries, this is something we ought to be undermining.

We can support the opposition in Belarus and Khazajstan, for instance, and foment unrest at a time when Russia cannot spare forces to put them down.

Instead of thinking holistically about a global response on Russia’s periphery, the present US administration, whose policies in line with past Presidents have goaded the Russians into attacking Ukraine, are thinking in a very limited and one-dimensional way. They are actually perpetuating the mythos of Putin as a strong man who they are powerless to stop because it might “escalate” things. Having goaded the Russians we are now saying we don’t want to escalate things further with them lest they unleash nuclear holocaust.

It would have been better to counsel the Ukrainians to pursue strong neutrality, to cool their ambitions to join the EU and NATO, and to actually invest in a credible air defense, which they neglected up until now. As for whether or not the US actually operates or funds biolabs and whether or not they are former Soviet labs or present-day bioweapons programs, the activities of the US, under Fauci’s management, in these things remains suspect.

But, be that as it may, the mythos of Russia as being 10 feet tall and Putin being beyond our reach stems from the fact we are playing in his sandbox and on his terms instead of taking a holistic approach. Goading the Russians into a war that is spiraling out of control was bad policy, but now that we have, the question is, “should we retreat and let Putin be the strong man or should we take the battle into arenas where he is helpless?”

Undermining Putin’s standing as a strong man is the easiest way to depict him as weak and undermine his support among his people but, most importantly, his fellow oligarchs.

The fact the US is not taking a holistic view of limiting Putin’s power and is not encouraging peace in Ukraine based on neutrality may prove that the people pulling the levers of power in Washington today aren’t really doing so in the interest of the American people.
