Dr. Fauci’s Disturbing CIA Connection Revealed
If you didn’t already have enough reasons to distrust Dr. Anthony Fauci, here’s a new one, and it’s a doozy.
Newly disclosed documents reveal that Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) had a formal institutional partnership with the CIA, one that provided cover for the agency’s biological-threat research. This goes well beyond the previously known off-the-books meetings tied to the Wuhan lab origins controversy. Fauci’s ties to American intelligence run far deeper than anyone outside a handful of investigators realized….
Anthony Fauci – Wikipedia
Anthony Stephen Fauci (born December 24, 1940) is an American physician-scientist and immunologist who served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) from 1984 to 2022 and as Chief Medical Advisor to the President from 2021 to 2022. He was one of the world’s most frequently cited scientists across all scientific journals from 1983 to 2002.
In 1984 Ronald Reagan was re-elected and his VP was George H. W. Bush of the CIA.
Since the FDA, USDA, EPA and other bureaucracies use ‘The Science ™‘ to validate their regulations I wanted to look at the history of the destruction of science over the last century.
1964 — The Problem-Solving Method They Removed From Every Textbook
In 1964, Richard Feynman was the only person on California’s textbook commission who actually read the textbooks. What he found should have ended careers — publishers sending blank books that still received ratings, first-grade science texts teaching children nothing but empty vocabulary, and an entire system designed to reward memorization over real understanding.This video breaks down Feynman’s forgotten problem-solving framework — the same approach he used to win the Nobel Prize, expose broken education systems from California to Brazil, and coin the term “Cargo Cult Science” in his legendary 1974 Caltech commencement speech.You’ll learn his 12 favorite problems technique (explained by mathematician Gian-Carlo Rota), why estimating before calculating is the single most underrated thinking skill, and how to tell the difference between someone who memorized the answer and someone who actually understands the problem — a distinction that matters more now than ever, because AI can memorize everything, but it can’t think from scratch.If you’ve ever felt out of step with the system — at school, at work, in a meeting where nobody could answer the question that wasn’t on the slides — this video explains why. And it gives you a method to fix it tonight.🔹 Drop your own “label instead of an explanation” moment in the comments.——————————————————📖

The reason you always felt out of step with the system is because the system was designed to produce the opposite of you. It produces people who follow the process perfectly right up until reality changes and then they freeze. You’ve seen it in hiring. The candidate with the perfect resume who can’t answer a simple what-if question in the interview. You’ve seen it in leadership. The director who can quote the strategy deck word for word but goes blank when a client throws a curveball.
The system trained them to memorize the runway, not to fly the plane.
Feynman left behind the method the system tried to bury.
— 12 problems always alive.
— Strip every claim down to what you can check.
— Estimate before you calculate.
— Test your understanding by rephrasing the question.
— If you can’t answer it in different words, you never understood it in the first place.
That’s it. That’s what they removed. And now you have it back.
But Feynman’s war on the textbooks exposed something bigger than bad education. He found the same pattern in science, in hiring, in way entire industries collapse when nobody inside them can think from scratch. And when he called it out by name, in front of the most powerful people in the room, they didn’t thank him. [Managed decline anyone? -GC]

ROBERT MAXWELL
Which specific U.S. school textbook companies were owned by Robert Maxwell or his companies?
The Deal That Reshaped the Market: Maxwell Buys Macmillan and Joins McGraw‑Hill
Robert Maxwell purchased Macmillan Inc. in the late 1980s, a transaction that positioned him as owner of one of the United States’ largest textbook publishers at the time; reporting from the period documents the acquisition and the creation of a joint venture combining Macmillan’s school publishing units with McGraw‑Hill’s to form Macmillan/McGraw‑Hill School Publishing Co. in 1989, a company that became the second‑largest U.S. textbook publisher [1] [2]. The joint venture pooled Macmillan imprints like Glencoe and units such as Science Research Associates (SRA) into a single school publishing operation, reflecting Maxwell’s strategy of consolidating academic and educational assets under his Maxwell Communication Corporation umbrella, and contemporary sources note that McGraw‑Hill assumed sole ownership of the joint operation by 1993 after Maxwell’s death, indicating the Maxwell family no longer retained operational control

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT
ERIC: … Maxwell figured out how to DESTROY SCIENCE and MAKE A FORTUNE. So he diluted the quality of the editorship of the leading journals. This was a high quality informal enterprise. Now most of the destruction of science in terms of how high quality it used to be, has taken place relatively recently. POST ROBERT MAXWELL. Because we now have an enormous number of journals staffed by people who can’t spot publication cartels, where we agree to cite each others work and we agree to publish stuff, you know Pay for Play.

Pergamon Press – Wikipedia
Pergamon Press was an Oxford-based publishing house, founded by Paul Rosbaud and Robert Maxwell, that published scientific and medical books and journals. Originally called Butterworth-Springer, it is now an imprint of Elsevier.
History
The core company, Butterworth-Springer, started in 1948 to bring the “Springer know-how and techniques of aggressive publishing in science”[1] to Britain. Paul Rosbaud was the man with the knowledge. When Maxwell acquired the company in 1951, Rosbaud held a one-quarter share.[1] They changed the house name to Pergamon Press, using a logo that was a reproduction of a Greek coin from Pergamon. Maxwell and Rosbaud worked together growing the company until May 1956, when, according to Joe Haines, Rosbaud was sacked….
This illustrates the larg problem we now have.

Proving that unpaid anonymous review is worth every cent, the 217 year old Wiley science publisher “peer reviewed” 11,300 papers that were fake, and didn’t even notice. It’s not just a scam, it’s an industry. Naked “gobbledygook sandwiches” got past peer review, and the expert reviewers didn’t so much as blink.
Big Government and Big Money has captured science and strangled it. The more money they pour in, the worse it gets. John Wiley and Sons is a US $2 billion dollar machine, but they got used by criminal gangs to launder fake “science” as something real.
Things are so bad, fake scientists pay professional cheating services who use AI to create papers and torture the words so they look “original”. Thus a paper on ‘breast cancer’ becomes a discovery about “bosom peril” and a ‘naïve Bayes’ classifier became a ‘gullible Bayes’. An ant colony was labeled an ‘underground creepy crawly state’.
And what do we make of the flag to clamor ratio? Well, old fashioned scientists might call it ‘signal to noise’. The nonsense never ends….

August 30, 2005 — Why Most Published Research Findings Are False
Source: BMJ-British Medical Journal
US scientists are significantly more likely to publish fake research than scientists from elsewhere, finds a trawl of officially withdrawn (retracted) studies. Fraudsters are also more likely to be “repeat offenders,” the study shows.
Summary
There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false.The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field. In this framework, a research finding is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in a field are smaller; when effect sizes are smaller; when there is a greater number and lesser preselection of tested relationships; where there is greater flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and analytical modes; when there is greater financial and other interest and prejudice; and when more teams are involved in a scientific field in chase of statistical significance. Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true. Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias…..
May 29, 2009 — How Many Scientists Fabricate and Falsify Research? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Survey Data
ABSTRACT
….A pooled weighted average of 1.97% (N = 7, 95%CI: 0.86–4.45) of scientists admitted to have fabricated, falsified or modified dataor results at least once –a serious form of misconduct by any standard– and up to 33.7% admitted other questionable research practices. In surveys asking about the behaviour of colleagues, admission rates were 14.12%< (N = 12, 95% CI: 9.91–19.72) for falsification, and up to 72% for other questionable research practices. Meta-regression showed that self reports surveys, surveys using the words “falsification” or “fabrication”, and mailed surveys yielded lower percentages of misconduct. When these factors were controlled for, misconduct was reported more frequently by medical/pharmacological researchers than others.
Considering that these surveys ask sensitive questions and have other limitations, it appears likely that this is a conservative estimate of the true prevalence of scientific misconduct.
March 20, 2012 — Former NEJM editors on the corruption of American medicine (NY Times) from https://participatorymedicine.org/
As we said in December, an e-patient essential is sorting out what writings to trust, whether we find them online or in print. There’s an important update on this in the New York Times today, an interview with Marcia Angell MD, an author we’ve quoted before, and her husband Dr. Arnold Relman – both long-time editors of one of the world’s top journals, the New England Journal of Medicine. It contains some eye-poppers.
In 2009, as I was just starting to get educated about healthcare, I posted A Quote I Won’t Soon Forget, which began:
Marcia Angell MD is a well-known, respected physician, long-time editor of NEJM. So it was a bit of a shock today when Amy Romano, blogger for Lamaze International, sent me this quote:
It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.
It was from Dr. Angell’s review Drug Companies & Doctors: A Story of Corruption. It continued:
Dana Blankenhorn of the ZDNet health blog called it “a bombshell.” I couldn’t agree more. And I must say, with all the smart people in this community, why on earth haven’t we heard more about this??
And how on earth are we supposed to be empowered participatory patients if we can’t trust the world’s leading journal?
It echoed Richard Smith, 25 year editor of another top-tier journal (the British Medical Journal), in the first issue of our Journal of Participatory Medicine:
…most of what appears in peer-reviewed journals is scientifically weak.
This is no small issue in the life of an engaged patient. e-Patients who bring googled articles to their office visits are often lambasted or subjected to eye-rolls by clinicians who say that we should only trust academic medical journals. But can we trust them??
We got a rude update on why published science is shaky in our January 2011 post The Decline Effect: most published studies are never replicated by another lab! That’s absurd – heck, in high school I couldn’t get a science experiment passed if it wasn’t reproducible, but our journals do that??….
April 2015 — JAMA Intern Med Research Misconduct Identified by the US Food and Drug Administration: Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Every year, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspects several hundred clinical sites performing biomedical research on human participants and occasionally finds evidence of substantial departures from good clinical practice and research misconduct. However, the FDA has no systematic method of communicating these findings to the scientific community, leaving open the possibility that research misconduct detected by a government agency goes unremarked in the peer-reviewed literature….
Objectives
To identify published clinical trials in which an FDA inspection found significant evidence of objectionable conditions or practices, to describe violations, and to determine whether the violations are mentioned in the peer-reviewed literature.
Design and Setting
Cross-sectional analysis of publicly available documents, dated from January 1, 1998, to September 30, 2013, describing FDA inspections of clinical trial sites in which significant evidence of objectionable conditions or practices was found.
Results: Fifty-seven published clinical trials were identified for which an FDA inspection of a trial site had found significant evidence of 1 or more of the following problems:
falsification or submission of false information, 22 trials (39%);
problems with adverse events reporting, 14 trials (25%);
protocol violations, 42 trials (74%);
inadequate or inaccurate recordkeeping, 35 trials (61%);
failure to protect the safety of patients and/or issues with oversight or informed consent, 30 trials (53%);
and violations not otherwise categorized, 20 trials (35%).
Only 3 of the 78 publications (4%) that resulted from trials in which the FDA found significant violations mentioned the objectionable conditions or practices found during the inspection. No corrections, retractions, expressions of concern, or other comments acknowledging the key issues identified by the inspection were subsequently published.
Conclusions and Relevance
When the FDA finds significant departures from good clinical practice, those findings are seldom reflected in the peer-reviewed literature, even when there is evidence of data fabrication or other forms of research misconduct.
A decade ago, I wrote in another blog “Blogs are now performing the important tasks of scrutinizing papers and conclusions often finding gross mistakes.” That is probably one of the reasons we were shut up during Covid.
June 1, 2015 — Editors In Chief of World’s Most Prestigious Medical Journals: “Much of the Scientific Literature, Perhaps HALF, May Simply Be Untrue”
… “It Is Simply No Longer Possible To Believe Much of the Clinical Research That Is Published”
Posted on June 1, 2015 by WashingtonsBlog
Corruption Is Destroying Basic Science
“Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine are the two most prestigious medical journals in the world.
It is therefore striking that their chief editors have both publicly written that corruption is undermining science.
The editor in chief of Lancet, Richard Horton, wrote:
*http://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140-6736(15)60696-1.pdf
Much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness. As one participant put it, “poor methods get results”. The Academy of Medical Sciences, Medical Research Council, and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council have now put their reputational weight behind an investigation into these questionable research practices. The apparent endemicity [i.e. pervasiveness within the scientific culture] of bad research behaviour is alarming. In their quest for telling a compelling story, scientists too often sculpt data to fit their preferred theory of the world. Or they retrofit hypotheses to fit their data. Journal editors deserve their fair share of criticism too. We aid and abet the worst behaviours. Our acquiescence to the impact factor fuels an unhealthy competition to win a place in a select few journals. Our love of “significance” pollutes the literature with many a statistical fairy-tale….
Similarly, the editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Marcia Angell, wrote in 2009:
“We can no longer trust Drug company clinical trials”
(Original Article I quote below has vanished… imagine that!)
….It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine….
In fact, in October 2017, Angell went further – she published an article in the New York Review of books entitled, ‘Drug Companies and Doctors: A Story of Corruption.’

I thought I was having a bad day of home maintenance, but not that bad, now that I think about it!
Speaking of that, I had a blunder the other day.
Changing the oil in the truck the other day. I rolled under the car and invertently removed the drain plug on the transmission. 😳
Had to take the wife’s car to get what I needed to finish the job.
I’ve been wanting to change the transmission fluid but not that day.
At least you noticed.
Once in my youth I forgot to put the drain plug back.
I noticed when I had no oil on the dipstick [that’s the last check before starting the engine].
Joyfully, there were no witnesses.
What is “transmission fluid”?

Thank you for this treasure trove of information, Gail. I’m looking forward to delving into the Feynman materials. The info about science and the scientific journals further erodes confidence in the medical profession. 🙁
Yup, I got three articles in the queue.
I’m going to love seeing them, but also be concerned that you are not adequately taking care of yourself. Please also keep us apprised as to your family’s healing…..because that’s what’s really important.
My bad. PP communications, again…
The three articles are Gail’s that I have in the, “read queue”.
For Simply Saturday to have an original article, well, hell may freeze over first.
Health wise, my guesstimate is we are doing OK. I can certainly relate to numerous posts QTree over the years. Appreciate your concern, interest.
Did someone say Hell freezing over?

AAG Harmeet Dhillon:
Complacent or complicit?
If a company is knowingly, provably, going around civil rights laws, why isn’t that company SHUT DOWN until they prove compliance and pay whatever ludicrous penalty fees are levied?
Why aren’t the CEO and the entire board of directors criminally prosecuted?
If the government wants to stop this conduct, the government knows full well how to accomplish it.
There is nothing government does better than use a heavy hand to squash people.
Warren Buffett’s partner, Charlie Munger said “Show me the incentive and I’ll show you the outcome.”
And: “Never, ever, think about something else when you should be thinking about the power of incentives.”
Eliminate the incentives, or make the penalty so severe that people are incentivized to avoid the penalty.
Time to put the CEO & board of directors in jail MANDATORY 10 years.
Then watch how fast it stops.
A monetary penalty the company pays is just seen as the cost of doing business.
EXACTLY! and they’ll just raise prices to cover the cost.
YUP!
Maybe because in our system of government, that is not a possibility?
Me: If a company is knowingly, provably, going around civil rights laws, why isn’t that company SHUT DOWN…
Brave Ai: Companies are not routinely shut down for violating civil rights laws because federal enforcement typically relies on monetary fines, corrective actions, and cease and desist orders rather than business closure.
Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the EEOC can issue cease and desist orders requiring businesses to stop discriminatory practices and take immediate corrective steps, but it generally lacks the authority to permanently revoke a business’s license to operate.
Instead, penalties usually involve monetary fines and awards of attorney’s fees to successful litigants, as seen in cases where corporations face significant legal costs but continue operations.
However, local jurisdictions may impose shutdowns in specific circumstances.
For example, Philadelphia amended its ordinance to grant the Commission on Human Relations the authority to order a business to shut down for a specified period if it engages in severe or repeated violations of anti-discrimination laws without effective remediation.
Outside of such local ordinances, business closures for civil rights violations are rare and typically associated with health and safety violations (e.g., OSHA) rather than discrimination.
.
.
Me: Can they revoke any licenses necessary to practice business?
Brave Ai: No — the EEOC cannot revoke business licenses. It simply doesn’t have that power.
Its statutory remedies under Title VII are limited to:
• Cease and desist orders (stop the discriminatory practice)
• Back pay and compensatory/punitive damages
• Attorney’s fees for successful plaintiffs
The EEOC must pursue enforcement through federal court and cannot directly shut down a business or touch its licenses.
Who can revoke a business license? Local and state licensing authorities (city councils, state professional boards, etc.).
Some states do explicitly list civil rights violations as grounds for license revocation — for example, Arizona’s real estate licensing law (A.R.S. § 32-2153) allows suspension or revocation for violating federal fair housing law or state civil rights law. But this varies widely by state, by license type, and is rarely invoked.
The structural gap: The EEOC doesn’t issue licenses, so it can’t revoke them. Even when a civil rights violation is proven, the EEOC would need the relevant licensing body to independently act on that finding. There’s no automatic mechanism connecting a civil rights finding to license revocation in most jurisdictions. This is why monetary penalties and corrective orders remain the primary enforcement tools — they’re what Congress actually gave the EEOC.
.
.
Me: So how is it that a self-employed person is constantly under threat of being shut down if they step ONE FOOT outside of any guideline, ordinance, customary trade practice, or look at someone the wrong way?
Brave Ai: You’re pointing at a real structural asymmetry, though the framing is a bit broader than what’s actually happening. Let me separate the threads:
Where shutdowns actually come from: Local governments — health departments, fire marshals, code enforcement — issue the permits and licenses, so they hold direct, immediate enforcement power. A fire marshal can order closure on the spot for a locked exit. A health inspector can suspend a food license for a priority violation. Code enforcement can revoke a business license for zoning or building code violations.
This is fast, local, and personal — one inspector, one visit, one order.
Why it hits self-employed people harder: The compliance burden is disproportionately higher for small operators.
Per-employee regulatory compliance costs are roughly 3.4× higher for small firms than large ones (NAM, 2023).
A Fortune 500 company has a team of compliance officers and attorneys. A self-employed person is the compliance officer, the lawyer, and the fix-it crew. One violation that a large company’s legal team absorbs as a line-item expense can be an existential threat to a solo operator.
The asymmetry you’re identifying is real but specific:
• Local enforcement (health, fire, zoning, building codes) = direct, immediate, shutdown-capable. The entity that issued your permit can take it back.
• Federal civil rights enforcement (EEOC, DOJ) = indirect, court-based, monetary. The entity that found the violation can’t touch your license.
So the small operator faces a concentrated, local, physical enforcement threat (one inspector with authority to close your doors today), while the large corporation faces a diffuse, federal, financial enforcement threat (a lawsuit that results in a check and a cease-and-desist order). The small operator’s entire livelihood is the thing at risk. The large corporation’s is a line item.
What’s not happening: People aren’t getting shut down for “looking at someone the wrong way” or a vague “customary trade practice.” The shutdowns are for specific, codified violations — fire hazards, food safety, zoning, occupancy limits. The frustration is less about the trigger and more about the disproportionate impact of the same rule on a solo operator versus a corporation with a legal department.
The core structural issue: the entity with the most direct power over your ability to operate (your local government) is also the one most likely to use that power quickly and personally, while the entity with the most power over civil rights (federal) is the least able to act decisively against a large violator. That’s the gap.
Woo!
About time!
I love it! Send RANDOM NUISANCE to the WOODPILE.
And the woodshed!
LOL!!!
If anyone can, he could do it!
Absolutely brilliant.
Ground Report: Since news about truckers, illegal CDL drivers & horrific accidents have been so prevalent this year, I was curious what we’d see on our recent road trip – the annual trek on I-80 across NE, IA & IL from CO to MI.
I think traffic in general was less than what we’re usually used to (typically Aug is heavy traffic).
First, once we left Colorado, we didn’t see one single car with a CO license plate until we were on the return drive and then only one car about 10 miles from CO border. That astonished us – normally lots of CO cars & RVs until we’re well across NE (Lake McConaughey in NE is a popular spot for Coloradans).
Second, the volume of semi-truck traffic was less than prior years, and the number of double-cargo carriers was significantly decreased. I purposely watched the weigh stations because Sec. Duffy had announced those would be open & drivers who couldn’t speak English, etc. would be detained. Most years no weigh stations have been open; this year some were open but some were ‘optional stops’ rather than mandatory. I was a bit disappointed about that!
The biggest change we’ve seen over the past decade is a huge decrease in the name-brand trucking companies – the orange Schneider semis (we saw only two) and other longtime names like Old Dominion. Instead most cargo bins were white and had zero company logo; the cabs had names but many appeared to be contract drivers.
Other than the unbranded white semis, the semis we saw most often were Amazon and an unrelated company ironically named Prime, Inc. Amazon has a lot of trucks on that interstate!
Halfway through IL, we dipped south then east across the IN border far enough east before heading north again that we bypassed the horribly claustrophobic stretch through Chicago, so I can’t comment on that section truckwise. The rural farmland in IL & IN was GORGEOUS and we enjoyed that ‘back roads’ escape very much.
We saw no accidents, and only encountered a couple asshole truck drivers. For the most part, this year’s drive was a breeze compared to some prior ones. Roads were in excellent condition (except Colorado’s 🤬) and so much road construction had been done in last 5 years that we encountered relatively few projects this year.
Coming back, we saw one burned out cab in the side of the highway; obviously a horrific fire (the cargo carrier had already been towed away). I later read that an illegal truck driver had parked on side of I-80 and when he pulled back onto highway he did not account for speed of aporoaching traffic and another semi plowed into him. The driver of that second truck was killed. There was a photo of a burning truck. I wondered if that was the one we saw.
Saw one other semi crunched on its side off the highway. It was just past a construction zone that narrowed the lanes in a curvy section of road. I bet he was going too fast and either weight shifted in the curve or he just lost control.
Still, not as many “yikes” aftermaths as we’ve seen on other trips.
Until next year … 😁
Thanks for that report! Very helpful. IMO, the fight is on, and we’re winning!
Hope you’re doing well, too!
Agree. Interstates are safer this year, as compared to previous years. The Maggot years specifically.
IIRC, Duffy or one of his team have identified scoundrel small trucking companies commonly change their company name. Doing so hides their terrible safety records. Harder to tabulate the collective hazard they are to public highways.
Great ground report, Alison!
Will be doing likewise in our region in October. Although we are seeing similar type conditions locally. Since we are at the crossroads of I-40, I-75 and I-81, it is pretty good indicator for much of the rest of flyover country.
I forgot to say I LOVE OUR HEARTLAND ! 🩷🩷🇺🇸🇺🇸✝️
The question then becomes WHAT were those missing semis hauling?
That’s what I wonder. If we are doing without large numbers of long-haul trucks, is that affecting the delivery of goods and their availability? I haven’t seen any reports about that.
I am not seeing empty shelves in stores so that makes me wonder how much of the shipping was stolen goods, drugs & people.
What I will add is even though truck traffic seemed less to me:
There were substantially fewer road construction zones in all 3 states than we’ve ever encountered. Those zones in prior years were generally miles long & reducing highway to 2-lane head-on traffic, which substantially bunches up & congests traffic for miles. When encountered just prior to a hill (Iowa), semis are so close to each other the natural ‘draft’ mandates they pull out to pass even though they can’t maintain speed up the hill, so both lanes are blocked by two semis until reaching downhill. Every other car & truck is stuck & slowed down behind them. Then it’s a race to pass several before the next hill, and Iowa is a roller coaster of hills!
The lack of so many construction zones means traffic isn’t continuously bunched so with flow much smoother, we don’t feel like we’re in heavy traffuc as often. Impossible to use cruise control in prior years but a breeze most of the way this year.
Also, despite feeling like there were fewer trucks on the road, the rest areas & truck parking facilities & truck stops were full as ever. I don’t know how to reconcile that observation, except that drive-to-rest regulations have tightened significantly plus the ability to monitor compliance electronically. Perhaps some truckers have adjusted their drive times to split shifts, more night driving, or more Sat & Sun driving so the rest areas are still fully utilized to accomodate those changes. We drove midweek, middays.
I thought of that too Gail cuz there’s certainly no shortage of goods!!
Two thoughts:
Maybe … I hope, I hope … we are making a dent in the drug & human trafficking. I80 was a HUGE corridor for that.
Secondly I wasn’t surprised at the number of Amazon trucks, but I was surprised at their high ratio of trucks to total trucks. I’d estimate 35% of the trucks we saw were Amazon. On last year’s road trip, there were not enough that I even noticed them as ‘significant’.
Online shopping proliferated during covid lockdowns and, speaking for introvert folks like me who have always abhorred big store & mall shopping, I use Amazon almost exclusively for everything except groceries.
Not to mention Mom &Pop shops & restaurants are gone in CO because the decades of Leftist rule have driven them out through increasing regulation, taxes & – last straw – COVID lockdowns.
I can find what I need at Amazon; I can read reviews from buyers of new-to-me products and books/authors and I don’t need to hassle with traffic or … people 😅 … to receive the item by week’s end. I don’t purposely ‘buy from China’ but that’s what chain store products are too, so what’s the diff?
I bet there are many who do the same. No, I don’t “love” Amazon, but I don’t worry about ever-increasing local traffic congestion or a mentally deranged killer in the mall as I shop online!
Cool report, thanks!
I noticed similar things here in Montana on our road trip this summer. Way fewer semis and double-loads than ever before.
Great Report! I’m surprised you didn’t have construction issues in MI, but I guess that depends where you’re going in the state. Metro Detroit is constantly strangled with construction & we’ve battled a lot of it along I-75 heading North for years 🙁
Oh we did!! I-94 near MI City/Benton Harbor in a torrential downpour 😂 Infinite road construction there Every Single Year with no discernable improvement or completiin!!
You couldn’t pay me to be anywhere near Detroit in or out of a car. If our Ann Arbor/Detroit relatives want to join us, we cordially invite them to drive to western MI. We hang out on the beautiful white sand beaches of Lake Michigan in a pristine small town about halfway up the lower peninsula. It is truly Heaven on Earth. Sort if how you feel about your special cabin 🩷
Do you go to the same place or community along Lake Michigan? We were in Saugatauk & Holland for my son’s wedding festivities & staying in a very nice Air B&B in a nearby community, called Fennville, iirc. We missed a chance to get to the beautiful Lake, much to my disappointment. We’ve hit Sturgeon Bay, on the SW portion of Wilderness State Park near the Tip of the Mitt multiple times over the years. It’s beautiful & usually fairly unpeopled, which is a treat ❤
These are the impressions of a reporter who has been in the courtroom at the Clancy trial, 1:10 long. It appears to be from Sept. 1, so Tuesday.

In other words,
Make
Asylums (mental)
Great
Again
I don’t know how doable it is these days to sentence someone to a “mental health facility.” There must be a better solution than simply turning people loose who have done crazy criminal things.
YUP. Agreed. Make this gal the poster child for asylums.
she was unhappy, troubled, nutso–however you wanna say it. but her solution was to kill other people and not herself. She seems to believe other people are responsible for her not being happy. that’s not going to change without some serious work/counseling. so she’s a threat to other people. She should be incarcerated for life, if they do not have the death penalty.
Very well stated. Kudos.
This is not a defense of her, but she did try to kill herself.
https://abc7ny.com/post/lindsay-clancy-trial-jurors-return-third-day-deliberations-determine-verdict/19769512/
Mental health issues:
No excuse. If someone is mentally ill and kills adult members of their family, they are either convicted, or acquitted due to insanity (or whatever the appropriate equivalent is).
She did the deed, and she is guilty.
she cut herself. obviously not deep enough and people can survive a jump or fall from a second story window.
not buying it. IF she wanted to kill herself she would have. she wanted to kill the children and they are dead. She made sure.
Again, not a defense of her.
I imagine it’s hard to cut oneself deep enough or with enough cuts to bleed out. I also doubt that she staged a cutting and a window-jumping, not knowing what the outcome could be. I think she thought that, having failed in the cutting, jumping out the window would kill her.
IMO, like so many murderers I’ve read about, she was in a murderous state of mind and wanted to kill herself, but failed, after having killed others. That in no way excuses what she did. It does not mean that she was suddenly horrified about it and decided she didn’t want to live anymore. It doesn’t award her any points for humanity. It doesn’t mean we should feel sorry for her.
From what I’ve seen—and I have no psychiatric expertise—it is common for suicide to be the final outcome after murdering others.
I don’t see any benefit to her for faking a suicide attempt. The attempt might be part of her defense, but I haven’t seen it emphasized.
Self-harm by a mother was happening with the case I read about yesterday of a child found dead in a basement.
sorry…she gets no quarter from me. Se knew enough to make sure the kids were dead. she knew enough to get her husband out of the house. she could have taken an overdose to ensure her death. “She cut herself” is not slit her wrists. She didn’t intend to die. She was thorough in completing half of her plan and inept at the second part? nope. not buying any of it.
she gets NO EMPATHY from me.
My grandmother suffered from post partum depression. She decided to kill herself–not the children–herself. She jumped off a bridge.
Bless her heart, sorry to hear that 😢
Thank you Happy.
And she gets no quarter or empathy from me. I only said it five times. 😂
I’m sorry about your grandmother. What a sad situation for your family.
i can only imagine her situation. She bore my grandfather 3 children and there was apparently speculation she was pregnant again and she couldn’t deal with it. the kids were 5,3, and 1. My grandfather remarried and had 12 more children with my stepgrandmother. Again…I can’t imagine.
I know you said that. I didn’t mean to imply you didn’t. This is just unthinkable to me and i can’t imagine making another person suffer because I’m depressed.
Quite a prolific guy, he was.
Gives ‘spreading his seed’ a whole new meaning.
I knew a guy that had 52 kids out of wedlock. ALL the moms paid him because they were afraid of him.
And he was the ugliest thing too!
you should have seen the family reunions!
Oh Pat I’m so sorry about your Grandmother 😪
I appreciate that Valerie, but my mother barely knew her and hardly remembered her at all when she finally told me the story.
Your mom was raised by her stepmother who was more of a mother than her bio-mom, I would guess. It’s still a sorrowful tale. My hubby looked on his step-dad as more of a dad than his actual father, separated by divorce & his mom removing him from Denver to Colorado so that he only saw his dad 2X before he died when Hubby was a teen. His step dad came into the picture around the same time that his dad had died & he lead Hubby & his mom to the Lord, PTL!
she actually treated the 3 older children as babysitters until they were old enough (16) to get jobs. then she stayed home and the three had to turn over their paychecks (except for $3 which they were ALLOWED to keep).
It was a difficult situation.
Yikes. Kind of a hers & mine scenario. That’s too bad. Your mom grew up highly educated in the school of hard knocks–but then she made YOU!!! ❤
she did…in a family of 15 kids? oh yeah. I had an uncle born in the same month and year as me. He passed away this year–a few months before Mom. I have 2 aunts and 2 uncles younger than me.
I’m getting that “I am My Own Grandpa” vibe here LOL
my Mom was more fond of her Aunt Mamie who was dear to those 3 until Grandpop got married.
Was that her mom’s sister or her dad’s?
her dad
OK. I was Imagining that it was her mom’s sister who was sort of a stand in or substitute mom. Rough road 🙁
PUSSY-HAT FREAKS!!!
sometimes my gender is soooo embarrassing.
Boy, ain’t that the TRUTH!
One of the reasons I generally hung out with the guys. I rather talk hunting and cars than the latest gossip and ‘She is too old for that hair style’ (Said of a very pretty secretary by the uglies.)
my two best friends in high school were both guys.
in college one male, one female.
It’s the one party where it’s best to be a wallflower.
Jellene found a very smart take on this stuff.
Here it is, read aloud in a video.
Here was the original written post.
perhaps it will be an age requirement. no women in these jobs until their hormones level out? LOL
BUT gay men are equally “hormonal” at times.
All fetishes, including queerness, are fueled by hormones.
100%
I may be about to pay for the absolute stupidity of women pursuing “equal rights with no accountability,” but I’m prepared to prove my worth as a human being in the arena of the real world.
Let’s go.
This should also affect trans issues, if hormones can cause such destruction.

“I FEEL”
And while we’re rewriting the law, I have another rule.
The first time anybody in a position of authority begins a sentence with “I feel,” they should be immediately removed from office.
That’s it. Hand over your badge, your gavel, your office keys and your little nameplate.
“I feel” is not evidence. It’s weather inside your head.
You feel cold? Get a sweater.
You feel hungry? Get a sandwich.
You feel unheard? Start a podcast. Apparently, that’s what everybody else did.
But if you’re making decisions that affect other people’s children, freedom, money or lives, I don’t care how you feel.
I want to know what you know.
A judge says, “I feel the defendant deserves another chance.”
Bailiff, take the gavel. Court is adjourned. This has turned into group therapy.
A politician says, “I feel this new law will help society.”
How?
“I don’t know. I just feel it.”
Wonderful. We’re now governing the country with the same system women use to decide whether their boyfriend is cheating.
“I don’t have any evidence. I just feel like something is different.”
A police chief says, “I feel this policy will make the community safer.”
We gave you a badge, not a vision board.
A president says, “I feel we need to launch the missiles.”
Take away the nuclear football and give them a mood ring.
If your job title contains President, Governor, Judge, Chief, Commander, Director of anything, or HR you don’t get to make decisions based on feelings. You need facts, evidence, experience and judgment.
And this connects right back to the Lindsay Clancy case.
Because if “I feel” and “my emotions overwhelmed me” can excuse the worst decision a human being can possibly make, then feelings cannot also qualify you to make decisions for everybody else.
You cannot say emotions are powerful enough to remove responsibility—but never powerful enough to affect judgment.
Pick one.
We used to look for leaders with sound judgment.
Now we look for somebody with emotional truth, lived experience and really strong feelings.
That’s not a government.
That’s a Facebook moms’ group with nuclear weapons.

Very good article!
“You do not have to accept every Roman claim to notice that the West reopened doors it used to keep shut and then blamed the draft on mental health.”
Amen.
Excellent essay.
I can summarize it this way…
There are three levels of evil.
Anti-Law
Anti-Christ
Anti-God
ISIS managed to commit crimes on all three levels daily.
I find it interesting and horrifying that the left basically denies all three!
I know it’s not funny but I burst out laughing at that one.
I did too.

That looks a lot like a men’s urinal on the right side of the header photo…
I’m trying to remember if I ever saw such things in old labs and/or real pictures of them, or if it’s actually some kind of an AI “extrapolation error”. I do recall a variety of weird old ceramic objects in labs, so ceramic fixtures like that seem logical.
If that’s not a urinal… then that’s exactly where they got the idea for a men’s urinal… in fact, that could very well be the prototype.

I think they are handwashing stations. There are two; if you look in the center of the picture where the man is leaning, there’s another one.
Yes, IMO they’re both hand-washing and eye-washing stations – and likely tripling as disposal sinks as well.
The faucets look suitable for attaching condensers as well!
It is an eye washing station.
Here is the modern version
OK, this makes sense! The ones we had were in between – they were ceramic and looked like water fountains, and “wall mounted” like both. We had the emergency showers right next to them.
We had the same set-up in an older factory where I worked. However I could not find a photo of one.
Sundance likens what Trump is doing with Canada, as rescuing a drowning person, which can be difficult.

SD, if I may opine, as a former Navy Search and Rescue Crewman, you never get in a fight with a hysterical pilot/ sailor/fill-in-the-blank in the water. Stealth to gain control is first. Then, if that doesn’t work, drown them, rescue them, bring them back to life in the helicopter. Brutal…yes. But, sometimes the hard decisions are the appropriate decisions. Just my two cents from atop my soapbox.

“Then, if that doesn’t work, drown them, rescue them, bring them back to life in the helicopter.”
_____________
No way… not today, can’t be. Maybe that was 1970s rescue doctrine, Dirty Harry style.
But they could never get away with that in the weak, fake & gay 2000s 😁
Can you imagine the lawsuit, if some search & rescue team purposely drowns Granny, or Jenny from the block, or Rafalib-tanjani Mosapa Abdul Morabadi, the non-white angry lesbian female islamic invader — and then they’re unable to resuscitate her?
The lawsuit money would flow like Nepalese flood water.
Checking…

………………………………..
Me: Do water search and rescue teams drown a hysterical victim if necessary, and resuscitate them after getting them safely aboard a helicopter?
Brave Ai: No, water search and rescue teams do not intentionally drown victims. The primary goal of any rescue operation is to remove the victim from the water as quickly and safely as possible to prevent submersion and hypoxia, not to induce drowning.
While in-water resuscitation (such as rescue breaths) can be performed by highly trained teams using specialized equipment if conditions are safe, chest compressions are generally ineffective in water due to buoyancy issues.
Rescuers prioritize getting the victim to a stable surface—such as dry land or a rescue boat—before initiating full CPR.
Helicopter rescue swimmers can perform CPR in flight using specialized platforms and equipment, but this is done to sustain life during transport, not after intentionally submerging the victim.
The standard protocol emphasizes immediate removal from the water to clear the airway and begin resuscitation, as delays in rescue significantly reduce survival chances.
Rescuers are trained to manage hysterical or panicked victims using proper techniques and flotation devices to secure them without causing further injury or submersion.
.
Me: Even if the victim is hysterical and fighting the rescuers, they are not trained to drown and later resuscitate?
Brave Ai: No — that is a persistent myth. No current rescue organization trains rescuers to intentionally submerge a victim to the point of drowning.
Where the myth comes from:
In the early 1900s, some lifeguard manuals did instruct rescuers to strike a panicking victim on the nose or bridge of the nose to render them unconscious and break a “death grip” on the rescuer.
This was de-emphasized and then eliminated from training by the 1930s–40s, as it was recognized as dangerous and rarely necessary in practice.
What rescuers are actually trained to do with a fighting victim:
• Approach from behind to avoid the grab
• Use flotation (rescue buoy, life ring, PFD) so the victim stays afloat even if they’re panicking
• Subdue and secure the victim into a face-up, supine tow position (sleeper holds, arm locks, etc.)
• Tow to shore or a boat as fast as possible
• Then begin rescue breathing / CPR on a stable surface if the victim is not breathing
The entire protocol is built around removing the victim from the water quickly and safely, not inducing a submersion event.
Intentionally drowning someone would cause the exact hypoxic brain injury the rescue is trying to prevent.

The military cannot be sued for tort.
I have a dear friend who had a healthy baby in a military hospital. She instructed them not to vaccinate the baby.
They did anyway. The baby lived one more day.
Then my friend met the Feres Doctrine.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/feres_doctrine
That is when you wait, keep track and deliver retribution many years later.
Sorry I am in a mood. 😡 And plotting a bit of legal vengeance.
“The military cannot be sued for tort.”
____________
In most cases, the military is also unlikely to be doing civilian search and rescue.
I would expect the vast majority of drowning rescues happen close to shore (lakes or oceans) involving local police search & rescue teams and beach lifeguards.
But it made for an interesting discussion. Basically, anybody besides a privately employed lifeguard can do whatever they want with impunity, but the lifeguard is hosed.
……………………………………
Me: Is murder a tort?
Brave Ai: Yes, murder is considered a tort, specifically categorized as wrongful death.
While murder is primarily a crime against society prosecuted by the state, it is simultaneously a private civil wrong for which the victim’s family can sue the perpetrator for financial damages.
Key distinctions include:
• Dual Liability: A single act of murder can result in both criminal prosecution (punishment via imprisonment) and a civil tort lawsuit (compensation via monetary damages).
• Burden of Proof: Criminal cases require proof beyond a reasonable doubt, whereas tort cases only require a preponderance of the evidence (51% certainty), making it possible for a defendant to be acquitted of murder in criminal court but found liable for the tort of wrongful death in civil court.
• Famous Example: The O.J. Simpson case illustrates this overlap; he was acquitted of criminal murder but later found civilly liable for the tort of wrongful death.
.
Me: If the military kills a civilian — for example, in the process of rescuing a drowning victim who panics and resists, a rescuer intentionally drowns the victim, so the victim and be rescued and resuscitated.
After the drowning victim is safely aboard the helicopter, the military personnel begins resuscitation, but cannot bring the victim back to life.
Apparently the military cannot be sued for tort.
So how would this scenario be adjudicated?
Tried in military court for murder?
No harm, no foul?
Or somewhere in between?
.
Brave Ai: This is a genuinely interesting legal question. The short answer is: somewhere in between, but weighted heavily toward “no harm, no foul” in practice. Here’s how each track would work:
Criminal (UCMJ Court-Martial)
The rescuer is subject to the UCMJ, and the victim’s civilian status is irrelevant — UCMJ jurisdiction depends on the accused’s status, not the victim’s.
So in theory, the rescuer could be charged with:
• Article 118 (Murder) — requires intent to kill or “wanton disregard of human life”
• Article 119 (Manslaughter) — unlawful killing without malice
• Article 134 (Negligent Homicide) — simple negligence
But the critical word in every UCMJ homicide article is “unlawfully.” The rescuer’s defense would be justification/necessity: the drowning was a means to save the victim’s life, not to end it. The attempted resuscitation is powerful evidence against any finding of intent to kill.
If the victim was genuinely panicking and making rescue impossible, and the rescuer reasonably believed submersion was the only option, a military judge or panel would likely find the act was lawful and necessary — no crime at all.
In practice, the command would almost certainly investigate and decline to refer the case for prosecution. Even if referred, the justification defense would be very strong.
Civil (Tort / FTCA)
You’re right — the family has essentially no civil remedy.
Multiple FTCA exceptions stack:
• Intentional tort exception (§ 2680(h)): Intentional drowning = battery.
• The “law enforcement proviso” that carves out an exception only covers investigative or law enforcement officers, not military rescue personnel.
• Foreign country exception (§ 2680(g)): If the rescue occurred overseas (likely, given the helicopter), the claim is barred outright.
• Combatant activities exception (§ 2680(j)): If during a time of war or military operation, additional immunity applies.
• Discretionary function exception (§ 2680(a)): The tactical decision to use force in a rescue could be characterized as discretionary.
So even if the act was unlawful, the government’s sovereign immunity would almost certainly bar a wrongful death suit.
The “In Between” — Ex Gratia
The military can (but is not required to) make ex gratia condolence payments — voluntary, non-admission-of-liability payments to families. These have been used in various civilian casualty situations, particularly overseas.
This is the closest thing to a remedy the family would realistically receive.
Bottom Line
The scenario you describe is the legal system’s “best case” for the military: the act was intentional (blocking the FTCA), performed in the course of duty (supporting justification), with clear evidence of good faith (the resuscitation attempt).
The rescuer is very unlikely to face criminal charges, and the family has no viable civil claim. The most likely “adjudication” is an internal investigation that finds the act was a necessary, lawful rescue measure, and possibly an ex gratia payment to the family.
.
Me: So yesterday, you and I had this discussion, and it sounds like we have arrived at a completely different conclusion:
………………………………..
Me: Do water search and rescue teams drown a hysterical victim if necessary, and resuscitate them after getting them safely aboard a helicopter?
Brave Ai: No, water search and rescue teams do not intentionally drown victims. The primary goal of any rescue operation is to remove the victim from the water as quickly and safely as possible to prevent submersion and hypoxia, not to induce drowning.

……………………………………..
Brave Ai: Good catch — there’s a real tension there, and it’s worth being precise about what each answer was actually doing.
The first answer was descriptive. It stated what rescue teams are trained to do and what protocol actually says. That’s straightforward: no organization trains rescuers to intentionally submerge a victim. That’s a factual claim about practice, and it’s correct.
The second answer was a legal hypothetical. You asked me to analyze a scenario where someone does do something outside every protocol — and what the legal system would do with them. “The justification defense would be strong” is a statement about what a court or commander would likely conclude after the fact, not an endorsement or a description of standard practice.
The distinction is the same as this one: “A doctor who performs an unauthorized experimental surgery that saves a patient’s life probably won’t be prosecuted” doesn’t mean it’s standard medical practice to do unauthorized experimental surgeries. The law’s retrospective leniency toward an act doesn’t make the act orthodox.
So the two answers are consistent once you separate:
• What is trained and done → No one does this. (First answer.)
• What the legal system would likely do if someone did it in extremis →
Probably no prosecution, no viable civil claim. (Second answer.)
The second answer was never saying “this is a legitimate rescue technique.” It was saying “the legal architecture is such that even a very bad-faith reading of the act would likely result in no punishment.” That’s a statement about the gaps in the legal system, not about rescue doctrine.
If anything, the juxtaposition highlights an uncomfortable point: the law would likely excuse an act that no rescue organization would ever authorize. That’s not a contradiction in my answers — it’s a feature of how justification defenses and sovereign immunity interact.
.
.
Me: Now imagine the victim was Saint George Floyd.
Brave Ai: The legal framework doesn’t change. None of the UCMJ articles, the justification/necessity defense, or the FTCA exceptions contain a victim-identity variable. A court-martial panel or federal judge applies the same elements and the same immunity analysis regardless of whether the victim is a random civilian or a nationally prominent figure.
What could shift is the political and practical layer, not the legal standard:
• Command discretion: A commander deciding whether to refer a case for prosecution operates in a political environment. If the victim were a figure who had already become a symbol of a national movement, the pressure to refer — and the pressure to not refer — would both be enormous. But the commander’s discretion is the same discretion; the law doesn’t mandate either outcome.
• Public scrutiny: The investigation would be conducted under a level of public and media attention that would make a quiet, closed-file outcome far less likely. That doesn’t change the legal analysis, but it changes the political cost of a no-action decision.
• Civil side: Still barred by the same FTCA exceptions. The victim’s identity doesn’t open a new cause of action.
So the honest answer is: the law says the same thing; the politics around the law might not. The legal architecture I described is victim-agnostic. Whether the institutional actors within that architecture reach the same practical conclusion under that level of public scrutiny is a different question — one about political will, not legal doctrine.
That gap — between what the law technically permits and what public pressure makes politically survivable — is where the real adjudication would happen. Not in a courtroom. In the office of the commanding officer, and in the court of public opinion.
.
.
Me: What happens if the rescuer is NOT a member of the military, but local emergency rescue workers, or a beach lifeguard?
Brave Ai: The answer splits sharply depending on who employs the rescuer, because the immunity architecture is completely different.

Criminal: State criminal law applies, not the UCMJ. The justification/necessity defense is the same in principle — “I did this to save their life” — but it’s evaluated by a state prosecutor and, if it goes to trial, a state jury.
The practical outcome is probably similar (no charges), but the decision-maker is a district attorney, not a military commander, and DAs operate in a different political environment.
Civil: This is where it gets messy. Instead of one federal statute (the FTCA), you’re looking at 50 different state tort claims acts, and they vary significantly:
• Most states have an intentional tort exception analogous to FTCA § 2680(h), which would bar a battery/wrongful death claim against the municipality.
• Nebraska, for example, bars all claims arising out of an intentional tort regardless of who committed it.
• Some states are narrower or have different carve-outs. California’s Government Code has a complex scheme where public entities can be liable for certain intentional torts by employees under specific conditions.
• Qualified immunity (for § 1983 constitutional claims) is available to government employees acting in their official capacity, but it’s a much thinner shield than FTCA immunity — it only applies to constitutional violations, not ordinary state tort claims.
Good Samaritan laws don’t help. They protect people who voluntarily render aid outside their employment, in good faith, without compensation.
An on-duty paramedic or water rescue technician is acting within their job, for pay, under a duty to rescue. They’re explicitly outside Good Samaritan protection.
Private Beach Lifeguard
This is where the situation changes dramatically.
Criminal: Same state law, same justification defense. Probably no charges in practice.
Civil: No immunity whatsoever. A private lifeguard employed by a beach, hotel, or pool management company has:
• No sovereign immunity (they’re not a government actor)
• No qualified immunity (that’s for government officials)
• No Good Samaritan protection (they’re on duty, compensated, with a legal duty to rescue)
The intentional act of submerging the victim is a battery in its most unambiguous form. The employer is vicariously liable under respondeat superior. The family can sue both the lifeguard personally and the employing company for wrongful death, battery, and possibly punitive damages.
The lifeguard’s only real defense is necessity/justification under state tort law — “I did this to prevent a greater harm (the victim’s death from drowning).” That defense exists in tort law, but it’s a fact-intensive, jury-dependent argument. It’s available, but it’s a much harder sell to a civilian jury than to a military panel, especially when the act looks, on its face, like deliberate drowning.
The Key Contrast
.
The military scenario was actually one of the most protective for the rescuer.
A private lifeguard in the same scenario would be the most legally exposed person in this entire hypothetical — no institutional shield, a jury that sees “intentionally drowned a person,” and an employer with insurance on the hook.
.
.
Me: Thank you!
Brave Ai: You’re welcome! It was a genuinely interesting thread to work through — the way the legal architecture shifts so dramatically depending on who’s doing the rescuing is a good illustration of how much “the law” is really a patchwork of institutional immunities rather than a single coherent principle.
If you want to dig into any of the specific doctrines — FTCA exceptions, state tort claims acts, the necessity defense in tort law — I’m happy to go deeper.
……………………………………
All VERY interesting.
I’m looking at this from the background of having been trained in lifesaving in late 60s / early 70s, and what we were taught, which was perilously close to what this military guy is alleging, although it was from the standpoint of people who were smaller and weaker than the problem people we had to rescue, so “drowning them” by action, rather than inaction, was neither an option nor advisable. But waiting for them to begin drowning so they were manageable WAS an option, and what we were actually trained to do. I am thinking about doing a post about it.
This jumped out at me:
“…the way the legal architecture shifts so dramatically depending on who’s doing the rescuing is a good illustration of how much “the law” is really a patchwork of institutional immunities rather than a single coherent principle.”
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
That’s pretty “too true” IMO!
“Subdue and secure the victim into a face-up, supine tow position (sleeper holds, arm locks, etc.)”
A “sleeper hold” renders the person unconscious, same as a punch.
I have an ex who was a Marine Corps rescue swimmer. Ooh-rah and Semper Fi.
Exactly! A heck of a lot is swept under the rug of “subdue”!
Brave AI with the PC answer!
Basically, everything the dude says is embedded within Brave AI’s PC protocol, which avoids saying anything that “can’t be said” or is “beyond the pale”.
Letting the person weaken (and begin drowning) to the point where it’s safe to grab and tow them is what cannot be said. Brave AI even admits that they may have to be revived by CPR!
It’s an intersection somewhere in “subdue and secure” the magic PC phrase that hides the problem.
Apparently so… I continued the discussion with Ai and confronted it with its answer from yesterday, in a reply to pgroup2 (above or below).
Yes, Brave AI is definitely being its usual self. Good questions!
As smaller scouts – who were substantially smaller than the adults we had to rescue – we were taught a variety of workaround tactics, like ganging up and distracting/surprising drowning people, or if necessary, waiting for them to stop flailing – right before drowning.
A substantial part of our training was to absolutely avoid getting grabbed by the drowning person, who was always bigger than us. We were taught to kick them fast and hard if we had to free ourselves, then wait them out (we were asked not to actually hurt our fake drowning adults, but we had to use force to free ourselves and regroup when they would suddenly surprise us during simulated rescue).
One of the things I remember was being tested for how long we could tread water – even though that was less preferred than long floating techniques. I recall being able to do it almost indefinitely.
It was a LONG time ago!
I remember winning a one-on-one treading water contest w/ one of the male camp counselors, parent age, when at church camp as a teenager. I believe we had to always keep our hands above water. Sometime in that time frame I had also won a greased watermelon against many, mostly boys. I think the counselor felt sorry for me as I was usually marginalized by the clique-ish pack of hyenas 😉

Interesting if true.
“What if there’s no more hunger or poverty?” People become greedy(ier), want more money and more things, become competitive with their neighbors, and continue to commit crimes of passion regarding relationships and such. There is no utopian solution for the human condition. This has been borne out many times throughout history.
Rogan IS one of the wealthy people, so he could start by setting an example and stating his goals of stopping crime by helping people.
Jesus said “the poor you will have with you always” & we know that humanity cannot escape the sinful nature. Utopianism is always destined to fail…
Also would the ‘poor’ in the USA be considered poor or rich in Sub-Saharan Africa?
The poorest Americans live better than the Egyptian Pharaohs. Mainly, indoor plumbing and refrigeration.

I spent time in the Mexican mountains several days burro packing away from the roads. It makes you realize just how much we have in this country.
Amen!!!
He’s trying to blame environment or circumstances or anything but culture.
My reading is that the infographic maker is implying “race” but not saying it outright.
Smells like a stealth endorsement for DSA, Mandumi…Socialism.
Wholly ignorant.
Let’s ask Grok!
Me: According to FBI UCR data in 2022; Poor whites with household income less than $25,000 committed significantly less violent crime than wealthy blacks with household income over $100,000. The rate of crime was 500 per 100,000 people for poor whites, and 3,291 for wealthy blacks. Is this claim true?
Grok:
Thought for 31s
No, the claim is not true. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) data for 2022 (or any recent year) does not break down arrests or offenses by the offender’s race and household income in combination. UCR provides arrest counts and rates by race (and sometimes ethnicity), age, sex, and offense type, but it contains no income information for arrestees or offenders.
beautifydata.com
The specific figures cited (500 per 100,000 for poor Whites with household income <$25,000 and 3,291 per 100,000 for wealthy Blacks with household income >$100,000) do not appear in FBI UCR publications, tables, or the Crime Data Explorer for 2022. Searches for these exact rates or the comparison yield no matching official data.
What the data actually shows
Crime correlates with poverty and neighborhood disadvantage for all groups, but racial disparities in serious violent crime (especially homicide) persist after basic socioeconomic controls in many studies. No official 2022 FBI UCR source produces or supports the precise comparison or rates given. The claim misattributes data that does not exist in that form.
Looks like 2019 is the last year currently given for UCR data reported AS UCR data – not sure if 2022 was out there before being replaced by a more convenient tool.
Still researching…..
I may think this guy is correct and real, but I also think it’s almost certain he can’t win. Which is sad.

Verse of the Day for Thursday, September 3, 2026
✟
“From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”
Psalms 61:2 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR PSALMS 61
David seeks God upon former experience. (1-4) He vows to serve God. (5-8)
1-4 David begins with prayers and tears, but ends with praise. Thus the soul, being lifted up to God, returns to the enjoyment of itself. Wherever we are, we have liberty to draw near to God, and may find a way open to the throne of grace. And that which separates us from other comforts, should drive us nearer to God, the fountain of all comfort. Though the heart is overwhelmed, yet it may be lifted up to God in prayer. Nay, I will cry unto thee, for by that means it will be supported and relieved. Weeping must quicken praying, and not deaden it. God’s power and promise are a rock that is higher than we are. This rock is Christ. On the Divine mercy, as on a rock, David desired to rest his soul; but he was like a ship-wrecked sailor, exposed to the billows at the bottom of a rock too high for him to climb without help. David found that he could not be fixed on the Rock of salvation, unless the Lord placed him upon it. As there is safety in Him, and none in ourselves, let us pray to be led to and fixed upon Christ our Rock. The service of God shall be his constant work and business: all must make it so who expect to find God their shelter and strong tower. The grace of God shall be his constant comfort.
5-8 There is a people in the world that fear God’s name. There is a heritage peculiar to that people; present comforts in the soul, earnests of future bliss. Those that fear God have enough in him, and must not complain. We need desire no better heritage than that of those who fear God. Those abide to good purpose in this world, who abide before God, serve him, and walk in his fear; those who do so, shall abide before him for ever. And these words are to be applied to Him of whom the angel said, the Lord shall give unto him the throne of his father David, and of his kingdom there shall be no end, #Lu 1:32|. God’s promises, and our faith in them, are not to do away, but to encourage prayer. We need not desire to be better secured than under the protection of God’s mercy and truth. And if we partake of that grace and truth which came by Jesus Christ, we may praise him, whatever be our outward circumstances. But renewed experience of God’s mercy and truth towards his people in Christ, is the main matter of our joy in him, and our praise unto him.
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Greece has passed a new law imposing at least 10 years in prison and a €50,000 fine on NGO workers who help migrants cross its borders illegally, even if they do it for free.
Anyone else who commits the same offense faces at least five years in prison and a €20,000 fine. NGO workers who help illegal migrants hide from police or remain in Greece can receive up to 10 years in prison.
Transporting or hiding them carries at least 10 years and a €60,000 fine for every migrant involved. The government can also remove the entire NGO from its official list as soon as a member is charged.
Time for the USA to ENFORCE our similar laws.
AGREED!
Just think, if we had NGOs in the early 19th century they would have ended slavery before the Civil War was necessary.

this mother found guilty of killing her 5 year old.
FTA
INDIANAPOLIS – An Indianapolis mother has been found guilty on all counts of murdering her 5-year-old daughter. For her crimes, the jury sentenced McClure to life in prison without parole.
Jury deliberations began at 9:05 a.m. Tuesday. Word came down slightly after 4 p.m. that the jury had reached a decision.
Toni McClure was charged with murder, criminal confinement and battery in connection with the death of her daughter, 5-year-old Kinsleigh Welty.
The trial lasted about a week before attorneys delivered closing arguments on Monday.
This marked the second trial for McClure; her first one ended in a mistrial due to inappropriate communications between a juror and a witness.
Welty died in April 2024. Police were dispatched to a home on Denver Drive on the southwest side where they found her unresponsive. She appeared malnourished and police noted she had fecal matter and lice on her head, hair and feet.
She died from severe malnutrition. Court documents showed a prior history of neglect.
After further investigation, police discovered she was forced to live inside a small bedroom closet that was blocked with a dresser to prevent her from getting out.
McClure told investigators she routinely put Kinsleigh in the closet and did the bare minimum to feed her.

Good example of why a mis-trialed defendant should plea bargain, rather than go to trial again.
Rarely does the prosecution fail to get a conviction on a second try.

The organization operates a Sharia-compliant endowment while constructing “pathways to influence” for Muslim professionals inside institutions that shape American law, policy and culture.
“By building a network of Muslim American professionals through ISF, we are expanding our ability as a faith community to actualize our collective potential.”
That statement from a scholarship recipient is still prominently displayed on the Islamic Scholarship Fund’s website.
It is not an isolated comment.

San Diego County confronts fresh round of sex-abuse claims by former youth
The abuse claims, which landed in San Diego federal court last week, come as the county departments of Probation and of Child and Family Well-Being already are confronting similar lawsuits from hundreds of other former residents of juvenile halls, temporary shelters and foster care facilities.
The wave of litigation was prompted by state legislation enacted in 2019 that temporarily reopened the statute of limitations for sexual assault litigation against public agencies to allow plaintiffs under 40 years of age to pursue civil cases.
School districts, county governments and other public agencies across San Diego County and the state say they are being overwhelmed with a flood of abuse lawsuits — many difficult to defend because the allegations are from decades ago. Some officials also accuse plaintiffs’ attorneys of capitalizing on the state law as a money grab for big settlements and attorneys’ fees.
It has also spawned an insurance crisis for those agencies, and even agencies that aren’t directly getting sued, as the influx of cases inflates insurance costs overall. Agencies are also often being forced to pay for the resulting case settlements out of their own general funds because their insurance is limited in scope.
San Diego County is not alone in confronting lawsuits alleging sexual abuse decades ago by government employees. Los Angeles County last year agreed to a $4 billion legal settlement to victims of abuse in that jurisdiction.
A big WIN-WIN for lawyers and Insurance companies while the ‘victims’ get a pittance… if that.
It also opens up old wounds.

Good morning, C&C, it’s Thursday! Your roundup includes: Michael and Susan Dell start wiring $250 into millions of kids’ Trump Accounts, corporate America lines up to match, parents flood social media with thank-you notes, and the corporate press covers the biggest voluntary wealth transfer in history with all the urgency of a DMV clerk on a Friday afternoon; House Democrats vote against capping the Supreme Court at nine justices, which is another way of voting for uncapping it, so I have a modest proposal; the DOJ digs up a 1996 Clinton welfare law and discovers that the word “State” means, of all things, the state, which is bad news for twenty-five blue-state lawsuits and one very pale judge; and, after Jeffrey Tucker’s bruising bout with Grok, a practical guide to cross-examining a chatbot, because the robot doesn’t have opinions, it has exhibits, and you’re the one who gets to decide what’s in the evidence binder.

“MASSIVE SECURITY NIGHTMARE: FBI Investigates Dark-Web Service Selling 153+ MILLION Driver’s License Scans — Including Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Information for $100”
by Jim Hᴏft Sep. 2, 2026 2:40 pm
EXCERPT: “The FBI is investigating what could be one of the most devastating identity-data breaches ever uncovered in North America. A newly launched dark-web service called “Nexus” claims to be selling actual digital scans of more than 153 million driver’s licenses belonging to people across the United States and Canada, according to cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs, who first reported the incident.
This is not merely another database containing stolen names, email addresses, and passwords.
The criminals reportedly obtained digital images of government-issued identification documents, including front-and-back scans and, in some cases, the infrared and ultraviolet images used to authenticate them.
According to cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs, the massive collection allegedly includes:
The database reportedly contains the driver’s license of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, along with identification documents belonging to other high-ranking federal officials, including an assistant director of the FBI. According to the report, the hacker offered Hegseth’s driver’s license for $100.
Krebs discovered that his own Virginia driver’s license was also in the database after the criminals behind Nexus displayed it as a free sample while advertising their service on the Russian-language cybercrime forum Exploit.
According to Krebs, his record contained six separate image files: three sets of front-and-back photographs consisting of a standard scan and infrared and ultraviolet versions. “This is an identity thief’s dream—and a security nightmare for potentially more than half of America’s licensed drivers.”
A blank search of the Nexus database reportedly returned approximately 11.5 million pages, with roughly 15 results displayed per page, suggesting that the criminals may not be exaggerating about the enormous size of the archive…..”
The number of available driver’s license records reportedly increased by nearly 400,000 in just 24 hours.
The criminals behind Nexus claimed they had been continuously stealing new information for more than a year…..”

COMMENT of the day:
De-RINOtheSenate
They have tied the theft into Hertz rental according to Hubby.
oh…that’s interesting
I thought so.
In 1954, a woman in Maine killed her 3 children. She was placed in an asylum and treated. After she was released, she reunited with her husband and they had 3 more children. Then she murdered those three children, after they doctors said she was cured.
https://www.independentsentinel.com/a-mother-in-1954-drowned-her-3-children-she-killed-3-more/
WTH?!
Obviously their conclusion that she was cured was wrong.
Because of course it was.
Even if it was possible they were right, it was crazy irresponsible to allow her to be in a position to commit the same crime a second time
If you murder someone, that has to do something to you, internally.
If you murder your own children, that has to mess you up, no matter how much therapy or treatment one gets.
You can’t unring that bell.
Never having done something like that before, like murdering one’s own children, is the emergency brake. It’s the thing that stops you, if or when nothing else can. It’s the thing you never do, because it’s simply not done.
But if a human being overcomes that internal protection circuit, and does the thing which is never done, that internal protection circuit is gone, and there is no replacement for it.
So the next time that person is in a similar situation, or under similar stress, or similar depression, there is no internal governor, there is no restraint. The thing which didn’t hold them back the first time, will also not hold them back if there is a next time.
Which is why there can’t be a next time.
No one can predict if a person can overcome the internal circuit breaker that stops normal people from committing murder the first time — much less murdering one’s own children.
But everyone can predict that if someone overcomes that internal circuit breaker just once, their chance of doing it again is off the charts.
It’s the same reason you don’t allow convicted p3dophiles to be alone around children, no matter how long they claim to have been ‘recovered’. You don’t take that chance, not ever, because that person’s internal wiring is messed up. If he is given the opportunity, there is no internal governor to stop him — and the price won’t be paid by the adults who were negligent, it will be paid by innocent children.
Responsible adults don’t ever allow a situation like that to occur.
And the exact same reasoning applies to a parent who murders his or her own children.

COMPLETE REMISSIONS of Stage IV cancers with anti-parasitics are now being documented in the scientific literature. HUNDREDS of studies show ivermectin and mebendazole attack cancer through 12+ distinct mechanisms across 12+ cancer types. A recent study found nano-ivermectin SHRUNK glioblastoma brain tumors by 70% in just 10 days in rats. Ivermectin is also SAFER than Tylenol.

Do You See How Trump Is Setting The Stage? Military Is The Only Way, Eyes On Patriots – Ep. 3985

Canada is in difficult position, the [CB] is trying to fight Trump, but in the end the country will implode and the people will rise up against Carney. Less people are filing for unemployment, more job openings. Investments pouring into the US. The [CB] is already backtracking on the raising the rates, right on schedule, the bump is coming. Trump is decentralizing the the country. The D’s are on their last leg of trying to delay Trump. The remaining corrupt judges are now trying to stop the removal of their election cheating system. This will fail. Trump is making sure everything is in place for the accountability phase. He is now setting the stage, the military is the only way, Trump is removing the enemy globally, it had to be this way.

Sickening…
Libs of TikTok:
Evil….no recognition Of Jesus, God the Father, the Holy Spirit.
Apparently there is ONE holdout for conviction, all the rest want to set her free. The defense wants to remove the lone holdout.
.
So if a juror thinks she is guilty, that means that juror is not following the judge’s instructions? Apparently that’s what the defense lawyer is arguing.
That’s what it sounds like 👍
If I was on a jury, and I was convinced of either guilt or innocence, I would hold out until hell froze over. No way would I violate my principles just to go along and get along.
As far as I am concerned, the judge should BUTT OUT. He should only act as ‘referee. And inform the jury of the law.
Asmongold guessed it’s one dude holding out for conviction, and all the female jurors trying to set her free.
If that turns out to be true, the jury system is finished in America.
Women will have taken protected-class status to a whole new level, applying it to matters of life and death in a court of law — empowering women, by precedent, to murder their children.
And not even the old fashioned way, in the womb — but up until the time the children are legal adults.
That’s game over.
At that point, either women can no longer be allowed to serve on juries, or we just scrap the rule of law, and call it good.
It was a good run.
We made it 250 years, and that’s all she wrote… 🤣
I don’t think it’s funny at all.
I am clearly a woman. I can’t disguise it. And being tarred with the same brush as retarded maniacs who can’t function as logical, sane, adults makes me angry on a level I can hardly explain.
There has GOT to be some test, trial, or measure to separate people like ME from people like the TikTok morons cheering for a child murderer. Some way that I can be taken seriously, and they can be marginalized like children.
I know it has to be frustrating, I wish I had a good answer.
We can’t ignore that it is clearly (and mostly) women who have lost their minds, and who appear to have taken control of the Left, and who have embraced the concept of ‘hell hath no fury like a woman who can play the victim’.
And they’re not going to stop until someone stops them.
And it’s not hard to stop them. Most of them can’t fight, certainly not against a man. Most of them couldn’t exist without men. From the cars they drive, to the gas that goes in their cars, to their phones and TVs and computers, to the houses they live in, to everything they own or use, the vast majority of it was invented by men, produced by men, and is maintained by men.
Men can defeat them easily in multiple ways.
1) Physically is the most obvious.
2) men could simply take away their rights. Women’s rights only exist because men decided to grant them. They didn’t exist before men decided to grant them, and lots of women (e.g. Phyllis Schlafly) could foresee the problems with the ERA and all the rest of it, and opposed it — so none of it would have passed without men.
Women couldn’t have passed any of it themselves, they were nowhere near 51%.
3) men could simply withdraw, stop interacting with any women who are Leftists. Don’t date them, don’t help them with anything, don’t even talk to them — simply recognize them as the pariahs they are, and avoid them.
I’m sure there are lots more. We’re not up against Lex Luthor, we’re up against a disorganized mob of mental illness.
I don’t know what sort of signal normal women could use to publicly distinguish themselves from the crazy women.
Normal women could agree to use something like a particular colored armband or similar, but that could just be copied by the enemy libtard wymyns.
So what is some kind of visible, outward symbolic thing that normal women could do, that the crazy Leftard women would refuse to copy?
I think wearing dresses might do it. Most Leftard wymyn can’t stand wearing a dress, and probably haven’t worn one in 30+ years.
If normal women started dressing and doing their makeup and hair like women did in the 1950s and 1960s, being overtly feminine, modern Leftard wymyn could never copy that. If anything, it would make them so mad they’d go the other direction, and make their appearance even more butch.
That’s all I got at the moment, but I just started thinking about it.
I have to break some bad news to you.
Many, many men have lost their way, too.
I run across them all the time. The beta males. They wear Birkenstocks with socks, ride bicycles, eat tofu, and drink soy lattes.
There are a LOT of them. Even here in Montana! Sure, we have more than our fair share of gun-toting, cowboy hat-wearing, God-fearing males out here. But I’m telling you, this plague of insanity is not confined to women.
We have a massive societal problem.
Right, that’s a consequence.
When a society shames white men for being masculine and discriminates against white men by promoting every other conceivable demographic through the protected-class caste system, that’s what you get out the other end.
Docile, listless, beta males.
The gun-toting, cowboy hat wearing, God-fearing males are like people who refused to wear masks during Covid.
Much less common. They’re swimming against the current.
The vast majority cannot fight the system from birth to death, because most human beings require all kinds of cooperation to achieve success.
Who is going to cooperate with, or help, the white man, in our society?
If you want a chance at life, for most people that means working within the system. And if white men expect to have any access to female-dominated colleges and female-dominated HR departments in the business world, he better be a Birkenstock-wearing, bicycle riding, tofu-eating, and soy latte drinking beta male.
Or do you think they’ll let someone like me get in (or through) their college?
Or promote someone like me at their places of business?
The beta-boi problem is a result of the feminism problem, not a predecessor or a co-occurrence.
I am encouraging young men, including my 16-year-old grandson, NOT to go to college. Go to the trades instead.
The money is better, you can earn while you learn (apprenticeship), and you can make really good money.
College education should only be for engineers, mathematicians, lawyers, and doctors. Maybe a few others. And a lot of the college fields of today are going to be obsolete if the AI proponents have their way.
Oh, and you’ll know me for what I am by my fruits. It’s obvious from my home, garden, and life.
But as far as just to look at, I’m not sure how to do it. I don’t think dresses are the answer for this tiny-homestead creator. It would be ridiculous. I’m sure Gail doesn’t want to lift 50 pound sacks of feed in a dress, either.
“But as far as just to look at, I’m not sure how to do it. I don’t think dresses are the answer for this tiny-homestead creator. It would be ridiculous. I’m sure Gail doesn’t want to lift 50 pound sacks of feed in a dress, either.”
____________
I understand what you mean.
There has to be some kind of visual identifier, a way to distinguish between friendlies and enemy combatants.
If there isn’t, then eventually, the default mode becomes ‘they’re all enemies’, no different than with fatiguers.
Because men can’t afford to endlessly extend the benefit of the doubt to women when the majority of women hate them for what they are, in the same way white men can no longer extend the hand of friendship to black people, because the majority of black people hate them too.
Black people might stab you, shoot you or sneak up behind you and knock you out, just for the fun of it. And they’ll be rewarded for it. If a white man has the opportunity to defend himself and does so, he’s a racist until proven innocent beyond any doubt. Which is an impossible burden of proof.
Women do the equivalent from the safety of social media and HR departments. Or by making false accusations.
When the majority of people have decided that you are their enemy, and you don’t have any way to distinguish between friend or foe by looking at them, the rational response is to withdraw from all of them.
Which is exactly what more and more men are doing.
How many times do you have to get smacked in the face, before you start avoiding the hand?
That number is different for everyone.
But it is a finite number.
I think I might have your visual identifier.
How about long, naturally-colored HAIR? That can be braided or coiled up for work, but down for the rest of the time.
Leftist women seem to prefer butch purple or green or some godawful color hair. And it has been shown that unnatural hair color is indicative of mental illness.
The unnaturally colored hair is definitely a red flag.
Unfortunately, lots of AWFULS have long hair. Like 3 out of the 4 Nike marketing and strategy ‘officers’ shown in a post on today’s (Sept. 7th) thread:

I’m guessing DJT is waiting to announce the end of the USMCA for some strategic or symbolic day, six months from now, so that when the USMCA is officially terminated, it will coincide with something else.
So I asked Brave, and the response is almost unbelievable… what a mess!
It must be like this all year long — there’s nothing special about March in relation to any of this nonsense 🤣
………………..
Me: Are there any significant events or memorials or observances in Canada, approximately 6 months from now?
Brave Ai: Approximately six months from September 3, 2026 is March 2026. Key significant events and observances in Canada during this period include:
• International Women’s Day on March 8, a major day celebrating women’s achievements and advocating for gender equality.
• National Indigenous Languages Day and International Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31, highlighting Indigenous heritage and transgender rights.
• International Francophonie Day on March 20, celebrating French-speaking communities.
• International Day for the Elimination of Racism and Racial Discrimination on March 21.
• National Indigenous Languages Week runs from March 31 to April 5, with April 24 marking Armenian Genocide Memorial Day.
• National Pink Shirt Day is observed on February 25, preceding the March window but often part of the same anti-bullying awareness season.
These dates are derived from the 2026 observance calendars for Canada, highlighting both federal statutory recognitions and broader cultural awareness days.

USMCA Termination Announcement Looming?
September 3, 2026
SD: “For those waiting patiently for the USMCA termination announcement, this is a potential indication and/or signal of pendency.
When President Trump and USTR Jamieson Greer send the official notification, a six-month countdown clock begins running. As of right now there are no official statements that indicate the likely triggering, it’s a guess. However, there are datapoints aligning in that direction.
.
[SOURCE]
No one outside our assembly has contemplated the termination of the USMCA (CUSMA) or what would occur in the aftermath; however, the Bank of Canada has gamed out the financial consequences, briefly in their forward guidance. The ramifications are significant, perhaps more significant than any other global trade announcement.
[…] “it more likely that a new shock or a combination of shocks could cause several vulnerabilities to crystalize at once. If this were to happen, these vulnerabilities could interact and reinforce each other.
A cascading series of events could cause a sharp loss of investor confidence and lead to a spike in demand for liquidity or rapid asset sales. Funding markets could come under pressure, and stress could spread more broadly.” [SOURCE]
I suggest we keep a close eye on all U.S-Mexico discussions, as well as geopolitical leverage points that might surface in the U.S-Mexico relationship. My best guess is that once the U.S. and Mexico come to renewed terms on the ‘USMCA’ as a potential bilateral free trade agreement, that will be the moment when the planets are aligned for the termination notification.
The financial markets in Canada are tied directly to the independent strength of the Canadian economy. Which is to say, the financial system in Canada is dependent on historic ties to the United States. Pull out all of the dependencies within the economy, a result of a fracturing of the “geopolitical relationship,” and suddenly the Bank of Canada faces a “cascading series of events” they have not previously had to entertain.
A significant number of multinational corporations within Canada are geographically centered due to American proximity and the dependency that has historically been considered a partnership. That relationship has now changed, and despite Mark Carney saying that Canada can be stronger standing alone, there is no economic model for Canada to retain its wealth position without the inherent subsidy that proximity to America provides.
There is no ‘partnership’ with Europe and/or China, or a combination of partnerships, that can replace the one-way nature of the subsidies from the U.S. economy that Canada enjoys.
If the Canadian people, workers and companies therein, have to rely on their own domestic economic activity to fund their GDP, their lifestyle will have to modify in very significant ways.
Now, I want you to think about the Bank of Canada’s previous statement against the backdrop of this announcement yesterday:
The Dutch central bank (DNB) has transferred approximately 86 metric tons of gold out of the U.S. and Canada to the U.K., seeking to shore up its contingency planning in view of “increasing geopolitical unrest.”
Just over one-quarter of the central bank’s gold reserves held in New York and Ottawa had been shifted to London between March and August, DNB said Wednesday. [SOURCE]
Prepare your affairs accordingly.”
^^^^ This is a good heads up.
My take –
The Venezuela take down and surrender with the big oil deal of all time being signed, pinched the criminal leadership of Meh-i-co. Notice how quiet and subdued they have been. It is because PDT and crew are making a deal with them as discussed above. Kicking Russia, Chyna and Iran out of our neighbors to the south has adjusted Meh-i-co’s attitudes, especially as we systematically take down their cartels that were also aligned with VZ, Columbia, etc.
Donroe Doctrine for our side of the world is well underway. We will intervene in other parts of the world when international waters and attacks on American interests are made. We will maintain strategic larger bases in friendly nations, just less of them to cut costs and create efficiencies. Space Force provides the overwatch and early detection.
To put it bluntly, Canada is about to be in a world of shit of their own making. PDT, Bessent, Greer, Lutnick and gang will make them feel totally reamed out and raw rather quickly. Like welcome to the third world nearly overnight.
I am here for it. We the People have been subsidizing their pompous tails for a very long time.
The Crown and Rothe’s are making the Canucks go through this because their ultimate goal is WW III to protect what assets they have left. They are doing the Iran version of the stall in hopes that America messes up and votes in their Dem operatives. I have to believe that has been covered by #47’s admin and the military. But we need to do our parts and get out the vote.
I certainly agree. However I think the Greek-Israel vs Turkey & Mecca Alliance buddies is also a situation to watch.
The Cabal REALLY REALLY want a WWIII and it looks like they are pulling out all stops to get it.

They can’t have WWIII if America isn’t in it. Then it’s just another regional war.
In that case, America says “No nukes, and may the best man win”.
Europe will fold almost immediately.
They can’t fight a civil war, a hostile islamic invasion and a foreign war. They can’t fight any of those individually, much less all three at the same time.
I never said they would get one, just that they WANT one.
If Russia, China and the USA so NO! they can forget it.
That is why I think they may try the Greek — Turkey fight since Iran & Ukraine are not working.
“To put it bluntly, Canada is about to be in a world of shit of their own making.”

I don’t understand how they don’t understand how precarious their position is, or why they seem to think they’re operating from a position of strength and power.
It’s delusional.
I have watched a few Canadian interviews, and the hosts really haven’t seemed to grasp what is happening.
Almost like they’re North Koreans, and their entire view of the world beyond their borders is controlled by North Korean (or in this case, Canadan) Fake News.
Almost as if they’re operating from a completely different (imaginary) fact set.

None of that matters. Carney looks at the battlefield, turns to his advisors who are whispering “fight” in his ears. He has the Democrats, the DSA, the EU, China and the British crown in the bleachers cheering him. Anyone would tell you that Carney has never been known for corralling his ego. Add his utter disregard for the Canadian people and all he has to wait for is some federal judge to declare the US position illegal.
The Supreme court has already ruled on tariffs and he is following the treaty on the tri-lateral agreement.
There is no limit to a judge throwing sand in the gears.
I’m sure Carnevil and his deadites know the reality of the situation, and they’re prepared to sacrifice all of Canada on the altar of their weirdo cult.
But the Canadian People are going along with it, seemingly clueless.
We’re going to need a wall on the northern border.
He is a very good speaker.
Obama Judge hands MAJOR WIN to Red States in Election Order Fight! (15 minutes)
Looks like Robert Gouveia Esq. found an interesting twist in the Post Office — Mail in ballot legal case
The League of Women Voters is one of the groups suing the Trump Administration to stop the new post office rules to ensure fair elections 🤣
I am well aware and have refrained from calling and yelling at them. My Mom must be turning over in her grave.
Yup. Many ladies are!
The League of Leftist Women Voters is a pestilence!
MUST WATCH
Brave young girl SPEAKS OUT at a @WCPSS board meeting in NC against a mentally ill male teacher pretending to be a woman:
“God made us only a girl or a boy at birth. Anything else is confusing. I want to learn at school, not be confused. I want to feel safe. A man teacher dressed as a woman and acts like a woman scares me. Please protect me and other kids.”
WCPSS = Wake County Public School System aka Raleigh. It figures,
Bless her for mentioning God, but in the eyes of the Left, that makes her an extremist whose opinions don’t matter. She was “indoctrinated” by her “extremist” parents.
Anyone who disagrees with the infantile Left is considered an extremist whose opinions don’t matter.
That’s all they have. They can’t win an argument, they don’t have one. They can’t even say out loud what a woman is.
They are radical religious screwballs, and their religion is destruction.
That’s why the Left is no different than ISIS, Hamas, IRGC or Borg.
That’s why they are an enemy of this country.
Maria Bartiromo was fired.

Fox News is a bad place, outright hostile to MAGA and always has been.
Mike Nellis reported on this from Status news: “Status is reporting Fox fired Maria Bartiromo after she leaked internal texts to the White House showing the network had told staff to stop amplifying Trump’s latest election conspiracy theories. Trump has so thoroughly captured the right-wing media ecosystem that its biggest stars now see themselves as his informants first and journalists never.”

Never heard of ‘Status News’, looks like it’s just a CNN human waste byproduct:
……………………………………
Me: Status News
Brave Ai: “Status is a media-industry newsletter founded by former CNN reporter Oliver Darcy in 2024, which has recently announced its first live event, the “Status Summit,” scheduled for September 9, 2026, at The Times Center in New York City.”
.
.
Me: Mike Nellis.
Brave Ai: Mike Nellis is a Democratic strategist, entrepreneur, and media personality based in Chicago.
He’s best known for:
• Founding Authentic, a digital fundraising and advertising agency that has raised over $1 billion for progressive campaigns
• Co-founding Quiller.ai, an AI-driven political content platform
• Serving as a Senior Advisor to Kamala Harris
• Publishing Endless Urgency, a Substack newsletter with over 1 million subscribers
• Being the 32nd Ward Committeeman in Chicago
In the context of Status (from your earlier question), Nellis is a frequent amplifier of its reporting on X. Yesterday (Sep 3), he shared Status’s breaking report that Fox News fired Maria Bartiromo after she leaked internal texts to the White House.
He’s also been a regular on Fox News as a Democratic commentator, recently clashing with Clay Travis on-air.

Wiki on Oliver Darcy:
Hence, “Status.”
That explains why Maria has not been vocal. Or, not that I’ve read.
Hope Maria hauls in seven or eight figures.

That could get interesting, fast.
It’d be seriously annoying in the US. It would be a prima facie case for wiping out any telecommunications there.
Get them all onto Starlink. Once there, Elon can give DJT the address of each hacker logging in.
The ultimate in targeted strikes. Of course, we could first download the latest version of Stuixnet into their ‘puters.
Then we could finish it off by sending them to the other side of the lawn.
