The editors confirm that a deep state conspiracy theory was in fact a real conspiracy.

I’m tempted to generalize from the observation, but won’t. Except to say that it is clear Joe Biden is an illegitimate president.

Mental illness of mothers of trans boys

It has alreqady been established that gender dysphoria is strongly linked with autism and other mental illness, but this study found that the majority of mothers of boys with gender dysphoria are afflicted with Borderline Personality Disorder. BPD is bad stuff. Highly manipulative women who sabotage the relationships of those around them to maintain a hold on them.

I have often wondered how Affirmative Care salesmen convince parents to do such destructive things to their children, but now it makes sense. The mothers are bat-shit crazy and the fathers have either fled or have been cowed into letting them have their way.

I’m not particularly interested in Audrey Hale’s manifesto, but I strongly object to the idea that it is too dangerous to be released to the public.

On one hand I have faith that public disclosure will lead ultimately to the best reactionary result. On the other hand I don’t trust officials who withhold information “for our own good” — they have no right to do so.

Transcripted video.

Here is a long video that is well worth listening to. My quick take is that Mr. Kennedy could well be the Democratic Party’s Donald Trump. In fact, he could be a better Trump than Trump.

My compliments to the man. I look forward to his campaign.

Good credit rating gets higher fees.

So, if you have lived responsibly and have a good credit rating, you will be penalized to subsidize those who were reckless.

Time to rename the Democratic party to reflect reality.

The Marxist Party.

WSJ, Harlan Crow as collateral damage

The attempts to portray Harlan Crow as a Nazi sympathizer as a way to smear Thomas by association turn out to be false and KNOWINGLY false.

Citing the example of the Pentagon Papers, Ray McGovern opines that only a senior executive “at the upper reaches of The Joint Chiefs of Staff or the National Intelligence directorate” could have accumulated the specific intelligence that National Guard Airman Jack Texeira is accused of leaking via a gamers’ chat server on the Internet. The speculation is based on the fact that some of the material consists of CIA and Department of State internal documents that are never disseminated outside those agencies, even to other members of the intelligence community. McGovern believes that someone close to the White House wants to derail President Biden’s foreign policy agenda before it leads to war.

McGovern notes that leaks like the Texeira leak can be consequential. Some here may remember, for example, that shortly after the Pentagon Papers became public, LBJ announced he would not seek reelection.

Because the U.S. is the most heavily propagandized nation on Earth, I sometimes think a whole new world could evolve around us and few would notice. It is easy, for example, to overlook the recent meeting between the presidents of France and China.

The writer seems to think the meeting produced a significant outcome, specifically a joint declaration in which China and France together said, “They seek to strengthen the multilateral international system under the aegis of the United Nations, in a multipolar world.”

I think this outcome is significant, too. My first reaction is to worry that the dunderheads who shape public opinion in the U.S. will step up their efforts to demonize China. But that is the last thing we need just now. An escalation of tribal rhetoric can only lead to invincible ignorance and potentially to conflict.

Inverse relationship between knowledge and concern

Germans have a higher degree of education than we do, but the results are unsurprising.

The more you actually know about the subject, the less concerned you are.

He failed to report real estate deals with Crow. More troubling, in 2011 he checked “none” for each of 5 years required reporting spousal income, yet Ginni received $680K from Heritage over that period. Heritage has supported various conservative litigants directly or indirectly over the years.

“Thomas has long been under scrutiny for possible conflicts of interest. Last year, Senate Democrats called on Thomas to recuse himself from certain cases after it was revealed that his wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, had pressed the Trump White House in text messages to try to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.”

“Thomas was the only justice to dissent in the Supreme Court’s decision in January to reject Donald Trump’s request to block documents from being released to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.”
