Bull Durham
A Soft Coup, Arizona Election Integrity & Gorsuch the Great
Well again, another slow week. Nothing much happening on the news front. Just confirmation of a coup against a sitting President and the complete weaponization of the U.S. Security State against one half of the nation. Real sleepy stuff.
On the bright side, I’m starting to notice some very smart people coming around to our perspective. There’s nothing ordinary or normal about what’s going on in this country or the broader globe. This isn’t business as usual.
This isn't your run-of-the-mill turbulence; we find ourselves in an extraordinary and challenging time. The convergence of multifarious large-scale cycles and trends has created a sort of Fourth Turning on PEDs. For any student of history capable of disentangling themselves from the unceasing bombardment of disinformation and indoctrination, the view of this vast forest from amidst the trees is revealing.
We find ourselves in the final throes of a colossal financial super-debt cycle, which potentially heralds the end, or at least a significant transformation, of fiat currency and the unchallenged supremacy of the dollar as the global reserve currency.
The disastrous mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal has arguably tipped the scales towards the Russia/Ukraine conflict. Our failed attempt to impose sanctions on Russia has catalyzed a shift towards a multipolar world. Former allies are now conducting trade in alternative currencies or openly aligning themselves with the BRICS coalition, whose collective economic output now surpasses that of the G7.
Led by the G7 nations, the global sovereign debt bubble is rapidly reaching the end game. Although this unraveling process may span several years, the staggering $30 trillion (and escalating) debt we've amassed, combined with the $150 trillion in unfunded liabilities we've committed to, is simply untenable. Our only recourse thus far has been the Generational FU of 'kicking the can down the road', hoping to defer the inevitable crisis for a few more years.
We also find ourselves perched on the precipice of a technological supercycle propelled by Artificial Intelligence (AI), an advancement that promises to eclipse all previous innovations, including the Internet. As I have previously written, the trajectory of this phenomenon remains shrouded in uncertainty, yet it's akin to a coin toss whether humanity can navigate this sea change unscathed. Additionally, the odds are considerably skewed towards an impending employment apocalypse in the coming decade, necessitating urgent remedial measures.
Spiritually, we’re seeing a fascinating synthesis and rebirth of two parallel revivals: the rekindling of faith and the emergence of consciousness-expanding psychedelics.
From a societal standpoint, we are gradually inching towards a low-key Race War. While race was once considered passé, Obama, Biden along with a handsomely compensated movement of race grifting ‘entrepreneurs’ have created a racial hatred renaissance at every turn. Authentic concerns regarding crime, education, and culture have transformed this into an explosive topic that only a select few such as Scott Adams have dared to confront. However, this issue is one that must be broached if we aspire to achieve the Melting Pot ideal.
Moreover, immigration, a significant and deliberate player in this discourse, is exerting a fierce strain on American customs and infrastructure. It underlines the urgent need for comprehensive and prudent reform to sustainably manage (or reverse) the immigration flow while preserving the fabric of American society.
I’ve written about these topics for quite some time and it’s encouraging that I’m finally seeing conservatives, libertarians and even the occasional old school liberal (you know, those dinosaurs who believe in free speech, constitutional rights and so on who are despised by the radical leftist and activist wing who have taken over the Democratic party) recognizing the unique challenges and time we reside in.
A profound concern I harbor is the seemingly inescapable trajectory towards fascism. The social compact has been ruptured by the political left, through the politicization of the COVID-19 crisis, the weaponization of intelligence agencies and law enforcement against half the nation, and a semi-soft coup against a sitting president. An expected repercussion is retaliation from the political right, potentially culminating in secession, civil war, or a one-sided fascist purge. The most optimistic scenario could be a drastic revival of extreme federalism - a significant empowerment of states' rights coupled with the defunding and defanging of the federal government.
Here’s a FB post from a very level-headed and centrist contact of mine. Such a take would be unimaginable as early as 2014:
“I think I mentioned here some time ago that I have had some premonition that something was going to go really wrong with the country - not the ordinary Soros-inspired (I finally come out as an anti-Semite) problems, or the disastrous foreign policy, but just some big 'thing'. When COVID hit a couple of Jew-hating friends asked if that was what I had been thinking of, and it really wasn't.
My whole feeling - less of dread than inevitability - was and is simply that there is no hand on the tiller. That is not always fatal in the short run - reports of the nation (or any institution) going pear-shaped, even when there is some kind of serious miscalculation, are usually exaggerated, because most organizations are hardier (and have to be) and have some kinds of redundancies built in.
I know that people (not least myself) get upset with all the wrongs that are done in terms of the criminal injustice system, for example, but while we focus on the 'badness' of people like the Manhattan D.A., the more salient feature is not his anti-social viewpoint, but his genuine sense of reality of how things work - even to get his results. Stupidity is far more dangerous than mendaciousness.
My sense is of something more chaotic, because when no one in charge has a sense of reality (including economic reality) bad decisions and results just pile up. I kind of think the illegal alien business may be part of that, at least a real symptom, because it is not really reversible (at least for those who make it in), and I kind of think that the Second Great Patriotic War is part of that, not only because of the global realignment, which won't be put back to where it was, or because of the money spent, but because, whether or not Ukraine wins or loses, it is going to be a sink-hole for money and resources for a long time to come: our Indian subcontinent.
So I don't see a way out other than a kind of Thermidor or counter reaction, and that is unappealing on its own grounds . It seems like the people who are able to make money will be able to keep climbing away from the mess, but that for most of us, it seems like a slowly filling swamp.
It is clear that there is no hand on the tiller, and when you look at what is acceptable for leadership, especially on the Democrat side, you don't see many better choices - and, oddly enough, a seeming fad for impairment as a requisite for leadership.”
There is no leadership. Zero competency and a sick complacency. Perhaps it’s fear of offending the New Bolsheviks or that it merely doesn’t really affect ‘them’ yet because they live in neighborhoods and towns, private schools and the like that are removed from the day to day reality most middle and lower class people face, but it’s reached a boiling point where it’s too obvious and painful to ignore. And the damage being done is cumulative and exponential at this point. There’s no putting the Covid genie back in the bottle, no undoing the border or the tens of trillions of debt we’ve saddled our children with. The only way forward is painful. But it’s either tolerable pain if we get smart, put our heads and hands together and remove these Totalitarian Kleptocrats, or Max Pain if it turns into a shooting gallery.
Durham Report
The big news of the week if you’re an American (or a ‘NothingBurger’ if you’re a kool aid drinking leftist who watches MSNBC) is the release of the Durham Report which confirms:
Hillary and the DNC created the infamous and untrue Steele Dossier from thin air.
The FBI relied on "raw and unverified" intelligence to open the investigation into Russian interference, even though there was no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
The FBI used the Steele dossier, a document that was funded by the Clinton campaign and contained numerous unverified allegations, as a basis for obtaining a warrant to surveil Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser.
The FBI made false statements to the FISA courts in order to obtain warrants to surveil Page and others. For example, the FBI represented to the FISA Court that Steele was a "reliable source" of information, when in fact they knew he was not.
The FBI's investigation into Russian interference was plagued by rampant bias and political interference. For example, FBI officials exchanged numerous text messages in which they expressed their dislike for Donald Trump and their desire to see him lose the election.
The Dossier was illegally used as the basis for the FISA wiretaps and the Russia Collusion Hoax to smear Trump the candidate and President elect.
Obama and his key aides were co-conspirators and fully aware of the plan by Hillary to investigate and smear Trump as a Russian agent and helped implement it.
This information is extremely damaging and without a doubt the grossest display of official corruption in American History. I tried watching the new HBO series ‘White House Plumbers’ and couldn’t get through the first episode because it felt so trivial and insignificant compared to what we’ve witnessed in the past few years. Even CNN admitted it was no bueno.
According to the Durham Report, in August 2016, President Obama's CIA Director John Brennan, then-Vice President Joe Biden, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and the notorious former Director of the FBI James Comey were briefed about a plan orchestrated by Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Their objective was to fabricate a false narrative connecting President Trump to Russia.
Despite being aware that the Steele dossier was full of falsehoods, the FBI still pushed forward with baseless accusations in the deceitful FISA warrant applications against Carter Page. Their intention was to undermine Trump and his associates deliberately. This was a purely political endeavor resembling tactics employed by banana republics, with the aim of altering the outcome of a presidential election and subsequent presidency.
Durham's handling of the situation has let down the American people, as there have been only a few unsuccessful prosecutions. Never before in American history has such extensive government corruption faced such minimal accountability. It is crucial to emphasize that the FBI, the Justice Department, and their political superiors in the Obama White House bear responsibility for the most egregious government corruption ever witnessed in America. President Trump is a victim of crime who was targeted by a seditious conspiracy involving Obama, Biden, Clinton, and their allies within the Deep State. Unless someone is held accountable for this and for the Covid atrocities, it’s unclear what kind of future our nation will have.
It’s no wonder the flag was flying upside down over the US Capitol was done *the morning after* the Durham report was released. We are a nation in distress. There’s still plenty of time to avoid bloodshed and collapse, but it doesn’t work unless the architects of Covid and this seditious coup are held accountable.
As Glenn Greenwald pointed out:
“Two weeks ago, we learned it was CIA itself -- not just 51 "former intelligence officials" -- which engineered the lie that the Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation."
This means we know for sure the US Security State directly manipulated two consecutive national elections.
There was indeed illegal and corrupt interference in the 2016 and 2020 elections.
But it didn't come from Trump/Russia collusion. It came from the US Security State.
And it's so telling that the self-anointed "defenders of democracy" cheer rather than condemn this despotism.”
Kari Lake & Abe Hamadeh Election Integrity Cases
Anyone concerned with election integrity should be paying attention to what’s happening in Arizona right now.
Seven months after the midterm elections in Arizona, there are still two races with legitimate challenges before courts that are being heard this month, with trials scheduled for GOP candidates for Governor Kari Lake and Attorney General Abe Hamadeh.
With regard to Lake’s case, the trial has begun and we heard 2 signature review witnesses testify that they were told they would have to review approx. 300,000 signatures, a process which would take 5 days minimum according to past efforts where 60,000 a day was pace and that suddenly, 36 hours later they were told to go home and that the review was finished. Physically, it’s impossible to review hat many signatures in the time period allotted.
The gist of the case is that Arizona violated the signature review statutes by reviewing and curing signatures in 1-2 seconds, not nearly enough time to actually do the job. This is just one of the many ‘inconsistencies’ we’ve seen in this election (and damn near every other).
Hamadeh’s case is even more interesting and begins this week as well.
His legal team has hundreds of affidavits from people who voted - but their vote wasn’t counted. He’s only 280 down in Katie Hobbs count. So far 9k votes have been found - and uncounted. Hamadeh won an average of 70% of votes cast by voters on Election Day, and Election Day votes were 2-to-1 Republican - an outrageous statistic on its own. Over 1.3 million ballots were cast by mail in, a method that produces far higher rates of fraud.
If our leaders prize integrity and want to salvage what little remaining faith half the population has in elections, they would implement a few simple rules that should have always been mandatory.
No mail in ballots whatsoever with the exception of armed forces serving overseas or physically handicapped people (with a doctor’s note required).
Mandatory Voter ID and proof of eligibility.
A method to confirm and verify your vote online after its been cast; and
A few other simple procedures to re-instill confidence in the system.
But you and I both know they don’t want that. After all, it’s a lot easier to win elections when you open the borders, allow illegals and the dead to vote, use black box software that can’t be properly secured or audited, and make mail in voting and ballot harvesting for pay the norm.
Elon - Our Century’s Patrick Henry
“Brave men didn't die face down in the Vietnam muck so I could not style on you.” -El-P Talk to Me, Run the Jewels
Whether he is a compromised deep state asset that will eventually implant mind control chips in our head and let us down remains to be seen, but for the time being, there is no greater force for the good guys and Constitutional Principles than this man.
His interview with CNBC’s David Faber (someone I used to respect but who has become just another regime propagandist) featured a poignant defense of free speech amongst other topics. Depending how the story ends (winners write the story), this clip from Elon belongs in the history ‘books’ alongside quotes from our Founding Fathers.
Here’s the relevant portion clip. 1:00-3:30 the most powerful part.
Gorsuch
Kudos to Justice Gorsuch for openly voicing what any sane person already understands. Covid destroyed the country. Not the virus, but the overreaction and ‘emergency powers’ we granted leaders who lacked the moral courage and competence to ‘lead’ a Boy Scout Troop much less cities, states and the federal govt.
Justice Neil Gorsuch: “Since March 2020, we may have experienced the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country… And rule by indefinite emergency edict risks leaving all of us with a shell of a democracy.”
Here’s a sample of his opinion in Arizona v. Mayorkas. I suggest reading the relevant parts of the opinion included in the Brownstone article below. #NeverAgain means something else entirely in my family these days.

Bud Light vs. HK
The Bud Light WTF? travesty continues to run its course cementing a large victory for conservatives against woke indoctrination and gaslighting. Sales for Bud Light continue to collapse across the country and parent InBev is trading more than 10% off it’s high with no respite in sight.
Bud Light even tried to recently release a ‘camo’ can trying to use the goodwill built up by our nation’s veteran to repair its fatally damaged brand. Such a transparent move was bound to fail as the only disguise this can offers is the camouflage that you’re drinking Trans Pisswater.
Remember, camouflage is used to protect and cover your identity, and we already know their true identity.
Regrettably, it’s going to take a lot more conviction and commitment to bring these woke corporations to heel. Whether it’s Ford’s embarrassing rainbow truck commercial or Miller Lite’s ‘sexy girls are sexist’ drivel, most of these ESG/WEF sycophants will continue to double down on their marketing strategy mocking conservatives and traditional families.
Premium gun manufacturer Heckler & Koch (HK) stumbled into the same cross hairs recently but was smart enough to quickly admit their mistake, apologize and make a clear statement to rectify their transgression. HK’s concise, straight to the point response is a case study for MBA’s on how to rectify an egregious corporate error and salvage a brand after being exposed to the Woke virus.
Or as Jesse Kelly described it: “This is how you respond when the liberal white woman you hired finally reveals herself. Well done and I will now go back to wanting an HK, but never actually spending that kind of money.”
Charmed Life of a Baby Boomer
This is a bit of a different angle. As much as I feel very little sympathy for the Millenials and GenZ out there who believe America is the Root of all Evil and constantly play the victim while embracing communism and woke, self-defeating politics, I believe it’s helpful for the other generations to understand the frustration many of them have with the Boomers. This is a mostly a false narrative (and your average Boomer is far less to blame than our government and financial leaders) even though many of them voted for Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and other architects of disaster.
Either way, Mark Harvey gives some good insight to what the world was like:
The Charmed Life of a Baby Boomer Named James:
James was born in 1946 during a time of peace, shortly after the most deadly war in history. He begins work in 1962 at age 16, he is paid the minimum wage of $1.15 ($11.55 in today's dollars).
The minimum wage is $7.25 today.
James gladly contributes a portion of his paycheck to the Social Security fund, which will surely be there to support him when he reaches retirement age in 2012.
At age 18, he decides that he wants to go to college. No problem! The average tuition for public school is only $243 per year ($2,334 in today's dollars). He can easily work a summer job and pay his way though school. No need to take a student loan!
The average annual cost of public school tuition is $10,423 today.
In 1965, a new scheme called Medicare is invented. Not only can James rely on Social Security to support his retirement, he can now also expect affordable healthcare in his old age. America rocks!
James finishes college, debt free in 1966. Time to settle down and buy a house! The median price of houses sold in 1966 is only $21,400($196K in today's dollars), which was 2.9X the median household income at the time. James has no problem buying a house at these prices relative to his household income.
The median cost of houses sold today is $437K today, which is 4.9X the median household income.
James is now in his prime working years. He is paying into his retirement through Social Security where he fully expects to get back the fruits of his labor when he retires in 2012. James is also very prudent financially. He invests a portion of his paycheck into the stock market each month.
In 1978, this new thing called a 401k was invented, and in 1998 the Roth IRA. These are great tools that allow James to significantly grow his retirement portfolio, which consists mostly of stocks.
Then in 2008 the game seemed like it was all over. A financial crisis hit. Stocks(James' retirement portfolio) crashed. The crisis happened only 4 years before James would reach retirement age of 66 in 2012. The timing could not be worse for a person like James. It seems that Social Security and Medicare were unsustainable, and caused the US to go into too much debt. Now there is nobody left to buy US bonds!
What does the Baby Boomer generation do to keep the party going? Enter Quantitative Easing(QE)!
From 2008 to 2022, a QE fueled stock rally saw James' retirement portfolio skyrocket 600%! "Wahoo!" said James as he entered into a comfortable retirement thanks to his monthly Social Security check, affordable healthcare, and a fat equities portfolio. To top it all off, the price of James' house appreciated 20X from when he bought it in 1966.
James entered retirement, leaving the country with a Debt/GDP ratio at 120%, and grandkids that can't afford to buy a house. James is adamant that the younger generation is terribly misguided with the whole #Bitcoin thing.
Be Encouraged
The series of developments ranging from Bud Light's public reprimand, Elon Musk's dedication to uphold free speech, the revelations from the Durham Report, as well as growing resistance to extreme trans ideologies (such as advocating for child mutilation, or the inclusion of biological men in women's sports), collectively suggest that we are beginning to witness a societal pivot. These indications, although significant, do not suffice. The momentum must be sustained. For the first time in roughly eight years, we are seeing a palpable shift in cultural undercurrents.
I may not be privy to the depth of analysis accessible to those in the realm of political statistics. Nevertheless, my personal observations, coupled with a reading of available journalistic material, suggest a discernible sociopolitical shift within our nation. This perception is fueled by the seemingly surprising defensive response in several liberal channels including to the critique of Daniel Penny in a New York Times op-ed's comment section. Similarly, the polarized perspective on the 'undocumented' immigrant issue is morphing, as evidenced in another NYT piece, where public opinion also appears evenly divided.
Also interesting is the protective sentiment echoed in The Nation's commentary section, defending the exclusion of biological males from women's sports - a stance that, until recently, would have seemed unthinkable among liberals.
Remember these are exalted, left wing rags with a reader base that is overwhelmingly liberal. If they’re at the 50/50 point, then when you add in the conservative’s who overwhelmingly also favor the side of right and reason, you’ve got the formula for a political & cultural win.
A compelling conclusion that one could draw from this observation is that individuals have been willing to accommodate societal decay as long as it does not affect their private lives. However, it appears we have reached a pivotal juncture where this luxury is no longer feasible.
My theory and perception is simple. Liberals and leftists have captured the power structure three decades ago and everything since then has been deliberately designed to undermine this country and consolidate wealth and power in the hands of an evil, elitist cabal. The surprise ascension of Donald Trump fast-forwarded them to fast-forward their diabolical plans. Liberals and centrists were cowed into going along with the plan out of fear of being labeled a racist/homophobe/xenophobe and ‘cancelled’.
The quintessential liberal or leftist, who can at times veer towards communism, has often adhered to an elementary dictum - imposing rules on others that they themselves do not abide by. This phenomenon has repeatedly manifested itself in issues ranging from climate change allegations to the COVID-19 pandemic response, wherein ordinary jobs, businesses, and public schools were shut down while private schools and laptop jobs flourished. We have now arrived at a critical juncture where liberals are beginning to face the repercussions of their voting choices and decisions. This is indeed where theory confronts practical reality.
From spiking crime, to immigration, Covid, and men playing women’s sports (it’s unfair for poor Becky to compete against Randy Macho Man Savage) and other notable occurrences, the chickens have come home to roost.
The truth is it’s the top 90-99% of the population that moves the needle and dictates the direction of society, both culturally and financially.
The top decile of the population wields a significant influence on the direction of the country. It is the 1% that actively shapes the narrative that largely governs societal norms. The narrative is especially persuasive to the 9% below them, which makes up the rest of this top decile, and their actions can truly incite change on a national scale.
Meanwhile, the majority of the population - the bottom half - are predominantly engaged in the struggle for survival. Their focus is less on shaping societal direction and more on their immediate needs. The next substantial group, the 40% between the 51st and 90th percentiles, are amenable to the prevalent narrative and often adjust their actions and beliefs accordingly. Twitter has changed this equation somewhat as decentralized distribution of information has enabled the 51-90 has lead the charge against Covid totalitarianism.
The top 9% of the population, unfortunately, tend to be heavily concentrated in politically liberal areas and are often particularly susceptible to prevailing societal narratives. However, when these narratives begin to adversely affect them on a personal level (poor Becky), a shift occurs.
For instance, if an issue starts to impact their children, such as the contentious debates surrounding transgender rights, pandemic response, or crime rates, their tolerance may reach a limit. It is at this point when they may begin to question and resist the narrative, creating a potential catalyst for change.
The current shift has occurred because of the following:
There appears to be a growing fatigue with the rampant use of labels, particularly the term 'racist.' The power of such labels seems to have been diminished due to their overuse and a broadening of definitions, often beyond reasonable bounds. This trend becomes particularly problematic when ideologies like Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), propagated by many left-leaning institutions, seem to embrace a kind of reverse discrimination as an intrinsic part of their philosophy.
The concept of reparations adds to this issue. The proposal that individuals who have never participated in slave-ownership should pay significant taxes to those who were never slaves themselves is viewed as ‘ethically problematic’ by many.
Rising crime rates, coupled with specific incidents like those involving Jordan Neely and Daniel Perry, are causing alarm among the populace. A growing number of people living in major cities have experienced threats or felt fear for their safety due to encounters with violent individuals or gangs. Witnessing certain political factions glorify such figures has contributed to a shift in public sentiment. This lionization of lowlifes is disturbing to many, leading to a long overdue adjustment of their sociopolitical perspectives.
I mean, when aliens excavate our cities and uncover the ornate tombs and golden burial caskets, they will assume Jordan Neely and George Floyd were pharaohs.
Nevertheless, these types of lowlife lionizing, and rejection of basic decency and science (men ARE women) is producing a shift in the pendulum back towards sanity. Unfortunately, as I mentioned in the opening essay, pendulums when they are one way never swing back to center - they tend to go far past it all the way to the other side. The overshoot will be explicitly fascist and painful. Hopefully not in a Purge/Hutu fashion, but I wouldn’t rule it out.
As Charlie Kirk notes:
“When the WSJ openly calls for freeing Daniel Penny, you're finally witnessing a real-time Righteous Radicalization of the Right. This headline doesn't get published 5 years ago.
What caused this? Maybe some of the following:
The Michael Brown "Hands up, don't shoot" lie
Mass media vilification of white people
The Russia hoax
Covid Tyranny — Lockdowns, Business Closures, Forced Vax
Surfers arrested because of "Covid"
Skate Parks filled with sand because of "Covid"
Criminals released from prison en masse because of "Covid"
Mass Mail-in ballots because of "Covid"
Zuckerboxes because of "Covid"
Relaxed signature verifications standards because of "Covid"
Government spending $ trillions sparking rampant inflation
"Fiery but mostly peaceful" Floydapalooza riots
The FBI colluding with Twitter
The FBI siccing agents on parents and pro-lifers
The political persecution of J6ers by the DOJ
Jane's Revenge firebombing pregnancy centers and churches
Being told the border is "secure"
Criminalizing memes
Taxpayer-backed child drag shows
The LGBTQ colonization of schools and media
An outright assault on parental rights
Government sanctioned kidnapping
Legalized infanticide
Mass social media censorship of conservatives
Indicting a former president with a "novel" legal theory.
Evacuating Afghanistan in disgrace.
A massive crime wave fueled by Democrat policies.
That's just off the top of my head. There's 100 more insane stories from the last few years.
What "radicalized" you?”
Drop me a note in the comments.
The Dublin Declaration
Another sign that the tide is shifting is the overt support for meat. For the last several years, the ESG goons and Greta Goblins have done everything in their power to convince the populace that meateaters bear a large responsibility for climate change and increased Co2 emissions and that they should be rationed or punished for daring to do what 3 million years of evolution has programmed our bodies to do. They allied with vegans and others to make meat, carbon and climate all interlinked and therefore subject to ban. It was a topic that not many scientists pushed back on just as they were cowed to support climate change or the MRNA iatrocide.
I am heartened by the emergence of The Dublin Declaration. Its sentiments hark back to the admirable stance taken in the Great Barrington Declaration, a document scribed by a group of valiant scientists and medical professionals in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. They voiced their concerns about the government and public health authorities' advocacy of unverified protocols. These bodies were ardently endorsing unprecedented and unverified measures that contravened a century's worth of established scientific principles, seeking to enforce a population-wide lockdown. The audacious call of these medical professionals is a reminder of the need for critical thinking, especially in times of crisis.
This month, a group of over 1,000 scientists from around the world came together to co-sign The Dublin Declaration, which is a statement that emphasizes the health benefits of consuming meat and dairy products.
As part of this declaration, the group published nine peer-reviewed papers in the scientific journal Animal Frontiers. These papers present new evidence regarding the nutritional advantages of pork, chicken, and beef, and they reaffirm the idea that a well-balanced diet including regular consumption of meat, dairy, and eggs is advantageous for human health, supported by the highest standard of epidemiological evidence.
The papers delve into the benefits of these animal-based foods, highlighting their nutrient density in comparison to plant-based alternatives. They also highlight the advantages of low-cost, high-protein foods provided by livestock.
For instance, the scientists point out that although meat represents less than 10% of the global food mass and energy, it supplies the majority of essential nutrients such as B12, omega-3 fatty acids, and other minerals that are challenging to replicate in supplemental form.
Additionally, one of the papers highlights a growing body of evidence demonstrating a direct correlation between diets low in animal-based foods and various ailments like anemia and other nutrient deficiencies.
Furthermore, the scientists address claims made by certain researchers who argue that plant-based diets are universally healthier or the healthiest option for everyone. The declaration emphasizes that while individuals with ample resources may be able to achieve adequate diets while significantly limiting meat, dairy, and eggs, this approach should not be recommended for the general population.
The researchers also point out several studies indicating the challenges faced by the average person in obtaining all the necessary nutrients through plant-based diets alone. They particularly emphasize the risks associated with such diets for children, the elderly, and women of child-bearing age.
Moreover, studies have shown that among low-income populations globally, children who have limited access to animal protein are more likely to experience stunted growth and wasting.
But none of this matters if you watch MSM media. Remember, it’s a pandemic of the unvaccinated…errr I mean meateaters.
Here’s the actual Dublin Declaration if you’d like to read it.
Lightning Round
In the grand tapestry of American politics, Los Angeles stands out as an oasis of fervent and deranged leftism. Yet, it appears the city's beloved Dodgers have managed to traverse a bridge deemed too far even for their bathsit crazy leftist residents.
The team was forced to walk back an invitation to the Blasphemous Nuns, a trans group who dress up queer nuns in creepy clown makeup to mock the Church and normies.

30 tons of explosive ammonium nitrate “went missing” from a train in California. How in carnation does 30 tons of a high grade explosive just ‘disappear’?
Stay vigilant for the next possible false flag terrorist event…this illegitimate government is trying way too hard these days to start an all-out war with Russia and domestic ‘extremists’ (you know, those people who believe in having a say in their child’s education).
It’s worth a review of the last 20 years and the ‘War on Terror’ in the Mideast as the Regime mouthpieces in the media and elsewhere continue to pour the ‘Zelensky as Churchill’ propaganda on hot and heavy.
A brief retrospective yields the following:
Eight trillion dollars spent
Iraq is now trading in yuan
Assad won the Syrian civil war
Afghanistan controlled by Taliban
Saudi and Iran aligned against the US
And millions dead and displaced.
America’s Middle East policy and posture are in shambles. Twenty years of almost total loss on virtually every front — from Iraq to Libya to Syria and much else in between. The catalogue of failure is long. And yet many of the ppl who ran us into a ditch remain at the helm in DC and keep banging the drum for more carnage and geopolitical instability with the potential for a two front war against nuclear superpowers Russia & China.
The Ukraine war has now been ongoing for over a year and we continue to pour $120B+ and counting into a money laundering blackhole. We’re told daily that ‘Ukraine is winning’, that Russia has badly miscalculated and that a Spring Offensive is right around the corner.
The reality is Russia continues to dominate, having just conquered Bakhmut despite assurances to the contrary and the body count of Ukrainian citizens continues to pile up in a ratio of approximately 8-1 Russian losses. Over 300,000 Ukrainian and counting have been killed to satiate the Biden Regime’s bloodlust and proxy war against Russia while his puppet Zelensky is only too eager to keep using his people as cannon fodder for a war they cannot win and could have easily avoided in the first place.
The time seems right to retire the corrupt dwarf. It seems like I’m not the only one growing weary of the coke sniffing money-washer doing his World Handouts Tour. Saying he’s out of money and weapons (how? What happened to the $120B in weapons we’ve sent you?). As he and NATO push us closer and closer to World War 3 for a regional conflict that Trump would have settled in 24 hours never allowed to happen, it’s time to join the Chinese who have been leading peace efforts (I can’t believe world confidence in the Biden Regime has sunk so low that the majority of the world is in favor of Chinese leadership on this issue).
DeSantis Signs Bill Outlawing ‘Mutilation’ Of Minors Through Transgender Surgeries.
Kudos to the Governor. Child abuse is child abuse. Whether you call it ‘gender affirming’ or child mutilation. Que the loud protests from the very people that whined about "children in cages", advocate porn in schools, and believe teachers have more rights than parents, are suddenly worried about the government protecting children from harm.
Steve Kirsch throws down the gauntlet on vaccines. I knew the fraud around the MRNA Covid vaccine would eventually lead people to start actually investigating the dozens of vaccines we jab kids with and realize the science behind them is fraudulent as well. After all, that’s why Big Pharma needs immunity from their devastating injuries. Because if they had to bear the monetary damages for their defective products like every other manufacturer in the country, they’d be out of business long ago.
Here’s Steve’s challenge and subsequent article:
The CDC has been lying to people for more than 20 years now, making the FALSE claim that vaccines do not cause autism. They are lying.
The exact opposite is true.
Nearly all autism in America can be stopped if we stop all vaccines.
It has a side benefit too: our kids will be healthier overall. Large, highly respected, medical practices which eschew all vaccination do not have any autistic kids, even when they are located in areas with exploding autism rates (other than new transfers into the practice).
I challenge any generally recognized autism or vaccine expert or epidemiologist in the United States to debate on this topic.
It's time that America learns the truth. Over 10% of American households have an autistic child today. That's unbelievable. We have to stop this now.
If no expert will debate me live, it tells you everything you need to know.
The reason they should do that is I will soon be publishing an article that will convince any person with an open mind that I'm right because they can verify nearly it all themselves; you don't have to take my word on any of it.”
Don’t Feel Sorry for Your Kids and Grandkids
The following is a post I saw from Justin Shelly. The passage is by Alex Cravens. There’s enough rough news above. Let’s end the week on a high note. The Most High.
Don’t feel sorry for or fear for your kids/grandkids because the world they are going to grow up in is not what it used to be.
God created them and called them for the exact moment in time that they’re in. Their life wasn’t a coincidence or an accident.
Raise them up to know the power they walk in as children of God.
Train them up in the authority of His Word.
Teach them to walk in faith knowing that God is in control.
Empower them to know they can change the world.
Don’t teach them to be fearful and disheartened by the state of the world but hopeful that they can do something about it.
Every person in all of history has been placed in the time that they were in because of God’s sovereign plan.
He knew Daniel could handle the lions den. 
He knew David could handle Goliath.
He knew Esther could handle Haman.
He knew Peter could handle persecution.
He knows that your child can handle whatever challenge they face in their life. He created them specifically for it!
Don’t be scared for your children, but be honored that God chose YOU to parent the generation that is facing the biggest challenges of our lifetime.
Rise up to the challenge.
Raise Daniels, Davids, Esthers and Peters!
God isn’t scratching His head wondering what He’s going to do with this mess of a world.
He has an army He’s raising up to drive back the darkness and make Him known all over the earth.
Don’t let your fear steal the greatness God placed in them. I know it’s hard to imagine them as anything besides our sweet little babies, and we just want to protect them from anything that could ever be hard on them, but they were born for such a time as this.

What I’m Reading and Watching….
Butlerian Jihad. Well, since the topic on a lot of our minds is when the machines will take over from humanity, figured I’d go to the source of some of the best futurecasting out there - Science Fiction and Fantasy Novels. This one is by Frank Herbert’s son. The series chronicles the fictional Butlerian Jihad, a crusade by the last free humans in the universe against the thinking machines, a violent and dominating force led by a sentient computer. Might hit a little too close to home, but then again, we might pick up some tips for how to defeat our cyber overlords.
The Party Is Cancelled: Inside a monthly New York City hangout, where fired university professors and controversial Tik Tokers get together to have discussions they feel they can’t have anywhere else.

Homophobia in Drag. An interesting essay by a gay man on the current trans movement.
Next Joint Chiefs Chairman Wants White Male Officers To Be A Minority. Amazing people can openly voice this type of sentiment and keep their job.
Someone named Krystal from the Breaking Points show ‘debates’ RFK Jr. on vaccines. And by debate I mean, essentially tells him “You’re not going to convince me with all these facts and studies bc the talking head on TV told me it works and my friends would excommunicate me if I disagreed.”
Beautiful scene from The Chosen depicting King David hearing Psalm 77 for the first time. Such a different era.
If you haven’t watched The Chosen yet, I highly recommend it. The studio behind it, Angel Studios is now producing a movie that looks incredible called, Sounds of Freedom. It’s based on the ___ book and stars Jim Caviezel. If you want to be a part of it, here’s the Crowdfund link and a bit more info.

Parting Words…
A poem by Balaji Srinivasan:
MAXIMALLY PATIENT
For decades, libertarians tried sweet reason.
Rothbard, Hayek, Mises.
Milton Friedman and Ron Paul.
End the Fed, they said.
Road to Serfdom, they said.
But it all fell on deaf ears.
Even as the printer brrred.
Because the practicalities weren't there.
Why would central banks give up their money?
Why would giant states give up their power?
Ironically, libertarians got beat by money and guns!
No incentives better than a central bank's money.
No security better than a giant state's guns.
Then came Satoshi, and Bitcoin.
Which turned all that theory into practice.
It solved the incentive problem...
better than a central bank' money.
And it solved the security problem...
better than a giant state's guns.
Now you didn't have to fight the Fed.
You could just opt out.
And every money printer minted a Bitcoiner.
Thank ye, Bernanke!
Quantitative easing eased adoption.
Adoption of a decentralized currency...
to opt out of their failed state.
To vote against a monetary policy...
that they could vote against no other way.
So, let's not rewrite history.
Libertarians tried working within the system.
But they saw, sooner than others, that it failed.
So when you see it fail...
Don't blame the lifeboat.
Blame the captain, blame the Fed, blame the state.
And then thank Satoshi.
For giving us Bitcoin.
The electronic exit from filthy fiat.
A decentralized currency, if we can keep it.
Simplicity and Clarity! Everything else is fake! Our world is getting clearer - the TRUTH is finally coming though the fog! "Revelation" time is coming.
Great piece by Yuri Bezmenov who opines that until someone accepts that a global predator class exists and basically wants us out of their way, no amount of logic , explanation or even proof can sway them.
He uses the example of WTC building 7 as an example. This building came down by itself and yet it isn’t enough to override their belief in the goodness of our leaders.
