All those de-institutionalized patients who lived disordered lives on a daily basis were loose on the streets. It was as a wave of humans suddenly released into society from the relative safety of the hospital settings. There was no preparation, and to a great extent they were ignored. When they encountered situations they could not manage, some of them tried the behaviors which would gain re-admittance to the institutions which provided a semblance of order to their lives. Except the institutions were shuttered tight, left as abandoned facades on lots becoming overgrown with weeds. The patients were left abandoned on city streets. Ill-prepared, possibly not capable of functioning in 'the outside world', the classes of 'street-people' and 'homeless' were thus effectuated.
I remember it well. It started on the west coast in 1969. And now, the leader who insists on housing and helping to care for the “street people” will be the hero of this century. This needs to be a first step back. Consider how much money has been spent on the homeless to no avail. I would venture that the cost has been much greater than if we housed and cared for these needy individuals. It was the west coast of N America where they also decided to provide drugs to the destitute, making a bad situation increasingly worse.
Another “gift” from the West Coast: “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, which was a wake up call about the conditions in the “State Hospitals for the Insane”. The public outcry gave political cover for the elimination of this line item with no real plan for a substitute. They threw out the baby with the bathwater and we are all living with the disordered consequences.
Ironically, or not, one of the worst places for homelessness on the West Coast is in Portland Oregon about 40 miles north of the State Hospital in the film.
Come to Portland if you want to see an open-air mental hospital and junkies everywhere.
And yet the evidence of any success with this type of effort (including the worthless Portland Street Response) is lacking.
Junkies and the mentally ill abound along with all the crap they generate. Everyone knows the spots and so do the police. Just on Wednesday I saw a open air drug sale (a "latino" man surrounded by 8-10 people in a circle) as my bus waited for the light.
I don't know where you live but if it's here then you wouldn't even suggest the police are, or can, do anything about this mess. Multnomah county is the problem and the marxist "housing first" chair. This place is truly a f*cking mess.
I understand. And yet there will be a hero, the one who reverts this awful policy of deinstitutionalization. It must happen and it will make us the real and true “hottest country in the world”. Right now we really are the “hottest” - as in Hell.
I have found it incredibly disheartening how we currently treat the mentally deranged. There is no consistency. If a person takes a razor blade and starts slicing up their arms and legs they are determined to be mentally ill and need help and help is provided to them. If a person hires a doctor to cut off his penis or her breasts with a knife their actions are celebrated and honored, they are patted on the back, congratulated, and encouraged to do more to continue the self mutilation. I'm a 51 year old white, Christian, heterosexual male and I am confused as hell by what I see and observe in this ruined nation. I can only imagine what is going on, or what is not going on, in the minds of the poor young people who are learning about life in this madness.
Then we have Charlie Kirk, a wholesome young man who, for reasons known only to him, purposefully puts himself right in the middle of it all as he attempts to try and help these poor confused young souls sort out the madness by teaching them how to ask questions and think for themselves. So they kill him, right here in the middle of my home state of Utah, a State with the most benign population of government lovers in the nation. Why else would the NSA build its biggest digital spy collections warehouse here in the small town of Bluffdale.
I fear that if the mental hospitals returned we could not build enough of them to house all of the sick and deranged of our population. Just go to a local Subway and watch the facial pierced tatted up obvious total loser young woman make your sandwich and you'll see what I mean. These poor saps are all over the place now.
Thank you, JHK for yet another article of true common sense and raw truth. It's people like you who stand stories above the madness and who help the rest of us sort it out.
What is missing is the why and who. Who are the central controlling figures that are leading the destruction of America. Why do they want the country to be destroyed? I can understand the role of multi-cultural movements to split the country into smaller units, favoring each one of them, but who are the people who are funding these folks and managing them to lead the charge against the Constitution?
Who? I am afraid that the culprits are foreign borne. Remember King of the Mountain? Are the folks that want to displace the USA are gathering their forces world-wide (think BRICS+ as an example) is a drive to displace us as number one. As warfare, shown by the debacles in Israel and Ukraine, is not effective any more as escalation to genocide is impossible without nukes and MAD, something else must be used. We are witnessing it in the USA right now. Infiltration to the extent of invasion, is the means. Sending enough contre-corps into a country dedicated to the vote and freedom eventually will undo the culture and identity of the country. Then slowly but surely, the country self-immolates itself onto the garbage pile of history.
Hmmm, if you accept this explanation, how should the American Judases be thought of that have actively admitted the infiltrators over the years? Traitors? Did they aid or abet the enemy during a time of war? Yes! Did they actively assist in trying to tear down the Constitution? Yes! The Democrat party is a group of traitors to our country selling us out to the global powers trying to knock the King off the mountain.
Aha, we have IDed the culprits, what to do about it? This absolute inane group has convinced America that they carry the rightness of America, its Democracy. Almost 50% of this country are voting for traitors to the Constitution. How did they do it? Discussed over and over, they co-ordinated with all the Foreigners to do two things, infiltrate our country with socialists, dependent poverty class people, and they infiltrated our education system with the same type of foreigners. Look at the legions of educators and even MDs that are foreign born, imported from somewhere else. So we end up training our young that America is evil, we import people whose goal is to take over America to their culture. The last thought of any of them is assimilation and maintenance of a common American culture.
We need solutions!!! Here goes. Education? First, all education will be taught in English. Immigrant kids will do a year of ESL, American history and civics before admission into the mainstream. Evening indoctrination of adults with ESL to be done. A citizen requirement that the apply for citizenship within three years and pass the citizenship test in English. Pass a federal law that any education institution will teach American history and civics in every primary and secondary school accurately to every student. No federal funding without. PTOs to be setup at every school and enemy teachers to be fired.
The other, immigration is easy. Build the wall, and enforce the already existent laws to allow in a controlled amount of people as needed by the country. This has already started and will happily increase over the next few years. Then make the primary goal of the legally imported immigrants to become English speaking good citizens in three years. Stop the Dem party from using immigrants as phony voters. Stop the increase in homelessness by either immigrants or displaced Americans.
If solutions were implemented, these or others, the Dem party would be doomed. They depend on the manipulation of an ignorant or privileged electorate to compete. An educated, literate, informed public would realize what these people are up to and reject them totally. Can the USA get its oomph back? I hope so.
Look: The more gays and trans, the fewer people get born. This is what the Globalists want - since they CORRECTLY see the world as over-populated. Good ol' Larry Fink was saying that 3rd World immigration might not be necessary even in a sterile society once AI and sufficient automation is in place.
Get it? It was a stage. It was necessary to break the White Christian state with mass immigration to get here. But now that we're there or almost, now the true agenda can shine forth.
The only problem is, it isn't the White Christian nations doing the overpopulating. We have overfed the stray cats, and now they're taking over the house.
It must be said that somebody has not only opened the doors, they've blown holes in the walls, and are out there herding cats our way. And they're doing that so we'll keep feeding them more and more of the cat food budget!
That's the consistent pattern behind all the Blessings we have received - first, create a huge problem with some "reform", and then get filthy rich "addressing" it!
Mamdani stated yesterday that NYC needed to acquire the
“Means of production”. IOW, Marxist communism, not democracy, not fascism, rotten communism. The mayor of Dearborn Michigan , a Muslim, tried to throw a Christian out of a town meeting for objecting to two roads being named after a notorious local Muslim. The mayor told him to get out of Dearborn as he was no longer wanted there, that he was Islamophobic. FYI, the Dearborn area has the highest concentration of Muslims in the country.
Quiet, do you hear it. They are getting closer and closer. The Deep State is unlocking the gates.
These people are also working in Target and Petco and I can’t even tell what gender they are, kinda like “Pat” from SNL days but soooo much worse, hurts my heart :(
"Just go to a local Subway ..." in major cities with underground tunnels (subways) for mass transportation systems, there is a whole culture, society, 'civilization', or what else one might choose to name it, living in those tunnels. Sometimes it spills over to adjacent vacant areas which are out-of-view of the general public. The inhabitants emerge as necessary to acquire the 'things' they need to maintain the subterranean existence. Since they mostly keep to themselves they go unnoticed.
You sound like you are talking about CHUDs. Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. It was a movie made back in the 70s or 80s and it was based on the very premise you describe. Though, they ate toxic sludge and became man eating monsters with glowing eyes and expandible necks.
Haha! In the 80s, some of my buds were working on a water line, had it all trenched out. Some kids came up and asked them what they doing - my friend looked at them with his best poker face and said, "You guys, stay back...we're lookin' for CHUD..." and those kids took off running!
The movie was hilariously cheesy and creepy. I saw it as a child, probably 12 or so and it has stayed with me. Always be on the look out for CHUDs or they'll get you when you least expect!
Don't really know anything about the movie. Now I'll need to look it up.
The above ground street populations have taken over areas of the larger cities. They get most of the coverage, possibly due to visibility. They put a strain on public resources and the people who provide the resources.
Lack of actual support for maintaining civil order has created a situation in the larger cities where people take employment opportunities, gain experience, then exit for quieter and/or more appreciative locations. The experience is a valuable item, making them a high-value hire.
DeSantis, for one, figured this out, offering sign-on bonuses and other perks to attract experienced people of merit to Florida.
He forgets about 435 absolute idiots that inhabit the other side of the Capitol. Every time I see the flags flying over the wings, I wonder what they are going to do to us today?
They have no desire to do that because it would "oppress" the mentally ill, plus returning them to mental hospitals would deprive them of their argument that Reagan caused the problem by emptying the hospitals. Problem is, the crazies were freed before Reagan entered the White House, and states closed their hospitals because they needed to spend the money elsewhere (likely some largesse to keep people voting for Democrats).
Years ago, when I worked in downtown Minneapolis, everybody spent their hour-long lunchbreak in the skyways. They tended to be pretty packed, and in a wide pass-through along the police station lurked what was probably an untreated schizophrenic. He passed through the crowd like a rogue wave, a full head taller than anybody else. Shaggy and bearded, ragged and dirty and smelly, he paid no attention to a single soul, for which all were grateful. He was too busy waving his arms around as he engaged in a loud, vicious, profanity-laced argument with himself. The spectacle always scared me. If something had set him off, with his great size, he'd have torn up that crowd like so many sheets of paper. The poor man needed to be hospitalized and stablized, but he never was.
I stepped out of my path onto the street and saw an gigantic Black man, six foot five or so and well over 300 pounds coming my way on the street, raving about everything. When he saw me, he said, "He's CIA and I'm CIA too. I relaxed: We were on the same team!
The failed 'community mental health' meme (that radically opposes inpatient psychiatric care) is so engrained in the training of mental health 'professionals' that I doubt we will see mental hospitals built en mass again in most of our lifetimes. Also, the US is bankrupt, financially, as well as morally and politically; what group has the will and the funds to start re-building the much needed mental hospitals? Bill Gates? :)
Sure would work out to be cheaper for the taxpayer...of which there are less and less. Everyone's on some form of welfare now - handouts from the gov't which would appreciate our vote for their kindness. They killed off the generation that actually generated wealth.
"but who-or-whatever actually directs this action remains an abiding mystery of our time."
There is a growing consensus among observers that this is not a mystery at all. There were people and organizations behind the Robinson boy, influencing him, encouraging him. There is a group called "transtifa", Antifa, that is funded by the Soros's. The markings on the shell casings refer to that group.
And over and above that is the global Luciferian cult, that seeks to destroy the family, children, and society. They hate god-fearing family men like Charlie Kirk. They revel with glee in the death of good men. This is the war we find ourselves in.
The war between good and evil has never been more stark. The battle lines have been drawn. Fence sitters are increasingly losing their balance. I know which side I am on. I am armed to the teeth but I am a dude who just wants to be left alone. It's a Gen X thing that other generations don't understand. But when the time comes and the need arises I'll be ready to go out and drag these mother truckers from their comfy condos and give them a good learning. The time is rapidly coming where good men need to correct what ails society. It will be ugly. It will be gross. It will be horrific. I don't know when that time comes but it is coming. What happened to Mr. Kirk haunts me. I couldn't sleep the night it happened. He was trying to fight the fight and he was slaughtered because of it. A true hero. A true hero worthy of being remembered. Still, no riots. No unrest. Nothing. Had that been Al Sharpton our cities would be looted and burning.
I don't know what it will take to get the good men of the nation to finally rise up and cleanse the nation of its filth and refuse.
I can’t wrap my head around conservatives who still believe we can fix the nation without the “ugly” part of the solution. For chrissakes people, just LOOK at the perfect storm the left has conjured up. They control our schools, MSM, social media, bought off our corrupt politicians, have foreign enemy benefactors and brought in 30+ million illegals who will teach their anchor babies to vote democrat. You know, a VOTER PROOF majority coming to you in another 10-20 years time.
And yet…people still think that evangelizing like Charlie Kirk did…all by itself…is enough to turn it all around. He DID do great things peacefully, in the model of Jesus…but our problem right now is of this Earth. Somebody (Reagan, maybe) said we can vote our way into communism, but will have to fight our way out of it.
So very well said and exactly correct. If this mess is to be fixed it will be by those men who just want to be left alone, having had enough, who will rise up and crush it. It will be horrific. There is no other way. The fact that nobody rioted over what they did the Charlie Kirk tells me they aren't ready yet. Things just don't warrant it yet. We still have it way too good.
I think it will only happen when those men can no longer feed themselves or their families. Hunger is a unique motivator. Until then a few meaningless rallies and some social media post will have to suffice. 🤷♂️
Correct! These revolts only ever happen when men have nothing left to lose. Ironically, if not carefully run, the very impoverishment of the People by the sociopathic oligarchies, will lead to this very revolt!
This is close to the thoughts you expressed. I hope to be a light in the world, and bring the Gospel message to the lost. I'm not especially afraid or worried about being killed myself, but for those that want to harm those I care about:
“The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over.
The moment the men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the men who just wanted to be left alone.”
They will be called terrorists - or do you support Luigi Mangione? He decided that guy deserved to die and he went ahead and did it. That's what you're talking about, right?
Any "mother truckers" in their comfy condos, that you can access, are several layers removed from the evil people you wish you could "give a good learning". These "Masters of the Universe" are not dumb. They know they would be dealt with harshly if they were vulnerable. Hence, they have made themselves quite safe behind their own "Praetorian Guard" of sorts.
We have one, just still not strong enough to correct the course. Call it what you want, we may need tough love in the country to fix the globalist pollution.
We don't need a leader. We have hundreds, if not thousands of "leaders" in our midst. They are all self serving and corrupted. Lovers of themselves and lovers of power and money.
What we need is someone to unify us. To bring us together and unite the people into one mind and one mission. Mr. Trump is doing the best he can given the limited authority of the Presidency. However, he is not a uniter. The people are too divided.
Lincoln was a “unifier”? He saved the Union and was later almost deified for it. It cost hundreds of thousands of lives to do it.
I draw analogies to 1860 a lot as I believe we are at the same sort of crossroads today. The Fourth Turning states crises every 80 to 100 years. Well, 1860>1940 = 80 years and 1945>2025 =80 years. Are we due for what we are seeing? Is Trump strong enough to keep it together? He is definitely not the type to keep it together diplomatically.
I didn't say Lincoln was a unifier and I certainly don't believe he was, JohnAZ. Lincoln didn't "save" anything. He overthrew the Constitution of 1788 and turned the nation from a "union" of unique and sovereign states to a large Federal leviathan with small administrative districts. True, he kept the states together but he was no unifier. He was a tyrant who used all filthy and evil means available to him to coerce and force the southern states back under control of the Federal government, he unleashed Satanic generals on innocent women and children in the south, he suspended all Constitutional rights and he caused the war in the first place with passage of the Morril Tarriff. Lincoln was horrible and probably the worst and most damaging President this Country has ever experienced. Lincoln paved the way for Woodrow Wilson, FDR and LBJ.
Add on to the fact that today we fight resource depletion, overpopulation, climate change, and the Dark revolution worldwide. Will anyone be strong enough to hold it together?
I am watching the skies for an answer, namely A1 Atlas? Are there any answers coming?
Indeed Cankerpuss, well said. The lack of meaningful righteous anger and direct action has puzzled me ever since all the covid absurdities were inflicted upon us. I look to Nepal with admiration and simultaneous disappointment that not even one of the 5-eyes nations can muster the same courage to eject their feckless and corrupted so-called leaders. (As the US should have done some time ago).
Well said Geezermann. Tyler Robinson was not even a student at Utah Valley State. News media said he drove hundreds of miles from "somewhere", and now is not cooperating with police. How strange that elements of the Kirk shooting are almost identical to the Catholic school shooting in Minneapolis on Aug. 27th. Who is pulling the strings and directing these shootings?
We were told by Jesus, through John, that what we are witnessing was going to happen. Man is inherently evil and evil will progress until God, Jesus, takes control and finally wipes out evil, meaning us, or at least the vast majority of us.
Je suis Charlie? Can you imagine calling yourself "Charlie" or being friends with anyone who did?
It's a sloppy "feel good" name. Charlie was fine with Gays, just as other feel good mainstream conservatives are, say like Tucker Carlson. He was even fine with trannies, appearing with Lady MAGA. He was "against" multi-genderism, famously saying: There are two genders. Choose.
He thought you could choose your gender. This is very far from real Christian Conservatism, is it not?
Of course Charlie was a dyed in the wool Zionist. Of course he was! That's why he's a hero.....
Yes, I read that there may have been foreign government involvement. One of his neighbors said there were out of town visitors to his apartment in recent days.
Ben's link was really, really good, in regards to the hired professionals who specialize in such operations. As to the string-pullers, Charlie was starting to ask hard questions, and could have taken the college students with him if he had turned, since they are already so inclined - but far worse, he would've taken half the evangelicals with him as well, and that possibility could not be allowed to happen.
I believe Michael Yon was spot on in an interview I watched on Coffee and a Mike (Rumble show with Mike Farris). He said that we are in a war. And that it is not recent. It has a long history. Today we see it globally. This is because the Powers That Be behind this war are global in their extent. They use different means and methods in different settings. But basically it is always "divide and conquer". And that is done with their clever, smart propaganda.
I'm sure it did occur to them, however, they were too busy spending our monies elsewhere. It also suited their agenda to have yet another failed group that they could blame on conservatives.
The left has always used the losers, misfits and weirdos of society as a tool to dismantle the established order, believing that, by this means, they would ascend to the top of the rubble and "rebuild", or as was recently popular among the leftists who briefly purloined the American Presidency, "build back better." Of course, their fever dream of a new and perfected society constructed on the ruins of the old order was never more than that: a dream. Or more correctly defined, a nightmare. One can no more realistically build a better society on the ruins of the old than one can build a better wristwatch from the smashed and twisted remains of the old one. Sprockets missing teeth, springs wrenched into twisted and useless strands of metal, gears stripped smooth are not the ingredients of a functioning timepiece. It is what happens when idiot children are given free reign to govern themselves without adult supervision and guidance; when human nature is given the opportunity to express itself in all its most debased and degenerate incarnations. When God is removed from the equation, satan has the field all to himself. If one can look upon our society in its current manifestation and not see satan at work, one is blind. It can only be hoped that the remaining adults can and do reassert themselves and put the disobedient children back in their proper place. Whether that place is the prison, lunatic asylum or the grave does not really matter; it is simply that the re-ordering of society take place. Failing this, our doom is sealed.
"Of course, their fever dream of a new and perfected society constructed on the ruins of the old order was never more than that: a dream."
I don't think they ever intended to rebuild anything. They only intended to destroy Christendom / Western Society and live in the void. Less of us. More for them.
Revelation says that the evil is going to get much worse as the Evil spreads and the antagonists just blame God for their discord instead of themselves. I do not think this will end until God intercedes.
I have an inherent dislike of John's Revelation-vision. Because I have an inherent dislike for prophecy, esp. one that relies upon more than 2,000 years to be validated.
Jesus told John that the timeline for the EndTimes was only known to the Father. So 2000 years may be only a start. I do note that Man is facing problems like never before with limitations on necessary commodities becoming more severe causing more discord. Also, the End Times of Revelation lead to a re-birth of a New Jerusalem, not extinction, but the deliverance of Earth from evil. Even after the rebirth, surveillance will continue to crush evil.
Prophecy is clear: We will lose this battle. That doesn't mean we don't fight of course.
The Antichrist, an ethnic Jew, will have two seats: The rebuilt Temple and the Vatican. He will betray Israel in their hour of Triumph (the only nation left standing) in favor of Globalism. Their long awaited Messiah will hate them just like the rest of the world and just as He will hate everyone else.
This is their world and we're using it up. They had to do something! Gays have few kids, trannies have even fewer. Of course they were going to go in that direction.
I wonder: is this the End? (if there is such a thing as the End)
Every religion has a tradition of "miracles" in its belief system. Christianity is just the latest one. All of these religions are essentially strange because they believe in an intrusion of the Divine into the Natural World. It's actually known as the supernatural.
I wish there are such things coming from "God", but I doubt it.
It seems that "God" has set up his/her world and is letting it play itself out. I guess I'm a Deist like Jefferson, et al.
We need asylums but their standards must be rigorous. In the former USSR, the asylums were filled with dissidents. Anytime laws are created, imagine what a fourth term Obama could do with them. Then build in safeguards.
Cankerpuss, Did you see the video of the girl who was asking Trump to restore the Smith-Mundt Act against propaganda and call it the Charlie Kirk Act? I believe Trump posted it? She had red dyed hair and a bolt through her tongue (most distracting but I listened to her words anyway). So maybe the tide is turning even amongst the "throughly-pierced).
Within constitutional limits, individuals should be committed based on recommendations from family members, close associates, and mental health professionals, with courts hearing appeals. This currently happens on a limited basis with individuals who are considered "a danger to themselves."
This approach should be "mainstreamed." I wonder if Tyler Robinson's family, roommate, etc. would have sought such an option had it been readily available.
In any case, you are 100% correct about the potential for abuse.
Many of these people are similarly-deranged and if you give them that power, they'd throw people like us, people with traditional values, in mental institutions.
My knee-jerk reaction is that a properly functioning court system would mitigate those types of abuses. But that would require a properly functioning court system.....
Acknowledging again the potential for abuse, it should be assumed that gender dysphoria is a mental health condition. Here's a link to a Spring 2025 report on pediatric gender dysphoria from DHHS:
Good comment, Skenny. I don't know how it's going nowadays, but back in the '80s I worked at a small, community-based, 12-bed inpatient mental health unit. It served mainly the chronically mentally ill population of my state's capitol city and helped to keep many of them from losing their housing in the community--most of them lived in group homes--and kept them out of the mental ward of the hospital. Sometimes the patients did progress to needing hospitalization, and sometimes they recovered from their acute episode and were able to return to their housing. This kept some of the load off the hospital ER, where they'd have gone absent our little unit, and saved the system some money from not having as many folks cycling endlessly through the mental ward. Our staff on the whole did not possess advanced degrees because they are not needed for the level of intervention we did. We did train staff well, imo, and asked for at least a year's commitment to the job. Many of us were there a long time so were mentors to new staff. We had a nurse on every shift to cover medical issues and to dispense medications, and access to professionals who could assess for hospital 24/7. (Occasionally a non-chronically mentally ill person would be admitted, usually needing a new life and all the services that go with it--such folks generally discharged themselves after one day or night on the unit and seeing what the other patients were like.)
There's a lot I could write about my experience and observations from that job but I'll keep it short. I think this kind of setup could be replicated wherever there is a population of chronically mentally ill who need periodic help to stay out of the hospitals. I don't know how common it was or is, or how it would work now. There are vastly more folks needing mental health services in general. We weren't there to cure them but to stabilize them, offer day activities, some group therapy, some one-on-one sessions, practice with problem-solving and communicating, and stuff like that. Gave them regular food, got them back on their meds as indicated, encouraged sleeping at night, stuff like that. It all has its place and applied to the right patient group it tends to work. We could go back to this if we had the will and the resources (including people willing to work with this population).
Thanks. That is a quite helpful comment on what seems an impossible situation.
Family and friends have worked in the caretaker institutions for both the severely insane - broken vets from the wars - as well as the severely disabled, the severely abused (pediatric), the severely criminal (prison system), etc. When one considers the sheer size of the problem and the amount of resources it takes for each individual, it's mindblowing. And that's not even including the elderly, the fosters, or worst of all, the street people yet!
Ha! That is the job of law enforcement up to the FBI in this country. How many shootings have been PREVENTED by law enforcement?
Instead we have defunding, protest control, crime control that do not work, and an FBI that just tries to impeach presidents instead of protecting the people.’ This country is one sick pup.
I'm old enough (born in 1947) to remember when working class folks, like my parents, were solidly Democrat. Things started going off the rails in the mid '60s as I entered into my college
years. As a student at UC Berkeley I had a ringside seat at all the foolishness and participated in some of it. All during this time I identified as politically liberal, a victim of my environment. None of us realized at the time that we were witnessing the end of an era and the beginning of Clusterfuck Nation. After Vietnam and having to work for a living, a solid dose of reality, I came to the conclusion that politics had become poisonous. They're all nuts. Fifty years later I'm still an anarchist.
We are living through the consequences of the hippy movement. The hippies are still here but instead of living in communes and VW vans they are professors at universities and lawyers on court benches.
The Hippy movement were a group of children not ready to be adults that just dropped out of the mainstream. They never grew up and raised a generation of kids that never had the opportunity to grow up. Each generation has a larger number of drop-outs right up to today. Today they are the Ult-Left, a huge group of drop-outs.
Most of the Hippies are either dead or retired at this point. They are now in their late 70s and 80s. The older Leftists still in the workplace are tail-end baby boomers and shadow boomers who were influenced by the Hippies.
Will, we are contemporaries. I'd say that UC-Berkeley was comparable with my college at UT-Austin. Maybe a little less Black Panther-esque. As I said above, the average American man could earn a decent living and actually achieve the "American Dream" of owning one's own home. Well hell. Everything back then was different. Our Jim Kunstler would be quick to point out the surfeit of petroleum as maybe THE driving economic force behind it all. 29 cents/gallon regular! Plus, let's not forget, not so god-damned many people! It's all part of the equation. Supply and demand are ever operative. 60 years later I'm still a Constitutional libertarian, with the emphasis on the word LIBERTY!
Good article, Mr. K. I just yesterday analyzed this.
I'm 75 years old. I grew up in an era when there were norms recognized by everyone -- standards of behavior to which we all adhered, and expected the same of everyone else, whether they agreed with us or not. These norms were well understood and broadly shared. No profane language, at least in public, or in the presence of women or children. A dress code -- flexible, but everyone understood that there were limits. Those who overstepped the boundaries learned quickly that such behavior was not tolerated. Peer pressure was real and there were all kinds of ways to bring pressure to those outside one's peer group.
The erosion of those norms is at the core of our problems. We will experience just as much abuse as we are willing to tolerate.
Yes and Bill Strauss and partner mentioned this. Things tolerated in other Turnings will not be tolerated in others. On the other hand, what America was back then was very much like Japan - an homogeneous population. Shared culture. No substitute for that. Which is why that has been the object of the attack by the oligarchs. Btw I'm 77 Richard.
I'm about the same age. I remember when John Kennedy was assassinated, I was in high school and they closed early. I walked home as usual about a mile, my mother said "What are you doing here?" I told her "The President's been shot!". I'll never forget the look on her face.
It’s a progression often seen in reformist groups. They usually start with legitimate complaints. Once those initial goals are largely achieved, they rarely disband and go back to normal, non-activist life. The process of “activism” becomes a goal in itself, a lifestyle, a way to express the religious impulse that humans seem to have. It easily leads to absurdities.
"You currently have one side willing to talk and extend a microphone to anyone, and one side that shoots to kill when they do." —Aimee Terese on X - Exactly... because the Left cannot articulate a reasonable defense of their 'reality' they need to brainwash their mob into believing that it's righteous to murder someone who has the courage to ask them to change his mind through civil discourse.
I've recently started listening to Scott Adams' 'Real Coffee' podcast (which I learned about through one of JHK's podcast) and Adams noted that even though many of us didn't really know much about Kirk, somehow many are taking this personally. There is definitely much energy for change and reckoning in the air.
"It is hard to account for exactly how this happened to us"
Not really. "The future is female". A sizeable portion of the electorate thinks anything that cries is a baby, so when Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs starts bawling, it's time to snuggle with mommy. This is what public policy is for, apparently.
You're falling for it. Isolate George Soros and make him the ultimate baddie. He's an employee of the International Bankers, you know the people that Hitler went after. The National Socialists would have never fallen for such low hanging fruit, but they weren't Americans and they didn't call people name Charles, Charlie.
If you can't get to the top of the tree, you get to the fruit you can reach. Soros is a serious player, it's hard to think of a more valid target. His genius was funding campaigns for downtickets that no one would notice, with a plan in mind - first secretaries of State, who validate the elections, and then the judges, prosecutors, police chiefs, in conjunction with puppet mayors.
He seized the key mechanics of the system - he's a force multiplier too good at his job and too dangerous to let stay.
George Floyd cried for his mommy as he began to die from a drug overdose. Millions of White woman longed to hold this 250 pound pimpfant to their breast.
Derrick Chauvin is still in jail. What the fuck is Trump doing?
It all started when women were taken out of the home and sent to the factories to work. World War 2. That was when the demise of the nuclear family began. The hippy movement accelerated it. Fathers no longer able to provide for their families. Women driving fork lifts and sitting on City Councils. Children raised in daycare. Divorce rates at 50% (80% of those divorces initiated by the women).
Of course, one might surmise that the problem began even earlier than that when women were given the right to vote.
100%. I'll never understand why women are permitted to vote for people who can send us to war, yet are exempt from the draft. All the rights. None of the responsibilities.
You can see this everywhere once you notice it. Like in the abortion debate. "My body, my choice"... Um, you're killing another human being, and making it about you. How about some accountability?
I'm female. I have no problem giving up my vote if it means America will return to normalcy.
Also... unless I know a lot about a female candidate-- and there are, on occasion, sensible women out there-- I won't vote for a woman either. Many women are generally too emotional to make good decisions when in office.
Women, biologically speaking, desire to be protected, provided for and are natural appeasers. Women seek to solve everybody's problems. Women tend to be more empathetic and sympathetic to everyone, especially the idiots and lame brains out there. Women just have a different nature and think differently then men do. Doesn't make them less important, it just makes them different then men. There are certain roles and certain places where women just don't belong.
So well said, Cank, so well said, just as there are places where men don't belong. And I certainly wouldn't go that far, either, I happen to rather like smart, capable women.
I don't know if I'd go that far, Lugh. Men and women have differences that offset or compliment each other. Hence the reason a child will typically do better being raised in a household where there is a loving father and mother present than in a single-parent household. I believe men should be the leaders and lead their women in firm kindness but I don't believe they should be ruled over.
Not true with all of them, or all the time. But a lot of them really need someone to be "daddy", and as we learned during Covid, will recruit the government to fill that role if a man is unavailable.
Yeah, I like Tulsi, and would have considered voting for her.
It would be nice if we could just reign in some of this lunatic female behavior without doing anything drastic, but a plurality of women are so bug-fuck insane that any attempt to do so (for example, politely objecting to recreational identity politics in the workplace) results in getting fired.
You really need psychiatric evaluation before you go out and harm some person who happens to be female and is higher on the social hierarchy than you. And that would be just about any female with a real job, you idiot.
Bringing recreational identity politics into the workplace isn't a "real job". It's a sinecure for low IQ women with big feelings.
Also, what's your definition of "harm"? Is it telling someone with tits that they are not, in fact, a man? Or is it shooting someone in the throat in front of his kids?
You ever watch how women act at a football game? Women don't give a rat's ass about the game, the players or the score. They are constantly in and out of their seats, yacking with friends, finding friends, etc. They are there for the party and the excitement of being there. It's fun and it tugs at their emotions. Same goes for politics. It tugs at their emotions and they respond emotionally.
Most women (not all) but most are nuts. They vote for a dude because he is handsome or sexy. If Newsome from California gets the Democrat nomination he has a good chance because he has nice hair, a good smile and unnaturally perfect and white teeth. I have heard women say this very thing in a conversation I overheard. One lady stated she was voting for Bill Clinton because he is such a "good looking man." Heard it myself with my own ears.
The founders had it right. Only white male taxpaying land owners had the right to vote. Why? Because they were the ones who were financially vested in the Government.
Yes, I’ve especially low tolerance for the kind of BS that shitlib trolls like you vomit every day. Now welcome to my block list and remember to go cry to your mommy.
Why yes it is...the late, great Zman once had an article on how a female workforce takes over a corporate office and turns is into an African village - women ruling inside the village with a thousand senseless rules, and the males largely exiled to the outer ring, only brought in occasionally for sex, to replace a thatch roof, or to kill the lion who got inside.
In 2015, it appeared to me that the message went out from those in power that transgenders were now to be a focus of the media and were to be forced on the society.
Bruce Jenner put on a dress and adopted a female name and was declared "Woman of the Year" by a prominent magazine. After that, transgenderism was everywhere in the media.
It was purposely launched and has been forced on society, especially young people.
The election of Obama and his effort to reformat the republic into a nation that no one would defend has to be included in the calculus of the derailing of America.
Looking back, it is pretty obvious that Obama was leading the beginning of a Dark vs, White civil war in the USA. He was the first multi-cultural president. Biden’s crowd was a follow-up to Obama.
I wonder ,is Russia-Russia-Russia a war between the multi-cultural elements of the USA against a White bastion, European Russia? Just a thought.
The hypocrisy of the Wokesters really stands out. The Woke PTB do not give one damn about the groups they supposedly champion.
I grew up not far from the overwhelming shadow of Pilgrim State Hospital. Never gave much thought to what it was or why it was closed, other than thinking it would make a great setting for a Stephen King horror story- before King himself became a horror. Having no faith in gubmint or the medical-pharmaceutical industrial complex I don’t have any answers, other than mental illness seems a stupid excuse to excuse criminal behavior and let mentally or other behaviorally defective dangers to society roam freely through what’s left of our broken society.
Mental illness is real, genetic and environmental mistakes. A real question is why are there more of them with each generation? Genetic pool getting weaker?
"why are there more of them with each generation?"
Because there are more people in the world. Also over-diagnosis.
A good friend of mine who worked hard to become a therapist told me yesterday she is throwing in the towel after 10 years because most seeking help are hopelessly messed up. Few will do the work to change, most of them are unlikable and insurance companies complicate things.
Ed Dutton says the Fourth Turning theory has a biological basis - without the regular culling of both war and nature, genetic load builds up until there are too many disfunctional actors, and the spiteful mutants try to turn society into themselves. Add in today's chemical load and low infant mortality, and we've got a situation on our hands.
Another author noted long ago that women died regularly in childbirth, but men don't - so the prime young sperm-producers need another mechanism to cull themselves. Some 18 year-old hothead gets a bug up his behind, and next thing you know the lads are out there going at it. This is why young men fight the wars, and why old kings, when planting season is over, sets them to raiding the neighboring kingdom.
Well said. The guy is a fucking monster. He said that pro-Gay Charlie wanted to stone Gays like the real Jews used to do long ago. Even the strictest Orthodox Jews don't have the fortitude to do that anymore.
A few Muslims have told the Queers for Palestine folks what would happen to them if they had their way. Not throwing stones but throwing them off buildings.
The counties in the seventies never financed the "reassimilation" of mental hospital patients. Mental hospitals may be a necessary warehouse evil, where people who are merely unusual or annoying as well as obviously incapable of functioning not due to physical problems are drugged into manageability. The people who deal with them day to day will vary from true angels to the uselessly educated to psychopaths.
My experience at the Philadelphia State Hospital was that those too brain-damaged to "respect authority" were shipped to a hospital for the criminally insane, where their life expectancy was six months.
We may not want to allow the signatures of any two MDs again to suffice for involuntary commitment, but urban crisis is going to force hard choices. Hopefully we will not avert our gaze, and at least be aware of what we are doing.
Ever notice the similarity between “assisted living for old folks and mental institutions? Just a place to put people that are disruptive to society, especially families, until they die. What do we do with disruptive criminal types? Prison. What do we do with disruptive pets or wild animals?
If you refuse to research and discuss the Khazarian mafia, then questions like " who-or-whatever actually directs this action" will remain unanswered. This is a "keep America divided" Machiavellian agenda and we know one country that seems to benefit most from this and the distractions, keep coming.
"It has apparently never occurred to anyone that re-establishing hospitals for the insane might be necessary."
Let's hope it is occurring to them now.
Make Asylums Great Again (MAGA).
All those de-institutionalized patients who lived disordered lives on a daily basis were loose on the streets. It was as a wave of humans suddenly released into society from the relative safety of the hospital settings. There was no preparation, and to a great extent they were ignored. When they encountered situations they could not manage, some of them tried the behaviors which would gain re-admittance to the institutions which provided a semblance of order to their lives. Except the institutions were shuttered tight, left as abandoned facades on lots becoming overgrown with weeds. The patients were left abandoned on city streets. Ill-prepared, possibly not capable of functioning in 'the outside world', the classes of 'street-people' and 'homeless' were thus effectuated.
I remember it well. It started on the west coast in 1969. And now, the leader who insists on housing and helping to care for the “street people” will be the hero of this century. This needs to be a first step back. Consider how much money has been spent on the homeless to no avail. I would venture that the cost has been much greater than if we housed and cared for these needy individuals. It was the west coast of N America where they also decided to provide drugs to the destitute, making a bad situation increasingly worse.
Another “gift” from the West Coast: “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, which was a wake up call about the conditions in the “State Hospitals for the Insane”. The public outcry gave political cover for the elimination of this line item with no real plan for a substitute. They threw out the baby with the bathwater and we are all living with the disordered consequences.
Ironically, or not, one of the worst places for homelessness on the West Coast is in Portland Oregon about 40 miles north of the State Hospital in the film.
Come to Portland if you want to see an open-air mental hospital and junkies everywhere.
And yet Portland has an ongoing (leading-edge?) experiment in addressing and finding solutions for the various issues.
Behavioral Health Unit
https://www.portland.gov/police/divisions/behavioral-health-unit
And yet the evidence of any success with this type of effort (including the worthless Portland Street Response) is lacking.
Junkies and the mentally ill abound along with all the crap they generate. Everyone knows the spots and so do the police. Just on Wednesday I saw a open air drug sale (a "latino" man surrounded by 8-10 people in a circle) as my bus waited for the light.
I don't know where you live but if it's here then you wouldn't even suggest the police are, or can, do anything about this mess. Multnomah county is the problem and the marxist "housing first" chair. This place is truly a f*cking mess.
I doubt it to be honest there are tens of thousands of them in San Diego alone.
They are literally everywhere, and it exploded around 2008.
I understand. And yet there will be a hero, the one who reverts this awful policy of deinstitutionalization. It must happen and it will make us the real and true “hottest country in the world”. Right now we really are the “hottest” - as in Hell.
What I mean is the vast amount of money to stand these places up and care properly for the inmates.
I realize that, but please consider the costs of the “help” already given and the crimes.
I have found it incredibly disheartening how we currently treat the mentally deranged. There is no consistency. If a person takes a razor blade and starts slicing up their arms and legs they are determined to be mentally ill and need help and help is provided to them. If a person hires a doctor to cut off his penis or her breasts with a knife their actions are celebrated and honored, they are patted on the back, congratulated, and encouraged to do more to continue the self mutilation. I'm a 51 year old white, Christian, heterosexual male and I am confused as hell by what I see and observe in this ruined nation. I can only imagine what is going on, or what is not going on, in the minds of the poor young people who are learning about life in this madness.
Then we have Charlie Kirk, a wholesome young man who, for reasons known only to him, purposefully puts himself right in the middle of it all as he attempts to try and help these poor confused young souls sort out the madness by teaching them how to ask questions and think for themselves. So they kill him, right here in the middle of my home state of Utah, a State with the most benign population of government lovers in the nation. Why else would the NSA build its biggest digital spy collections warehouse here in the small town of Bluffdale.
I fear that if the mental hospitals returned we could not build enough of them to house all of the sick and deranged of our population. Just go to a local Subway and watch the facial pierced tatted up obvious total loser young woman make your sandwich and you'll see what I mean. These poor saps are all over the place now.
Thank you, JHK for yet another article of true common sense and raw truth. It's people like you who stand stories above the madness and who help the rest of us sort it out.
What is missing is the why and who. Who are the central controlling figures that are leading the destruction of America. Why do they want the country to be destroyed? I can understand the role of multi-cultural movements to split the country into smaller units, favoring each one of them, but who are the people who are funding these folks and managing them to lead the charge against the Constitution?
Who? I am afraid that the culprits are foreign borne. Remember King of the Mountain? Are the folks that want to displace the USA are gathering their forces world-wide (think BRICS+ as an example) is a drive to displace us as number one. As warfare, shown by the debacles in Israel and Ukraine, is not effective any more as escalation to genocide is impossible without nukes and MAD, something else must be used. We are witnessing it in the USA right now. Infiltration to the extent of invasion, is the means. Sending enough contre-corps into a country dedicated to the vote and freedom eventually will undo the culture and identity of the country. Then slowly but surely, the country self-immolates itself onto the garbage pile of history.
Hmmm, if you accept this explanation, how should the American Judases be thought of that have actively admitted the infiltrators over the years? Traitors? Did they aid or abet the enemy during a time of war? Yes! Did they actively assist in trying to tear down the Constitution? Yes! The Democrat party is a group of traitors to our country selling us out to the global powers trying to knock the King off the mountain.
Aha, we have IDed the culprits, what to do about it? This absolute inane group has convinced America that they carry the rightness of America, its Democracy. Almost 50% of this country are voting for traitors to the Constitution. How did they do it? Discussed over and over, they co-ordinated with all the Foreigners to do two things, infiltrate our country with socialists, dependent poverty class people, and they infiltrated our education system with the same type of foreigners. Look at the legions of educators and even MDs that are foreign born, imported from somewhere else. So we end up training our young that America is evil, we import people whose goal is to take over America to their culture. The last thought of any of them is assimilation and maintenance of a common American culture.
We need solutions!!! Here goes. Education? First, all education will be taught in English. Immigrant kids will do a year of ESL, American history and civics before admission into the mainstream. Evening indoctrination of adults with ESL to be done. A citizen requirement that the apply for citizenship within three years and pass the citizenship test in English. Pass a federal law that any education institution will teach American history and civics in every primary and secondary school accurately to every student. No federal funding without. PTOs to be setup at every school and enemy teachers to be fired.
The other, immigration is easy. Build the wall, and enforce the already existent laws to allow in a controlled amount of people as needed by the country. This has already started and will happily increase over the next few years. Then make the primary goal of the legally imported immigrants to become English speaking good citizens in three years. Stop the Dem party from using immigrants as phony voters. Stop the increase in homelessness by either immigrants or displaced Americans.
If solutions were implemented, these or others, the Dem party would be doomed. They depend on the manipulation of an ignorant or privileged electorate to compete. An educated, literate, informed public would realize what these people are up to and reject them totally. Can the USA get its oomph back? I hope so.
Look: The more gays and trans, the fewer people get born. This is what the Globalists want - since they CORRECTLY see the world as over-populated. Good ol' Larry Fink was saying that 3rd World immigration might not be necessary even in a sterile society once AI and sufficient automation is in place.
Get it? It was a stage. It was necessary to break the White Christian state with mass immigration to get here. But now that we're there or almost, now the true agenda can shine forth.
The only problem is, it isn't the White Christian nations doing the overpopulating. We have overfed the stray cats, and now they're taking over the house.
It must be said that somebody has not only opened the doors, they've blown holes in the walls, and are out there herding cats our way. And they're doing that so we'll keep feeding them more and more of the cat food budget!
That's the consistent pattern behind all the Blessings we have received - first, create a huge problem with some "reform", and then get filthy rich "addressing" it!
Cloward Piven on steroids. What's the ultimate goal? The worker's paradise? Marxists are fundamentally so fucking stupid.
Mamdani stated yesterday that NYC needed to acquire the
“Means of production”. IOW, Marxist communism, not democracy, not fascism, rotten communism. The mayor of Dearborn Michigan , a Muslim, tried to throw a Christian out of a town meeting for objecting to two roads being named after a notorious local Muslim. The mayor told him to get out of Dearborn as he was no longer wanted there, that he was Islamophobic. FYI, the Dearborn area has the highest concentration of Muslims in the country.
Quiet, do you hear it. They are getting closer and closer. The Deep State is unlocking the gates.
Marxists are fundamentally so fucking stupid.
Marxists are fundamentally so fucking stupid.
So good it had to be said twice.
Great comment! Bless you!
These people are also working in Target and Petco and I can’t even tell what gender they are, kinda like “Pat” from SNL days but soooo much worse, hurts my heart :(
They know they are playing make believe like the furries because being a normal human being is boring and painful.
Better to be in some inclusive group or special class no matter how miserable it eventually makes you.
"Just go to a local Subway ..." in major cities with underground tunnels (subways) for mass transportation systems, there is a whole culture, society, 'civilization', or what else one might choose to name it, living in those tunnels. Sometimes it spills over to adjacent vacant areas which are out-of-view of the general public. The inhabitants emerge as necessary to acquire the 'things' they need to maintain the subterranean existence. Since they mostly keep to themselves they go unnoticed.
You sound like you are talking about CHUDs. Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. It was a movie made back in the 70s or 80s and it was based on the very premise you describe. Though, they ate toxic sludge and became man eating monsters with glowing eyes and expandible necks.
Haha! In the 80s, some of my buds were working on a water line, had it all trenched out. Some kids came up and asked them what they doing - my friend looked at them with his best poker face and said, "You guys, stay back...we're lookin' for CHUD..." and those kids took off running!
LOL, that is a funny story!
The movie was hilariously cheesy and creepy. I saw it as a child, probably 12 or so and it has stayed with me. Always be on the look out for CHUDs or they'll get you when you least expect!
Don't really know anything about the movie. Now I'll need to look it up.
The above ground street populations have taken over areas of the larger cities. They get most of the coverage, possibly due to visibility. They put a strain on public resources and the people who provide the resources.
Lack of actual support for maintaining civil order has created a situation in the larger cities where people take employment opportunities, gain experience, then exit for quieter and/or more appreciative locations. The experience is a valuable item, making them a high-value hire.
DeSantis, for one, figured this out, offering sign-on bonuses and other perks to attract experienced people of merit to Florida.
"government lovers" 😍 🤣
Not many things worse to be called....
The problem with hospitals for the insane is that they would be full of our politicians
"The purpose of the Senate is to keep 100 middle-aged knuckleheads out of the private sector where they can do real harm." - P.J. O'Rourke
He forgets about 435 absolute idiots that inhabit the other side of the Capitol. Every time I see the flags flying over the wings, I wonder what they are going to do to us today?
Ah, the other side is supposed to be representing the people. A really scary thought is maybe they are.
Agree, except average age of 72 is elderly not middle aged
Can I offer 'would' be replaced with 'should' and thus 'The problem" becomes self-confining?
😂🤣 No such luck!
They have no desire to do that because it would "oppress" the mentally ill, plus returning them to mental hospitals would deprive them of their argument that Reagan caused the problem by emptying the hospitals. Problem is, the crazies were freed before Reagan entered the White House, and states closed their hospitals because they needed to spend the money elsewhere (likely some largesse to keep people voting for Democrats).
🙌👍
Years ago, when I worked in downtown Minneapolis, everybody spent their hour-long lunchbreak in the skyways. They tended to be pretty packed, and in a wide pass-through along the police station lurked what was probably an untreated schizophrenic. He passed through the crowd like a rogue wave, a full head taller than anybody else. Shaggy and bearded, ragged and dirty and smelly, he paid no attention to a single soul, for which all were grateful. He was too busy waving his arms around as he engaged in a loud, vicious, profanity-laced argument with himself. The spectacle always scared me. If something had set him off, with his great size, he'd have torn up that crowd like so many sheets of paper. The poor man needed to be hospitalized and stablized, but he never was.
I stepped out of my path onto the street and saw an gigantic Black man, six foot five or so and well over 300 pounds coming my way on the street, raving about everything. When he saw me, he said, "He's CIA and I'm CIA too. I relaxed: We were on the same team!
The failed 'community mental health' meme (that radically opposes inpatient psychiatric care) is so engrained in the training of mental health 'professionals' that I doubt we will see mental hospitals built en mass again in most of our lifetimes. Also, the US is bankrupt, financially, as well as morally and politically; what group has the will and the funds to start re-building the much needed mental hospitals? Bill Gates? :)
Bill Gates wants them (and everyone else) exterminated.
Who gets the bucks? Prisons or mental institutions?
Can't Claim being American Running Around Playing Communist Manifesto
https://torrancestephensphd.substack.com/p/cant-claim-being-american-running
They will probably put all the sane ones in . Like after the war of northern aggression did to southerns
Sure would work out to be cheaper for the taxpayer...of which there are less and less. Everyone's on some form of welfare now - handouts from the gov't which would appreciate our vote for their kindness. They killed off the generation that actually generated wealth.
"but who-or-whatever actually directs this action remains an abiding mystery of our time."
There is a growing consensus among observers that this is not a mystery at all. There were people and organizations behind the Robinson boy, influencing him, encouraging him. There is a group called "transtifa", Antifa, that is funded by the Soros's. The markings on the shell casings refer to that group.
And over and above that is the global Luciferian cult, that seeks to destroy the family, children, and society. They hate god-fearing family men like Charlie Kirk. They revel with glee in the death of good men. This is the war we find ourselves in.
The war between good and evil has never been more stark. The battle lines have been drawn. Fence sitters are increasingly losing their balance. I know which side I am on. I am armed to the teeth but I am a dude who just wants to be left alone. It's a Gen X thing that other generations don't understand. But when the time comes and the need arises I'll be ready to go out and drag these mother truckers from their comfy condos and give them a good learning. The time is rapidly coming where good men need to correct what ails society. It will be ugly. It will be gross. It will be horrific. I don't know when that time comes but it is coming. What happened to Mr. Kirk haunts me. I couldn't sleep the night it happened. He was trying to fight the fight and he was slaughtered because of it. A true hero. A true hero worthy of being remembered. Still, no riots. No unrest. Nothing. Had that been Al Sharpton our cities would be looted and burning.
I don't know what it will take to get the good men of the nation to finally rise up and cleanse the nation of its filth and refuse.
Yep. It’s coming without a doubt, but when?
I can’t wrap my head around conservatives who still believe we can fix the nation without the “ugly” part of the solution. For chrissakes people, just LOOK at the perfect storm the left has conjured up. They control our schools, MSM, social media, bought off our corrupt politicians, have foreign enemy benefactors and brought in 30+ million illegals who will teach their anchor babies to vote democrat. You know, a VOTER PROOF majority coming to you in another 10-20 years time.
And yet…people still think that evangelizing like Charlie Kirk did…all by itself…is enough to turn it all around. He DID do great things peacefully, in the model of Jesus…but our problem right now is of this Earth. Somebody (Reagan, maybe) said we can vote our way into communism, but will have to fight our way out of it.
Words to live by.
So very well said and exactly correct. If this mess is to be fixed it will be by those men who just want to be left alone, having had enough, who will rise up and crush it. It will be horrific. There is no other way. The fact that nobody rioted over what they did the Charlie Kirk tells me they aren't ready yet. Things just don't warrant it yet. We still have it way too good.
I think it will only happen when those men can no longer feed themselves or their families. Hunger is a unique motivator. Until then a few meaningless rallies and some social media post will have to suffice. 🤷♂️
Correct! These revolts only ever happen when men have nothing left to lose. Ironically, if not carefully run, the very impoverishment of the People by the sociopathic oligarchies, will lead to this very revolt!
I miss Ronnie
Depends. I revere the pre-shot Reagan, not the weakened one post facto.
What depresses me is that most revolutions thruout history have ended badly for the cause of Liberty.
The original American revolution seems to have been rather successful in that regard.
Which is why I said "most".
This is close to the thoughts you expressed. I hope to be a light in the world, and bring the Gospel message to the lost. I'm not especially afraid or worried about being killed myself, but for those that want to harm those I care about:
“The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over.
The moment the men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the men who just wanted to be left alone.”
― Alexandr Solzhenitsyn
I read this stirring quote on Kunstler's previous article's comment section. It is a chilling and thought provoking comment and it rings true to me.
When "the men who want to be left alone" act they will rain Hell down upon the trouble makers. It will not be pretty, but it will be needed.
It will be beautiful & long overdue
Likely the way it will play out.
They will be called terrorists - or do you support Luigi Mangione? He decided that guy deserved to die and he went ahead and did it. That's what you're talking about, right?
Did that guy deserve to die? I'm not sure.
Of course they will, because calling names is all the dumbocraps have.
Why would I be talking about something that took place months ago? You obviously don't know the quote I used
Yeah, that's just what Trump said about Epstein. The past doesn't exist anymore. Anyone who talks about it is a loser.
Any "mother truckers" in their comfy condos, that you can access, are several layers removed from the evil people you wish you could "give a good learning". These "Masters of the Universe" are not dumb. They know they would be dealt with harshly if they were vulnerable. Hence, they have made themselves quite safe behind their own "Praetorian Guard" of sorts.
I am ready as well and will be glad to finally get going and serve with righteous men.
It will take a leader, I suppose.
We have one, just still not strong enough to correct the course. Call it what you want, we may need tough love in the country to fix the globalist pollution.
We don't need a leader. We have hundreds, if not thousands of "leaders" in our midst. They are all self serving and corrupted. Lovers of themselves and lovers of power and money.
What we need is someone to unify us. To bring us together and unite the people into one mind and one mission. Mr. Trump is doing the best he can given the limited authority of the Presidency. However, he is not a uniter. The people are too divided.
Lincoln was a “unifier”? He saved the Union and was later almost deified for it. It cost hundreds of thousands of lives to do it.
I draw analogies to 1860 a lot as I believe we are at the same sort of crossroads today. The Fourth Turning states crises every 80 to 100 years. Well, 1860>1940 = 80 years and 1945>2025 =80 years. Are we due for what we are seeing? Is Trump strong enough to keep it together? He is definitely not the type to keep it together diplomatically.
I didn't say Lincoln was a unifier and I certainly don't believe he was, JohnAZ. Lincoln didn't "save" anything. He overthrew the Constitution of 1788 and turned the nation from a "union" of unique and sovereign states to a large Federal leviathan with small administrative districts. True, he kept the states together but he was no unifier. He was a tyrant who used all filthy and evil means available to him to coerce and force the southern states back under control of the Federal government, he unleashed Satanic generals on innocent women and children in the south, he suspended all Constitutional rights and he caused the war in the first place with passage of the Morril Tarriff. Lincoln was horrible and probably the worst and most damaging President this Country has ever experienced. Lincoln paved the way for Woodrow Wilson, FDR and LBJ.
Has any bona fide narcissist ever lead a popular and successful revolution?
Add on to the fact that today we fight resource depletion, overpopulation, climate change, and the Dark revolution worldwide. Will anyone be strong enough to hold it together?
I am watching the skies for an answer, namely A1 Atlas? Are there any answers coming?
Indeed Cankerpuss, well said. The lack of meaningful righteous anger and direct action has puzzled me ever since all the covid absurdities were inflicted upon us. I look to Nepal with admiration and simultaneous disappointment that not even one of the 5-eyes nations can muster the same courage to eject their feckless and corrupted so-called leaders. (As the US should have done some time ago).
Indonesia too, they were rioting in Indonesia over the high unemployment combined with excessive corruption.
Well said Geezermann. Tyler Robinson was not even a student at Utah Valley State. News media said he drove hundreds of miles from "somewhere", and now is not cooperating with police. How strange that elements of the Kirk shooting are almost identical to the Catholic school shooting in Minneapolis on Aug. 27th. Who is pulling the strings and directing these shootings?
He was from St. George, Utah, about 300 miles to the south.
He was in a gay relationship with a transgender who identified as "a furry." That's what I heard on Vicki McKenna this morning.
Yes it was a real freak show.
He was in a gay relationship with a transgender who identified as "a furry." That's what I heard on Vicki McKenna this morning.
Indeed, as many declare these days, we are in a war with Satan, between good and evil.
We were told by Jesus, through John, that what we are witnessing was going to happen. Man is inherently evil and evil will progress until God, Jesus, takes control and finally wipes out evil, meaning us, or at least the vast majority of us.
And, currently, Satan is having his way with the good while God gives deference to the evil. It's hard to wrap ones brain around this.
Satan is us.
Or some of us.
Je suis Charlie? Can you imagine calling yourself "Charlie" or being friends with anyone who did?
It's a sloppy "feel good" name. Charlie was fine with Gays, just as other feel good mainstream conservatives are, say like Tucker Carlson. He was even fine with trannies, appearing with Lady MAGA. He was "against" multi-genderism, famously saying: There are two genders. Choose.
He thought you could choose your gender. This is very far from real Christian Conservatism, is it not?
Of course Charlie was a dyed in the wool Zionist. Of course he was! That's why he's a hero.....
You don’t read or listen well. You are grossly misstating his positions.
Mystic, you will learn as long as it is Jewish, especially Zionist, Lugh will misstate to make his points.
He had lately began to question Isreals goals
& tpusa was started & largely funded by some very wealthy Jewish donors. This was very upsetting to them.
Who will be the next face of TPUSA Ben Shapiro 🤔
You are a troll, and a big part of America's problems/
Someone made a good point that it also had a direct involvement with Ukraine.
https://open.substack.com/pub/georgewebb/p/ukraine-family-robinson-azov-kirk?r=4fcmc2&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
Yes, I read that there may have been foreign government involvement. One of his neighbors said there were out of town visitors to his apartment in recent days.
Ben's link was really, really good, in regards to the hired professionals who specialize in such operations. As to the string-pullers, Charlie was starting to ask hard questions, and could have taken the college students with him if he had turned, since they are already so inclined - but far worse, he would've taken half the evangelicals with him as well, and that possibility could not be allowed to happen.
Did a 22 year old have the street smarts to pull this off? He is protecting someone.
How many accomplices did he have? Were shady elements of the @lphabet agencies assisting him? Other governments? Who else was involved?
Transtifa funded by whom and why are we putting up with them?
Domestic terrorists with a marxist bend towards unreality.
Seems like Ukraine is the battleground for the major factions that are vying for power.
Is Trump's UK visit related?
So many political rabbit holes. Which one to choose?

Luciferians: The Old Religion.
I believe Michael Yon was spot on in an interview I watched on Coffee and a Mike (Rumble show with Mike Farris). He said that we are in a war. And that it is not recent. It has a long history. Today we see it globally. This is because the Powers That Be behind this war are global in their extent. They use different means and methods in different settings. But basically it is always "divide and conquer". And that is done with their clever, smart propaganda.

JHK, that was a generous interpretation of how the left descended to the depths they inhabit today. Food for thought. Thanks.
I'm sure it did occur to them, however, they were too busy spending our monies elsewhere. It also suited their agenda to have yet another failed group that they could blame on conservatives.
The left has always used the losers, misfits and weirdos of society as a tool to dismantle the established order, believing that, by this means, they would ascend to the top of the rubble and "rebuild", or as was recently popular among the leftists who briefly purloined the American Presidency, "build back better." Of course, their fever dream of a new and perfected society constructed on the ruins of the old order was never more than that: a dream. Or more correctly defined, a nightmare. One can no more realistically build a better society on the ruins of the old than one can build a better wristwatch from the smashed and twisted remains of the old one. Sprockets missing teeth, springs wrenched into twisted and useless strands of metal, gears stripped smooth are not the ingredients of a functioning timepiece. It is what happens when idiot children are given free reign to govern themselves without adult supervision and guidance; when human nature is given the opportunity to express itself in all its most debased and degenerate incarnations. When God is removed from the equation, satan has the field all to himself. If one can look upon our society in its current manifestation and not see satan at work, one is blind. It can only be hoped that the remaining adults can and do reassert themselves and put the disobedient children back in their proper place. Whether that place is the prison, lunatic asylum or the grave does not really matter; it is simply that the re-ordering of society take place. Failing this, our doom is sealed.
"Of course, their fever dream of a new and perfected society constructed on the ruins of the old order was never more than that: a dream."
I don't think they ever intended to rebuild anything. They only intended to destroy Christendom / Western Society and live in the void. Less of us. More for them.
Revelation says that the evil is going to get much worse as the Evil spreads and the antagonists just blame God for their discord instead of themselves. I do not think this will end until God intercedes.
I have an inherent dislike of John's Revelation-vision. Because I have an inherent dislike for prophecy, esp. one that relies upon more than 2,000 years to be validated.
Jesus told John that the timeline for the EndTimes was only known to the Father. So 2000 years may be only a start. I do note that Man is facing problems like never before with limitations on necessary commodities becoming more severe causing more discord. Also, the End Times of Revelation lead to a re-birth of a New Jerusalem, not extinction, but the deliverance of Earth from evil. Even after the rebirth, surveillance will continue to crush evil.
These kids use a site called "discord".....
Prophecy is clear: We will lose this battle. That doesn't mean we don't fight of course.
The Antichrist, an ethnic Jew, will have two seats: The rebuilt Temple and the Vatican. He will betray Israel in their hour of Triumph (the only nation left standing) in favor of Globalism. Their long awaited Messiah will hate them just like the rest of the world and just as He will hate everyone else.
This is their world and we're using it up. They had to do something! Gays have few kids, trannies have even fewer. Of course they were going to go in that direction.
I wonder: is this the End? (if there is such a thing as the End)
Every religion has a tradition of "miracles" in its belief system. Christianity is just the latest one. All of these religions are essentially strange because they believe in an intrusion of the Divine into the Natural World. It's actually known as the supernatural.
I wish there are such things coming from "God", but I doubt it.
It seems that "God" has set up his/her world and is letting it play itself out. I guess I'm a Deist like Jefferson, et al.
We need asylums but their standards must be rigorous. In the former USSR, the asylums were filled with dissidents. Anytime laws are created, imagine what a fourth term Obama could do with them. Then build in safeguards.
Anyone who pushes a bolt through their tongues or a bull ring through their nostrils is a good place to start.
Cankerpuss, Did you see the video of the girl who was asking Trump to restore the Smith-Mundt Act against propaganda and call it the Charlie Kirk Act? I believe Trump posted it? She had red dyed hair and a bolt through her tongue (most distracting but I listened to her words anyway). So maybe the tide is turning even amongst the "throughly-pierced).
Ha! The young guys are saying Nose Ring Theory always proves true.
Yes, Obama did catalyze the crazy left, no doubt.
Within constitutional limits, individuals should be committed based on recommendations from family members, close associates, and mental health professionals, with courts hearing appeals. This currently happens on a limited basis with individuals who are considered "a danger to themselves."
This approach should be "mainstreamed." I wonder if Tyler Robinson's family, roommate, etc. would have sought such an option had it been readily available.
In any case, you are 100% correct about the potential for abuse.
"and mental health professionals,"
Many of these people are similarly-deranged and if you give them that power, they'd throw people like us, people with traditional values, in mental institutions.
My knee-jerk reaction is that a properly functioning court system would mitigate those types of abuses. But that would require a properly functioning court system.....
Acknowledging again the potential for abuse, it should be assumed that gender dysphoria is a mental health condition. Here's a link to a Spring 2025 report on pediatric gender dysphoria from DHHS:
https://opa.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/2025-05/gender-dysphoria-report.pdf
But there is the issue we don't have a properly functioning court system.
They used it to go after Trump with charges that would not have been brought against anyone else in history.
🙌👍
Yes! Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Good comment, Skenny. I don't know how it's going nowadays, but back in the '80s I worked at a small, community-based, 12-bed inpatient mental health unit. It served mainly the chronically mentally ill population of my state's capitol city and helped to keep many of them from losing their housing in the community--most of them lived in group homes--and kept them out of the mental ward of the hospital. Sometimes the patients did progress to needing hospitalization, and sometimes they recovered from their acute episode and were able to return to their housing. This kept some of the load off the hospital ER, where they'd have gone absent our little unit, and saved the system some money from not having as many folks cycling endlessly through the mental ward. Our staff on the whole did not possess advanced degrees because they are not needed for the level of intervention we did. We did train staff well, imo, and asked for at least a year's commitment to the job. Many of us were there a long time so were mentors to new staff. We had a nurse on every shift to cover medical issues and to dispense medications, and access to professionals who could assess for hospital 24/7. (Occasionally a non-chronically mentally ill person would be admitted, usually needing a new life and all the services that go with it--such folks generally discharged themselves after one day or night on the unit and seeing what the other patients were like.)
There's a lot I could write about my experience and observations from that job but I'll keep it short. I think this kind of setup could be replicated wherever there is a population of chronically mentally ill who need periodic help to stay out of the hospitals. I don't know how common it was or is, or how it would work now. There are vastly more folks needing mental health services in general. We weren't there to cure them but to stabilize them, offer day activities, some group therapy, some one-on-one sessions, practice with problem-solving and communicating, and stuff like that. Gave them regular food, got them back on their meds as indicated, encouraged sleeping at night, stuff like that. It all has its place and applied to the right patient group it tends to work. We could go back to this if we had the will and the resources (including people willing to work with this population).
Thanks. That is a quite helpful comment on what seems an impossible situation.
Family and friends have worked in the caretaker institutions for both the severely insane - broken vets from the wars - as well as the severely disabled, the severely abused (pediatric), the severely criminal (prison system), etc. When one considers the sheer size of the problem and the amount of resources it takes for each individual, it's mindblowing. And that's not even including the elderly, the fosters, or worst of all, the street people yet!
Ha! That is the job of law enforcement up to the FBI in this country. How many shootings have been PREVENTED by law enforcement?
Instead we have defunding, protest control, crime control that do not work, and an FBI that just tries to impeach presidents instead of protecting the people.’ This country is one sick pup.
I'm old enough (born in 1947) to remember when working class folks, like my parents, were solidly Democrat. Things started going off the rails in the mid '60s as I entered into my college
years. As a student at UC Berkeley I had a ringside seat at all the foolishness and participated in some of it. All during this time I identified as politically liberal, a victim of my environment. None of us realized at the time that we were witnessing the end of an era and the beginning of Clusterfuck Nation. After Vietnam and having to work for a living, a solid dose of reality, I came to the conclusion that politics had become poisonous. They're all nuts. Fifty years later I'm still an anarchist.
We are living through the consequences of the hippy movement. The hippies are still here but instead of living in communes and VW vans they are professors at universities and lawyers on court benches.
But wasn't the 'hippy movement' also a psyop?
The Hippy movement were a group of children not ready to be adults that just dropped out of the mainstream. They never grew up and raised a generation of kids that never had the opportunity to grow up. Each generation has a larger number of drop-outs right up to today. Today they are the Ult-Left, a huge group of drop-outs.
Lots of strange goings on in the hippie movement, especially in terms of "musicians with fathers in the military". Interesting read:
https://centerforaninformedamerica.com/inside-the-lc-the-strange-but-mostly-true-story-of-laurel-canyon-and-the-birth-of-the-hippie-generation-part-i/
It was a bleedin' Cultural Revolution, it was.
I recommend you read CHAOS by Tom O'Neill and WEIRD SCENES INSIDE LAUREL CANYON by David McGowan.
No.
Most of the Hippies are either dead or retired at this point. They are now in their late 70s and 80s. The older Leftists still in the workplace are tail-end baby boomers and shadow boomers who were influenced by the Hippies.
Good points.
Bah humbug!
Will, we are contemporaries. I'd say that UC-Berkeley was comparable with my college at UT-Austin. Maybe a little less Black Panther-esque. As I said above, the average American man could earn a decent living and actually achieve the "American Dream" of owning one's own home. Well hell. Everything back then was different. Our Jim Kunstler would be quick to point out the surfeit of petroleum as maybe THE driving economic force behind it all. 29 cents/gallon regular! Plus, let's not forget, not so god-damned many people! It's all part of the equation. Supply and demand are ever operative. 60 years later I'm still a Constitutional libertarian, with the emphasis on the word LIBERTY!
"The runner up abiding mystery is how the news media was hijacked to go along with that." Well said.
no mystery at all , just follow the $$$
True, it's always the money. And it somehow leads back to Soros, Gates and the boys from Davos.
I believe that was kinda tongue in cheek by JHK it's pretty obvious.
Good article, Mr. K. I just yesterday analyzed this.
I'm 75 years old. I grew up in an era when there were norms recognized by everyone -- standards of behavior to which we all adhered, and expected the same of everyone else, whether they agreed with us or not. These norms were well understood and broadly shared. No profane language, at least in public, or in the presence of women or children. A dress code -- flexible, but everyone understood that there were limits. Those who overstepped the boundaries learned quickly that such behavior was not tolerated. Peer pressure was real and there were all kinds of ways to bring pressure to those outside one's peer group.
The erosion of those norms is at the core of our problems. We will experience just as much abuse as we are willing to tolerate.
It's time to dial up the intolerance.
Ha, I remember no jeans or gum in school. Dress codes were a source of pride in school.
Recognized, if not agreed-to, by all. Those who overstepped the boundaries might be in for some social pressure.
No longer, it seems.
Yes and Bill Strauss and partner mentioned this. Things tolerated in other Turnings will not be tolerated in others. On the other hand, what America was back then was very much like Japan - an homogeneous population. Shared culture. No substitute for that. Which is why that has been the object of the attack by the oligarchs. Btw I'm 77 Richard.
I'm about the same age. I remember when John Kennedy was assassinated, I was in high school and they closed early. I walked home as usual about a mile, my mother said "What are you doing here?" I told her "The President's been shot!". I'll never forget the look on her face.
Yeah. I was in a small school for boys. We were called down to the cafeteria and the headmaster broke the news to us.
My wife and I sat together in Geometry class when the announcements came over the PA, first the shooting then his death.
It’s a progression often seen in reformist groups. They usually start with legitimate complaints. Once those initial goals are largely achieved, they rarely disband and go back to normal, non-activist life. The process of “activism” becomes a goal in itself, a lifestyle, a way to express the religious impulse that humans seem to have. It easily leads to absurdities.
And those who end up in leadership positions often end up being corrupted by the power.
“Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.” — Eric Hoffer
Whoa! way to go Hoffer!
Great causes are excuses to drop out.
Just look at Zionism.
"You currently have one side willing to talk and extend a microphone to anyone, and one side that shoots to kill when they do." —Aimee Terese on X - Exactly... because the Left cannot articulate a reasonable defense of their 'reality' they need to brainwash their mob into believing that it's righteous to murder someone who has the courage to ask them to change his mind through civil discourse.
I've recently started listening to Scott Adams' 'Real Coffee' podcast (which I learned about through one of JHK's podcast) and Adams noted that even though many of us didn't really know much about Kirk, somehow many are taking this personally. There is definitely much energy for change and reckoning in the air.
Charlie was Zionist and pro-Gay. They can work with this kind of "Christian" hero.
Not being homophobic is not the same thing as being pro-gay.
Maybe, but it's not far away from it either.
Now you're just being silly.
Yah, no he wasn't but you can say whatever you like. Even if you look stupid. It's your right!
'Was' is the operative word Lugh. He had been denouncing the Zionist regime in Israel and that is what got him killed IMHO.
"It is hard to account for exactly how this happened to us"
Not really. "The future is female". A sizeable portion of the electorate thinks anything that cries is a baby, so when Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs starts bawling, it's time to snuggle with mommy. This is what public policy is for, apparently.
Of course this focus on feminism put the albatross on the necks of blue cities, if you’ve noticed that many of them have black female mayors.
And black women who are the chief of police.
Don't forget the Commie women who hold the position of attorney general, thanks to George S.

You're falling for it. Isolate George Soros and make him the ultimate baddie. He's an employee of the International Bankers, you know the people that Hitler went after. The National Socialists would have never fallen for such low hanging fruit, but they weren't Americans and they didn't call people name Charles, Charlie.
If you can't get to the top of the tree, you get to the fruit you can reach. Soros is a serious player, it's hard to think of a more valid target. His genius was funding campaigns for downtickets that no one would notice, with a plan in mind - first secretaries of State, who validate the elections, and then the judges, prosecutors, police chiefs, in conjunction with puppet mayors.
He seized the key mechanics of the system - he's a force multiplier too good at his job and too dangerous to let stay.
George Floyd cried for his mommy as he began to die from a drug overdose. Millions of White woman longed to hold this 250 pound pimpfant to their breast.
Derrick Chauvin is still in jail. What the fuck is Trump doing?
“Pimpfant”. LOL
It all started when women were taken out of the home and sent to the factories to work. World War 2. That was when the demise of the nuclear family began. The hippy movement accelerated it. Fathers no longer able to provide for their families. Women driving fork lifts and sitting on City Councils. Children raised in daycare. Divorce rates at 50% (80% of those divorces initiated by the women).
Of course, one might surmise that the problem began even earlier than that when women were given the right to vote.
100%. I'll never understand why women are permitted to vote for people who can send us to war, yet are exempt from the draft. All the rights. None of the responsibilities.
You can see this everywhere once you notice it. Like in the abortion debate. "My body, my choice"... Um, you're killing another human being, and making it about you. How about some accountability?
I'm female. I have no problem giving up my vote if it means America will return to normalcy.
Also... unless I know a lot about a female candidate-- and there are, on occasion, sensible women out there-- I won't vote for a woman either. Many women are generally too emotional to make good decisions when in office.
I feel the same! Women have partially ruined this country……thanks Gloria S.😡
Women, biologically speaking, desire to be protected, provided for and are natural appeasers. Women seek to solve everybody's problems. Women tend to be more empathetic and sympathetic to everyone, especially the idiots and lame brains out there. Women just have a different nature and think differently then men do. Doesn't make them less important, it just makes them different then men. There are certain roles and certain places where women just don't belong.
First time I’ve ever disagreed with you Canker
How so, Annette kimball? Let me have your thoughts. I'm always open to alternative views.
So well said, Cank, so well said, just as there are places where men don't belong. And I certainly wouldn't go that far, either, I happen to rather like smart, capable women.
It makes them less than us. That's why they should be ruled at home too. As they desire in their heart of hearts, in the darkness......
I don't know if I'd go that far, Lugh. Men and women have differences that offset or compliment each other. Hence the reason a child will typically do better being raised in a household where there is a loving father and mother present than in a single-parent household. I believe men should be the leaders and lead their women in firm kindness but I don't believe they should be ruled over.
Just my take.
Not true with all of them, or all the time. But a lot of them really need someone to be "daddy", and as we learned during Covid, will recruit the government to fill that role if a man is unavailable.
Yeah, I like Tulsi, and would have considered voting for her.
It would be nice if we could just reign in some of this lunatic female behavior without doing anything drastic, but a plurality of women are so bug-fuck insane that any attempt to do so (for example, politely objecting to recreational identity politics in the workplace) results in getting fired.
We can't go on like this. Something has to give.
You really need psychiatric evaluation before you go out and harm some person who happens to be female and is higher on the social hierarchy than you. And that would be just about any female with a real job, you idiot.
Bringing recreational identity politics into the workplace isn't a "real job". It's a sinecure for low IQ women with big feelings.
Also, what's your definition of "harm"? Is it telling someone with tits that they are not, in fact, a man? Or is it shooting someone in the throat in front of his kids?
Women voters…the ONLY reason the democrat party has not been totally trampled out of existence. It infuriates me.
You ever watch how women act at a football game? Women don't give a rat's ass about the game, the players or the score. They are constantly in and out of their seats, yacking with friends, finding friends, etc. They are there for the party and the excitement of being there. It's fun and it tugs at their emotions. Same goes for politics. It tugs at their emotions and they respond emotionally.
Most women (not all) but most are nuts. They vote for a dude because he is handsome or sexy. If Newsome from California gets the Democrat nomination he has a good chance because he has nice hair, a good smile and unnaturally perfect and white teeth. I have heard women say this very thing in a conversation I overheard. One lady stated she was voting for Bill Clinton because he is such a "good looking man." Heard it myself with my own ears.
The founders had it right. Only white male taxpaying land owners had the right to vote. Why? Because they were the ones who were financially vested in the Government.
Your profile says you have a low tolerance for BS. Your self loathing must be a real bitch.
Yes, I’ve especially low tolerance for the kind of BS that shitlib trolls like you vomit every day. Now welcome to my block list and remember to go cry to your mommy.
Hmmm. Isn’t this an imitation of the Black community, matriarchal with little responsibility by Dads?
Why yes it is...the late, great Zman once had an article on how a female workforce takes over a corporate office and turns is into an African village - women ruling inside the village with a thousand senseless rules, and the males largely exiled to the outer ring, only brought in occasionally for sex, to replace a thatch roof, or to kill the lion who got inside.
Oh, nice touch of racism among you woman haters. Piss off you asshole.
In 2015, it appeared to me that the message went out from those in power that transgenders were now to be a focus of the media and were to be forced on the society.
Bruce Jenner put on a dress and adopted a female name and was declared "Woman of the Year" by a prominent magazine. After that, transgenderism was everywhere in the media.
It was purposely launched and has been forced on society, especially young people.
New Age philosopher Ken Wilber, starting donning a blond wig and talking in a high pitched voice. A brilliant man, but still for sale.
The election of Obama and his effort to reformat the republic into a nation that no one would defend has to be included in the calculus of the derailing of America.
Obama started the de-throning of the European culture in the country.
Replacing it with phony woke culture.
Looking back, it is pretty obvious that Obama was leading the beginning of a Dark vs, White civil war in the USA. He was the first multi-cultural president. Biden’s crowd was a follow-up to Obama.
I wonder ,is Russia-Russia-Russia a war between the multi-cultural elements of the USA against a White bastion, European Russia? Just a thought.
The hypocrisy of the Wokesters really stands out. The Woke PTB do not give one damn about the groups they supposedly champion.
I grew up not far from the overwhelming shadow of Pilgrim State Hospital. Never gave much thought to what it was or why it was closed, other than thinking it would make a great setting for a Stephen King horror story- before King himself became a horror. Having no faith in gubmint or the medical-pharmaceutical industrial complex I don’t have any answers, other than mental illness seems a stupid excuse to excuse criminal behavior and let mentally or other behaviorally defective dangers to society roam freely through what’s left of our broken society.
Mental illness is real, genetic and environmental mistakes. A real question is why are there more of them with each generation? Genetic pool getting weaker?
"why are there more of them with each generation?"
Because there are more people in the world. Also over-diagnosis.
A good friend of mine who worked hard to become a therapist told me yesterday she is throwing in the towel after 10 years because most seeking help are hopelessly messed up. Few will do the work to change, most of them are unlikable and insurance companies complicate things.
She's moving into healing work.
Ed Dutton says the Fourth Turning theory has a biological basis - without the regular culling of both war and nature, genetic load builds up until there are too many disfunctional actors, and the spiteful mutants try to turn society into themselves. Add in today's chemical load and low infant mortality, and we've got a situation on our hands.
Another author noted long ago that women died regularly in childbirth, but men don't - so the prime young sperm-producers need another mechanism to cull themselves. Some 18 year-old hothead gets a bug up his behind, and next thing you know the lads are out there going at it. This is why young men fight the wars, and why old kings, when planting season is over, sets them to raiding the neighboring kingdom.
Remember Howard's Kull of Atlantis? When the Serpent Men were sneaking up on him to kill him, his Pictish servant yelled, Slay, Kull.
Well said. The guy is a fucking monster. He said that pro-Gay Charlie wanted to stone Gays like the real Jews used to do long ago. Even the strictest Orthodox Jews don't have the fortitude to do that anymore.
A few Muslims have told the Queers for Palestine folks what would happen to them if they had their way. Not throwing stones but throwing them off buildings.
The counties in the seventies never financed the "reassimilation" of mental hospital patients. Mental hospitals may be a necessary warehouse evil, where people who are merely unusual or annoying as well as obviously incapable of functioning not due to physical problems are drugged into manageability. The people who deal with them day to day will vary from true angels to the uselessly educated to psychopaths.
My experience at the Philadelphia State Hospital was that those too brain-damaged to "respect authority" were shipped to a hospital for the criminally insane, where their life expectancy was six months.
We may not want to allow the signatures of any two MDs again to suffice for involuntary commitment, but urban crisis is going to force hard choices. Hopefully we will not avert our gaze, and at least be aware of what we are doing.

Ever notice the similarity between “assisted living for old folks and mental institutions? Just a place to put people that are disruptive to society, especially families, until they die. What do we do with disruptive criminal types? Prison. What do we do with disruptive pets or wild animals?
Imagine having black orderlies like in the movie. Of course you would grow to hate them. They hated you from the get go.
If you refuse to research and discuss the Khazarian mafia, then questions like " who-or-whatever actually directs this action" will remain unanswered. This is a "keep America divided" Machiavellian agenda and we know one country that seems to benefit most from this and the distractions, keep coming.
Khazars actually disappeared in 1079. You’ll have to find another scapegoat.
Nobody here but us chickens!
You again, another sayanim. Modern day KM are your Rothschild banking war-cartel. And you are sayanim 100% so go ahead and admit it now and feck off.
And there it is the absolute refusal to actually discuss anything.
Believe what I say or feck off.
If you had any idea how to research properly, you would be amazed at how silly you sound.
