"There are so many disgusting animals in public life that we have allowed to fraternize with the rest of society to our absolute peril." Aimee Terese on "X"
The sooner Harvard and places like it become derided and mocked, the better off we all will be.
I'm tired of places like the USSC, the State Department, and corporate board rooms being run by Harvard grads. It's lopsided power that needs to be leveled.
I once designed and managed a leadership potential assessment program at a large chemical company. most assessed were chemistry, chem eng majors in first 5-7 years of their careers. this was real-time, in person assessments. highly valid predictor of leadership success later in career. I secretly kept track of how the Harvard MBA's did. I forget why. anyway, they were no different than everyone else in terms of demonstrable leadership traits. Harvard MBA is greatest marketing coup in history.
I also used to work for a very large, global chemical company (Dow) and knew from fairly early on that the company seemed to be really impressed with MBA grads and really like ones from Harvard. I worked for a Harvard MBA whose undergraduate degree was in Electrical Engineering and the MBA from Harvard. HIs first job was in a position where he was set up to succeed and had mentors to help him along. He was transferred to the Pacific Area and according to the people I knew in HK and Spore I learned he was an arrogant disaster and pissed off a lot of important customers before the company decided to send him back to the US. As you probably can tell I was never overly impressed with many of the MBA grads because they were set up to succeed and most of them thought they should be the CEO by the time they were 35 and held no long term allegiance to the company even tho the management bent over backwards to cater to them. But..... I was blessed to work for the company and went a lot further than a poor white boy from Ohio ever expected and got to meet a lot of great people all over the world as customers and as co-workers.
10/03/25 Wonderful story; thank you. My only encounter with a Harvard grad was in the basement of 61 Broadway (NYC), the securities vault operation for State Street Bank & Trust (which ran everything on a shoe-string. 1986-87). Chaos, almost every single day. He could not have been more down to earth and helpful. I wonder what ever happened to him.

Speaking of "astrologasters" (!!!), let's see Chuck "Outdoor Patio Hamburger Assassin" Schumer get his t*ts caught in the wringer...
"Chuck, hunker down in the bunker on October 11, 12, 18 and 21, 2025.

"It's so crazy now, Ilhan Omar wants to marry you, and you aren't even her brother."
It was sad to see that Trump came to some agreement with Harvard. All of the "Ivy League" schools need to be shut down. No college or university should be allowed to exist unless it is affiliated with a real, Christian church. Divorced from this affiliation, they will always turn into the cesspools that they have become. My alma mater was founded by the Baptist church in the 1820's. At the entrance to the school, there was a stone monument that said "A Christian college of liberal arts." In the 1980's, they sandblasted this off. The last three presidents have been two feminist women and a far-left Jew.
Yeah, they should stick to running Daughters of the American Revolution, Daughters of the Confederacy, and the knitting circle. Anything above that is bound to turn out bad.
Seriously. There are few women that manage to make it to the top and keep their senses, but, rarely do we hear about them. Women usually end up like Liz Cheney, Pocahontas from Massachusetts or that idiot CEO at Cracker Barrell. They are just too damned emotional and illogical to be leaders. They can't say "no" to the nonsense, won't put the idiots in their places, and desire only to appease the opposition. Just check out any school board populated by the "fairer sex" and you'll see that the school district supports drag queen story hours and gay porn in the school library.
Yes, because the type of women that are attracted to positions of power are usually vicious. Male attorneys were always gentlemen to me in my career, women, usually unpleasant and dictatorial.
Both the Declaration of Independence (in tone) and the Bill of Rights (in supreme law) are non-denominational. It doesn't matter if the citizens at time were 100% Christian. And those two documents are still very much de facto America.
Yes, that’s the problem. Godless communists have taken over our education systems. Same with all of the big endowments and trusts. They’ve all been flipped over and are funding the exact opposite of what their original mission statements.
Penn was the first non-chirch affiliated college, although Anglicans ran it for most of the 18th century. The football team is called the Quakers, though, and it has active student religious organization buildings on campus.
George Whitefield, aprominent Anglican preacher, helped found the school, but his statue was removed from the freshman quad when his connection with slavery was discovered.
"No college or university should be allowed to exist unless it is affiliated with a real, Christian church...The last three presidents have been two feminist women and a far-left Jew." Yeshiva University is doing much better for America than many schools led by far-left Christians.
RD3, see my post below. A detailed explanation of the annual costs to attend Harvard and the immense size of their "endowment." People pay it because they WANT to go there even though their endowment is large enough that each student could attend that University tuition free on the interest that endowment earns alone. Doesn't matter. They charge those rates because the suckers will come and pay it. They'll get into debt that they can never repay because they WANT to go there.
Just another failure of American society. Our greatest Universities are cesspools or rot, decadence, decay and perversion saddling our youth with massive debt and useless degrees that can't do diddly with. Goddamn, how I love the American system!
Attending Harvard isn't about education, its about the connections it affords you. My cousin went there and immediately into a defense contractor where he makes over $1 million per year.
My brother could have gone to Harvard, but on his visit he found the people insufferably arrogant and unserious (no doubt because they had it made due to being Harvard students). He didn't go there for those reasons. OTOH, when I was in grad school down South I was once allowed into a hot club without having to pay the cover charge simply for wearing a Harvard shirt.
It's the same as owning a Porsche or wearing Versace. It's the label that counts. Same as in the UK where "I went to Oxford, don't you know!" gets you into the secret services or any other top job.
The millennials were raised by Gen X to absolutely believe that a college eduction was a requirement to achieve happiness in life. Gen X got it from the Boomers. The result? Out of line tuition, Hugh stadia, lousy made up curricula, student debt that is impossible to service, and a huge group of middle aged and youthful folks that are finding out that they have been duped and blame it on America, the population that have fed them this line of BS ever since they were kids.
America needs about 20-30% of any generation to be higher educated to fill the jobs that need the “smarts”. What happens when 60% of kids go to college? Easy, just look around.
JohnAZ, as a member of Gen X I think you got it wrong, my friend. I was born in 1974 and am a member of Gen X. My brother was born in 1982 and he is considered of the millennial generation. Not all of the millennial generation are born to and raised by Gen Xers. Some of them, many of them, are children of the Baby Boomer generation.
That being said, college is absolutely NOT necessary to achieving success in life. You are exactly spot on in this one.
Thank you James for keeping us up to date with the horrific pandemic of mental illness that has destroyed the west. Any other nation in the world would have these deranged people at least institutionalized, and most Muslim countries would have them killed. We in our western countries glorify and promote the demented into leadership positions, including teaching our indoctrinated and illiterate children. When one questions the demise of the west. Just look at the democrats in office, and that will show you why America has been turned into the biggest freak show in history. Thank God it’s coming to an end 🙏 Thank you President Trump🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
A hundred years ago these kind of whackos would be put in state run hospitals where they can receive the care they need, or be kept out of society.
It's interesting to behold in today's world. If I take a razor blade and slice up my arms and legs, I am immediately determined to be a danger to myself and others and determined to "need" help. Yet, any confused teenager who believes themselves to be in the wrong physical body can go hire a surgeon who uses a knife to cut off penises and breasts. This isn't called self mutilation, this is progressive and affirmation. Makes sense to you?
People go get tattoos, the process of which involves using a sharp needle to inject ink into the dermis below the epidermis forever staining the original color of the skin. This strange behavior has become immensely popular, especially among the "fairer sex" of our species and is applauded as art. How is this any different than my taking up a razor blade to cut my arms? Both are painful. Both leave scars. Both are a form of self mutilation.
We are such a sick society and there is NOBODY out there with the desire, ability or know how to help these poor souls.
Bring back the mental hospitals. We need them. So many people out there need help, desperately and our broken society does nothing. We put them on the street and then tell them to go away when they try to live in our parks and open spaces.
Yes sir! The problem has always been the democrat party. They constantly push the false narrative to the most ignorant and mentally unstable of our society. Those who control the party of mental illness are extremely deranged, but much more educated than their constituents. That truth and fact is in every democrat run city. Again, the inmates running the asylum. The crime, and insanity that is accepted in these most corrupt cities is on the level of self mutilation. Self destruction, self loathing. Unfortunately this mental illness carries over into our society and causes the murder, crime, mayhem and suffering that we all suffer. It’s up to us now to support those leaders who denounce this injustice and help fight against the poisonous/deranged leftist that have destroyed the minds and lives of millions…
There have always been freaks, folks that just do not fit. It is basic statistics. So why the explosion of freaks today? My vote is that being a freak has become popular. It is a huge group of people that have figured out they gat get away with the government taking care of them by acting as they do. Freakiness is a subset of the Gimme situation. Animals will do anything for a person who feeds and takes care of them. Is this behavior among the Gimmes any different?
I think the explosion of freaks has everything to do with the advent and explosion of social media. It's all about clicks and popularity today and in order to get clicks in a society that is over saturated with mental stimulation, people have to get more and more freakish to be noticed by the over stimulated masses of phone gazing zombies. It's all about "look at me" and "like me."
Edward Gibbon nailed it in Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. He described late Roman, Byzantine art as "freakishness masquerading as originality". Dying your hair pink, transitioning or covering yourself in tats makes you think you're being original. You're not; you're just being a freak.
State-run mental hospitals were mostly degrading storage bins for people whose minds were seriously malfunctioning. Or in some cases, places to stash inconvenient family members who stood in the way of inheritances. It only took two doctors to certify a person fit to be institutionalized; for well-connected relatives, the two could be rounded up in an afternoon.
A humane revulsion against the reality of abusive psychiatric hospitals was part of the motivation for shutting them down in the '70s and '80s. (There were other, less charitable reasons.) The trouble was, in our short-attention-span culture, few reformers thought about what would become of the poor ex-patients released into a world they couldn't cope with. At most it was thought they could be taken care of in "halfway houses," a high-maintenance and expensive solution that often fell short of being practical.
Yes, the lost souls presently inhabiting our streets, parks, and tent cities need to be re-institutionalized. But in settings far more enlightened than the Bedlams of our shameful past.
As a former worker in state institutions, I applaud this take. Having said that, there's got to be boundaries and limits to everything and that includes compassion. It's no good treating the least among us with endless grants to signal virtue. And it's no good to set them loose to their own devices (more likely lack of devices), to be.preyed upon by drug dealers, perverts and scam artists. I read of an African immigrant afraid of deportation for his role in just such a COVID relief scam using group home residents in his care.
Consider also that politicians are for the most part, failures in life, in economic competition, but have the art of bullshitting down pat. That is why they act as they do.
Imagine that Hugo Chavez old Pineapple face himself a huge proponent of electronic voting machines.
What else does one need to see to know they are bad?
You can see the Democrats licking their lips in anticipation of getting the house and senate back so they can start impeaching Trump over and over for crimes DEMOCRATS HAVE ACTUALLY DONE.
Please go back to paper ballots, same day voting only, enable voter id and the old India ink on the index finger Iraqi style so people can't vote over and over.
Once again, I say Queer marriage was never about anything but money, normalizing queers and getting at the children this vulgarity is on display mocking women.
I'm not talking about two guys/gals quietly living their lives but the in your face were queer and we are here types.
Looking at the "money" aspect of things is generally no longer relevant. Institutions, corporations, etc. can get all the fake money they want. Its created out of thin air with nothing to back it. The real purpose of these organizations is to destroy the remaining elements of Christendom.
No the original case that legalized this farce for queer marriage was about being able to transfer private wealth without the huge tax burden and medical insurance.
The argument was it's unconstitutional to tax them at a different level than man and wife.
The other aspect that bothered me is the term marriage call it a civil union as it is not a marriage in traditional aspects of man women.
A civil union satisfies many aspects including the idea that it can be between anyone who chooses to engage in one.
Multiple partners as in Mormons or Muslims.
If we are hurtling down to the depths of hell and depravity at light speed how was this missed?
Remember... doctors make a lot of money off of gays, especially gay men who are wildly promiscuous. Promiscuity can lead to frequent STIs, which means lots of doctor visits. That turns into a damaged immune system, and constant doctor visits. Cha-ching.
As for doctors who do "sex changes" or whatever they're called now, that's the holy grail. Patients for Life. Hormones and doctor visits forever.
BUT, Ben, it is when the Queers distort the kids in the education system to grow their numbers and convince everyone that they are normal that bugs the shit out of me. This includes Trans promoters. It is hard enough for a kid to handle puberty without some queer trying to turn you queer.
Nothing paints a picture of how corrupted our nation has become more than the trans and drag queen sickness. The marxists are doing a fine job bringing us down and even electing fellow travelers if not actual communists to high office, including comrade Hussein to the Presidency. Unfortunately, President Trump and his administration has only three years left to turn the ship of state around by cleaning out the garbage that the marxists and useful idiots have been working on for decades. Too many Americans with brains turned to mold-able mush by those pushing and employing fruitcakes like Lawhore and his ilk to instill the idea that there is no truth, only opinion.
"Unfortunately, President Trump and his administration has only three years left to turn the ship of state around"
Your comment has merit but you are missing the bigger picture here, John Galt. Without a willing Congress, President Trump can do nothing more than execution of current laws and sign executive orders that force only the executive department. Only Congress can change the laws, make new laws or eviscerate existing law.
We have a useless Congress in America. So divided down political lines that the useless fuckers we call Senators can't even pass a budget and then fuck with people's lives in a show down over a filibuster. Americans should be seeing red and frothing at the mouth in anger over the colossal failure that is the US Congress instead of pointing fingers at the Chief Executive.
I applaud Mr Trump for some of the efforts he has made thus far, but, he can only do so much and he doesn't have the time or the authority to truly affect necessary changes. That is the reality of our awful situation.
I contend the 17th amendment greatly damaged the institution as devised by the Founders. Senators were to be the state's monitors in DC chosen by the state legislature. Now, outside big money can come in and elect the preferred candidate of outside interests with the interests of the individual state no longer even considered.
Oh man, finally someone who understands. During the original Constitutional Convention there was a fierce debate between the Federalists (Washington, Hamilton, ETC) and the States Rights delegation (Jefferson, Madison, ETC). Ultimately, they came to a compromise. The Federalists got the Presidency. The States Rights people got the Senate. The American Citizen got the House of Representatives. Each had some form of Representation.
After Abe Lincoln overthrew the Constitution of 1788 with his illegal war on the southern states, the door was open to destroying the balance of power between the Federalists, the States and the People. Along comes that sick fucker Woodrow Wilson and bam, suddenly the States have no representation and the Senate becomes nothing more than a bickering club of old has-beens and a glorified House of Representatives. Now the balance is gone. The people have the Senate and the House. The Federalists have everything else.
The States become impotent, nothing more than just administrative jurisdictions. Since then the House and Senate no longer represent the people, all of them paid off to campaign contributors and special interests.
"Do they see themselves as monsters who deserve mockery and objurgation?"
Yes. These leftist women hate themselves. That's why they're always blathering about their "whiteness". By pretending their contemptible nature is the result of their skin color, not their actions, they get to offload their guilt onto a whole class of people who, despite wanting to have nothing to do with them, are typically in some way subsidizing their insanity by way of government expenditures.
Imagine being an actual, legitimate, distinguished academic, with a faculty position at Harvard, and finding that you now have the same professional status as Lawhore Vagistan. One can imagine this as a Monty Python sketch of the late seventies, but surely it can’t be part of today’s reality.
It actually isn’t. It’s a manifestation of the Mass Formation Psychosis from which our society is, at long last, beginning to free itself. Those who have gleefully wallowed in this aberrant period have admittedly had us knocked back on our heels. Rather than seem bigoted and intolerant, we have obliged by pretending that this sort of bullshit is okay, if not admirable.
It is past time for us, the reasonably sane, to push back, and reclaim reality as our rightful due. The bolder among us need to condemn and ridicule this sort of thing. Humans are herd animals, and others will follow.
When this miasma has lifted and the atmosphere is again fit to breathe, former sufferers of MFP will shake their heads and wonder, “What the hell was THAT about?”
What really annoys me about the current Leftist sanctioned Drag Queen garbage is that there once were genuine drag geniuses. Charles Ludlum was one of the greatest theater creators ever. I never had the chance to see his Camille, but people I trust, among them my husband and the great Chekov director, Andre Gregory, told me iLudlum surpassed Garbo. And Charles Busch, while not on Ludlum's level, did great performances and plays. And one of my favorite films is Kon Ichikawa's Kabuki turned on its head “An Actor's Revenge.” If you ever have a chance to see it, do — it's perverse, exquisite and genuinely profound. I feel sorry for young people given the Harvard diet of drag. It'd be like telling students that Olive Garden is Italian food.
I respectfully demur. Men pretending to be women for any reason, theatrical or otherwise, has no redeeming value whatsoever. I care not for how well the charade is pulled off; it is a detestable abomination. The only possible exception to the rule is when it is done for comedic purposes, such as in "Some Like It Hot," or even "Mrs. Doubtfire," when we in the audience are "in on the joke." And even then, it should, and usually does make the audience uncomfortable, whether they admit it or deny it for the sake of appearing sophisticated and non-judgmental. To appreciate it as "art" is to demean and degrade art itself. And yes, I am well aware of Greek and Elizabethan theater traditions, where men played female roles, but which was the result of societal bans on women participating at all. That is not comparable to contemporary "drag" which is one step removed from humans dressing/disguising themselves as animals in the soi disant "furry" subculture, publicly portrayed as simple "fun," but which is, in truth, is a means of indulging in deviant sexual behaviors. I apologize if I have offended, but such is my opinion.
I'm not remotely offended and appreciate your comment. Drag, like other art and entertainment forms, has been co-opted by the Left. You say “ Men pretending to be women for any reason, theatrical or otherwise, has no redeeming value whatsoever. I care not for how well the charade is pulled off; it is a detestable abomination.” I say the Left pretending to be in any way about art rather than tyranny is a detestable abomination.
"Men pretending to be women for any reason, theatrical or otherwise, has no redeeming value whatsoever."
I disagree. Unless the behavior/expression is illegal for other reasons (physical assault, etc.), it is a free speech issue and, yes, an education issue. The arguably universal value in it (for others, but in particular Harvard students) is allowing awareness of others' minds -- and, for that reason alone, it cannot be written off as having "no redeeming value".
From Harvard's POV, the normative should never enter into it. The problem I see in this case is that the university (too many all of them) routinely "whore" themselves out for fame, fortune, and of course, woke evangelism. Instead of publicizing it, it should have been completely a sober-minded Harvard-community activity. Then they could have explored, among many other things, the dramatic as well as any psychological aspects Jim alludes to. Instead, it's all showbiz and propaganda, and *that's* the ugly and stupid part for a once-great place like Harvard.
So the idea that the country is going to turn into one gigantic freak show does not bother you because everyone will be practicing Free Speech? Oh my. Freedom, rights, have inherent responsibilities. Where does intelligent protest end and propagandist bullshit begin? Do you want your kids exposed o the filth of these perverts?
"So the idea that the country is going to turn into one gigantic freak show does not bother you because everyone will be practicing Free Speech?"
I didn't say that at all. Quite the opposite.
I said, IOW: that Harvard could, and possibly should, have handled this/these phenomenon/a as a genuine (and neutral) *academic* exercise, rather than as showbiz and propaganda. But it didn't, though, because its current ringleaders obviously have non-academic goals that have higher importance. Ignoring or censoring it is just as bad as promoting it.
The Ancient Greeks often showed men being made fools of by women in their theatre. The Romans absolutely forbade it. They were wiser even if less realistic. Art must serve life not pull it down.
Or at least offer equal opportunity: Produce shows and plays were women are made fools of by men. That's realism too.
Agreed. The biggest problem with this particular case is Harvard's (now normalized) attitude toward it: It's not study, it's dumbing-down promotion, propaganda. Reminds me also of how Sotheby's became an auction house that apparently now sells (in quantity) more sports memorabilia, NFTs, handbags, and watches, than fine art and rare books.
Makes me consider also how now the *real* scholarship, trading, etc. goes on far more today outside the public eye (e.g. corporate labs with unpublished science, off-market networks, surveillance-capitalism controls, private equity, etc.), a major result of the ongoing economic bifurcation occurring in the West.
Why not offer courses on how to be a prostitute? With real life requirements? Many girls do it to get thru college, why not acknowledge them? Nay, honor them?
Studying something is not honoring it. That's one of the big ways the academic establishment lost its way, conflating the normative with the positive. They should have found a way of keeping students conscious of which is which, and knowing how to behave with each. But as the academy was hijacked, the ringleaders have been doing the opposite.
No, but ordinary people can't make this distinction. They study things that they like. And assume if other people are studying something, it's because they like it. More often than not, they're right. Professors are just ordinary people now, even if they have high IQ's.
And in other education news the Superintendent of DeMoines, Iowa Schools, was recently arrested by ICE as an illegal alien, a native of Guyana, who had a removal order issued against him after he was arrested for carrying an illegal weapon in 2022. He led police on a high speed chase and was found to be in possession of another weapon a 9mm pistol. His salary was $300,000 per year, which was based upon his credentials, which turn out to be totally fake. He appears to have been a DEI hire by the DeMoine BoA ... which is headed up by Michelle Obama's Chief of Staff, who is running for the Senate. I always thought of DeMoine as the 'Heartland', but turns out there are 50 different languages spoken in DeMoines public schools, and much of Chicago has been shipped there.
Back in the 90's Des Moines decided it was too white, so they built ghettos and advertised for black welfare loafers from Chicago to come and "enrich" their town. They actually built this housing in order to entice the wastrels to move there, not because it was needed by their native population.
RD3 I vaguely remember in the 90s the NYTimes running a story castigating Des Moines for its lack of 'Black Hairdressers',, food pantries, social workers, special education programs, and Community Centers ... IOW the city had not yet been ghettoized and was still relatively civil.
Well, he's still better t han the Detroit School Board President who was rumored to be a functional illiterate that had a tendency to masturbate when he talked to a certain female co-worker.
As a psychologist friend of mine once explained to me they also resent women because of women's power to destroy their erections which I'm trying to say discreetly here.
Lesbianism isn't really a thing. Hot chicks cosplay as lesbians because some men like to watch hot chicks make out. The real "lesbians" are fat, disgusting women who can't get a guy to fuck them. I have two "lesbians" living next door to me. They were both married to men before and have grown children. When they got fat, their husbands dumped them and they decided they were "lesbians," because they had no other male options. I guess you could say they were wronged by men, to some degree, though I have no real knowledge of their past marriages.
Went fishing in Utah's Uinta mountains a while back. It was a great, beautiful day. Soon, two large women cozied up next to our fishing spot. I immediately sensed something was just a little bit off when they arrived. Then a little black girl popped into the scene. Obviously adopted as the two large women were very white. Soon the clothes came off and the flabs of cellulose was there for all to see due to ill fitting swimwear. The little black girl said something mean to one of the "mommies" and the woman proceed to scorn the little girl about saying rude things and how much she loved her. The two women got into the water and one began to sing praises to the sun.
I packed up my fishing tackle and went and found a different lake to fish at.
Even being lesbians they still can't vanquish their desire to be mothers. I felt so bad for that cute little black girl trying to navigate the perverted reality she was facing and will be facing for years to come.
Likely immensely harder being black in that situation. Can you imagine what she'll go through with other blacks as she gets older? Terrible situation. I know nothing about soccer, but was goaded into coaching a couple years ago because no one else wanted to do it. There was a half black kid on my team with two effeminate white "dads." I felt bad for the kid and I since learned that they split up, with one of the guys moving far away and completely abandoning the kid.
This Soviet-era, Weimar Republic-esq, debaucherous rot has been slithering into our education system for decades-- purposfully. Recommended read: Yuri Bezemov's "Love Letter To America" (under the pen name of Tomas Schuman). Life is NOT a cabaret, my friend. It's a George Orwell novel.
You nailed it again, Jim. If I can be forgiven the outrageous cheek of quoting myself, here's a thematic riff from 2022:
Universities have devolved from being pillars of sense upholding civilization to collapsing shafts of nonsense undermining it. Especially in the liberal arts and softer social “sciences,” academia has been a howling vortex of meaninglessness for so long that one wonders why anyone would enter those fields unless motivated by either masochism or revenge—or, most likely, by covetousness for some plum sinecure in the vast bureaucratic bloat of woke-to-the-point-of-broke universities, government agencies, and corporations.
Whether ironically or inevitably, unhappiness has been percolating upward. The more formally educated—or more accurately, indoctrinated—people have become, the more they have been continually assailed by ideologies flying in the face of common sense and the most basic time-tested truths. And many inmates of these academic asylums—whether students, professors, or administrators—though surely smelling that much academic output is woeful bullshit (and, in fact, toxic bullshit), must keep mum or lose their precarious standing on campus—or indeed, lose their entire careers and futures.
Hence, at outrageous cost—both in terms of tuition and menticide—we are training generations of sloppy and unfree thinkers to exalt feelings over facts; to recite ovine catechisms of oppression (“Four legs good, two legs bad”); and to accept uncritically the ludicrous mantras that up is down and down is up. Few to none dare utter a word of dissent, though some may still want to. The silence is chilling—and killing. We recall Milosz: “In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.”

In 2020 Penn English Dept. banned Shakespeare from its canon and even removed his bust from its campus. Faulkner, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Melville, Wasington Irving were also unceremoniously banished. They were replaced by 3rd World Identiry authors, not one of which I'd ever heard of. Not to be outdone, Princeton eliminated its entire Classics Dept.
Yes, leave such things in the margins where those inclined can sample them in relative privacy. Or as I once read in a Playboy cartoon: 'Put sex education back in the gutter where it belongs'.
Well, you could ask the Democrats why they didn’t, but that just reminds the Leftists that it’s not the POTUS and that destroys their claims about Trump,
I think this is great.
It rots Harvard from within.
The sooner Harvard and places like it become derided and mocked, the better off we all will be.

Well done, sir! Way to go!
One advantage of being run by Penn alums like Donald and Elon is that they are not overly impressed by Harvard and its alums' superiority posturing.
Harvard grads look down on Penn like its a community college
Exactly, and cannot hear feedback telling them they have run off the rails.
Like Harvard Grad Peter Hegseth?
You say "alums"...did Donny and Elon ever graduate?
Does it matter?
Not a bit.
See page 21: https://archives.upenn.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/commencement-program-1968.pdf
Donald in 1968. Elon in 1997.
Donald Trump most certainly did graduate from the University of Pennsylvania. He isn't an MBA and that's okay with me!
Madison Avenues creativity sounds intrinsically more valuable than Harvards vaunted curriculums.
descent into decadence!
It was sad to see that Trump came to some agreement with Harvard. All of the "Ivy League" schools need to be shut down. No college or university should be allowed to exist unless it is affiliated with a real, Christian church. Divorced from this affiliation, they will always turn into the cesspools that they have become. My alma mater was founded by the Baptist church in the 1820's. At the entrance to the school, there was a stone monument that said "A Christian college of liberal arts." In the 1980's, they sandblasted this off. The last three presidents have been two feminist women and a far-left Jew.
Women in leadership positions.....rarely does it turn out well. They tend to run institutions into the ground with their mental disorders.
Yeah, they should stick to running Daughters of the American Revolution, Daughters of the Confederacy, and the knitting circle. Anything above that is bound to turn out bad.
Seriously. There are few women that manage to make it to the top and keep their senses, but, rarely do we hear about them. Women usually end up like Liz Cheney, Pocahontas from Massachusetts or that idiot CEO at Cracker Barrell. They are just too damned emotional and illogical to be leaders. They can't say "no" to the nonsense, won't put the idiots in their places, and desire only to appease the opposition. Just check out any school board populated by the "fairer sex" and you'll see that the school district supports drag queen story hours and gay porn in the school library.
Running them into the ground too.
Yes, because the type of women that are attracted to positions of power are usually vicious. Male attorneys were always gentlemen to me in my career, women, usually unpleasant and dictatorial.
Believe me, if you look across the Christian denomination landscape, most of them are as goofy as any of the Ivies.
Back when they were founded, back when Biblical orthodoxy was a thing, yes. Today, no.
"No college or university should be allowed to exist unless it is affiliated with a real, Christian church."
I see the (small-n) native Americans are turning into non-Americans before our very eyes. Or maybe it's that they are revealing that they never were.
Settle down boys!
The original White or Native Americans were Christian. So you comment is senseless.
Both the Declaration of Independence (in tone) and the Bill of Rights (in supreme law) are non-denominational. It doesn't matter if the citizens at time were 100% Christian. And those two documents are still very much de facto America.
I believe most, if not all, of those Ivy League schools were founded by Christians or preachers.
Yes. I'm aware. They were divinity schools. They haven't been meaningfully affiliated with churches in a long time.
Yes, that’s the problem. Godless communists have taken over our education systems. Same with all of the big endowments and trusts. They’ve all been flipped over and are funding the exact opposite of what their original mission statements.
Penn was the first non-chirch affiliated college, although Anglicans ran it for most of the 18th century. The football team is called the Quakers, though, and it has active student religious organization buildings on campus.
George Whitefield, aprominent Anglican preacher, helped found the school, but his statue was removed from the freshman quad when his connection with slavery was discovered.
"No college or university should be allowed to exist unless it is affiliated with a real, Christian church...The last three presidents have been two feminist women and a far-left Jew." Yeshiva University is doing much better for America than many schools led by far-left Christians.
I don't think its rot, its more like calcification. Harvard isn't going anywhere unless there is a concerted intention to destroy it.
RD3, see my post below. A detailed explanation of the annual costs to attend Harvard and the immense size of their "endowment." People pay it because they WANT to go there even though their endowment is large enough that each student could attend that University tuition free on the interest that endowment earns alone. Doesn't matter. They charge those rates because the suckers will come and pay it. They'll get into debt that they can never repay because they WANT to go there.
Just another failure of American society. Our greatest Universities are cesspools or rot, decadence, decay and perversion saddling our youth with massive debt and useless degrees that can't do diddly with. Goddamn, how I love the American system!
Attending Harvard isn't about education, its about the connections it affords you. My cousin went there and immediately into a defense contractor where he makes over $1 million per year.
Exactly so. It's an entree to the elite crowd. Education is secondary.
My brother could have gone to Harvard, but on his visit he found the people insufferably arrogant and unserious (no doubt because they had it made due to being Harvard students). He didn't go there for those reasons. OTOH, when I was in grad school down South I was once allowed into a hot club without having to pay the cover charge simply for wearing a Harvard shirt.
Damn! Like I said, there is a reason why people want to go there. You elucidate that quite well :)
It's the same as owning a Porsche or wearing Versace. It's the label that counts. Same as in the UK where "I went to Oxford, don't you know!" gets you into the secret services or any other top job.
The millennials were raised by Gen X to absolutely believe that a college eduction was a requirement to achieve happiness in life. Gen X got it from the Boomers. The result? Out of line tuition, Hugh stadia, lousy made up curricula, student debt that is impossible to service, and a huge group of middle aged and youthful folks that are finding out that they have been duped and blame it on America, the population that have fed them this line of BS ever since they were kids.
America needs about 20-30% of any generation to be higher educated to fill the jobs that need the “smarts”. What happens when 60% of kids go to college? Easy, just look around.
JohnAZ, as a member of Gen X I think you got it wrong, my friend. I was born in 1974 and am a member of Gen X. My brother was born in 1982 and he is considered of the millennial generation. Not all of the millennial generation are born to and raised by Gen Xers. Some of them, many of them, are children of the Baby Boomer generation.
That being said, college is absolutely NOT necessary to achieving success in life. You are exactly spot on in this one.

Thank you James for keeping us up to date with the horrific pandemic of mental illness that has destroyed the west. Any other nation in the world would have these deranged people at least institutionalized, and most Muslim countries would have them killed. We in our western countries glorify and promote the demented into leadership positions, including teaching our indoctrinated and illiterate children. When one questions the demise of the west. Just look at the democrats in office, and that will show you why America has been turned into the biggest freak show in history. Thank God it’s coming to an end 🙏 Thank you President Trump🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
A hundred years ago these kind of whackos would be put in state run hospitals where they can receive the care they need, or be kept out of society.
It's interesting to behold in today's world. If I take a razor blade and slice up my arms and legs, I am immediately determined to be a danger to myself and others and determined to "need" help. Yet, any confused teenager who believes themselves to be in the wrong physical body can go hire a surgeon who uses a knife to cut off penises and breasts. This isn't called self mutilation, this is progressive and affirmation. Makes sense to you?
People go get tattoos, the process of which involves using a sharp needle to inject ink into the dermis below the epidermis forever staining the original color of the skin. This strange behavior has become immensely popular, especially among the "fairer sex" of our species and is applauded as art. How is this any different than my taking up a razor blade to cut my arms? Both are painful. Both leave scars. Both are a form of self mutilation.
We are such a sick society and there is NOBODY out there with the desire, ability or know how to help these poor souls.
Bring back the mental hospitals. We need them. So many people out there need help, desperately and our broken society does nothing. We put them on the street and then tell them to go away when they try to live in our parks and open spaces.
Yes sir! The problem has always been the democrat party. They constantly push the false narrative to the most ignorant and mentally unstable of our society. Those who control the party of mental illness are extremely deranged, but much more educated than their constituents. That truth and fact is in every democrat run city. Again, the inmates running the asylum. The crime, and insanity that is accepted in these most corrupt cities is on the level of self mutilation. Self destruction, self loathing. Unfortunately this mental illness carries over into our society and causes the murder, crime, mayhem and suffering that we all suffer. It’s up to us now to support those leaders who denounce this injustice and help fight against the poisonous/deranged leftist that have destroyed the minds and lives of millions…
There have always been freaks, folks that just do not fit. It is basic statistics. So why the explosion of freaks today? My vote is that being a freak has become popular. It is a huge group of people that have figured out they gat get away with the government taking care of them by acting as they do. Freakiness is a subset of the Gimme situation. Animals will do anything for a person who feeds and takes care of them. Is this behavior among the Gimmes any different?
I think the explosion of freaks has everything to do with the advent and explosion of social media. It's all about clicks and popularity today and in order to get clicks in a society that is over saturated with mental stimulation, people have to get more and more freakish to be noticed by the over stimulated masses of phone gazing zombies. It's all about "look at me" and "like me."
Edward Gibbon nailed it in Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. He described late Roman, Byzantine art as "freakishness masquerading as originality". Dying your hair pink, transitioning or covering yourself in tats makes you think you're being original. You're not; you're just being a freak.
State-run mental hospitals were mostly degrading storage bins for people whose minds were seriously malfunctioning. Or in some cases, places to stash inconvenient family members who stood in the way of inheritances. It only took two doctors to certify a person fit to be institutionalized; for well-connected relatives, the two could be rounded up in an afternoon.
A humane revulsion against the reality of abusive psychiatric hospitals was part of the motivation for shutting them down in the '70s and '80s. (There were other, less charitable reasons.) The trouble was, in our short-attention-span culture, few reformers thought about what would become of the poor ex-patients released into a world they couldn't cope with. At most it was thought they could be taken care of in "halfway houses," a high-maintenance and expensive solution that often fell short of being practical.
Yes, the lost souls presently inhabiting our streets, parks, and tent cities need to be re-institutionalized. But in settings far more enlightened than the Bedlams of our shameful past.
As a former worker in state institutions, I applaud this take. Having said that, there's got to be boundaries and limits to everything and that includes compassion. It's no good treating the least among us with endless grants to signal virtue. And it's no good to set them loose to their own devices (more likely lack of devices), to be.preyed upon by drug dealers, perverts and scam artists. I read of an African immigrant afraid of deportation for his role in just such a COVID relief scam using group home residents in his care.
Couldn’t agree more🙏
You do understand the Peter Principle?
Consider also that politicians are for the most part, failures in life, in economic competition, but have the art of bullshitting down pat. That is why they act as they do.
The political class is called to control the greed heads not be controlled by them. This and only this can be the rule for the nation.
Ha, Lugh, you are always talking about certain groups with lower IQs. I would say that the average IQ in the Deep State is pretty low.
By definition they're smarter than most people. That's why they're on top.

Nothing has been done about the filthy electronic voting machines or mail in ballots.

It’s all gonna be cleaned up brother!
Don't stop at trannies. This is all downstream of the normalization of homosexuality.
Once again, I say Queer marriage was never about anything but money, normalizing queers and getting at the children this vulgarity is on display mocking women.
I'm not talking about two guys/gals quietly living their lives but the in your face were queer and we are here types.
Looking at the "money" aspect of things is generally no longer relevant. Institutions, corporations, etc. can get all the fake money they want. Its created out of thin air with nothing to back it. The real purpose of these organizations is to destroy the remaining elements of Christendom.
No the original case that legalized this farce for queer marriage was about being able to transfer private wealth without the huge tax burden and medical insurance.
The argument was it's unconstitutional to tax them at a different level than man and wife.
The other aspect that bothered me is the term marriage call it a civil union as it is not a marriage in traditional aspects of man women.
A civil union satisfies many aspects including the idea that it can be between anyone who chooses to engage in one.
Multiple partners as in Mormons or Muslims.
If we are hurtling down to the depths of hell and depravity at light speed how was this missed?
No. It's just deviancy and normalization. The same as the argument of "I just want to hold his hand while he's dying of full-blown AIDS."
Agree with Ben, and the ploy began as a way to get Social Security survivor's benefits to pay for AIDS hospital bills.
Remember... doctors make a lot of money off of gays, especially gay men who are wildly promiscuous. Promiscuity can lead to frequent STIs, which means lots of doctor visits. That turns into a damaged immune system, and constant doctor visits. Cha-ching.
As for doctors who do "sex changes" or whatever they're called now, that's the holy grail. Patients for Life. Hormones and doctor visits forever.
Except it turns out to be a much shorter life.
The hormones and drugs are terrible for ones health.
I read that a sex change operation starts at $70,000. STARTS AT!
There are only two choices
- Hide your shame and deviancy in the shadows, never to see the light of day
- Get thrown off a parking garage
BUT, Ben, it is when the Queers distort the kids in the education system to grow their numbers and convince everyone that they are normal that bugs the shit out of me. This includes Trans promoters. It is hard enough for a kid to handle puberty without some queer trying to turn you queer.
Since so many of them screw around on their "partners," marriage seems to be only for the tax breaks.
To be fair that is not just a queer issue.
Yep. I'm old enough to remember "we just want to allowed to do what we do in the privacy of our bedroom"
The bar is always moved and continuities to be moved.
Nothing paints a picture of how corrupted our nation has become more than the trans and drag queen sickness. The marxists are doing a fine job bringing us down and even electing fellow travelers if not actual communists to high office, including comrade Hussein to the Presidency. Unfortunately, President Trump and his administration has only three years left to turn the ship of state around by cleaning out the garbage that the marxists and useful idiots have been working on for decades. Too many Americans with brains turned to mold-able mush by those pushing and employing fruitcakes like Lawhore and his ilk to instill the idea that there is no truth, only opinion.
"Unfortunately, President Trump and his administration has only three years left to turn the ship of state around"
Your comment has merit but you are missing the bigger picture here, John Galt. Without a willing Congress, President Trump can do nothing more than execution of current laws and sign executive orders that force only the executive department. Only Congress can change the laws, make new laws or eviscerate existing law.
We have a useless Congress in America. So divided down political lines that the useless fuckers we call Senators can't even pass a budget and then fuck with people's lives in a show down over a filibuster. Americans should be seeing red and frothing at the mouth in anger over the colossal failure that is the US Congress instead of pointing fingers at the Chief Executive.
I applaud Mr Trump for some of the efforts he has made thus far, but, he can only do so much and he doesn't have the time or the authority to truly affect necessary changes. That is the reality of our awful situation.
Congress is to blame. Period.
I contend the 17th amendment greatly damaged the institution as devised by the Founders. Senators were to be the state's monitors in DC chosen by the state legislature. Now, outside big money can come in and elect the preferred candidate of outside interests with the interests of the individual state no longer even considered.
Oh man, finally someone who understands. During the original Constitutional Convention there was a fierce debate between the Federalists (Washington, Hamilton, ETC) and the States Rights delegation (Jefferson, Madison, ETC). Ultimately, they came to a compromise. The Federalists got the Presidency. The States Rights people got the Senate. The American Citizen got the House of Representatives. Each had some form of Representation.
After Abe Lincoln overthrew the Constitution of 1788 with his illegal war on the southern states, the door was open to destroying the balance of power between the Federalists, the States and the People. Along comes that sick fucker Woodrow Wilson and bam, suddenly the States have no representation and the Senate becomes nothing more than a bickering club of old has-beens and a glorified House of Representatives. Now the balance is gone. The people have the Senate and the House. The Federalists have everything else.
The States become impotent, nothing more than just administrative jurisdictions. Since then the House and Senate no longer represent the people, all of them paid off to campaign contributors and special interests.
The FEDERALISTS won! Obviously.
Herr Hegseth must keep Trump in power until the Unending Emergency is over and the Aeon is born.

"Do they see themselves as monsters who deserve mockery and objurgation?"
Yes. These leftist women hate themselves. That's why they're always blathering about their "whiteness". By pretending their contemptible nature is the result of their skin color, not their actions, they get to offload their guilt onto a whole class of people who, despite wanting to have nothing to do with them, are typically in some way subsidizing their insanity by way of government expenditures.
Probably why they get themselves all pierce and tatted up as well.
Yes, a religion without redemption. Its only plus is that of supposed moral superiority to Whites and Christians.
I watched Vagistan on the news last night. How could this class possibly be given for credit?
It’s what happens when the inmates run the asylum 🤔
with the blessing of the warden
Some wardens are good, others are corrupt. Pretty much depends on the party they follow…
Joan,
I graduated college 25 years ago and it was going on then.
Imagine being an actual, legitimate, distinguished academic, with a faculty position at Harvard, and finding that you now have the same professional status as Lawhore Vagistan. One can imagine this as a Monty Python sketch of the late seventies, but surely it can’t be part of today’s reality.
It actually isn’t. It’s a manifestation of the Mass Formation Psychosis from which our society is, at long last, beginning to free itself. Those who have gleefully wallowed in this aberrant period have admittedly had us knocked back on our heels. Rather than seem bigoted and intolerant, we have obliged by pretending that this sort of bullshit is okay, if not admirable.
It is past time for us, the reasonably sane, to push back, and reclaim reality as our rightful due. The bolder among us need to condemn and ridicule this sort of thing. Humans are herd animals, and others will follow.
When this miasma has lifted and the atmosphere is again fit to breathe, former sufferers of MFP will shake their heads and wonder, “What the hell was THAT about?”
I wonder what the feelings of Joe Average Harvard alums are?
What really annoys me about the current Leftist sanctioned Drag Queen garbage is that there once were genuine drag geniuses. Charles Ludlum was one of the greatest theater creators ever. I never had the chance to see his Camille, but people I trust, among them my husband and the great Chekov director, Andre Gregory, told me iLudlum surpassed Garbo. And Charles Busch, while not on Ludlum's level, did great performances and plays. And one of my favorite films is Kon Ichikawa's Kabuki turned on its head “An Actor's Revenge.” If you ever have a chance to see it, do — it's perverse, exquisite and genuinely profound. I feel sorry for young people given the Harvard diet of drag. It'd be like telling students that Olive Garden is Italian food.
I respectfully demur. Men pretending to be women for any reason, theatrical or otherwise, has no redeeming value whatsoever. I care not for how well the charade is pulled off; it is a detestable abomination. The only possible exception to the rule is when it is done for comedic purposes, such as in "Some Like It Hot," or even "Mrs. Doubtfire," when we in the audience are "in on the joke." And even then, it should, and usually does make the audience uncomfortable, whether they admit it or deny it for the sake of appearing sophisticated and non-judgmental. To appreciate it as "art" is to demean and degrade art itself. And yes, I am well aware of Greek and Elizabethan theater traditions, where men played female roles, but which was the result of societal bans on women participating at all. That is not comparable to contemporary "drag" which is one step removed from humans dressing/disguising themselves as animals in the soi disant "furry" subculture, publicly portrayed as simple "fun," but which is, in truth, is a means of indulging in deviant sexual behaviors. I apologize if I have offended, but such is my opinion.
I'm not remotely offended and appreciate your comment. Drag, like other art and entertainment forms, has been co-opted by the Left. You say “ Men pretending to be women for any reason, theatrical or otherwise, has no redeeming value whatsoever. I care not for how well the charade is pulled off; it is a detestable abomination.” I say the Left pretending to be in any way about art rather than tyranny is a detestable abomination.
Smooth, Polly. Maybe I *will* subscribe. :)
Thank you! But please do not pay. I'm doing it for free.
Lest we forget in Shakespearean times it was illegal for women to be in plays.
I suspect some very small aspect of it is a nod to those times.
“I suspect some very small aspect of it is a nod to those times.”
…At least that’s part of the story and they’re stickin’ with it.
"Men pretending to be women for any reason, theatrical or otherwise, has no redeeming value whatsoever."
I disagree. Unless the behavior/expression is illegal for other reasons (physical assault, etc.), it is a free speech issue and, yes, an education issue. The arguably universal value in it (for others, but in particular Harvard students) is allowing awareness of others' minds -- and, for that reason alone, it cannot be written off as having "no redeeming value".
From Harvard's POV, the normative should never enter into it. The problem I see in this case is that the university (too many all of them) routinely "whore" themselves out for fame, fortune, and of course, woke evangelism. Instead of publicizing it, it should have been completely a sober-minded Harvard-community activity. Then they could have explored, among many other things, the dramatic as well as any psychological aspects Jim alludes to. Instead, it's all showbiz and propaganda, and *that's* the ugly and stupid part for a once-great place like Harvard.
So the idea that the country is going to turn into one gigantic freak show does not bother you because everyone will be practicing Free Speech? Oh my. Freedom, rights, have inherent responsibilities. Where does intelligent protest end and propagandist bullshit begin? Do you want your kids exposed o the filth of these perverts?
"So the idea that the country is going to turn into one gigantic freak show does not bother you because everyone will be practicing Free Speech?"
I didn't say that at all. Quite the opposite.
I said, IOW: that Harvard could, and possibly should, have handled this/these phenomenon/a as a genuine (and neutral) *academic* exercise, rather than as showbiz and propaganda. But it didn't, though, because its current ringleaders obviously have non-academic goals that have higher importance. Ignoring or censoring it is just as bad as promoting it.
The Ancient Greeks often showed men being made fools of by women in their theatre. The Romans absolutely forbade it. They were wiser even if less realistic. Art must serve life not pull it down.
Or at least offer equal opportunity: Produce shows and plays were women are made fools of by men. That's realism too.
Most tv shows have a hot, smart, hard-working wife and a slovenly, dumb husband.
So... drag done for "comedy."
It's been going on for ages.
Is it comedy or was it the start of normalizing drag?
Corruption is ancient, therefore worthy?
Agreed. The biggest problem with this particular case is Harvard's (now normalized) attitude toward it: It's not study, it's dumbing-down promotion, propaganda. Reminds me also of how Sotheby's became an auction house that apparently now sells (in quantity) more sports memorabilia, NFTs, handbags, and watches, than fine art and rare books.
Makes me consider also how now the *real* scholarship, trading, etc. goes on far more today outside the public eye (e.g. corporate labs with unpublished science, off-market networks, surveillance-capitalism controls, private equity, etc.), a major result of the ongoing economic bifurcation occurring in the West.
Why not offer courses on how to be a prostitute? With real life requirements? Many girls do it to get thru college, why not acknowledge them? Nay, honor them?
Studying something is not honoring it. That's one of the big ways the academic establishment lost its way, conflating the normative with the positive. They should have found a way of keeping students conscious of which is which, and knowing how to behave with each. But as the academy was hijacked, the ringleaders have been doing the opposite.
No, but ordinary people can't make this distinction. They study things that they like. And assume if other people are studying something, it's because they like it. More often than not, they're right. Professors are just ordinary people now, even if they have high IQ's.
And in other education news the Superintendent of DeMoines, Iowa Schools, was recently arrested by ICE as an illegal alien, a native of Guyana, who had a removal order issued against him after he was arrested for carrying an illegal weapon in 2022. He led police on a high speed chase and was found to be in possession of another weapon a 9mm pistol. His salary was $300,000 per year, which was based upon his credentials, which turn out to be totally fake. He appears to have been a DEI hire by the DeMoine BoA ... which is headed up by Michelle Obama's Chief of Staff, who is running for the Senate. I always thought of DeMoine as the 'Heartland', but turns out there are 50 different languages spoken in DeMoines public schools, and much of Chicago has been shipped there.
Back in the 90's Des Moines decided it was too white, so they built ghettos and advertised for black welfare loafers from Chicago to come and "enrich" their town. They actually built this housing in order to entice the wastrels to move there, not because it was needed by their native population.
RD3 I vaguely remember in the 90s the NYTimes running a story castigating Des Moines for its lack of 'Black Hairdressers',, food pantries, social workers, special education programs, and Community Centers ... IOW the city had not yet been ghettoized and was still relatively civil.
Not surprised, but let's define "they"...
Was that under Obama's "your neighborhood is too white" program?
The latter building.

Mental illness should not be celebrated. End of.

They do this because they hate women and find them disgusting. At the heart of homosexuality is a hatred and/or revulsion of women and their bodies.
As a psychologist friend of mine once explained to me they also resent women because of women's power to destroy their erections which I'm trying to say discreetly here.
Homosexuality includes lesbianism. The Word of God tells us this perversion arose because men forgot their Creator.
Lesbianism isn't really a thing. Hot chicks cosplay as lesbians because some men like to watch hot chicks make out. The real "lesbians" are fat, disgusting women who can't get a guy to fuck them. I have two "lesbians" living next door to me. They were both married to men before and have grown children. When they got fat, their husbands dumped them and they decided they were "lesbians," because they had no other male options. I guess you could say they were wronged by men, to some degree, though I have no real knowledge of their past marriages.
Went fishing in Utah's Uinta mountains a while back. It was a great, beautiful day. Soon, two large women cozied up next to our fishing spot. I immediately sensed something was just a little bit off when they arrived. Then a little black girl popped into the scene. Obviously adopted as the two large women were very white. Soon the clothes came off and the flabs of cellulose was there for all to see due to ill fitting swimwear. The little black girl said something mean to one of the "mommies" and the woman proceed to scorn the little girl about saying rude things and how much she loved her. The two women got into the water and one began to sing praises to the sun.
I packed up my fishing tackle and went and found a different lake to fish at.
Even being lesbians they still can't vanquish their desire to be mothers. I felt so bad for that cute little black girl trying to navigate the perverted reality she was facing and will be facing for years to come.
You speak truth, RD3.
Likely immensely harder being black in that situation. Can you imagine what she'll go through with other blacks as she gets older? Terrible situation. I know nothing about soccer, but was goaded into coaching a couple years ago because no one else wanted to do it. There was a half black kid on my team with two effeminate white "dads." I felt bad for the kid and I since learned that they split up, with one of the guys moving far away and completely abandoning the kid.
At this point it's like just beam me up already. Ugh.
Tel Aviv is said to be a gay city, outdoing even San Francisco.

This Soviet-era, Weimar Republic-esq, debaucherous rot has been slithering into our education system for decades-- purposfully. Recommended read: Yuri Bezemov's "Love Letter To America" (under the pen name of Tomas Schuman). Life is NOT a cabaret, my friend. It's a George Orwell novel.
And we've been living in it for several decades! Would that several (scifi) novels would have manifested in its stead!
You nailed it again, Jim. If I can be forgiven the outrageous cheek of quoting myself, here's a thematic riff from 2022:
Universities have devolved from being pillars of sense upholding civilization to collapsing shafts of nonsense undermining it. Especially in the liberal arts and softer social “sciences,” academia has been a howling vortex of meaninglessness for so long that one wonders why anyone would enter those fields unless motivated by either masochism or revenge—or, most likely, by covetousness for some plum sinecure in the vast bureaucratic bloat of woke-to-the-point-of-broke universities, government agencies, and corporations.
Whether ironically or inevitably, unhappiness has been percolating upward. The more formally educated—or more accurately, indoctrinated—people have become, the more they have been continually assailed by ideologies flying in the face of common sense and the most basic time-tested truths. And many inmates of these academic asylums—whether students, professors, or administrators—though surely smelling that much academic output is woeful bullshit (and, in fact, toxic bullshit), must keep mum or lose their precarious standing on campus—or indeed, lose their entire careers and futures.
Hence, at outrageous cost—both in terms of tuition and menticide—we are training generations of sloppy and unfree thinkers to exalt feelings over facts; to recite ovine catechisms of oppression (“Four legs good, two legs bad”); and to accept uncritically the ludicrous mantras that up is down and down is up. Few to none dare utter a word of dissent, though some may still want to. The silence is chilling—and killing. We recall Milosz: “In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.”

In 2020 Penn English Dept. banned Shakespeare from its canon and even removed his bust from its campus. Faulkner, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Melville, Wasington Irving were also unceremoniously banished. They were replaced by 3rd World Identiry authors, not one of which I'd ever heard of. Not to be outdone, Princeton eliminated its entire Classics Dept.
Yup. Universities have been used, like the military, as a gigantic socialist experiment.
The socialists are wining.
Until the real shooting starts.
Or Hans Christian Anderson’s ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes.’ Silence amongst his ministers, who feared speaking up.
My daughter though, graduated Harvard Law (2004) loved it and excelled- but perhaps undergraduate is a different experience.
Yes, leave such things in the margins where those inclined can sample them in relative privacy. Or as I once read in a Playboy cartoon: 'Put sex education back in the gutter where it belongs'.
Is the goal of sex education to train young minds about healthy attitudes about love, sex and relationships, or to create new perverts? I am not sure.
The answer seems to me me that Satan has become very desperate lately and is doubling down on destroying souls and lives
Your TDS has consumed your grey matter and you didn’t have enough to start with
Well, you could ask the Democrats why they didn’t, but that just reminds the Leftists that it’s not the POTUS and that destroys their claims about Trump,
Nah, just delegated to the Ult-Left group of perverts.
They are the easiest prey, they are mostly soulless already
Maybe if Congress would actually release the full Epstein Files, we could find out for sure who the rapists were.
