The End Approaches

Simplicius considers the implications of Russia putting the unelected dictator of the Kiev regime on its wanted list: One of the other interesting things in Simplicius’s article is a reference to Russian prisoners being held by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. First, the prisoner ratio is 3.45:1, which implies that the Ukrainian casualties over the course […]

🇮🇱 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said pressure from other countries' leaders will not stop his country's attempts to defend itself.

He noted that “if Israel is forced to stand alone, Israel will stand alone.”

Adam and Eve were the original Boomers of the Human Race.

Think on it.
Nobody ever had it better than they did. They were created in literal Eden. And nobody ever purposefully screwed up and left such a massive debt to their own progeny.

They caused sin and Death to enter the world.

The story of the Fall in Genesis is Boomerfication of the Human Race beyond any Gen X, Millenial or Gen Zs worst fantasies. Christ saved those hippies from Hades. That's how much He loves His creation. He loves us enough to die and get the Boomers out of Hell.

Really makes you think.

How Genghis Khan’s MITTENS Strangled Darwin

One of the reasons I occasionally find it profitable to engage with anklebiters is that they help me get a handle on what I need to do to bridge the communication gap with normal individuals. No offense, but I often can’t tell the difference between the average midwit and the average retard, or determine precisely […]

Joe Biden is now being surrounded by handlers when moving around in front of the press in a desperate effort to disguise the fact that he can’t walk properly.

When you've lost longtime columnist, Michael Shermer, because you're too woke, you know it's bad.
"At the same time, SciAm dramatically ramped up its social-justice coverage. The magazine would soon publish a flurry of articles with noscripts such as “Modern Mathematics Confronts Its White, Patriarchal Past” and “The Racist Roots of Fighting Obesity.” The death of the twentieth century’s most acclaimed biologist was the hook for “The Complicated Legacy of E. O. Wilson,” an opinion piece arguing that Wilson’s work was “based on racist ideas,” without quoting a single line from his large published canon. At least those pieces had some connection to scientific topics, though. In 2021, SciAm published an opinion essay, “Why the Term ‘JEDI’ Is Problematic for Describing Programs That Promote Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.” The article’s five authors took issue with the effort by some social-justice advocates to create a cute new label while expanding the DEI acronym to include “Justice.” The Jedi knights of the Star Wars movies are “inappropriate mascots for social justice,” the authors argued, because they are “prone to (white) saviorism and toxically masculine approaches to conflict resolution (violent duels with phallic light sabers, gaslighting by means of ‘Jedi mind tricks,’ etc.).” What all this had to do with science was anyone’s guess."

"Compared to men, women are less pro-free speech and more pro-censorship. Within academia itself, they are more left-wing, more inclined toward activism, and less inclined toward dispassionate inquiry. And they’re disproportionately represented in disciplines like Race and Gender Studies. It’s important to note, of course, that this is Not All Women! I’m only talking about averages: some men are pro-censorship than most women; and some women are more pro-free speech than the vast majority of men. Nonetheless, the differences do exist (at least in the Anglosphere)."

🇺🇲 There are rumors among US Democrats that at the convention in August 2024, Biden will “make a grand gesture” and withdraw his candidacy from the presidential election.

According to Der Spiegel, he will propose to nominate former first lady Michelle Obama instead.

This possibility is being discussed so seriously in Washington that the Democratic Party included Michelle Obama in its public opinion polls, the newspaper notes.

The American media wrote back in September that many supporters of the US Democratic Party would like to see Michelle Obama as a candidate.
