Fighting Communism

1. Over the past couple of years, polls have shown younger voters shifting away from supporting communism and toward supporting Trump. And why is that? Oh, a few things work wonders for waking people up to reality. For these younger people those things include being forced to work two jobs just to stay afloat, unaffordable housing, job immobility, increasing personal debt with seemingly no way out, gasoline up 50%, the specter of being forced to buy a six figure automobile (electric car), the Ukraine War, the huge increase of incivility, government-mandated racism, the career crushing effects of DEI, and a chronically over-reaching government. Brainless tried to toss them an olive branch by transferring student loan debts to other people, but many of those other people are in this age cohort.
    
2. The AG of Missouri has sued NY over Trump censorship!
    
3. Colorado used to be a "red" state. Due to a combination of apathy and incompetence on the part of the Republicans, it became a "blue" state. Due to a combination of lies and more lies on the part of the communists aka "Democrats", it has stayed blue ever since. But lies can do only so much. The residents of the state are reeling from the effects of communism, and many remember the pre-communist days. In particular, the swamping of Denver with illegal aliens has people reaching for the proverbial red pill. In response, the City of Denver is quietly paying to ship illegal aliens to Utah. And the governor of Utah is not happy about it.
    
4. I live very close to the geographical center of the country. Over the past few years, residents here have seen a massive building of apartment complexes. Thousands of new units each, in small town suburbs of Kansas City. What is going on? There are two streams of immigrants to this area:
   1. American citizens fleeing the coastal areas. It's not that those areas are being destroyed by rising water due to global warming. It's that those areas are being destroyed by rising communism.
   2. Illegal aliens being given rent-free abodes at taxpayer expense. The idea is to build a "critical mass" of such people, make them very aware that their paid-for-lifestyle depends on Democrat power, then use the critical mass to empower them with voting privileges. If that plan is allowed to succeed, it is game over for our Constitution because there will be no more elections with which to hold politicians the least bit accountable. As it is, our elections are often neutralized by fraud. But this would be 100% neutralization.
    
5. Something else that happened here is this. Federal judges in Kansas and Missouri put the kabosh on the Brainless theft scheme that would transfer student loan debt from people who stupidly chose useless majors to everyone else. The communists ("Democrats") always have to resort to bribery and/or brainwashing to get votes, because their track record is so awful and no honest person who thinks about it would want what they offer. More theft, more murder, more racism, more hatred, less wealth, less freedom, less civility, more war, more fearmongering, and diminished government services may have appeal to the completely insane, but not to the rest of us. When you stop to consider that this is what's always been on their menu to the exclusion of anything else, you choose a different restaurant.
    
6. The Brainless campaign is not gaining any traction. The long list of spectacular failures is the main reason. Their response is to run dishonest ad hominem attacks against Donald Trump, when instead all they have to do for a big jump in the polls is to secure our southern border. That is the single biggest issue Americans are concerned about.
    
7. One reason Americans are so concerned about the flood of illegal aliens (the number of them coming into our country last year exceeded the number of babies born to American citizens) is the "Democrats" convert them into voters. According to CHQ, it's done this way: "With no signature verification and no citizenship verification a ballot that is created and mailed to an illegal alien that has registered to vote at the same time they were issued a driver’s license – this happens in Michigan, California, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and other states – is available to be harvested. Individual addresses with dozens, even hundreds of “asylum seekers” living there have been reported. When they arrive at these wholesale locations the ballots are collected and voted by Democrat-affiliated ballot harvesting operations."
    
8. The SCOTUS finally dealt a death blow to the 40 year old "Chevron Doctrine", a load of malarkey that allows unelected (and usually unhinged) agency employees interpret federal laws however they want. This has caused severe damage to the Rule of Law, partly because it sets aside the will of the legislature and imposes in its place the tyranny of faceless bureaucracies that are never held accountable. Of course, the Brainless administration, the lamestream media, and other communists are decrying the decision as somehow being bad.
    
9. The SCOTUS gets an A on their report card for this decision also, as summarized by the Epoch Times: "The Supreme Court ruled 6–3 on June 28 in favor of Jan. 6 defendant Joseph Fischer, a former police officer charged under an accounting law after he briefly entered the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The new ruling is expected to make it more difficult for the federal government to prosecute those charged in connection with the Capitol security breach that occurred as Congress was attempting to finalize the 2020 presidential election results."
    
10. The sad display of Brainless Biden on the Communist News Network allegedly "debating" President Trump has caused massive ripples in the communist regimes throughout Europe. There's an adage, "When America catches a cold, the rest of the world gets pneumonia." Just as the coup in 2020 was a major factor in the communist rise to power in Europe, so too is the clear message that Biden won't be POTUS again causing these regimes to fall. Even in France, the sound of freedom can be heard along with the clip clops of the Rule of Law riding into town.
     
11. Nutcase Nancy continues to publish her bald-faced lies. I signed up for her newsletter when she was Speaker of the House, and she never fails to leave me feeling appalled that an actual human being can be so depraved, dishonest, and delusional.
     
12. The communists are focused on false messages disparaging Donald Trump, while their own candidate is an embarrassment in the extreme. If the Republicans focus on Brainless instead of the damage done by the communists generally, the commies just have to switch out at the 11th hour (they can cite medical reasons) for someone like Big Mike.
    
    What many people, including the commies, don't realize is the Republicans can do the same thing. In late October, Trump could cite the terrible things done to him and point out that his life is in imminent danger and he's had enough. Nobody can blame him, his courage thus far has been the kind of stuff that legends are made from. Then he can drop out and someone else can take his place. For example, Ron DeSantis. Or Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (who is being betrayed, censored, and humiliated by the Democratic Party).
    
    And history would record Trump as the man who endured and took all of the abuse so that X (his replacement) wouldn't have to. The commies will claim he's a quitter and a coward, despite the evidence to the contrary. However, I don't think this will happen. I'm just saying that it could.

The C*O*V*I*D* Scam

1. The EU has formally ruled that "the jab" experimental gene therapies were illegally approved: https://x.com/i/status/1802265686766666096
    
2. Let's see: Zero benefit, massive harms including death, and fewer than 5% of the population were at enough risk to justify it. Even with the puffed up numbers via blatant fraud, death from the virus was slightly less than for the typical flu. Ergo, the "cure" was far worse than the disease.
    
3. This video about The Great Reset is just under an hour long. Please watch it, then pass it along to others: https://x.com/SpartaJustice/status/1800316638719361422
    
4. I'm proud to say part of my tax dollars pay for the salary of the Kansas Attorney General. He is suing Pfizer. Watch his statement, here: https://x.com/i/status/1802795861019148599
    
5. In the blue state of Washington, a U.S. Appeals court overturned a lower court's ruling on a clot shot mandate case that required some firefighters and not others to undergo the experimental gene therapy dishonestly referred to as a "vaccine" (despite the fact it had not been tested for safety or efficacy) and despite the fact some of the mandated had already recovered from Covid and thus had natural immunity. This is a big win for civil rights and for national health in general.
    
6. I don't watch television, so did not get exposed to the  many public "service" ads, talk show hosts, and other outlets of hatred saying the c*o*v*i*d "pandemic" was a "pandemic of the unvaxxed" and "nobody is safe until all of us are safe." What ridiculous absurdity. The only way a shot can stop transmission of a respiratory illness is if it results in hermetically sealing the head of the shot recipient. This never happened, else people would have dropped dead from asphyxiation by the millions. But assuming this is true (it has to be for their accusation to be valid), then everyone who received the shot would be protected from transmission and would also not be transmitting. Their own belief that this ineffective medication is effective contradicts their theory that those who didn't take it are a threat to them.
   
   Yet, this stupidity continued to be spewed even after it was proven by empirical means to be pure malarkey--when the planeload of socialist members of the TX legislature fled to DC to prevent a quorum being called. Remember that? None of them tested positive for c*o*v*i*d before making the trip, all of them tested positive not long after having made the trip. Granted, the PCR test has a false positive rate of 81% and the documentation on it specifically says it is not to be used for diagnostic purposes, but the proponents of the jab were PCR believers so they should have at that point just sat down and shut up.
   
   There are still people spewing this nonsense. And they vote. Even worse, there has been no mea culpa from the misinformation spreaders who told this lie about unvaxxed and did us great harm.

Other News

1. The communists hate our Second Amendment almost as much as they hate our First Amendment. For this and other reasons directly related to communist policies, mass shootings have increased 44% during the Brainless administration. The figures come from a leftwing, criminal loving organization (the Gun Violence Archive), which has a vested interest in skewing the data in the other direction. So we know the 44% is understated, probably by half.
    
2. Brainless claims he was the first black woman to serve as Vice President. https://x.com/KimDotcom/status/1809012106341273960
    
3. Brainless and his fellow idiots keep asserting that "saving Ukraine" is the number one concern among Americans. Various independent polls show it's not even in the top ten concerns. Americans are either against this foolishness or don't understand enough about it to object to it. The  number one concern, according to poll after poll is our open borders. To me personally, it's not number one but I do consider it to be very important. The communists are not just "tone deaf", they actually do not care what is important to us. And for that reason alone, we must remove them from power.
    
4. Three years ago, Brainless signed into law a $42 billion broadband plan. It still has not connected a single user to the Internet. This money burn is just one of hundreds of examples of why we have such massive inflation. It dwarfs the $230 million Brainless spent on the Gaza "pier to nowhere".
    
5. A recent McKinsey study showed that nearly half of EV owners in the USA say they are likely to return to gasoline-powered cars. The study didn't say whether these people finally figured out that EVs are far worse for the environment or what the reason was. But it's a significant finding.
    
6. "This year, the sun will reach the solar maximum, a period of peak magnetic activity that occurs approximately once every 11 years. This means more sunspots and more frequent intense solar storms." IEEE Spectrum, June 2024. According to libtard theology, this huge increase in solar energy reaching earth has no effect. According to decades of weather history, it has a profound effect. It's not IC-engine cars that are causing the sun to do this, regardless of Joe Biden's "thoughts" on the issue.
    
7. Porch theft, due to the horrible economy, is very common now. Thieves even compete for packages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61bIeuJlv44 
    
8.  The US Surgeon General has declared "gun violence" an "urgent public health crisis". What an idiot. But then, he was appointed by Brainless so we should expect such idiocy. It's just too much to ask that they set aside their irrational ideology and look at actual data.
    
9. Nutcase Nancy's Congressional District is entirely within the city of Trans Francisco. Nutcase has an army of these deranged, unstable, angry individuals at her disposal. I didn't watch the "debate", but the gist of it from messages I got was that Brainless appeared to be brainless. No surprise there. This "debate" came after the primaries but still awfully early. A great way to document Brainless' "surprise" decent into dementia. Big Mike is trans, and Nutcase has a trans army. You can draw your own conclusions as to who will replace Brainless before the General Election.
    
10. Thanks to Jeff Childers, who publishes Coffee and Covid, for providing these links: https://x.com/w_terrence/status/1806507621932839135 and https://x.com/TJMoe28/status/1806497677443535095
     
11. Here's an analysis of how Brainless' brainlessness got exposed even on the Communist News Network, one hour and fifteen minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V14wzqPOF5k
     
12. "Sharp as a tack": https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1807757765655625890 . This may be what finally brings down the lamestream media. They are mental poison, which is why I have (mostly) ignored them for 40 years. They are always wrong, always lying, and never actually informative. Truth is to them what sunlight is to vampires. And now the truth is coming out.
     
13. Brainless says when he'll beat Trump: https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1809315343212638406
     
14. Brainless: All the evidence, no investigations. Trump: No evidence, all the investigations. Our two-tier justice system at work.

I stopped watching television in 1990. Prior to that, I hadn't been much of a watcher anyhow. I stopped reading newspapers in 1983, though in the early 1990s I subscribed to the Wall Street Journal (a decision made while pursuing my MBA) and in the mid-1990s borrowed a few issues of the New York Times lent to me by a native New Yorker. In the case of the WSJ, they interviewed me for an article and got everything wrong. In the case of the NYT, I was flabbergasted from the very start because the articles were so poorly researched, so overtly biased, and so at odds with reality.

Television and other forms of mass media are like the experimental gene therapy that liars and psychopaths told us was a "vaccine". Zero benefit, and huge harms. You get no actual information, you are subjected to total BS (and thereby become misinformed, which according to Mark Twain is worse than not being informed at all), and the focus is on the negative because negative stories and sensationalism sell. The "news" is about wars, celebrity gossip, political smears, robberies, catastrophes, etc. None of this is uplifting.

I recently underwent surgery for a 2+ year old hernia. I was lying on the pre-op bed, when a nurse offered me an anxiety medication. She said a lot of people start to get really nervous just before the surgery and if I felt anxious I could get the medication. I held up the Reader's Digest and smiled. "No, I'm good. I'm reading this and feeling pretty uplifted right now. And besides, I really like Dr. Langfert and know he's going to do the best possible job. I'm good."

Another nurse came in about 10 minutes later and made the same offer. Just before that, she asked me the same questions I had already been asked many times. What's your name, when were you born, and what are we having done today?" Then she apologized for asking the same questions "that you've probably answered 100 times today." This segued into, "We have an anti-anxiety drug if you need it." I replied that I am a climber, and we do the same checks over and over even though we know everything's OK. I remarked that their thoroughness and rechecking are not new to me at all, and they bring me comfort. I'm good.

 I also did not need pain killers after the surgery.

The preceding anecdote illustrates a few things, but the main one I wanted you to think about is the calming effect of reading things that are intended to uplift you (such as the jokes, stories of courage, etc., in the Reader's Digest) versus allowing yourself to be exposed to "news" that is intended to psychologically damage you.

The psych-ops waged against us 8 billion humans totally depended upon the lamestream media. Without Buttbook, the Communist News Network, YouTube censorship, and all the other Joseph Goebbels kind of stuff it could not have been waged.

Some advice:

• Boycott all lamestream media. Period. They lower your effective IQ but provide nothing in return for that loss.
• Write to YouTube and complain about their censorship.
• Stay informed via actual information sources. These are easy to identify. They contradict the narrative coming from the propaganda resources. Evaluate each of those to determine credibility, and I do not mean simply whether you agree with them or whether you find some tiny, inconsequential error. Give this a fair and honest effort.
   
• Engage in respectful conversation with people who are brainwashed. This helps reduce the echo chamber effect and it prepares these people to actually think for themselves. It also helps YOU to be smarter on the topic because you are teaching.
• When people spew nonsense, ask them for their source. When they say the NYT, CDC, or similar sewer pipe -- reply that it's discredited and ask for a credible source. The goal is to get them to go beyond merely repeating what they have been told.
• To the extent that is practical for you, don't patronize woke companies. Write to them (easy to do from their website) and tell them why you no longer do business with them.

Note that since the Epoch Times is the only national newspaper that isn't 110% devoted to lying, spreading disinformation, and gas lighting its readers, it comes under heavy censorship. I'm gambling this link won't get the newsletter bounced off 95% of servers as does the mention of c*o*v*i*d. We shall see!

What I'm discerning from the escaping noise of the radical left is there is a list of people to hate. Nice to know they don't hate everybody! Here's the list, as near as I can determine:

• Jews
• Catholics
• Baptists
• White males
• Black males who define themselves by their accomplishments instead of their race
• Anyone who isn't 100% aligned with the leftwing echo chambers (thus, moderates, conservatives, and traditional liberals)
• Anyone who hunts or fishes
• People who work out (it's now considered "racist")
• Small business owners
• People who exercise critical thinking skills
• People who aren't racist
• Backers of Title IX
• People who are respectful instead of hysterical
• Anyone who supports the Rule of Law
• People who want fair elections, civil liberties, and/or the separation of powers

I guess I personally deserve a lot of hatred, because I match several of those. My parents were abject failures, apparently. I also have a lot of friends who are Jewish, Catholic, or Baptist plus several very accomplished black friends. Perhaps I will be known by the bad company I keep.

But it really is a problem. It's not that the haters are a few isolated crackpots who keep their hatred inside their own pathetic echo chambers. It's that they have become very vocal and very militant. They "are offended" over things that never happened, aren't happening now, and never will happen.

They bully others while claiming to be victims. They attack our values, our institutions, and our social connections. They warp our language, lie about everything, and insist they are oppressed by (pick from the bulleted list). They infiltrate our school boards, city councils, and other levers of power. Most of them don't work, so they have a lot of free time to devote to acting out--unlike us targets of their hatred, who are typically working long hours to help pay for the trillions of dollars transferred to these haters by the both governments (especially of late, the Brainless administration) and private sector executive morons such as those who embraced DEI (Disrespect, Exclusion, and Ignorance) and/or gave in to extortion from Black Lives Manipulated following George Floyd's fatal drug overdose.

What can we do about this?

1. Recognize the problem. The hatred is real, and it is having deleterious effects on all of us. Instead of minimizing it and hoping it will go away (it won't), decide to help solve it.

2. Recognize the dangers. Among those, physical injury against specific individuals (e.g., mobs trapping Jews in a library or an old man being beaten to death by radical thugs). Stay away from danger spots and devise ways to defend yourself no matter where you are.

3. Recognize their power sources. It's not just the legacy media, but also the cowtowing corporations (e.g., Disney) and elected officials. Boycott the legacy media, boycott the bad corporations and write to them why, provide to elected officials a counterbalance to the lies and intimidation coming from the haters.

4. Remember, each of these hateful individuals was somebody's baby girl or baby boy at one time. They may not act like it, but they are human beings. What they are missing is their humanity, let them see and feel yours. Kindness, respect, patience, and tolerance can go a long way toward helping them to stop objectifying other people and see us as humans.

5. However, if you are physically threatened then IMO you can suspend #4 and do whatever is necessary to protect yourself from harm. That does not include fleeing if another sane person is the target, we must protect each other rather than let them isolate and destroy us one or a few at a time.

What about protecting your mind from this same mental illness? I don't think you have to worry about ending up like that, if you have strong values and have generally tried to live according to them. You just develop a sort of immunity to the psychosis. You have good relationships with good people, and your energy goes there instead of into hating people you really know nothing about. So I don't think there's anything special you need to do to avoid this mental illness.

What you have to worry about is the outsized effect these haters are having on the rest of us. Implement those five steps, and you will be part of the solution.

Some cool climbing  videos: https://youtu.be/s4G0ssyJ3hc https://youtube.com/shorts/5919UDqCXDc https://youtube.com/shorts/jYvKJ9mKyyE My hardest climb ever, a 5.11d on lead: https://youtu.be/UT5h0heUUBc . I made a dumb mistake initially, letting the rope wrap over my shoulder. Watch what happens. The scale: Beginner: 5.6. 5.7. 5.8, 5.9 Intermediate: 5.10a, b, c, d 5.11a, b, c, d Advanced: 5.12a, b, c, d 5.13a, b, c, d. Almost nobody climbs at this level at any of the 5 local climbing gyms.

• The best workouts are short and intense.
• A good diet contains far more flavors and satisfaction than the typical American diet.

Brainless Biden is the only POTUS whose foreign policy is to alienate our allies and encourage illegal aliens to cross our border.
