Uhmmmm....last time I read him many years ago, uh...wasn’t editor for National Review???? When did he go left!?

Can you listen to white noise to block it out? I”ve been able to do that at various workplaces. I can still (usually) hear if I am directly addressed but it helps tune out all the chewing, coughing etc. One place I shared an office, the only way I could get my colleague to stop incessantly interupting me was to wear prominent headphones when earbuds would have been fine. I often didn’t listen to white noise there, I just needed more quiet than she did.

I have some electronic devices that help with white noise (and of course cell phone apps) and I sometimes listen to ambient-mixer.com sound tracks. The other thing I hate is so much non essential movement in my line of sight. People struggling with the printer, stapling, shuffling etc.... THAT I haven’t figured out how to avoid. I’m more productive in the stillness of a traditional office.

I’ve always admired Victor David Hanson. Thanks for posting.

So assuming the country is or was about 50/50 and the left is willing to drive conservatives out of jobs and public positions wherever they dare to hold an opinion. That’s why CEO’s fled Trump - they know the libs are eager to drive businesses into bankruptcy and brag about their “power” and rush to threaten others. If the right decides to do that as eagerly as the left, then we should expect companies to make 50% of the profits they used to, right down party lines. Sheesh.

WHy is it wrong to objectify women but important to objective trans? It would be wrong to feature Carly Fiorina in a swimsuit while profiling her impact on public life. Yet there’s this push to show Jenner and Manning in come hither poses as if to say, “You KNOW you want me!” Uhmmm...no we don’t. At once saying “Stay out of my private life! What I do with my body is my business!” and at the same time, “Look at my body and desire me! If you don’t you are a bigot!”

Peccary. It’s what’s for dinner.

Well said!

I believe that the old Journalist (congregation of MSM offline to coordinate the “news”) was reconstituted after it was exposed as the 5th column it was intended to be. These past few days I feel like they’ve launched their “Hail Mary” effort to rip the presidency away from Trump. Rich MSM types sitting back in the treehouse, watching their comrades set up “protests” to fan the flames of racial unrest and then reporting on it “just so” as to make matters worse. This isn’t an accident - it’s a stage in their multi-act ongoing coup.

: ) THANK YOU FOR THE SMILE!

I have been thinking that the left would “organize” fake conservative activities if nothing else but to glean the names/addresses of conservatives to torment. They are always in “shut them down” mode, they don’t want us to speak or gather and posing as organizers would help them in their quest. When I see internet “sign ups” for petitions online I wonder who will gather the info on the other end - mostly because of the way the donor list for funding for Prop 8 (gay marriage) in California was used as a black list. And of course, the left would pose as conservative to stage riots and blame them on the right.
People - be careful to background check any link or in-person request to “support” something that looks decent; you may end up with deep state bedfellows.

I knew a woman from Russia. SHe would be considered quite fortunate - the wife of a respected Moscow scientist with a country home and a choice apartment in the city. She said she was a “slave.” Her husband could at any moment divorce her. If he did, she would automatically lose her prestigious job and custody of her child and any place to live. She would have to leave Moscow to try to find a place to live and work somewhere in the countryside with her penniless mother. So, she had to keep her husband happy in order to see her child and have food to eat and a place to live. (Hardly sounds like women’s liberation to me) Even though he hated her. Even though his mother lived with them and treated his wife like a slave. Even though every member of the family, including their teenage daughter, was entitled, via his authority, to order her around and humiliate her for sport. She did all cooking and cleaning while her family threw insults at her and demanded she work faster. This was in the 80’s and 90’s. I didn’t ask about her sex life but I knew she hated and feared her husband. Her 16 year old daughter had multiple abortions...so I suppose that’s a sign of sexual activity.

A Russian psychologist who moved to the US would later marvel, “How did I ever live like that? Every morning I poured vodka in a glass and kept drinking throughout the day...just to get through the day...” Subjugated people are not thought to be happy in life and many Soviets drank/smoked themselves to death just to get through the day. Oh how sexy!
I a absolutely hate this kind of propaganda “Oh how lucky they were to live oppressed lives!”

The author of this “piece” is, ahem, infamous (see below). How does THIS woman dare to advocate for the means by which one can be taken seriously? How does she still have a job?

“Burleigh, for the uninitiated, is the reporter who infamously said she would be “happy to give [Bill Clinton] a blowjob just to thank him for keeping abortion legal.” Burleigh formerly was the White House correspondent for Time Magazine and covered the Clinton White House.”

From the original Newsweek article: “They are just buying into traditional binary views of male and female.” and, incredibly, “They signal the taut combination of power and weakness that conservative women must cultivate in order to survive among ideologues who are crafting our tax-free “Handmaid’s Tale” future.”

I still check Drudge. Sometimes I see stuff I don’t like. I don’t need help deciding which webpages to look at.

” doubled down on his apparently extemporaneous threats against the North Korean regime should chill the bones of every military family and every American with a child of draft age.”

Imagine the terror her rhetoric inspires in the low information voter. She implies Trump was making extemporaneous threats of nuclear war. This is the narrative the MSM has been building - they’ve been saying he’s dangerous and now they are setting up justification for craziness/coup talk.

There’s a psychologist who says alot of TV and movie programming is designed to traumatize and therefore make compliant citizenry receptive to “instruction”.

The underarm hair would most likely be waxed to avoid stubble or lasered off to halt regrowth. The halter style bathing suit top would help disguise masculine shoulders.

The arms overhead would help create the illusion of an “hourglass” shape (shoulders wider than waist). The bathing suit style is intended to further help the hourglass shape but apparently his body was resistant to design attempts, it didn’t work. It’s likely his shoulders are as wide as his waist and hips.

Why put transgendered people in swimsuit photos by Annie Lebowitz? We don’t show pictures of DNA women in a bathing suits to prove they are woman; many would perceive that as objectification. If a woman is running for office, the magazines don’t put her on the cover of Sports Illustrated to indicate she’s qualified.

It’s as if they are attempting the Laz test, “Would you hit that?” It’s as if they are hoping the “secret” answer will be “yes” and that will draw more people to support trans. They kind of did that with the movie Avatar - the female of the species was designed to look alien but have enough sexual cues to make men in the audience lust after her (she’d pass the Laz test) and therefore care about the character.

It’s hard when they control the MSM, the entertainment industry, and the education system which all teach the new generations how to talk and what to say. :\

Great article. Thanks for posting. Sad, though.

“...merely by being labeled as such stands as accusation, condemnation and implied deserved punishment due the “just wrath” of — the National Socialist German people, the Soviet Socialist toiling masses, the “unprivileged” race victims of “white privilege.”

I recall when footage of Muslim men dancing in the streets celebrating 9/11 was on the news, a wealthy Muslim woman said we should excuse them, they are ignorant and don’t understand etc. But that’s not exactly true, is it? Sure they are malleable due to lack of education, but it’s that they have been abused as children and warped as adults to the point where they lack compassion and everything is a sick game, right?
