“The left’s goal is always to break human reason. . . .” —Elizabeth Nickson.
Iran. . . message received.
You ask: Why did Achilles drag Hector around the city of Troy three times?
Answer: He was just that pissed.
So it goes with President DJ Trump and the intransigent jihadi maniacs running Iran down a rat hole. Mr. T is just that pissed, too. “War is Hell,” the savvy Union general WT Sherman observed after he torched Atlanta, setting a precedent for moral clarity in the service of tactical fortitude. And thus, a century-and-a-half later, this is Iran’s hard time. Iran can make it stop at any time by. . . stopping. But the catch is, they really have to stop it, no more head fakes, ruses, jukes, dodges, and ploys. Just stop it.
Don’t doubt that they will have to stop it. We are going to make them stop. In the meantime, there is plenty else to concern those of us who care about our country, and Western Civ more generally, on the home front. Here comes the Insane Clown Posse of the Democratic Socialists. Their platform: abolish the police; no more jail for criminals; open borders; amnesty for all border-jumpers; abolish the Senate; Abolish the electoral college (House of Representatives to elect the president); defund the War Department; voting rights for all non-citizens; “wealth” taxes; free housing, food, medical care for all; green new deal laws; free Palestine (which is more important than any place else on Earth)!
Oh, and they are quite out-front about merely using the Democratic Party as a means to acquire power. Yeah, you noticed that already? Nobody actually had to read the quiet part out-loud. (Well, it wasn’t all that quiet.) Question is: how is all this going to work in practice (or in the praxis, as the Gramscian Marxists like to say — because it sounds like some occult power), as they roll over every institution in the land.
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are our own jihadistas. They aim to make their program work by jamming it down America’s throat, starting with the throats of the plain old Democratic Party, the party of FDR, JFK, and HRC, currently fronted by Hakeem Jeffries (the House) and Chuck Schumer (the soon-to-be-abolished Senate). These two appear to be totally buffaloed by the DSA’s Insane Clown Posse. It’s their own Frankenstein monster, stitched together in their laboratory from the tatters of the 20th century. And like in the original by Mary Shelley, this monster is fixing to abolish its maker. Hakeem and Chuck are just standing by like a couple of credulous clucks waiting to see how things develop as the calendar marches implacably toward the catastrophic midterm election.
Last week’s Maine Senate primary debate was instructive. A more pitiful conclave of political losers had not been observed on continental US soil since Millard Fillmore led the Know-Nothing party into oblivion in 1856. (And, of course, five years later the American Civil War ignited.) Remember the old maxim: “As Maine goes, so goes the nation.” Well, Gawd help us, then. See for yourself (click image):
The Maine Senate Primary Candidates Debate.
The fellow on the right pretending to be a woman is one Ashley Webb (formerly James Charles Webb) who cited “her” reasons for joining the race as: running for office before (unsuccessfully), being a songwriter, writing books, and being an “angry citizen” who would be an “angry senator.” Perfect! You might ask: why wasn’t Punch the Monkey onstage with the rest of this bunch?
Here is your very picture of Progressivism, the larval form of DSA — and, as you read this, there are Progressive larvae yet metamorphosing into full-blown DSAs all over these fifty states. Mamdani in New York. . . Brandon Johnson in Chicago. . . Katie Wilson in Seattle. . . Michelle Wu in Boston. . . Karen Bass in LA, etc. And here come DSAs Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Brad Lander, taking House seats in New York and Melat Kiros out in Colorado (yes, the lady who likes to wipe her hands on the US flag) who are expected to join The Squad (AOC, Jayapal, Pressley, Tlaib) next January. Plus, over on the soon-to-be-abolished Senate side, one Dr. Abdul El-Sayed running in Michigan. They all promise to keep the punishment coming until American morale improves!
Looming over this Insane Clown Posse of — oh, let’s just say it — feckless communists, is the ancient visage of Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) — like F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Eyes of Dr. TJ Eckleburg — the old war-horse’s long-cherished dreams finally coming true. Remember, in 1988 Bernie took his new wife on a honeymoon to the Soviet Union? Like. . . to witness how well that system was working. . . exactly three years before it collapsed. You can say the Democratic Socialists of America have got exactly the avatar they deserve.
The question is: will the DSA drag the Democratic Party into oblivion? Most assuredly they will. We are going to get election reform one way or another this year. There will be no more mail-in ballot harvesting or voting by non-citizens or vote tabulation machines. It might be that a substantial demographic in our country is insane, say, generously, maybe forty percent. But a firm majority of Americans are not insane and they are going to put a stop to this communist insurrection just as President DJ Trump — who is really pissed — will put an end to the forty-seven-year Iranian jihad. What a week it has been!!! More thrills and chills ahead, you can be sure.

Many TOTALITARIANS never stop until they are exterminated. Some you can laugh at. Some you have to punch in the nose. Others...
“You might ask: why wasn’t Punch the Monkey onstage with the rest of this bunch?”
Or Triumph the Insult Dog?
Is it in the DNA or not?
🤷♂️ I have thought about it.
Stanton Samenow - Inside The Criminal Mind
Here’s a quickly found opinion:
[I have no knowledge of the field, but found this surprising. Apparently the Jury is still out...]
“So glad someone else has noticed Stanton Samenow. Trust me, the fact he’s prolific in the field has more to do with his marketing and work with the media than it does with actual research expertise—based on even a cursory reading of his books or his blogs, it’s clear he either doesn’t understand statistics, or willfully pretends not to. One of the most common “arguments” he presents in favor of his criminal personality theories is to discount any variable that does not invariably lead to criminality, saying things like, say, “abuse during childhood is irrelevant to criminality, because if it caused criminality, everyone who was abused would become criminals.” He’ll often do this with several variables in succession, conveniently ignoring the fact that they vary independently, and therefore could be used in conjunction to be a very strong predictor of criminality. He also plays very fast and loose with what he considers to be a criminal, and seems to determine the criteria for a criminal based on whatever best suits his current argument (e.g. Discounting recidivism data from some interventions because nonrecidivists were just “criminals temporarily avoiding criminal behavior”). Furthermore, he mostly avoids publishing in actual journals these days, mostly focusing on his books and his blogs, where he doesn’t have to show his data or methods, and can get away with making unsubstantiated claims based on nothing more than anecdotal experiences interviewing criminals. For a quick introduction to some of this, check this out and trust me, there’s more where that came from. It’s also notable that Samenow himself has actually been accused of being a criminal in his own right So, yeah, tl;dr, he’s a hack. Answer from _geist_in_the_shell on reddit.com”
Oh, and I agree with his point. LOL

I am not that worried about the next elections.
The Dems will likely gain some seats in Congress, that is NORMAL mid term.
Our MSM of course will fly off the handle when this happens and lecture us all how this is a mandate for their cause.
It's easy to play opposition politics, prey on all the negative stories, and promise everything to everyone when you're not in the drivers seat. The party not in power and not with the President in office benefits from this immensely.
But in the next Presidential elections, it will really boil down to who is chosen as the candidate.
“and, as you read this, there are Progressive larvae yet metamorphosing into full-blown DSAs”
Kunstler is a great read! Great with metaphors!
Nature versus nurture is a long-standing debate in biology and society about the relative influence on human behavior of their genetic inheritance or biology (nature) and the environmental conditions of their development (nurture). Nature is what people think of as pre-wiring and is influenced by genetic inheritance and other biological factors. Nurture is generally taken as the influence of external factors after conception e.g. the product of exposure, experience, and learning on an individual.I immediately think of in the past one-hundred years a myriad of new laws, statutes, rules, and regulations intentionally created to make ordinary citizens into criminals. It once was nature that defined the criminal as Stanton Samenow obviously knew. It is possible that nurture has come to dominance with socialist intention.
Thanks. I have not studied him extensively but I did take this way from his one book I’ve read: Criminal behavior is a result of the thinking of the individual.
Some people become bad, some are born bad, in my understanding. Ordinary bad people can change; born bad are stuck. Plus anyone believing the Shiia Twelvers’ insane ideology is incurable.
“and, as you read this, there are Progressive larvae yet metamorphosing into full-blown DSAs”
Kunstler’s word usage is stiletto-sharp and extremely funny.
The Dem party is finished. Fewer and fewer registered dems. And if the SAVE Act is passed (it has to be), Dems will win very few elections ever again. Without fraud, they cannot win. That’s why the Dem leaders hate the SAVE Act, and love them illegals.
Agree. Centuries of mind suppression have destroyed their ability to think. It is reinforced daily through families, friends and the call to NOT THINK 5X A DAY to indoctrinated drones.
We don’t need the “Noo” Socialists, or their cracked political ideas!
“...the Shiia Twelvers’ insane ideology is incurable...”
Recent facts on the ground support that finding.
Resolution of same is going to be problematic.
