To my knowledge, no one has argued that women evolved recursion before men. This seems like low-hanging fruit, given it’s the oldest story in the book. Indigenous cultures worldwide have myths of a primordial matriarchy where women reigned; which is about the political divide one would expect if recursion were initially gendered. Closer to home, Eve first tasted the fruit and became as the gods, knowing good and evil. Presumably, she spent time as a reflective agent while Adam lived in Edenic ignorance. In this post, I’ll put forth a more detailed model about why I think women evolved recursion...

My mask is not coming off. COVID-19 has faded, and people who continue to wear masks in public spaces are just neurotic, my husband says. “You look goofy,” he admonishes me. On Monday, the most onerous COVID-related mandates will fall away. Customers in public spaces will no longer be required to mask up or produce proof of vaccination at restaurants, bars and gyms in Chicago and throughout Illinois. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention loosened its mask guidelines for public indoor spaces on Friday. I am thrilled the Omicron surge is fading and eager to return to “normal,” whatever...

The midterm elections are right around the corner, and that means that there is a number of governor’s races gearing up. The top seats of states are on the line, and it’s likely that things are going to get desperate, especially on the left.Politico took stock of what’s going on just a year out and compiled a list of what they think is going to be the most competitive. Among the states listed are Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, and Nevada and many more. To be sure, many of these states aren’t just going to see competitive races, but contentious ones.Stacy Abrams...

The horror that pervades life right now is almost indescribable. Trusted medical and scientific institutions have been weaponised against us with the aid of a corrupt media industry. Healthcare is being used to subvert society at the foundational level. A dangerous gene therapy technology is being mis-sold to a terrified public as a safe and effective vaccine. A single fact — the bioavailability of toxic spike proteins throughout the body — tells the whole genocidal story. The hideous prospect is of mass infertility, leukaemia, strokes, neurodegeneration… and death. We can only hope and pray that mitigations are in place and...

When Richard Demsick learned of the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, he immediately thought about the privilege he had as a white man. Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, was shot dead while jogging in February after being chased by two men — Gregory and Travis McMichael — who said he looked like a break-in suspect. In a video that trended after Arbery's death, the McMichaels could be seen pursuing Arbery in their truck while Arbery ran. Travis McMichael left the truck holding a gun and, after a brief struggle, Arbery was dead. The McMichaels later told the police they believed Arbery...

Switzerland's famed Matterhorn mountain was illuminated with an American flag for a few hours as a symbol of solidarity during the coronavirus pandemic. "Our thoughts are with all American people at this unprecedented time. We look forward to meeting again at the foot of the Matterhorn, we are all in this together," the tourism organization Zermatt Matterhorn wrote on its Facebook page. Light artist Gerry Hofstetter projected the flag onto the 14,692-foot-tall peak in the Swiss Alps as part of a nightly series designed to show the town of Zermatt's support for everyone suffering and those fighting the pandemic.

Dear Generation Z, Lazy. Entitled. Technology obsessed. Do those descriptions sound familiar? Like millennials, you have been called a variety of not so flattering labels. And now, the media has added one more: murderer. All right, maybe you weren’t called murderers, but you have been accused of killing. And no, not the horror movie kind, but rest assured you’ve managed to kill pastimes and have placed entire industries on life support. As someone who either falls into the young millennial or old Gen Z category depending on your definition, I can only share in the excitement (read: eye rolls) as...

FULL TITLE: Statue of defiant little girl is placed in front of Wall Street's Charging Bull to challenge 'male environment' ahead of International Women's Day A statue of a defiant little girl was placed in front of Wall Street's Charging Bull to challenge the 'traditionally male environment' of the industry, ahead of International Women's Day. A brave bronzed girl was installed with her hands on her hips, head held high as she faced off against the hulking statue of a bull on Tuesday morning. It was placed by $2.5trillion asset manager State Street Global as part of a campaign the...

Donald Trump early Sunday fired back at Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) after she slammed the presumptive GOP nominee and his vice presidential pick. "Goofy Elizabeth Warren, who may be the least productive Senator in the U.S. Senate, must prove she is not a fraud," Trump tweeted. "Without the con it's over." Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump Goofy Elizabeth Warren, who may be the least productive Senator in the U.S. Senate, must prove she is not a fraud. Without the con it's over 11:15 PM - 16 Jul 2016 Donald J.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Saturday turned her fire on the newly minted GOP presidential ticket, calling Donald Trump and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence “two small, insecure, weak men.”

For the past several weeks, there has been a lot of talk about the so-called “Black Lives Matter” protests, and how the protests seems to be growing in violence, with less and less being done to deal with them. President Obama, as expected, appears useless to stop the violence, even siding with the violence by his same refusal. There is a lot of talk about “racism,” “discrimination,” and the usual language. There are even calls for blacks to take over southern states, create their own country, and “kill all the white people”: The end game is land ownership. The endgame...

BLOCKBUSTER: Patsy to police: The CIA killed Mateen, and they will kill me! Quick explanation: The man arrested in Santa Monica with bomb material and automatic weapons to "attack a gay pride parade" actually turned himself in to the Santa Monica police for protection after he heard Mateen (who was part of his CIA team) was killed in the shooting! Get a load of this, it appears to be the false flag bust of the century!

The Mainstream Media has tried to ignore far-left Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren’s attempt to make herself a minority to allegedly further her then academic career which included a high-paying Harvard teaching gig. Donald Trump has since made ignoring that story much more difficult as he blasts the lily-white “Pocahontas” Warren for her longtime deception. Warren has long claimed to have Cherokee heritage and pushed that fabricated familial background in order to further her academic career. A Brietbart investigation from 2014 found that not only does NO actual verification of Warren’s Cherokee ancestry exist, but that in fact, her ancestors were...

After he called Warren “Pocahontas,” a local reporter shouted that she finds that offensive. Trump calls Warren "Pocahontas". Local ND reporter yells "that's very offensive". Trump says "ok". Then calls warren "Pocahontas" again. “She was able to get into various schools,” Trump alleged, saying that was because she applied as Native American. “I think she’s as Native American as I am.”

Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren moves with the fleet-footed bounce of a featherweight fighter - an agile pugilist who has been using Twitter to deliver jabs and hooks to Republican front-runner Donald Trump. She is not an especially elegant fighter, but she's fast - throwing a barrage of blows: "loser," "pathetic," "weak." And in person, too, her style is aerodynamic, with her short sandy hair, rimless glasses, necklace-free decolletage and tiny stud earrings. She is nearly accoutrement-free as she moves against the head winds. She looks quick and agile. Flexed for a fight. And her sleeves are always rolled up -...

Donald Trump says there’s a 40 percent chance he picks someone from this year’s Republican presidential field as his vice president. But the odds-on favorite to win the veepstakes: Newt Gingrich. The former speaker of the house was a perpetual thorn in the side of the Bill Clinton administration. And he sounds like he’s relishing a shot at Hillary Clinton. Gingrich has lavished praise on Trump. The business mogul has not said much about the man named Newt. But oddsmakers and betting markets like Gingrinch’s chances nonetheless. In this unpredictable election season, bookies have some other strange options in mind...

The night of Donald Trump’s big Indiana Republican primary win, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., was ready. She tore loose with a series of late-night anti-Trump tweets in which she accused him of racism, sexism, xenophobia, narcissism and a host of other faults.

Last year at CPAC I asked Donald Trump what he thought about the prospect of Elizabeth Warren for president. He paused just long enough to blast a stare at me so riddled with disgust and nausea you would have thought Mexico had just annexed Mar-a-Lago through eminent domain. The man despises Warren. And so it was stunning that Tuesday morning, as Trump celebrated his victory in the Indiana primary clinching the Republican nomination, Warren greeted him with a vicious Twitter salvo: “@realdonaldtrump has built his campaign on racism, sexism, and xenophobia.”

While Mister Focker talks about his 'communal commode' [and failing to follow his own rule], he looks quite sane when compared with this hairbrained notion: The DNC's communal campaign computer system. Yep, both Hellery and Bernie Sanders share the same campaign database -- communism on parade in the name of efficiency. There was supposed to be a firewall that separated them, but you know how communal projects work out -- you end up taking a shower and look over to see some other guy sitting on the pot. The firewall had a weakness. Bernie Sanders stated that he informed the...
