You Just Gotta Die...


“I call on everybody – all the free people of the world, all the friendly countries, all the brotherly [Arab] countries, and all the allies – to exert all the necessary pressure, in all directions and in all forums, in order to end the aggression against Gaza, to stop this war against our children, women, and elderly, our mosques, our universities, and our homes,” he said. “This brutal aggression must stop. This new holocaust must stop.”

“I have said this before, and I say it time again: The blood of the women, children, and elderly… I am not saying that this blood is calling for your [help],” he continued. “We are the ones who need this blood, so it awakens within us the revolutionary spirit, so it awakens within us resolve, so it awakens within us the spirit of challenge, and [pushes us] to move forward.

Israel’s strikes come after Hamas terrorists massacred more than 1,400 Israelis, wounded 5,200+ more, and took hundreds hostage during an unprecedented terrorist attack on October 7. Children were beheaded, babies burned alive, and women raped so violently that their dead bodies were discovered to have broken pelvises."

Sad news. Drug abuse contributes to dying young.

Archives locates 82,000 pages of Joe Biden pseudonym emails, possibly dwarfing Clinton scandal


Under legal pressure, the National Archives has located 82,000 pages of emails that President Joe Biden sent or received during his vice presidential tenure on three private pseudonym accounts, a total that potentially dwarfs the amount that landed Hillary Clinton in hot water a decade ago, according to a federal court filing released Monday.

The total of Biden private email exchanges was disclosed Monday in a little-noticed status report filed in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought against the National Archives and Records Administration by the nonprofit public interest law firm the Southeastern Legal Foundation.

“Kill those kids!!! Those crackers going to private fancy schools with those fancy khakis & sports backpacks with their daddies mustangs & convertibles. Bunch of little fаggots with your white privlages **** you fаggots.”

An interesting perspective, coming from a white person, who attended that exact same fancy private school, and is queer. (No idea what sort of car she drove.)

Of course, logical self-consistency is not exactly a defining characteristic of women who claim to be men. And, just as broadly, of people of all genders who shoot up schools.

Force-feeding religion to children has always been a troubling concept.

I'll take the bait; it's the "God loves you." message that usually sends them over the edge.

Either that, or Biden's message that "White Supremacy is America's Most Dangerous Terrorist Threat" could be the other one...


If only "his" school would have embraced transgenderism at an earlier age...

Are we caught up or preoccupied with the manifestations from the real issue? We analyze these barbaric acts, but don't seek the root cause.

20 years ago, I predicted that there would be social issues with most of the world. My thought was that it would be because of the emerging 3rd world countries. The logic was that we would see a sudden decrease in the quality of life because there is only a finite amount of wealth/resources. The redistribution would just happen too fast. Over multiple generations we might have a chance to acclimate, but I predicted it would happen in less than one.

Today I believe many of the people are having mental issues that are a result of the changes. It could be accentuated by the rapid change in technology which maybe we have not adapted to at an acceptable rate. Covid was also an insult to injury. IMO people in this country have become very emotionally driving and overly competitive.

Political science has learned it is far easier to sway people with emotions (especially fear) rather than reason or logic. Therefore, we have a majority of the general public that acts on feelings instead of rational thought. Feelings somehow matter.

1) Our world is not a "zero sum" game. We may be all out of Sabretooth tigers, but wealth's pie grows with innovation. You should be asking yourself how this will all play out when A.I. takes over and people don't necessarily have to work. All they'll need to do is "emote" all day, based on your analogy.

2) We're seeing mental issues IMHO because the anchors are being removed from our society. Prison is bad, prisoners good. Education promotes inequality and therefore standardized testing should all be thrown out. Looting is a legitimate form of social expression. The 10 Commandments are just another way to control the masses. Oh, and men can be women and women can be men. Or dogs. Or non-binary chickens. People with no compass or sense of right & wrong will latch onto emotions or the newest thing, instead of reality. And of course a number of people will step up and say, "we're from the government, and we're here to take care of you." That's what we're watching now.

I'm not sure innovating yields wealth or resources. Wealth is relative and above our basic needs might be completely psychological. Definitely an interesting discussing to have though. Back in my college days I was friends with two philosophy prof's who were just amazing at distilling and debating topics like these.
