Poison Ivy League

Timothy Birdnow

Kristi Noam has banned Harvard from accepting foreign students for abusing their privilege.

This ban was instituted because Harvard failed to rein in anti-semitic student activity and allowed the abuse of Jewish students, as well as their complicity with the Chinese government and accepting large cash donations from an enemy power.

Noem had demanded Harvard "provide information about the criminality and misconduct of foreign students on its campus,” with the threat of losing their SEVP approval. Harvard declined and so now is being blocked from accepting foreign students.

Harvard had 6,793 international students as of the current academic year - 27% of the college's enrollment.

Harvard has also been stripped of government contracts and funding to the tune of two and a half billion dollars for these same misdeeds.

That Harvard is willing to continue to resist the Trump Administration proves they were seriously overfunded for decades and also that they have wealthy foreign powers aiding and abetting them. China alone contributed 12.9% ($5.6 billion) of all Harvard funding, for instance. And probably more that was laundered through third parties. Qatar too is a major donor at $894 million last year alone.

In fact foreign donations are so good Harvard has a reserve of $53.2 billion just sitting there making money for the top brass. They can last a while without foreign money, it seems. This while they charge $57,328 in yearly tuition (not countinf multiple fees).

If there ever was an entity that deserved to be defunded by the U.S. taxpayer it was Harvard. It's one of the citadels of Satan.

The Ivy League is the core of America's problems and in fact the core of the whole world's problems. It is there that every bad and evil idea is generated. We conservatives often complain bitterly about the media,but they ultimately take their cue from academia. Michael Crichton noted this in his novel State of Fear, that the root of everything is the Ivy League. He was right.

The Ivy League is where everyone who runs anything in America is trained. It is rare to find anyone in the top echelon of any corporation or in any boardroom or runing any foundation or NGO or at the top of government who didn't receive an Ivy League education, despite the fact that said education is no better than at many universities, perhaps worse since so much time is wasted on political correctness and DEI. But they have prestige and they take care of their own.You won't find a graduate of St. Louis University or the University of Nebraska or Georgia Tech at the top of any major entity. It's always Ivy League.

And all they do in the Ivy League is teach people not to think. They are brainwashing factories, rather like viruses that take over the machinery in the cells and replicate themselves until the host cell dies.

So I hope this is just the beginning of efforts to break the iron grip of the major universities over American life at taxpayer expense. America cannot be revitalized as long as the Ivy League continues to run everything.

Sounding the Warning

Timothy Birdnow

For the last four years St.Louis has been run by Tishuara Jones, whose father Virvus had been an alderman and went to prison for corruption. Tishuara was better than some - she was NOT a BLM activist, like Corey Bush, but she was wholly incompetent. We have solid proof of that now.

City's Emergency Chief Blasted as DEI Hire After 'They/Them' Left Tornado Siren Off During Deadly St. Louis Storms

The deadly tornado that rolled through north and central-western St. Louis came as a surprise to city residents because the sirens failed. Nobody had bothered to check them to make sure they were working properly.

I know for a fact; I never heard them, and I live in south city.

Granted, you can't blaem everything on Jones, the board of Aldermen also failed spectacularly. Of course, four of the leaders of the board, including the President, went to prison for corruption not long ago.

At any rate Jones was clearly an affirmative action candidate, and the North Side all voted for her (she was the first woman Mayor and black too.) She ran against Lewis Reed, a black man, who happened to be the same president of the Board of Alderman mentioned above.

That's St. Louis for you. Run entirely by Democrats since the last Republican mayor served in 1948 and corrupt to it's very core.

Cara Spencer, the new mayor, is at least making a show of horror at this and has ordered reviews of all emergency systems. I doubt Spencer's capabilities; she's a rich white woman from a gated community looking for something to give her life meaning, a true limousine liberal. But she has to be better than Jones.

All the blame appears to be falling on Sara Russell, the head of the city's Emergency Management Agency. Russell was no doubt a patronage hire for that job. I have little doubt she's politically connected to the city machine. But it was Jones who was at the helm all along and should have made sure her subordinates were doing their jobs. The buck stops there.

This article says the sirens were not sounded, and asks why not,but that's old news; equipment tests showed they weren't working. Nobody had bothered to test them or do proper maintenance.

Oh, it turns out Russell describes herself as "non-binary" and lists her pronouns on the city's contact page.

Whose fault is that though? She was hired because she checked off the diversity boxes. Ultimately the fault was Mayor Jones's.

This little bit of political correctness caused the death of five people.

Russell and other top officials at CEMA were attending a workshop elsewhere when this happened. I would point out that it probably was a free vacation paid by the taxpayers of St. Louis.

this is the kind of incompetence we've seen in St. Louis for decades. Mayor Spencer won the last election because of kitchen table issues involving the city. The public was very angry at the way the city handled the big snowstorm we had this winter; many people were simply trapped in their sidestreets for weeks because the city does nothing to prevent snow buildup or keep city streets clear. (They don't plow because city streets are one-way and narrow and they would bury cars if they plowed. Plus hit many of them. But they could at least lay some salt in advance.) Right now the gas company - Spire - has torn up the entire area where I live, with multiple detours and lane closures all over. It's infuriating. I was trying to go to a doctor's appointment and a ten minute drive turned into something like forty minutes. The City Street Department wasn't doing this, granted, but they let Spire simply tear up all the roads at once, causing a huge logjam. Tishuara Jones should have told them they couldn't do that, that they had to do one section at a time.

Also last winter we had multiple water main breaks, all over the place. Interestinglly enough there was a bill before the voters to replace many water lines. Coincidence? The city owns the water company in St. Louis; it's not a private corporation.

Increasingly St. Louis looks like a Third World city. There are large swaths of it that are simply ruins, or vacant lots. Packs of wild dogs roam the north side, living in abandoned buildings. Basic services are degrading. The forestry department doesn't prune the trees along the streets, and whenever there is a storm large limbs fall on peoples cars and otherwise block roads and do damage. And don't get me started on street conditions; potholes are as common as holes in chunks of swiss cheese. Recently the city installed speed bumps on many side streets; they needn't have bothered as the potholes force drivers to go slow.

And while violent crime SUPPOSEDLY dropped I seriously doubt it; I believe they just aren't reporting the crimes to the FBI. Every day there are shootings.

Increasingly St. Louis seems like Kinshasa, or San Salvador,or Tijuana, or some other desolate place.

And it will never change. St. Louis takes on big projects to try to rejuvenate the city but in the end the plans fail (even if they succeed for a time) because the city is structurally incapable of rejuvenating or of growth thanks to the Democratic stranglehold. The City Earnings tax, which must be paid if you are a resident or even just work in the city, drives businesses out. A business can simply set up just outside the city limits and not pay the onerous tax. (Sports franchises that play here have to pay it too, which is why St. Louis never gets any big sporting events and why sports franchises are slow to relocate here. It's part of why St. Louis lost the Rams football team, for instance, as they did the Cardinals before them.)

There is a lot to be proud of here, but St. Louis will never be a world class city again, and that's because it is being run into the ground and has been for over 75 years now. This failure to sound the tornado warnings is just one more example of why nobody wants to live or work in St. Louis anymore.

Covid-19 mRNA Vaccines Likely Role In Historic Excess Mortality Rates Must Be Explored Revisited

Timothy Birdnow

I thought I'd recycle this from 2023 so we can compare it to what we now know.

Covid19 mRNA Vaccines Likely Rolein Historic Excesse Mortality Rates Must be Explored

James Doogue,a master statistician, penned this post showing how heart issues are tied to the Covid vaccine.

I know it's old hat, but I thought it fun to see what he was saying in '23 and compare it withthe present.

BTW while I had a host of heart problems I developed a new one -Afib -about a year after getting the shot. Coincidence? Maybe, but I had a TIA which is caused by clots. The vax is well documented to cause clots.

The Bitter End - Not a Bang but a Whimper

Timothy Birdnow

Great Briain is not so great now. In fact I would call it Mediocre Britain these days. Utterly determined to divest themselves of what they perceive in their liberal minds as the "sin" of colonialism, the British government has done a deal with the Chinese-allied Mauritus to hand over the Indian Ocean island chain The Chago Archipelago which includes the critical base at Diego Garcia.

The sun has finally set on the British empire. Britain owned this island group, for instance. They also own a few niggling Pacific islands, including primarily the Pitcairn group, of which only one is inhabited (by the mutineers of the Bounty). The British gave independence to all her other Pacific colonies and protectorates. Britain still owns (probably not for long) the Faulkland Islands, which Argentina ahs long coveted and will probably get in time. Other than that they own a few uninhabited islands (like South Georgia) in the south Atlantic, and they own a few other islands in the Atlantic, primarily the small colony of Tristan Da Cunha (the most isolated inhabited place on Earth) Also Ascension Island, an uninhabited rock, is British. Britain also owns St. Helena, and a number of Carribean islands, notably Turks and Caicos, the British Virgin Islands, Montserrat, Anguilla, and of course Bermuda. Lastly they own Gibralter.

Now they have one less piece of empire. As empires go Britain has become a pathetic doddering old coot.

So now they are completely out of business in the Indian Ocean. The sun has truly set over the empire.

So if war breaks out the British aren't coming. They would prefer to sit on their drizzly little island chain and pretend men are women and Arab and Moorish Muslims are British.

Farewell old friend. We'll miss you.

Admiral Convicted

Timothy Birdnow

This is your new Navy at work! Thanks Biden and Obama!

Retired Navy Admiral Found Guilty in Bribery Scheme Involving Executive Training Firm

This is what happens when political ideology and identity politics matter more than merit and a will to fight for and serve one's country.

Retired Admiral Robert Burke was found guilty of steering contracts to companies that gave him lucrative kickbacks. Three guesses why those companies were getting training contracts in the first place. Can you say DEI? I knew you could.

We just experienced the most corrupt period in our history, methinks. It's what you get when you put the Left in charge.

Old Pennywise

How stupid do they think we are?

CBS News is actually saying Biden didn't get a prostate screening because he didn't want to spend the money![/linbk]

Like spending money stopped him at any time!

Let us remember some of the
extreme waste he had in his budgets,prompting The Hill to call him the the most wasteful President in history from transgenderism to Green Energy.to freebies for colleges and research to see if mice could be turned trans, Biden never met a cost he didn't love.

So claims he worried about spending the money is beyond ridiculous.

Biden (and Fauci) Lied, People Died

Timothy Birdnow

This has got to be a violation of some Federal law.

Biden admin covered up potentially deadly COVID vaccine side effects for months: Senate report

Hmm...maybe this is why Biden just announced he has prostate cancer and will likely die soon? Maybe he is trying to hide behind the "sick old man" shibboleth he used to slither out of trouble with Robert Hur.

From the article:

A report from the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said government officials knew as early as February 2021 about the harmful side effects but waited until June to inform the public of the inherent dangers.

'The federal government was very well aware of the myocarditis signal, particularly in young men.'

The report revealed that U.S. health officials "knew about the risks" the vaccines carried related to myocarditis, inflammation of heart muscle, and pericarditis, inflammation of the fibrous sac surrounding the heart, but "downplayed the health concern" and "delayed informing the public about the risk."

RELATED: HHS scrapping COVID jab recommendations for pregnant moms and kids: Report

The report, first obtained by the Daily Wire, showed that the U.S. government ignored warnings from several sources.

In February 2021, U.S. entities were notified of adverse effects by the Israeli Ministry of Health, as the country rolled out vaccines faster than America did. Still, CDC officials declined to make public the "large reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people, following the administration of the Pfizer vaccine."

It is unclear whether the Israeli government made an effort to notify the public, either.

That same month, a CDC official who co-led the Vaccine Safety Technical Work Group emailed her colleagues about 19,536 vaccine adverse event reports (through the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) that included 980 deaths after vaccination.

"Where known, the cause of death was often cardiovascular," the report read.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told the Daily Wire that the Biden administration did not want to increase "vaccine hesitancy" by reporting the side effects openly.

So Biden and the CDC and Anthony Fu Chi Fauci lied and people died. A lie of omission is still a lie.

If nothing else this should open everyone involved to massive lawsuits that will ruin them. Trump should allow these suits to go against the Federal government as well.

The Covid shot was a massive crime, on a scale the Nazis would have been quite proud to have achieved.

OB Cubed Breaks the Plain of the Endzone

Timothy Birndow

One big beautiful law (assuming it passes in the Senate, of course)!

House Passes One Big Beutiful Bill

The Bill passed 215 to 214 and 1, with Thomas Massie and Warren Davisson of Ohio being the two turncoats.And Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris voted "present".

Not sure what Massie thinks he was going to accomplish by killing this bill. All that would do is raise taxes on everyone.

Now it's up to John Thune and his merry crash of Rinosceri to put this thing on Mr. Trump's desk and in short order.

One Big Beautiful Billi (OBcubed) isn't that much of a victory as it enshrines much of the Biden spending, but it's a start anyway.

Here are some of the goodies in the bill, as chronicled by the Daily Caller News Foundation:

Congressional Republicans are aiming to get the bill to the president’s desk by July 4. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has saidGOP lawmakers must act quickly to avoid a scenario where the U.S. government could default on its debt, which could come as soon as mid-July. The massive piece of legislation includes a $4 trillion increase in the debt limit.

The bill’s passage followed eleventh-hour changes to the sprawling package to get the conference’s holdouts on board.

Last-minute reforms to the bill include the accelerated implementation of Medicaid work requirements to Dec. 31, 2026, moving up the phase out of tax breaks for wind, solar and battery storage to 2028 and raising the state and local tax deduction cap to $40,000 from $10,000 for households earning up to $500,000 annually, which primarily benefits individuals living in high-tax blue states.

The budget reconciliation bill also extends the expiring provisions of the president’s 2017 tax cuts and delivers on several Trump campaign promisesby including provisions eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay while enacting a larger tax break available to Americans age 65 or older. The spending package will also devote more than $100 billion in new funding for border security and immigration enforcement and boost defense spending by nearly $150 billion.

House Republicans notably exceeded their target to slash spending by $1.5 trillion over a ten-year period in the budget bill.

A majority of the savings come from reducing federal spending on Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program while phasing out green energy tax credits.

Johnson gave a special shoutout to House Rules Committee chairman Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, dubbing her the "iron lady of the House,” after she presided over a 22-hour long session to advance the bill from the rules panel with just two short breaks.

Rolls to be SAVED

Timothy Birdnow

Not so sure this can't be hijacked by the Democrats. The system is online and thus they may well make legal citizens show up as aliens to suppress their vote.

Trump Admin Rolls Out new Tool to Stop non-citizens from Jijacking U.S. Elections

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility actt(SAVE) is an online system run by USCIS. As such it is vulnerable to hacks, or abuse. It uses social security numbers rather than Homeland Security numbers to track aliens.

Of course this is powerless if the aliens simply steal someone's social security number, as illegal aliens are want to do.

Still, it's an attempt and in combination with other things may make our elections more secure. The bill was sponsored by Chip Roy of Texas.

GOP Losing Confidence

Timothy Birdnow

Is it any wonder when the GOP cannot even pass a tax cut and are squabbling like naughty children?

Democrats lead 45-42 in generic congressional ballot.

The road to success for the GOP is to move Trump's agenda forward legislatively. Thus far they don't seem much inclined to do so. Just like last time.

I've long argued Congress is nothing but a show; they WANT to keep things close, not win. The GOP in particular is eager to remain a minority so they can fundraise off that fact. Winning and doing things are not really helpful to them.

Certainly what has been happening with the tax bill illustrates the stupidity of the Republicans. They aren't elephants; elephants are smart. More like Brontosauruses; brains the size of walnuts.

Wrayofication

Timothy Birdnow

Dan Bongino appears to have sold out (much like Christopher Wray did previously); the former Fox host and conservative has announced "case closed" over the assassination attempt on President Trump in Butler PA, saying "there is nothing there", no conspiracy involved. He apparently just took the word of those who were undoubtedly involved in the coverup.

There is zero chance this was a lone wolf attack. There are multiple warning signs it was a plot. This kid was walking around with a rifle at a secure event. He got onto the roof of the building which was within shooting distance and yet unsecured. There were police on lower floors and NOBODY on the roof. There were no drones in the air. A cop went to the roof, saw the kid with a gun, and promptly left. Then the kid was happily shot by secret service, and his body was cremated before the medical examiner had a chance to give it a proper examination.

Anyone thinks this is all a comedy of errors has their heads inserted in a most dark, bad smelling place.

Former Trump infobabe Liz Harrington was dumbfounded. She tweeted:

"I’m sorry, the investigation into J13 is closed? Who were you briefed by? The people who came in, hosed down the crime scene, cremated the body, stonewalled congressional investigators, and lawyered up the family?

There is a "there” there because we know NOTHING about Crooks, or who he was talking to.

If this is true, they need to come out with everything they know about why and HOW a 20 year old pulled that off.

The former FBI director just called for ANOTHER hit on President Trump. We must get serious about what is going on.

Liz Harrington


Apparently Bongino thinks investigations into J6 are a waste of time as well.

Bongino was a former Secret Service agent, and I suspect he's gone native. His subordinates may well have convinced him to spike these investigations "for the good of the bureau".

I'm losing confidence in many Trump appointees. We've had Pam Bondi who keeps sitting on her hands. We had the claim the Jersey drones were just hobbiest drones, exactly what Biden said and what people who actually saw them and know drones say cannot possibly be the case. And now this.

They're lying to us folks. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!

There's a Yawn in my Ear!

Timothy Birdnow

Isn't it odd how the media couldn't care less when it's terrorism against conservatives?

Fertility Clinic Bombing Suspectt Declared Waron Pro-Lifers in Alleged Manifesto

We never heard the end of it when a few folks walked into the Captiol building to take pictures and selfies but when there is real, honest to goodness domestic terrorism against pro-lifers it's yawn time.

I wonder how the lying Southern Poverty Law Center will try to pin this on "right wing terrorism" as they are always trying to do?

FTA:

In an alleged online manifesto, the suspect shared his anti-natalist beliefs.

"The end goal is for the truth (Efilism) to win, and once it does, we can finally begin the process of sterilizing this planet of the disease of life," it reportedly read. "Life can only continue as long as people hold the delusional belief that it is not a zero sum game causing senseless torture, and messes it can never, or only partially, clean up."

"I think we need a war against pro-lifers," it added.

The alleged manifesto also encouraged viewers to "download the recorded stream of my suicide & bombing of an IVF clinic."

These are the kooks being produced by our modern educational system. Naturally the media won't report this.

It's Man's Fault

Timothy Birdnow

Our old friend Dr. Roy Spencer has some solid research proving the Urban Heat Island Effect is at the root of the modest planetary warming being blamed on carbon dioxide.


https://www.drroyspencer.com/2025/05/our-urban-heat-island-paper-has-been-published/


Spencer showed that:

"65% of the U.S. linear warming trend between 1895 and 2023 was due to increasing population density at the suburban and urban stations; 8% of the warming was due to urbanization at rural stations. Most of that (urban heat island) effect warming occurred before 1970.”

The Urban Heat Island Effect is a fancy name for the obvious principle that cities or urbanized areas are warmer due to heat sources and even body heat. Also land use changes mean it's warmer; cut down a forest and pave it with blacktop and the land will be warmer.

For decades Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. of UC Boulderf argued this case and was largely dismissed by the media and even most climatologists. Dr. Spencer told me "he's monomaniacal on the subject" about Pielke, or something to that effect anyway. But Spencer decided to look into it and voila! Pielke was correct.

And this comports with what we know about the surface temperature stations. Meteorologist Anthony Watts did a survey of all U.S. temperature stations around the country and the results were eye-opening; stations that had at one time been isolated in the country were now surrounded by suburbia. Many were cited near air-conditioning compressors, or by sewage treatment plants, or other heat sources. Visit www.surfacestations.org for the whole enchilada.

Planetary warming is most likely entirely an artifact of urban warming.

Which brings up another point which I just had to argue recently with a liberal; much of this business about "increasing natural disasters" stems not from any increase in natural calamities but because there are more people building in places they ought not, and with 24 hour news cycles what would have been a very minor story on the back page of a local newspaper is now trumpeted as a disaster. Yes, there is more property damage, but that's what happens when you, say, build in a flood plain where people in bygone days had the good sense not to build.

Take for example the town of Grafton Illinois. Grafton was a quaint, sleepy little village along the Great River Road at the confluence of the Mississippi and Illinois rivers. There were a lot of old building that were sitting vacant and degrading because the town floods every couple of years, and if there is a BIG flood the whole thing is under water. But like everything else these days people thought it was cool, and started renovating the properties there. Now they are building all sorts of new things, condos, a huge marina, a skylift to a wine garden on top of the bluffs, etc. It's now a major resort town. But it still floods every two years (leading the owner of the Piasa winery to move his operation to the top of the bluffs) and if another huge flood hits the whole thing will be under water. Then the insurance companies will be hit with a staggering bill and the government will likely bail the town out.

The point is Grafton should never have been so developed; it's the flood plain. It's really nice, I'll grant you that, but it was just foolish. And it will be added to the numbers that will be presented when the Gang Green claims "climate change" is leading to more and worse disasters. It's not true.

All of our problems are man made, but not the way the environmentalists claim. They are principally artifacts of how we tabulate data.

Miss Mistreated

Timothy Birdnow

I had a friendly disagreement with a liberal college professor from Boston yesterday who claimed much more money was spent on men's health issues than women's, and she pointed to prostate cancer as proof women get the short end of the stick. I pointed out that women have whole branches of medicine dedicated solely to them; where is the equivalent of an OBGYN for men? There isn't one. The closest you will come will be a urologist, and most urologists treat both sexes.

But the cancer business was just plain wrong and I said so; I asked how much money was spent on breast cancer over prostate cancer. She dismissed the point, being certain that the conventional wisdom (in liberal circles) had to be correct. But is it"

I found these links and copied the pertinent passages:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5836059/

"The NIH spending for prostate cancer in 2015 was US$288 million, which is less than half that for breast cancer , despite the fact that 40,000 patients died from prostate cancer, just 20% less than breast cancer patients."

https://jameslnuzzo.substack.com/p/prostate-and-breast-cancer-funding

"The US government invests about 2.5 times more money into breast cancer research than it does prostate cancer research, averaging around 700 million dollars"

https://news.med.miami.edu/study-points-to-significant-disparities-in-federal-cancer-research-funding/

"Dr. Kumar noted that breast cancer research received approximately 50 times more funding than stomach cancer in 2018"


https://www.cancertherapyadvisor.com/news/research-funding-lacking-for-cancers-with-high-mortality-rates/

"Jan 22, 2024 · Cancers with the most funding were breast cancer ($3.75 billion), leukemia ($2.00 billion), and lung cancer ($1.60 billion)."

Editor's note; the last doesn't even put prostate cancer in the top three, as you no doubt realized.

Granted men can get breast cancer too but it's much more rare in men than women. Women cannot get prostate cancer since they don't have a prostate.

But the point is the claims women get ignored by medicine because we livein a patriarchal society is a pure shibboleth, something repeated over and over by feminists to make women feel aggreived. But it's clearly not true.

I did see where some women tried to argue that breast cancer is underfunded compared to prostate cancer because more people die of the former rather than the latter, but even that point falls short as the first quote proves.

No, if anybody gets the short end of the stick it's men.

I can prove this assertion quite easily, just by pointing out the disparity between male and female lifespans; on average men in America die at the age of 74.8 years as of 2022. Women die on average at 80,2 years, according to the CDC. And while young boys tend to be reckless and get killed, pumping up the numbers, young girls these days are pretty much equally reckless. Oh, and I might add that life expectancy for white males is declining despite advances in medical care. Now why do you suppose that is?

One helluva poor patriarchy, don't you think?

The fact is women always did have a pretty good gig. In bygone days the men had to provide and the women kept the house and raised the children. That was a BIG deal; providing meant chasing down dangerous animals, and later working in the fields until you just about dropped from exhaustion, or working deep in the bowels of the Earth as a miner, or 14 hour days in a steel foundry. The women had to work hard, no question, but it was cleaner, safer, and less soul-crushing labor. Only when technology made most jobs relatively pleasant did the situation reverse, and immediately women began demanding access to what men did. But then they complained about "patriarchy" and how mistreated they were - especially when the men refused to start doing women's work along with their own.

So often women complain about men not helping with the housework, but they forget it's usually the men who are taking care of the cars, doing repairs around the house, cutting the lawn and gardening, etc. There is a division of labor by necessity. But that is forgotten, especially by the feminists who seek to make women dissatisfied. The reality is the changes to society promoted by feminists is what made women dissatisfied; they have been forced to largely act like men. They know in their hearts this is wrong, and long to be treated like a lady, not another dude in the locker room. But they can't let go of the desire to usurp men's roles because they have been taught their whole lives that they have tobe "tough as men" and act just like men. But they don't like being treated like men when they seek to compete.

Basically the women's movement monumentally screwed over women. And the lies still come. This business about funding only research that benefits men is one example.

At any rate if women want a better deal they need to stop pretending their are mistreated. It's no picnic being a woman, but it sure isn't any better being a man. Just ask any trans individual; it sucks to the point where a lot of guys now are trying to change their sex just to be accepted and not treated so terribly.

THAT is the reason why trans male-to-females are on the rise.

McCaskill: Americans Aren't Smart Enough to Kep Trump from White House

Timothy Birdnow

We used to call her "Air Claire" when she was a Senator because she had an airplane she never paid any taxes on. McCaskill was an atrocious senator who won election pretty much through a massive vote fraud then was re-elected by running largely unopposed when the GOP pulled all support for Todd Akin. Had Jim Talent contested the first race he would have won. Had the GOP just run ads AGAINST McCaskill Akin would have won.

At any rate, she should have slunk away in shame, but here she is shooting her mouth off yet again.

McCaskill: Americans ‘Not Smart Enough’ to Keep Trump from White House

She's not smart enough to keep her mouth shut.

Who are the Misogynists?

Timothy Birdnow

Donald Trump just signed a bill making revenge porn ia federal offense.

Strange; the Democrats claim to be all about women yet THEY never bothered to combat this vile practice. Who is misogynistic here? Trump shows he's got the women's backs; Biden only grabbed their backs (the lower portion).

I would add Trump has taken steps to protect women, from men in their locker rooms or playing on their sports teams to now this. What did Joe do but sniff their hair? And insist dudes be allowed in women's prisons?
