And the real women on that stage smiled and clapped and fluttered around the MAN dressed up as a woman, never batting an eye. In fact, they participated in the whole charade. Why why why are women allowing men to take their places, merely by wearing dresses and lipstick?!?! Women are not costumes!
And then you have women like Riley Gaines and others who have been tirelessly fighting back for true women's rights! This is disgraceful and any woman would buy into this garbage!
About fifteen years ago I was in a meeting with a group of engineers called by the project manager (a female). Somehow the topic of our wives came up (all stay at home moms by coincidence) and the project manager stated, "wait a minute, none of your wives work?" We each acknowledged it. "My husband never gave me a choice" she responded wistfully.
We all made good incomes but none of us were comfortable. We had made sacrifices to live on one paycheck because we valued having our wives raise our kids more than we valued what those dollars would buy us. And by God's grace we all married women on the same wavelength.
In some situations this just isn't possible for whatever reason. But often it is possible, particularly when one factors in that the second income comes along with significant added expenses (child care, auto/gas costs. wardrobe, etc.). But people have been conditioned to think happiness comes in material possessions rather than the joy of raising a family. Couple that with the brainwashing women receive that they aren't complete without a "career" (no one just has a job anymore) and it's a forgone conclusion for many that the parents won't actually raise their own kids. Just like that program manager's husband.
My wife has a science degree and worked in industry until she was pregnant with our first. She was a stay at home mom for eighteen years, and in that time we got used to living on less than we had before. She's now working part-time at a biblical Christian high school as a science teacher, but her salary is a pittance. She's there because we believe in the school and they needed someone, and we are blessed that we are doing well on just my salary (after two decades of living frugally it becomes a habit). She's a missionary in my opinion, as she works far, far harder than what she gets paid, but she gets to show the love of Jesus in doing so. Neither of us would change a thing.
Society has conditioned people to think they need more and more stuff. So they need two jobs to buy all that stuff. 11 years ago my husband and I agreed that I would leave the corporate world to stay home with our (then) 2 kids. Even though at that point I was the one making more money, we knew it was the right step. A total leap of faith. Now I homeschool our 4 children and he has worked hard to earn a significant income for our family. We are still intensely mindful of out budget. My vehicle was totaled last month (thankfully none of us were hurt) - we decided to use the opportunity buy a 15 yr old vehicle for cash and eliminate my car payment altogether. This choice has indeed meant sacrifices for our family but we'd never change it. I will encourage our children to follow their passions, but I do hope they all choose to consider modeling their family life like ours!
We did the same thing. I stayed home for 18 years and homeschooled our daughter while my husband worked very long days to make everything possible. I was so happy when I was able to go back to work and take some of that responsibility off of him. But my “career” has and always will be our household. Women have been sold down the river by feminism.
I would say that corporations, via advertising, have done the conditioning and opinion influencing to go out and buy buy buy. They were, and still are, the ones who profit.
This is our family's story too. I did work part-time, at night as an ICU nurse when the kids were small so they were only in the care of my husband and myself. That got old, quickly, though and I left the work force for 15 years to raise 5 kids. My husband, an engineer, made enough money to provide a nice home, food and activities for the kids. We have never really wanted for anything and that is in large part because we made financial choice very early in our marriage which paid off. Yes, we ate beans and rice and our first home was a true starter home (no granite countertops or hardwood floors), but at the end of the day we never wanted for anything. I wouldn't change a thing (except maybe have a few more kids, believe it or not).
My husband and I bought a “ starter” home right after we were married. We started having kids right away and decided that I would stay home to raise them. We had a modest home, old cars and often hand-me-down clothes but somehow we always had money for books and managed to send them to Catholic school. You have to set your priorities by your morals and things somehow work out. Regarding your “ starter” home- most young families could not afford your home. We have become a nation of materialists who don’t appreciate what we have because we’re always looking for something better. Gratitude is a gift.
Starter homes are where all of us 65+'ers "started" our lives. Because 90% of all urban housing in the US was "starter homes" in the immediate postwar years.
I love my starter home. It beats the hell out of anything constructed now. There are all these crappy apartments going up about 2 miles away. Since I drive by every day, I see the progress. They are literally made of 2x4s and plywood. No steel. No brick. No 4x8s. The roof is held up by 2x4s and cheap plywood. That won't stand a foot of snow. The building itself might not stand an EF1 tornado. And this is 3 stories of that! Oh, and not a bit of insulation. They're being billed as "luxury" apartments. I'd pay real money to see if they are still standing in 15 years.
I was a teacher and what you said, "abused emotionally" by cold teachers was common especially the difficult children.
As a child I probably had ADHD symptoms and was always getting reprimanded. It hurt me, but as a teacher, it helped me understand those kids and make sure they loved to learn and come to school.
My mother was a teacher. She 'loved' kids. She was excellent at her job. She didn't love those kids as much as most parents do but then they, including my parents, sent us to be 'loved' raised by someone else and they would not have liked what we were being taught and it cost them in the long run. Yup we got college educated but there were terrible sins committed and what a cost that we all paid MONEY, $$$$$$ FOR!!
I too was able to stay home with our three kids and I couldn’t be more grateful. Yes, we tightened the belts at times, but we wouldn’t change it for the world.
I can echo the project manager. I was never given a choice, either. My former husband made a 6 figure salary but he expected me to contribute in tangible financial ways. That, among other reasons, is why he is ‘former’.
I did the same thing. Stayed home in the 80’s and 90’s to raise our three kids, all of whom are adults, who are ”living the dream”, as they put it, though I don’t think they have a clue what that really is. After the kids were through college and on their own, I took a part time job helping start up and run an after school program at our parochial school. We had learned to live on one salary for almost 30 years, so while the job paid nothing, we were comfortable and I loved working with the kids. Then covid hit in March 2020, school closed the rest of the year. To reopen the next fall, our governor had a gazillion protocols and rules in place. Sanitary measures up the ying Yang, and masks on everyone, even the preschoolers, just to reopen. Many schools didn’t bother to reopen. School year 2020-2021 was a nightmare. I wanted no part of masking, contact tracing, and constant testing in the land of asymptomatic PCR tests. I talked until I was blue in the face to the principal about reopening without masks, social distancing and constant testing, but he went along with the guidelines. The principal is a very good man but he is a rule follower and non political. That’s the way schools in Michigan were reopening, and that’s the rules he would follow. So I ingloriously retired, and surprisingly did not miss it. For that year the school was like a prison. Parents went along with it because they wanted their kids back in school and many of them were scared by all the fear mongering. I wonder what would have happened if the principal and church had met with parents and told them they would be open without restrictions, but no one seemed to have any say in anything for that horrible two year span. Even though most would admit all of the mandates were not necessary, they seem more than willing to forget about it and get back to normal, whatever that is.
I joined a new church and found God hadn’t left me, I had dismissed him. I found new meaning in everything, and am constantly reminded we are ready for revival on all levels. Heard yesterday by our young pastor, “If it’s just me and God, we still have the majority”.
We won’t do that. It doesn’t make economic sense for me to go get another job just so we can use it to pay for childcare.
I’m retired and my wife luckily is an insurance agent who works from home. So I guess technically, we do have two incomes, though not as much as when I was working.
I get grief here from people when I take shots at the Baby Boomer generation (despite just barely being one myself) but it's for exactly this reason. They led the way in placing their kids in day care or forcing the kids to raise themselves when returning to empty homes. They led they way in divorcing their spouse to go "find" themselves or out of some other selfish desire. They led they way in consumerism and accumulating stuff as a status symbol. They led the way in rejecting traditional morality and embracing vapid pop culture as some sort of life philosophy.
And of course not all Boomers are like this. But far too many are and they wreaked havoc on our society. Many still have not changed after decades of living like this and still put themselves first. Their kids are struggling to buy a home or just get by, yet they are on their umpteenth Mediterranean cruise, the epitome of gluttony and drunkenness. Their Facebook page is nothing but pictures of them drinking alcohol off the coast of Greece or some other self-centered activity. Pictures from their grandkids softball game? Come on, they have busy lives and no time for that.
Many of these people are going to be shocked to find themselves dumped in nursing homes, alone, and wondering why none of their family visits them.
That's what we've done as well, went single income so I could stay at home and homeschool the kiddos, however, hubby's company downsized a little over a month ago and gave him the boot after 19 years...He still hasn't found a new job yet and we're starting to stress :(
I will be praying for you and your husband. I just heard an 80 yr old story this morning about a 10 yr old who boldly prayed for provision and then watched as God came through when no one expected it! All they needed was a hot water bottle(to help keep a tiny baby warm) and, for a doll for the little sister, who had just lost her mother in childbirth. God provided both to a woman in a tiny African village who needed His help, but lacked the faith a 10 year old girl had...Both contained in a parcel that arrived from the states that morning, the first parcel the missionary woman had received during her 4 years in that village, totally unexpected but oh so timely!
I was reading your comment and had to scroll back to see who posted it! I have friends who are both PhD Nuclear Physicists. Mom became a stay-at-home mom and now teaches middle school science at the Catholic School associated with our church.
It’s funny how age gives you perspective. My husband and I are both engineers (both just retired). Because of my childhood, I decided early on to never be ‘dependent’ on anyone, so I worked full-time since my early teen years. (It paid for what my scholarship didn’t cover, and the minimal loans we both had were paid off quickly.) I was very involved with school (volunteered for everything, etc.), but if I could turn back the clock, I would 100% do things differently. Instead, I simply thank God for how my life turned out and will support my daughter in whatever her decisions are about family/career.
Kudos to you and your wife! I hope your children understand how fortunate they are. :)
Thank you! As to gratitude one kid gets it and the other is slowly coming around. God is using him to teach me patience.
It's funny regarding the school as it's not associated with our church but the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (a conservative, biblical denomination). We've grown really fond of the LCMS as these people walk the walk. They are very upfront that they are looking for people to serve rather than make a career, and the pay reflects that. But they give it right back to the community as tuition is around half that of other, local Christian schools (at this school at least, cannot speak for other LCMS schools.).
Both my boys went there after it became clear we could no longer keep them in public schools. The low tuition made that possible, so we are thrilled to be able to help other families make the same choice.
People don't want to sacrifice and have one car or drive an old van. It's what I did. I was a teacher on and off while raising 3 kids. I went back to work when they were of age and they came with me.
let's not forget that INFLATION and these oh so common economic downturns are ALSO ENGINEERED by the "elites" to keep us struggling - and fighting with each other for crumbs, all while blaming Socialists and Marxists - while the Elites laugh at our ignorance.
You're lucky you live in a society with capitalism or you wouldn't have enough time (and may not have lived long enough) to have the luxury of being a keyboard scold.
Your comments are wonderful! We have lived on one income since my husband's first teaching job out of grad school. One can hardly count my part-time pittance income doing temp services until our son was born. We also homeschooled all the way through. We both just began taking social security after my numbers crunching husband figured out the best time to start it. What's a complete blown away surprise to us is how God is using the government to bless us for what we are convinced were the best decisions for our family. We saved for retirement believing social security would provide basically nothing. Our surprise is now we have more money to give away because we don't have to take so much out of our retirement funds!
One usually expects Social Security to cover 40% of pre-retirement income, but in our cases the spousal benefit adds half of that again, making it 60%, but still based on the same pre-retirement single income. A surprise blessing for those who choose family in this way!
The generation that thought you had to work outside the home to be a successful person (as a woman)is also the generation that didn’t want to wait for anything. Whatever their parents had, they thought they deserved in the beginning of their life as opposed to gradually being able to afford the big house , all the new appliances, all the new furniture, the big expensive SUV, etc.
I’ve been a stay at home homeschool Mom since my oldest was born in 2004. It’s been the most fulfilling career I could ever hope to have. That said, i’ve had an entrepreneurial bent and have excerised that gift for the benefit of my family NEVER at its expense. Now that my youngest is 16 I am working more. However I’m my own boss and the kids are still my primary responsibility. Now that I have more time to work for an income we figured out that if I make X for the next decade and we follow our investment plan, we’ll be able to both retire early as planned.
Pulling women into the workplace instantly created more taxpayers. Even the government couldn’t figure out how to tax stay at home moms who do 15 jobs for no income. Get them to work outside the home- now you pay taxes.
2 incomes; more taxes; more stress and breakdown; more govt help required; no father needed, the State and the mother can raise the child; modern global culture is sick from the root to the leaves and everywhere between. More of it is the solution to every problem. Mental health crisis indeed
oh bullshit. CAPITALISM making our lives more expensive in the 80s is how women had to go to work in order for familiies to survive. you are confusing the chicken and the egg.
PLENTY OF WOMEN, given ample respect by their male partners for what they do and ENOUGH INCOME from one to support a whole family, would choose to stay home, raise their children and probably even homeschool to keep them out of the propaganda factories.
Just like plenty of young pregnant Single women would choose to KEEP THEIR BABIES< given enough $$$ support, rather than abort.
LETS make an attempt to revisit the REAL WORLD OF WOMEN once in awhile, just for the heck of it.
not to mention the REAL WORLD of difficult decisions under harsh conditions of capitalism which dont value women, children or families.
Riley is one of very few brave women in sports. I really think if every time a man shows up to compete in something or another pretending to be a woman, every real woman should refuse to compete with him. That might end things fairly quickly if these frauds never had anyone to compete against. This needs to be for every single sport to be effective.
I agree. Unfortunately, Riley didn’t stand up until after it was done. I appreciate that she is now in the fight. It does a disservice to women to all stand by and clap and pretend this is okay and hope someone else stands up and fights for you. Riley, and these other women could’ve moved the needle if they would’ve just stood up when it was happening like you said. Stand NOW! Later is too late.
Damn straight. Now is the time to speak out. You'd be surprised of how many people agree but are paralyzed by social tyranny.
What they are trying to "steal" is our will. They want us to believe there is nothing we can do about it.
They want our will replaced with apathy; that is exactly how the few end up with dominion over the many.
We are currently at indifference. Indifference at critical mass camoflauges the subtle, but quick, feathering into apathy...to the point it is undetected by the masses
Men like this and women like Stormy Daniels used to be scorned by society. I am not saying to be cruel to them, but why is our culture embracing and celebrating such confused and immoral people?
IMO: It is demonic INDOCTRINATION to create more of these types by showing children that it is ok, it is normal.
I’ve been saying the end game is going after ‘the age of consent’… if gender is just a construct- so is age- and a group very much wants access to children… we have been made aware powerful people want access to kids since the Epstein story broke…
They are indoctrinating kids at the kindergarten level with books like ‘Julian wants to be a mermaid’… look that crap up… where they’re telling young boys it’s okay and good to aspire to be drag queens and go to the Coney Island drag parade
Where we used to encourage young boys to be brave … be firefighters and policemen and doctors and teachers and ROLE MODELS…
This is where things have gotten… aspire to be a boy dressed as a girl.
Those books are being funneled into every blue state elementary school
George and Alex Soros want to legalize sex work- likely because it’s a trillion dollar industry… but these are the forces driving the decline of our kids and morality.
It’s dark. The whole thing. I pray about it every day.
Hollywood started the "acceptance cycle" - look how many "major hit movies" involved DESPICABLE PEOPLE--the "Godfather" series for example, "Serpico", "Blow" - I could go on and on and on!! I now think of the Hollywood "crowd" as CLOWNS and MINSTRELS---period!!
yup. first silence....then indifference....then apathy
.

.

Then Manacles.
Things have to get worse. That's the worst part about the whole shit show.
But then again it is hard to separate people from their 3 meals and 4 manacles. But remember it doesn't take a majority of the public to turn the tide.
When you see how many of them use access to women’s private spaces like locker rooms and bathrooms to harass and abuse women, how many are asking to be transferred to women’s prisons then end up sexually assaulting the other prisoners, it seems pretty clear 😕
Well ER, yep and nope..... Went out to shoot pool last night after a nice meal with my family. In the back of the pool hall was a small venue full of a bunch of them having a show. Several of them looked like Ursula from the Little Mermaid but my wife judged that none of them were women. Kinda like an exaggerated Liza Minnelli on steroids if you know what I mean.
A lot of women (not all!) are also sheep. Who did you hear screaming the loudest during the scamdemic? Who got pissed off when someone walked the wrong way down an aisle? Who got furious when I wasn't wearing a filthy face diaper? Every time it was a woman. The term "Karen" exists for a reason, although my aunt by the same name is not and does not appreciate the use of her name by annoying, self righteous, holier than thou women.
Not only women. I had an older man ask me loudly if I’d always been a brat or was it a recent development - as I was arguing with the “doorman” and refusing to wear a mask at the entrance to Costco. I told him I’d always been this way. 😊
The nature of the female is to bring things into the world not change the world. To support and give life and to bring spirit into the world. Imagine what life would be like without women? Soulless.
I am woman I have to agree with Four Winds. Our sympathetic side is what gets us into trouble every time. I thank my father for making me strong and for teaching me to question things and not apologize for it.
Yep! I was daily accosted by a long time friend I'd met when my oldest three daughters were in elementary school. She too, had four daughters, my last came along after her daughters were no longer in elementary school. When covid hit she posted daily on social media, "we all must do our part." Only, that meant following all of the mindless rules, and there were those jabs you had to take to keep her alive, "I'm a cancer survivor, you are protecting me by getting the vaccine!" It got worse as time passed. She couldn't handle my true lack of fear and insistence that therapeutics worked. "I deleted your comment about therapeutics, they don't work and the hospital is full of all ages of people dying because they refused to get it knowing full well it saves lives!" She got really irritated and sent me photos of two who were in the hospital dying, a 9 month old and a 56 year old. There is no doubt those photos were violations but she sent them anyway to get her point across. My husband and I looked at the photos of the baby, and both knew that was a very ill child. Not covid, but kidney disease... We'd seen that before when our friend's baby was born with one barely functioning kidney. The 56 yr old woman, a heavy set diabetic she did not know we knew... I was furious with her for sending both groups of photos and stopped all communication with her after that. But she continued to post daily reminders to "get vaccinated to protect grandparents!" She took her 5 and 7 yr old grandchildren to get their own covid vaccines as soon as they were allowed. It is difficult to even imagine that kind of fear porn...
One of her four daughters reached out to tell me she was in full agreement with me... She texted that her mother refused to visit their new baby... but finally had to give in and stop demanding that the parents be vaccinated before she would arrive. LOL! Another daughter told me she couldn't wait for the jabs to be available for under 5 so that her 8 month old twins could get it!
I know some in sports were told they would lose their scholarships if they objected...the insanity infiltrates upper echelons of these organizations. IMO it's we the people that need to organize to have our voices heard.
That comment rings true so far beyond a "beauty pageant". I'd say stopping WWIII should be a far more important cause to "stand together" in opposition.
The US federal government is the most evil criminal enterprise IN HISTORY. And it's going to be the end of everything if we don't STAND UP TO IT.
Ya know, I started paying attention to how our .gov operated/operates about 20 years ago. Every year since, my eyes have opened wider and wider. And the atrocities keep rolling out like the floats at a Pride Parade. It's like when I found out Rock Hudson was gay.
10 years ago my mother, in her 80's, said she'd never been more frightened of her government. I know.
As a man rapidly approaching the close of my 60’s, I remember writing my first “letter to the editor” around the time I was 15. And, it was published.
I’ve watched aghast all these intervening decades as the political climate and the actions of our “leaders” steadily and relentlessly marched the road to tyranny. And, like many, I lost loved ones and friends over the *covid* debacle as I tried in vain to warn them against taking the experimental jabs. Which took me about 3 weeks to realize there were sinister motives behind.
As pessimistic as my experience should have made me, I still have hope that we can pull civilization out of this death spiral, the cause of which is clearly apathy and complacency. I must for the sake of my grandchildren. No, everyone’s grandchildren.
I, quite unfortunately, think we’re well past the time when these tyrants can be defeated in the voting booth. While we outnumber them by orders of magnitude, they by their nature will and do not hesitate to use violence against their own countrymen in pursuit of their nefarious domination schemes.
We must resign ourselves that we cannot save the good by negotiating with the evil.
The path of resistance is always fraught with danger and peril. And while the outcome is not assured, the outcome of continued complacency and meekness in the face of evil most assuredly is - lives of hellish desperation for future generations. We are maybe a little past the crossroads of history, but “there’s always time to change the road you’re on.”.
“The future’s uncertain and the end is always near.” Jim Morrison
Everything is rigged against us but besides that, living moral lives is key and it has gone out the window.
Everything they do is geared towards destroying the family. I was watching some show on neflix and said to my husband... "Can you see the message they are sending?" It's all climate change and cheating and self serving BS.
Yes, they would have lost scholarships. Instead, they've lost so much more. I'm old enough to remember when most people knew that your integrity, honor and principles weren't for sale. These young ladies have lost ALL for a few thousand dollars in tuition.
Exactly. What good is a scholarship if you have no ability to stand for your convictions, or for right and wrong. What kind of employee will you be once you enter the workforce doors that the scholarship opened?
The kind that will comply with unethical medical mandates? (just spit-balling, here.) TPTB _want_ compliant and complacent worker-bees. The earlier they can 'break' the high-achievers, the better.
If you watch Matt Walsh’s film “ What is A Woman?” he interviews several young, beautiful women who blankly stare at him when he asks them that question. They clearly cannot and WILL NOT answer because…well, you know, the men who think they are women would be betrayed! Or whatever the foolishness du jour demands…ugh
the biological women on that stage smiling at the "abomination" that won are all there for attention. they are women who crave attention or they wouldn't be there.
Pageants used to be a fun way for beautiful young things to get ahead. Those women used to be natural too..little by little, plastic surgery and cosmetic injections created pageants of fake this and fake that became the norm and now this: a fake woman!
Because we live in a fascist state, where if they speak up, they will be demonized, economically destroyed and maybe even get death threats or imprisonment.
I thought it was supposed to be only unmarried women so their year of extensive travel wouldn’t conflict with family life. My, how times have changed, and not for the better.
My mother taught me that at a very young age. I found out when I started working that she was right. "I don't really like women," she told me. In her era, I have to admit, they were constantly belittled in advertising. My mother wouldn't have swooned, for example, over the existence of a new laundry soap.
Jeffrey Tucker from the Browstone Institute just did a video commentary on Laundry and that very subject. Very interesting. Apparently laundry went downhill when they eliminated phosphates because that’s what removed the soap. He posits that it’s the corporate users that create the environmental issues and not an individual’s laundry. But you can use TSP (the real kind- that painters use) from a big box store to add it back into your laundry to remedy that.
omg I know!!! I saw this girl I know on instagram who constantly posts about how men put down women and this week she posted "taking my power back" - and she's in full makeup, showing off so much of her body it's basically nudity. How is that taking back your power? Someone explain that to me?
Me too. I've felt this way since my very first job at 17. The men I worked for were great, easy going, always willing to listen to other opinions, and so on. The female bosses I had were almost all monsters on power trips.
My husband did that in Army Basic Training back in the Vietnam era. End of conflict. The son of a friend made a joking, mild 'yo mama' comment in Basic last year and got reported and counseled. Then he was set up by the guy he said it to, by agreeing with him that their female Drill Sergeant (yes, they do that idiotic thing, mixing sexes) was 'hot.' He got kicked out of the Army for sexual harassment. So, yes, men of yore. Now? Maybe not so much.
true statement. I am disappointed in so many of them. The outright apathy and laziness in some in terms of knowing what the real issues are. And they don't want to understand finance and economics...don't want to face the reality of the policies they vote for and the damage they are doing to our lives. It's much more fun for them to be cool and vote for what's popular.
Couldn't agree more...always the most sniping, always the meanest. And talk about not inclusive. Their little groups exclude everyone they don't like. I learned a long time ago I didn't want to be part of these women when I noticed they sit around saying the most racist, rudest things. They pretend to be for these causes, but when you watch them talk in groups you see how they REALLY feel about people.
Sad but true, Kathleen. I say that as a woman, too. It has gotten so bad that when I hear about something really moronic being decided, said or done, I say to myself "I'll bet that person is a woman" and I'm almost always right. I always choke when I hear someone say how great it would be if women ran the world....well, an awful lot of women are in positions of great and damaging power and look how things are. There are some great and admirable women out there, but it sure seems like the stupidest ones aspire to positions of power and influence.
Isn’t it amazing how they can manage to sniff out every single J6er, no matter where they were standing, but somehow those looters escape detection every time? 🤔
At the risk of being branded a heretic, "Miss" Maryland looked damn good. An A for effort if nothing else. I'd have no idea if I bumped into him on the street, unlike most of these people.
But you are exactly right, as queer as a three dollar bill as we used to say. The fact that people play along with this (out of delusion or fear) is pretty messed up. We live in a post-truth society and it won't end well.
In the mid-90s, I went to drag shows in Columbus because two of my best friends we a gay male couple. My jaw hit the floor when I saw the performers - they looked and dressed better than 90% of the women I saw every day and I could not tell at all that they were guys. They were not over-done, tacky, or obnoxious. They looked like women attending a formal event. There was no nudity and no sexual motions or innuendos. Now, most of these guys look like they ran face first into one of those color festivals where everyone throws colored "talc" (I'm not sure what it really is) all over each other. They are garish, gaudy, and gross.
The man who won "miss" Maryland looks more like the old time performers, but it's still a dude in a dress. The performers I saw knew they were men, and at the end of the night, they went home as men. This guy knows he is a dude, too.
Bottom line - men don't belong in women's sports, pageants, or anything else. If they want to play dress up with other adults outside of that, it's not our problem. It IS a problem when they try to sell their b.s. to others, like kids or a potential partner without being honest. Not OK.
I think this is exactly the problem: it is indoctrination. it ALL is. The minute you tell children this and that is normal and fine, many of them, just by sheer *power of persuasion*, or wanting to seem cool, will join the ranks of the alphabet army.
After watching the movie “Kinky Boots”, which I loved! (😨😫😱) and of course, The Bird Cage with Robin Williams, oh, and let’s not forget Midnight in The Garden of Good & Evil, I used to think the Drag Queen thing was merely camp and restricted to certain cities and populations…but when the DQ Story Hours started to appear, I thought, “Pandora’s Box has been opened…” But now it’s more like Satan’s Gates of Hell have been opened and the demons are pouring out onto Earth. We need to fight back with prayer while wearing our Spiritual Armor! ⚔️🛡️⚔️🛡️⚔️🛡️
And knowing what I know now about people like Kevin Spacey and John Cusack, and all the other “actors” in Hollyweird…it’s obvious we’ve all been lulled to sleep by their spells and programming…and those “actors” are not worthy of the adulation they’ve received all these years. When I see the name of The Mook in Chief (De Niro) I want to spit. (Preferably Beechnut…a la Hank Williams’ song “A Country Boy Can Survive”)
I notice the trans (read: fake) women that do the best job of presenting as female tend to be asian - it has to do with body type and smaller features, I think.
You are the epitome of of a foolish, stupid person. Your first inclination is to call people names and make claims that you have no way of knowing if they are true.
I'll make my own unfounded claim, you are a closet homosexual and the fact that the tranny actually looks good scares you. So you lash out in angry emotion as you are incapable of conducting a intelligent, rational dialog.
Jeff, I disagree, I think he looks UGLY! He also looks plastic and faked….. anyone who is ever in any contest, which is faked in any way should remove themselves and explain why. Cheating is immoral, cheating is evil & spiritually contagious..
The women used to be naturally beautiful young things..now they are all fake from their foreheads to their bottoms...cosmetic injections and plastic surgery, all to fit a certain impossible 'mold' or standard of beauty.
We shouldn’t be having “beauty “ pageants anymore regardless!!!!! Do men have “manly” pageants???? These pageants set real women and teenagers up for failure to reach unrealistic standards. 😡
The men have all the "manly" sports, football, basketball, golf, tennis, etc. and they do not allow trans-women into those sports. It's only trans-men who are allowed into all the "girly" things. Most women have not thought wearing men's attire was a worthwhile thing to pursue, like all of these men now wanting to be women. For some reason it seems lots of men want to get back into their mother's womb one way or another.
I know what you are saying. There are some trans "women" in sports who think long hair and nail polish are all that's needed. That's why I find this particular example VERY troubling. He did do a lot of work and wears a dress well. The hair is beautiful, make up perfectly applied. He and the activists will then say, "she looks better than biological women, you can no longer complain." It's all just so evil and twisted.
TOXIC EMPATHY- It’s a result of what women have been/girls are being taught for years in schools. They think they’re being kind to allow these men into women spaces. Allie Beth Stuckey talks about toxic empathy being a manipulation tool and she has a book coming out about it https://www.amazon.com/Toxic-Empathy-Progressives-Christian-Compassion-ebook/dp/B0D12HS2DV
The left has rewired young women's maternal instinct away from their own children toward "marginalized groups". It serves two purposes at once, 1) it provides women an outlet from their mothering instinct thus aiding depopulation and 2) it provides political support to the left's foot soldiers.
One has to admire the audacity of it as it took seventy years of concerted effort to undo what God himself had put in place, reinforced by thousands of years of tradition. There's never been anything like it, and like every other social upheaval where people think they know better than God, it's resulting in a disaster.
Men also have a role in this. Real women need real men, not limp dicks. So many modern men lack any real masculinity and have, in effect, neutered themselves. Such men encroach on the space needed for women to be women. Can we be surprised that women, confronted with a scarcity of (real) men, feel pressure to take on both the feminine and masculine roles? But then it comes full circle ... real men need to be completed by real women, but they too have become a rare prize. So, we get fake men pretending to be women, and exasperated women trying to fulfill the both the feminine and masculine roles.
Thank you ChrisB! Took the words out of my mouth! WHY are all women not rejecting this INSANITY? He's a cross dresser, and the Marine is gay...change my mind!
One woman walking off the stage in protest would have been so brave but you’re right, they just went along with the emperor’s new clothes like the sycophants these beautiful women are. No wonder they get the reputation for being vacuous.
I went to a regional competition last year (my son was dating a contestant - they broke up soon after) and the women are completely programmed and "groomed" to accept the trans agenda. One contestant even made it part of her answer in the interview portion of the competition. She complimented the organization for advocating for transwomen. Blech.
Question: who exactly spilled the beans about she being a he? And when?
The he/she persons of the world want to be seen as women, so. . . Would it have BEEN him? Or another contestant? Or pageant officials? And if so, how would they have known?
Usually the voice gives it away. Women who try to become men take testosterone and I suppose that is what deepens their voices. But there is no way to fix the voice when men want to be women. It's virtually always still an obviously male voice.
Those women were wearing costumes in much the same way that the man was. The women who participate in beauty pageants are really not the brightest lights in the house.
I know a few young women who have participated in the beauty pageant circuit and they are very high-achieving individuals. It really attracts a wide array of people. I don't judge them though I wouldn't encourage it for my own daughters. I would, however, draw the line at competing with a man in the competition. Just withdraw.
Sure, but some aspects of our society are rotten, and I'm not going to fight against those aspects being destroyed. In my view, if beauty pageants get taken down, that's a silver lining.
With all due respect, this problem isn’t going to go away until those women directly involved decide to stop it.
Just imagine the statement that would have been made had those first women who found themselves on the UPenn starting blocks with Will (aka: Lia) Thomas simply stood there when the gun went off and turned their backs while Will swam his “championship” 500 meters.
Not until women have the courage of their convictions and the willingness to endure the social media attacks generated by haters on the Left will they once again enjoy the recognition and opportunities that should accrue to those who spend years of dedication and hard work devoted to achieving their very best.
If you will, consider all the little girls who once wanted to follow their dreams, but now say, “Why bother?” Isn’t it time to stop this nonsense, ladies? Just say “NO"...we will support you!
go along to get along is heavily conditioned. our natural penchant is to be creative, active, healers, nurturers, ferocious in protection of our offspring whether art or child or environment
Because most real women are too kind to mention the elephant in the room. Men want to win just for the sake of winning. Women compete for more complicated reasons. How can you put winning as a first priority and still support and encourage your fellow contestants that aren’t being scored as well as you are?
As soon as he entered the contest he won. I’m guessing his celebrity status as a women, being held hostage in a man’s body but bravely escaping to bloom into a “true” woman was what swayed the judges into his court.
What I'm wondering is if the real women in these competitions are smiling and seemingly open to the male who is beating them, underneath are they even a little bit angry???
Most women tend to be empathetic and the trans activists have weaponized it against them. Still. Time to resist, ladies, because this won't stop until you say it does.
Alina and Zeynep (if that is their real names) are well known to those of us that have followed the inner workings of the Covid narrative. They are both of a type we know all too well, members of the establishment that broach seemingly taboo topics but never really stray too far from orthodoxy.
They are the epitome of controlled opposition in my opinion, allowed to throw us mouth-breathers a bone every now and then. Their role is to manage disclosures in the Watergate-famous "modified limited hang-out" manner. When the existing narrative becomes unmanageable, they are used to steer it in a more manageable direction. They are allowed to make concessions, but only those approved for the new narrative.
The good news is that this shows that the old narrative has lost credibility and those running the show know they are in danger of losing the upper hand. But the fact it's from these two, and in the New York Times to boot, should make clear exactly what's going on. It's a tactical retreat, not an admission of guilt.
The reason they care about (and spend billions of $ on) narrative control and censorship is the same as the reason they hold "snap" elections. They know if the resistance and voice against their policies grows to the tipping point, they can no longer control it and it will take them out.
They've been pretty good about timing this "market" in the past, but I think they're a bit behind on this one. Too much ruling class elite echo chamber has done them in. They believed their own nonsense.
Well over half this country had concluded everything in that article 2+ years ago. Still, interesting that if they are putting this out now, it means their base - the branch covidians themselves - are starting to see cracks and ask questions. Now we can slow walk them to the real conclusion: it wasn't an accident, it wasn't just China, etc.
Thanks. In fact, I figure the fact that they "admitted" the China lab leak is pretty clear proof that the origin was elsewhere, likely the Ukranian biolabs (which don't exist -- err, they exist ha ha but only as defense -- LOOK OVER THERE! OMG IT'S PUTIN IN A LAB COAT WITH TEST TUBES!!) !or possibly even Ft Detrick, from where they ostensibly moved the research for "legal" reasons... Cos they're so law-abiding.
And it was an “ accident”, a leak, an uncontrolled release, a mistake, and garountee you that’s gonna be the tell. Because when the world finally finds out it was intentionally done, and obeyme and nanzi’s prints are all over it, watch out!
Alan Devincentis… (and Andrew the Great) … responding yesterday to your comments, part of my response reflects the extreme intentional culture change of todays C&C…
Are we not experiencing the actual definition of democide: “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:”
(a) Killing members of the group; (hidden, censored by media… Covid jab died suddenly deaths and injuries)
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (truth movement and Christians)
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; ( should be obvious, gender, family destruction, trans LBGTQ++++, the list of American cultural values and weaponized lawfare actualities are so obvious)
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; ABORTION AGENDA
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group… Trans agenda etc
Yes…. Intentionally done Nazi Communist Marxist regime change prints all over it
Msm parallels BP parallels Congress and the WH, all coordinated for optimal effect. When any of those players tell us, “We found the truth, the cure, and the solution!” count on it being another self-serving lie, evil’s only game. Can anything less than calling on Jesus Christ and defunding the fed restore our liberties and democratic republic?
Hopefully, this time, the real nazis working in our government have gone too far. In the past, the government always took a little more money or a little more of our freedom, slowly, so that most people didn't notice. But with these shots, people like Alina were advocating killing parents, children, friends. Hopefully, and that is a big hopefully, people will notice.
In past operations, Fauci denied bactrim to marginalize gays back in the 1980s and allowed thousands to die or experimented on orphaned black kids with AIDS or tortured beagles locked away in lab, all groups on the fringes of society. Hopefully, they people behind this movement to kill, maim, and control have overreached, because even useful idiots like Alina have family and friends she advocated to kill for her 30 pieces of silver.
Zeynep is also the "social media influencer" at the heart of the Cochran study that said masks don't work. So, whatever this one says, I'm a bit suspicious.
I will say Limited Hangout until I see some of the villians in jail.
It definately was a confusing scary time where we didn’t have good information, but that was just our perception. Actually there was piles and piles of information. There was so much information that THEY had to shut down the flow of it any way possible. We ,the herd, were kept confused and scared and told that everyone was just as in the dark as we were.
That was a lie.
A massive effort was made to keep the public in the dark.
What’s wrong with tranparency?
Why does every question only get answered after a FOIA submittal and a 2 year wait? Because they don’t want to go to jail. When you do illegal stuff you should pay the consequences.
All the theater is a stall to allow enough time for us to get bored and move on to some other shiny chicken.
(Deep down I think these are exciting times where finally the truth may set us free but patience is called for.)
All the facts about covid that have been proven right with time were available in alternative media within a month or two tops of March 2020. All the facts since proven true about the vaccine were available within a month or two of the Dec 2020 rollout (and suspected even before the rollout, with some knowledgeable commentary available prior to rollout).
The facts were not hard to come by if one was willing to look.
I was suspicious in January, more so as I was reading and researching like crazy all through February, and by March I knew without a doubt that I wasn't afraid of covid and I would never get near any sort of "vaccine." It didn't take all that much effort to be informed in a rational way!
Absolutely. The hysteria kept A LOT of people from being willing to look. Even now, as Jeff highlighted, many of the hysterics that make up the NYT readership still aren't willing to look, even when prompted by the limited hangout articles.
Yes! Once you get unhooked from the elite Democrat party media, the truth is there hiding in plain sight. I went looking for an article from March 2020 in the New Yorker magazine about the lab leak theory and the furin cleave markings. Can’t locate it, but I recall distinctly reading it very early on.
Yes....I read all that stuff very early on too...it had to have been February. The furin cleavage site info and Kristian Anderson's (and some others) comments on how the covid genome released by the Chinese could not have happened naturally all quickly got censored by the internet censors and disappeared for several years as I could not find it again. I had bookmarked some things that would no longer connect.
Trying to wrap my head around the NYT commentor saying Tufekci’s “criticism . . . hyperbolizes the truth,” as if it’s better to whitewash the truth. Nope. Gently chiding a mass murderer is anarcho-terrorism.
Sooooo “over estimating and hyperbolizing the truth” is to expand or enlarge the truth to a ridiculous extent to make a point? This is a bad thing? If Elizabeth had been from anywhere but pretentious NYC and spoken more plainly what would it have sounded like?
Let me help you understand what she’s saying.
Pointing out the truth is bad.
Pointing out lots of truth and stressing those truths is VERY bad.
Now that we can look out the rear window at the road we just traveled, of course we can see that it’s littered with injured people (that probably explains all the bumping and lurching that we felt for the last couple years and maybe even the screaming and yelling) but, when we were looking forward at the time all we could see was the empty smooth blacktop stretching into infinity. However, now that it’s over, she’s glad that the peeps in power, acting on untruth, caused all of us, at the time, to be safe and healthy and not die. They did this miracle by keeping us alert.
I wanted to flesh out the “new ways of being alert” she was referring to but when I look out the rear window I see that all that alertness was in reality the problem and not the fix.

My husband and I went to Beale AFB yesterday to shop, and at the entrance was an electronic sign that blared it was Gay Pride Month (that blurb got about 2 seconds on screen and then disappeared), but I never saw more than that one thing. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes there, but at the commissary and PX , there was absolutely no sign of anything to do with pride garbage. I'm hoping it was just an obligatory sign they were forced by superiors like Lloyd Austin to run.
“And veterans only get one day”. I wish my LIKE ♥️ button worked Kathleen. You voiced my agitation on who gets praised (with a whole month) and who barely gets noticed.
My LIKE button has been inoperable for that length of time too. For the weeks leading up to it going dead, it was wonky and would only work if I refreshed the page, then…. 💀 it just died completely😵.
Keep fighting for veteran’s and active service members rights Kathleen. I’m betting almost everyone on C&C supports your efforts, including me.
Which is what makes me lean toward China being behind a lot of this CRT/DEI nonsense. What better way to weaken your enemy than to take out their men and erase masculinity as a concept? Of course, the WEF types are stupid enough to actually believe it's a good thing, so it could be them. And Soros is always an option. But it seems like a military psy-op that's worked very well.
Eventually China will be able to merely threaten us and what's left of our military, lacking both adequate enlistment numbers and material (because Ukraine has been gifted it) will simply surrender.
Honestly, I don't think China is the immediate threat. I believe the Marxists have intentionally neutered the military and driven out the real men so that when they deploy the 2+ million alien men they have recruited and trained as blue-helmeted UN troops against the American people - to keep the peace and protect democracy - the US military will not oppose them. Think about it. The occasion for this deployment could be the assassination of Trump after he wins the election but before he takes office. Biden could then deploy the "UN peace keeping" troops to "prevent an insurrection" and protect democracy (ie, the Marxist coup). This would be the final coup de grace to the heart of American liberty. Biden would then be free to name his successor.
This is more or less how Hitler consolidated power in Germany by burning down the Reichstag German parliament. Also has similarities to Lenin and Stalin. Marxists are very predictable as they do not change their MO.
China doesn't care about us in the way the militarists think. They've invested heavily in the US. Bonds, real estate, stock, etc. And care about their investment. Whoever governs the US only matters to them insomuch as if their investment is protected, producing returns. They're obviously not committed to Marxist economic policies, central global control. Will be happy to control their own region. That whole, "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" thing. As long as whoever leads the US doesn't take away their investments they'll be content with whatever a regional US power does internally, "with American Characteristics."
All are glowing examples of a society that hates the Almighty Creator GOD and has aligned themselves with the evil deceiver who seeks to kill, steal, and destroy every human being. Total destruction is the end goal.
Maybe someone else has commented about this, but if Bailey is "married," then how can he/she even participate in a "Miss" pageant? Rules? Ha, rules are made to be broken.
So the husband wants someone who looks and acts like a woman but has gay sex? So looking like a woman is ok but having female parts isn’t? I just can’t with those people.
Two gay men, one pretending to be a woman because they both get off on it that way. I know one gay male couple who are kind of disgusted by this, interestingly enough.
I don't know what to be more shocked over (Miss Maryland). The fact a man won a women's pageant or the fact all the biological female contestants surrounded him and happily cheered his win.
Women, the only way out of this madness is to STOP participating in these events. If enough women stand up and denounce these atrocities, these events won't survive.
I agree completely. But how on earth do you get these women to get furious over all this if they aren't already? I remember when my granddaughter was about 13 (12 years ago!) we went to a volleyball game she was in. I immediately noticed that every single time her team messed up, missed a ball etc. they high-fived each other. I couldn't believe it and asked my daughter why they were doing that. She didn't know, but didn't find it as odd as I did. I think some of the stupidity conditioning was going on back then.
That's what the left wants. They left wants to destroy everything it touches. How do you fight against an enemy that wants to destroy everything no matter how that happens. I was wondering about the whole Bud Light thing. Was the end game to take down an American Icon? The parent company didn't lose anything because they owned the competitors like Modelo whose sales went up. But many hardworking Americans lost their retirement that they had in stock shares. It's like they box us in and there's no good way out.
This always makes me think of Rush Limbaugh predicting that they wanted to destroy football since it is such a representation of America. I think there is truth to the idea that they want to destroy iconic institutions and traditions.
I miss Rush daily. 💔🎙️Not just his commentary and his Stack of Stuff, but his positivity & happiness (and from years ago, all the fake commercials) I wanted to shop at Spatula City🤣
I say we take down the beauty pageants. They were never about true beauty anyway, just upholding toxic standards. How many young women have developed eating disorders trying to look like models? Women have far, far more to offer than their looks. If mentally unstable men want to help expose beauty pageants for the scam that they are, I'm completely in favor of that!
Except, as is already the case, it'll likely go more toward teaching adolescent and teen girls that if they're uncomfortable in their maturing bodies, it must be because they're actually boys, not because they see themselves as imperfect, overweight, etc.
Well, these parents are ruining the sport by not thinking past themselves. The scores & times these trans are achieving in female sports is through the roof. They're setting records no biological female can or will ever be able to beat.
If you think Miss Maryland is shocking, wait til you see Miss Alabama. The Paris Olympics are going to be a schisse show. How do you say Auslander Raus in French?
I think that these situations are a deliberate attempt to destroy the culture. Not that beauty pageants are high culture by any means, but in the US they have been a kind of "folk" culture, captures the attention of the masses and harmless enough. So I see this as a deliberate attack on popular culture. Laying the groundwork for communist infiltration. So who is behind it? Were those organizing the pageant bought off? Neither of these "winners" should have been in the pageants to begin with. Definitely an agenda being pushed.
I don't think beauty pageants are "harmless." They uphold ridiculous and unnatural standards of feminine beauty, and contribute to teenage girls and young women being appearance and image obsessed, developing eating disorders and body dysmorphia, etc. Women should boycott these events altogether
I don't think most people take them that seriously. Beauty pageants are really just kind of a side show, popular entertainment. If someone develops an eating disorder, something is amiss psychologically; it is not because of the existence of beauty pageants. I just think that physical beauty is just another human trait and that those lucky enough to be beautiful should not be disparaged (or mocked as the 400 pounder and male contestant are doing.)
I think that beauty pageants exacerbate mental health problems in young women and teenage girls. They already would have a tendency to obsess about appearance during that period of their life, but I believe that this tendency is greatly encouraged by many aspects of society, not just beauty pageants, but also social media, and the false images of physical perfection on TV, on magazines, everywhere you look. Beauty pageants are just one aspect of that, and I was mostly talking about the contestants developing eating disorders as a direct result of them.
As a participant in the Miss America Pageant System as a youth, and a current stay at home, homeschool mom, I support this pageant system. It teaches young women, decorum, poise and how to wear makeup/clothes that are appropriate for the situation. It’s teaches young women how to speak eloquently with strangers and how to handle an interview well. This theft of something good for something evil is more evidence of what’s going on in the world. The idea of the pageant is valuable and I hope it can be a force for good again.
I think young women could learn decorum and poise without also learning that their looks are the most or even the only important thing about them and that most of them will be second at best in that category. Beauty culture is toxic for young women and some aspects of it are now starting to affect young men as well.
just how harmless is it to corral young girls into thinking that wearing I'm a sex object clothes and mincing around mouthing idiocies is a useful career path? as opposed to climbing trees, building forts, riding horses, enjoying math and science, learning an instrument, writing songs and singing them, building houses, being an electrician, computer programmer, making movies and everything else that makes us human.
I don't think it is an either/or. Can't I ride horses and be in a beauty competition as well. Interesting that you appear to value so many areas where men are known to excel (electrician, computer programming, building forts ). Beauty pageants are built around a society's standard of beauty. All societies have a standard of beauty. It is part of human nature. If a young woman is gifted with physical beauty, and seeks the acknowledgement of a competition, how is that different from a sports or other competition? Competition is entrenched in our society.
absolutely do what ever rocks your boat. men excel at the wide variety of human experience because they are conditioned to from birth. women have been actively excluded /steered away from them. and are equally gifted in every aspect of being human along with men. however there is only so much time energy attention available to all of us. ps our all girls group of 8-11 yo's built our fort. I designed and did much of the carpentry on my house. I clean my chimneys, work on my car, garden, kayak, bike, train dogs as do many of my women friends.
Are you willing to also associate this with girls dance, cheerleading, baton twirling, etc.? Could these exercises, disciplines be performed without excess in paint, costume or adult entertaining imitation? And no gender or age respect.
But look who’s going along with it. LOTS of people, and that is the danger. In both NYT and the tranny Miss A story we have mind-controlled (-less) readers and viewers. It’s not the perpetrators but the followers who are dangerous.
“Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions.” —Primo Levi
Hard to say who exactly. Could be CCP via Confucius Institute seeding these terrible ideas into university settings. Could be Soros looking to cause chaos and take the US down. Could be WEF/EU and their flying monkeys trying to tank the US to take control of the West.
The sole purpose is to destroy traditional norms and values and replace them with deviant ones that undermine the society itself. As Barry said: fundamentally change America. And we all know the rumors about him and his...wife...(and we know he works for the EU/WEF).
But, whoever it is, it isn't some organic thing. It's manufactured. Talk to actual young people the age of these two beauty pageant "winners" and you'll see they think it's nuts. Talk to the people who watch these things and they think the same.
The only people who want this are the people running these shows and their funders - the ruling class elite - who have been propagandized to insanity.
As with everything they do, after it's caused a bunch of misery and chaos, it will backfire and like the NYT talking about covid policies, they'll pretend it never happened or that it was just a misunderstanding based on "partisanship." We'll have to remind them why it actually happened.
👆🏻🎯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻…. Stunning, frightening how SILENT WEAPONS for QUIET WARS has been implemented…allegedly a Bilderbergers written plan presented to the cult in May 1979. stopthecrime.net
You raise an excellent point. I had not thought about it, but it is the elite's way of saying, again, "we control everything." Really just another way of saying, "eat the bugs" or "you will own nothing and like it." Here they are mandating, "call the man a woman and say that fat is beautiful!"
I feel sorry for those who may be dating in this era. These surgeries are getting so good you won’t know if someone is truly female until you get intimate — or you ask on the first date.
Hopefully these singles are hanging around the right circles (ie freedom loving people) so they won’t have to worry about any of that.
Or just ask them if they are "opposed to the Woke Agenda to push LGBTQ on everyone", and you're virtually guaranteed that if they are trans, they will slap you, call you a bigot, and walk out.
I read about a man who was arrested fairly recently for spiking his dates’ drinks with Viagra and Cialis because “you never know” and I don’t think that I blame him.
I’m not sure if the Olympics have any protection against this. FINA, which is the international governing agency, which makes rules for the world championships in swimming ,(not the Olympics) says that a person has to compete as whatever sex they were at the age of 12. Luckily, in our country, even if he was still competing, Our Olympic level women (like Katy Ledecky) could still kick Will Thomas’s ass. I believe he has retired now. Oooooo! I said his dead name!!!Sue me!
Sorry but the whole Beauty is in the eye of the beholder bullshit is just that. Bullshit. That poor young thing will be a medical case all her life until she dies of something that wouldn’t happen if she wasn’t so fat. And that used to be something to be ashamed of. But alas, fat shaming is a crime. So let’s pretend she’s pretty, poised, thin, and attractive. Don’t believe your lying eyes.
Ok so you don't like her weight. It's unhealthy. Whatever. She tried. Ten times. She is a person AND a woman. And she can and they did. Whatever. As a woman that has had great struggles to find a HEALTHY weight... What is that anyway? Gov has set a standard but some don't fit that. Hollywood also sets a precident and it stinks to high heaven. Men acquire an interest based on the same models!!
I'm not saying you are all wrong but you aren't a woman dealing with a woman's hormonal change every week from ten to the test of her life. Personally I HATE beauty contests but as a youth I did learn how to walk in heals with poise. Perhaps that's all the judges should be looking at. 😁
Thank you for your response. You're right of course. I'm old and hormonal and although i actually am built like Marilyn M/Norma Jean I was never tall enough for a beauty contest. And the pressure women have to be built like a contest winner, a picture of perfection, can be deadly. And it IS ALL ABOUT HORMONES!! You've missed the point.
Btw I am not praising AL for this decision. I hate "beauty" contests for ppl of every gender and age.
There is a change in narrative. The last several decades our ideas of fitness and healthy body weights have shifted. Eating home prepared foods gave way to fast foods and more sugar in everything! We now have a teenage obesity catastrophe that Covid only made worse. For two years weddings were put on hold because all venues were shut down. Now weddings seem to be back in vogue, but the bride looks like a sausage stuffed into a too tight casing. 80% of the brides I see now are most definitely overweight and the trend does not seem to be slowing.
I do get your point, but the whole idea of beauty pageants is not to choose someone who is ordinary but someone exceptional on several levels, including appearance. Of course that’s somewhat subjective (I think the plastic looking Barbie types are not that beautiful personally, although they seem to be a popular choice for many people) but I feel like the whole idea is being turned on its head. Like men winning women’s swim meets and breaking records in women’s sports.
Well yes, they did throw those in but they are called “*beauty* pageants” for a reason. It’s definitely a focus on physical beauty. I have no illusions about that. I personally think someone’s talent or poise in how they speak and present themselves helps add to the. purely physical part of their beauty so it made sense to add that. But it’s clearly only tangentially important. To be frank I haven’t watched any or cared about them in decades. I think the plastic surgery and the genuflecting to wokeness took away any of their validity or interest they may have had. Still, even though I don’t really care that much about pageants, I resent this idea of again trying to pretend that someone who was born a man can be “the nation’s most beautiful woman.” 😕
Never could walk in heels. I am short (under 5’) and heels give me nose bleeds from the height. So scary when I can see the refrigerator top shelf without a step stool.
Lol that last sentence made me giggle, love the way you phrased that! 😆😁 I personally love heels but I found a couple of pairs that are actually comfortable even wearing them for hours (it’s quite the miracle let me tell you!). I totally get why some women dislike them and won’t wear them though! I feel the same way about Birkenstocks 😆😛
🤣 one time while shopping with a friend, I tried on these ridiculously high heals. I could see over the store shelving and my head felt like it was spinning. 😂 I get where you are coming from! 😂
Interesting that when I tried to find out how much she actually weighs, I couldn't find a single article that gave her weight. She has to be over 400 lbs, though.
🤣😂🤣 Jeez. She’s a gluttonous pig. Say I’m mean (which is why pigs are winning contests -everyone has to virtue signal) and unfair. She isn’t a role model. Young women should not look up to her. She didn’t win because of her hard work and merit. She won because she is grossly obese. Think of all the dead animals that had to go into making that carcass! Think of all the extra trash she generates -not environmentally friendly.
Physical beauty has objective, measurable standards -- facial symmetry, a 0.7 waist to hips ratio, and a healthy BMI. The Degenerate Freak Mafia® hates these standards and, along with the (((culture curators))), have bent their black souls to the destruction of truth and beauty standards.
Women, naturally being followers and easily swayed by advertising have taken up the torch of denigrating the standards of truth and beauty.
Straight, White, Northern European, benevolently patriarchal Protestant Christian. You know, the same ones who conquered North America and developed the USA.
Alabama has one of the highest obesity rates in the US. It makes sense to me that they would choose someone who looks like the majority of people who live there.
500? Just short of never being able to leave the house again. They had better put some monitoring on her if she’s going to be able to stay slim enough to make public appearances.
Yes when I first heard about Miss Alabama I hadn’t seen pics so I thought oh she must be one of those big girls not exactly obese but couldn’t be a size 2 ever. Then I saw her. No she’s just fat fat I mean she has rolls on rolls. WTH?! But at least she’s not a man.
Reflexive partisan politics derailed an honest conversation about Covid for the past four years? Are they kidding us right now? The only thing that derailed an honest conversation of Covid was the absolute shutdown of any opinions contrary to mainstream media, Fauci, the CDC, and the WHO. This is utter nonsense. Honesty was subverted. Buried. Anyone asking questions was canceled. Polls were taken and articles were published staring they wanted contrarians like us locked up and removed from our family and polite society. They didn’t want us treated in hospitals. And NOW they want to have an honest conversation? The American people should be outraged over this op ed. The New York Times may have unwittingly woken up a majority of Americans, who were not in the know until now. We can only pray.
I mean they censored pilloried Martin Kulldorff and Bhatacharya- Kulldorff was even FIRED from Harvard. Now they want a discussion? They can kiss my… you are SO right we should be incensed!
There will never be an honest conversation. The important thing for them is to keep propagandizing "covid" to ensure that no matter what you believe about the "origin" you believe that it was a REAL pandemic--that's the message these fake debates are driving home. That regardless of lab or bat, you NEED chemical injections to survive.
Let's watch--I'm betting they never settle the argument.
According to Randy Thornhill, in The Parasite Stress Theory of Human Values, we get more authoritarian under the threat of infectious disease, so this incessant debate, which actually acts as cover for whatever really happened, plus the new bird flu hysteria, keep people not only in fear, but in tribalism, and leaning towards authoritarianism. Not an accident.
Yes--definitely not an accident. I don't think there is a single mainstream news article or newscast anymore that is an "accident." It's scripted from start to finish, down to the last detail.
Covid was a strategized operation, nothing to do with bats or Wuhan. That is why they keep pretending to have the argument.
From Sasha Latypova's Substack today:
DemocracyManifest recently published an excellent post mentioning the pandemic crime cartel preparations for future fake scares to continue solidifying real tyranny, or as they call it “ecosystem”.
The post included the White House’s “Health Security Strategy” Document. It was such an Orwellian masterpiece, that I thought that a translation into human language was necessary.
So, an ambitious five year plan for the USG to “invest” citizens’ tax dollars in the Global Medical Countermeasure Ecosystem. You can get the drift without reading the fine print…
Thanks Nard! The NYT is NOT your friend. This limited hangout (that WAS the call, Jeff. I appreciate and love your optimism, but just sayin') only serves to legitimize the narrative that this was a real pandemic, which it was not. Read Sasha Latypova and Denis Rancourt for the details. So now, if you follow their logic, everything will be OK, this time. We now have early confirmation from the Peter McCullough article referenced yesterday that the avian flu is Lab-leaked. Oh, so we're being honest this time, and transparent, and really sorry about the leak, but, lucky for you, we have now PERFECTED the mRNA platform!!! Queue up, everyone!!
Some of us aren’t, but I agree, the ones who are cheering have no leg to stand on to complain about men taking over or anything like that. Bunch of tools.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, in Your name did we not prophesy, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, [l]sexual immorality, wickedness, [m]covetousness, [n]maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, [p]unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. Romans 1:28-32
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their [i]women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the [j]men, leaving the natural use of the [k]woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. Romans 1:26-27
Therefore, God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen Romans 1:24-25
They could never kill you with covid--that was all propaganda. There was not a single person who died at home "from covid." Think about that, considering that they want to say 1 million died.
I don't think so--I think those stories are props. They knew they couldn't do it, but even those stories accomplish one main thing: they prop up the "virus in a lab" idea. It was never deadly or transmissible. The entire story, inclusive of hundreds of sub stories like these, is a staged, scripted event.
AL, I do have to add that the delayed but intense inflammatory cascade did kill many, especially during the first wave. But noooo, it’s too dangerous to use steroids and anticoagulants. Then they added vents (instead of BiPap) and Remdesivir and you know the rest of the story. But there were indeed ‘real’ Covid deaths.
I don't believe there was any real "intense inflammatory cascade" except in the media. Think about that for a while. Unless one was hospitalized (where they could say and do anything to kill people) it just wasn't happening.
There was sickness--I had something myself, but it felt more like a poisoning.
Sorry AL, you’re mistaken. The virus itself almost never kills. It’s mostly the over activation of the complement system leading to cytokine storm that kills. Causes inflammation of the blood vessel linings, leading to clots and ruptures among other organ damage. Well before we had the shots and the deadly hospital protocols, these deaths were occurring. Think about why some folks got sick so quickly, and even died enroute to the hospitals. Truth. Not everyone developed this of course, but it’s real and deadly.
Complement cascade in severe forms of COVID-19: Recent advances in therapy. Eur J Immunol. 2021 Jul;51(7):1652-1659. doi: 10.1002/eji.202048959. Epub 2021 Apr 10. PMID: 33738806; PMCID: PMC8250085.
Right, I disagree. That is the controlled opposition narrative. Who is to say that was not over-hyped and/or caused by something else. It disappeared as quickly as it appeared and did not "spread" like a virus would. Lots of problems with this narrative.
Often reported was actual feeling better for a few hours or a day, followed by rapid decline. Most all severely ill Covid patients bumped their tests showing blood clotting and heart inflammation. It’s easy, given all the falsehoods we’ve endured, to blame everything on hysteria and the media, but the first wave was indeed deadly to some. Unaccountably, it wasn’t all the sick and the elderly. Nutritional status (e.g. Vit D deficiency) probably played a role, and being on certain anti inflammatory drugs (like for rheumatoid arthritis) and anti hypertensives (ACE inhibitors) seemed protective.
No surprise that both the disease and the shots lead to blood clots and heart inflammation; shots much, much worse because of the persistence of the spike protein.
I have to say I was amused by Prof. Tupekci vilifying “doing your own research.” In theory they teach you that very thing in school and it was one of the lamest rebuttals of the Covid era in my book! The irony is killing me.
Honestly it was the media coverage of Trump from 2016-2020 that made me start "doing my own research" on covid. I was so disgusted by the absolute lies they reported on him that I knew something was fishy about covid/vaccines/masking from the beginning. Thank god for early vaccine skeptics on Twitter or I would probably have gotten one.
That was definitely a contributing factor for me too. And a lot of things just not making sense. Plus my reaction to fear is research and asking questions to determine how well founded the fear is (it either usually isn’t or it might be but the research allows me to find alternatives or solutions).
Shocking NYT op-eds indeed! But those comments...I truly can't even begin to understand how mainstream humans think in 2024.... so many still defending the powers that be. It's even worse when you read the comments on mainstream media coverage of the recent Fauci testimony. Rabid defenders of the rat, claiming right-wing conspiracy. How??
I wanted to add that today's theme of "shocking" was really fitting for me this morning. Just found out that a young acquaintance's husband (early-mid 40s) just died "suddenly and unexpectedly" (literally his widow's own words). They were big vaccine proponents. Shocked (but not)...and extremely sad.
I'm very sad. They are very sweet, kind, and giving people (and not overly obnoxious about their vaccine love) who indeed got duped. They didn't deserve this. It's truly tragic.
The fact that these comments were in the slimes, by none other than full blown prog ideologues, proves the fact that the whole thing was turned political by the very powers that could have not made it political. And women, you’ve got to get your shit together. Half of you are becoming awfls. WTF?
Was just thinking this the other day, how I used to get more naturopathic results to searches on Google for medical conductions than I do now. Was looking for alternative treatments for cervical dystonia and every search led to the same (pharmaceutical intervention) results. I’ve already had one round of Botox injections in my neck and upper back that did nothing (and for which my insurance paid $5800), but massage therapy isn’t covered? 😡😡🤦🏼♀️
I noticed the disappearance of alternative health information from Google searches a year or 2 before 2020. Many already cancelled or removed from the searches. They were getting ready.
My daughter did an intensive with them in March for post-concussion syndrome. We heard several dystonia success stories while we were there and her doctor (Dr Weston) said those types of cases are actually his favorite to treat. We came from PA -don't let distance discourage you. They are world-class!
I've been suspended since May of 2021, for a mild, agreeable comment on my professional areas of expertise - medicine and public health. Even Elon's arrival hasn't changed my status.
Although I can see why businesses use it because it provides a pre-made platform for then instead of the business having to pay and monitor a stand alone website.
And the real women on that stage smiled and clapped and fluttered around the MAN dressed up as a woman, never batting an eye. In fact, they participated in the whole charade. Why why why are women allowing men to take their places, merely by wearing dresses and lipstick?!?! Women are not costumes!
And then you have women like Riley Gaines and others who have been tirelessly fighting back for true women's rights! This is disgraceful and any woman would buy into this garbage!
I hate to say it but it's just as damaging to women pursuing careers at the expense of family.
Let's be honest that's the primary reason 2 incomes are needed to survive for most families.
That ideologic transformation is also how we became the "product" and not the consumer.
About fifteen years ago I was in a meeting with a group of engineers called by the project manager (a female). Somehow the topic of our wives came up (all stay at home moms by coincidence) and the project manager stated, "wait a minute, none of your wives work?" We each acknowledged it. "My husband never gave me a choice" she responded wistfully.
We all made good incomes but none of us were comfortable. We had made sacrifices to live on one paycheck because we valued having our wives raise our kids more than we valued what those dollars would buy us. And by God's grace we all married women on the same wavelength.
In some situations this just isn't possible for whatever reason. But often it is possible, particularly when one factors in that the second income comes along with significant added expenses (child care, auto/gas costs. wardrobe, etc.). But people have been conditioned to think happiness comes in material possessions rather than the joy of raising a family. Couple that with the brainwashing women receive that they aren't complete without a "career" (no one just has a job anymore) and it's a forgone conclusion for many that the parents won't actually raise their own kids. Just like that program manager's husband.
My wife has a science degree and worked in industry until she was pregnant with our first. She was a stay at home mom for eighteen years, and in that time we got used to living on less than we had before. She's now working part-time at a biblical Christian high school as a science teacher, but her salary is a pittance. She's there because we believe in the school and they needed someone, and we are blessed that we are doing well on just my salary (after two decades of living frugally it becomes a habit). She's a missionary in my opinion, as she works far, far harder than what she gets paid, but she gets to show the love of Jesus in doing so. Neither of us would change a thing.
Society has conditioned people to think they need more and more stuff. So they need two jobs to buy all that stuff. 11 years ago my husband and I agreed that I would leave the corporate world to stay home with our (then) 2 kids. Even though at that point I was the one making more money, we knew it was the right step. A total leap of faith. Now I homeschool our 4 children and he has worked hard to earn a significant income for our family. We are still intensely mindful of out budget. My vehicle was totaled last month (thankfully none of us were hurt) - we decided to use the opportunity buy a 15 yr old vehicle for cash and eliminate my car payment altogether. This choice has indeed meant sacrifices for our family but we'd never change it. I will encourage our children to follow their passions, but I do hope they all choose to consider modeling their family life like ours!
We did the same thing. I stayed home for 18 years and homeschooled our daughter while my husband worked very long days to make everything possible. I was so happy when I was able to go back to work and take some of that responsibility off of him. But my “career” has and always will be our household. Women have been sold down the river by feminism.
Agree, feminism sold us down the river!
AMEN
And the beauty of a 15 year old vehicle is that it may have fewer spybots.
One of the reasons I eschewed a Buick in 2002 was that it had the "OnStar" system, plus I wasn't old enough then to drive a Buick.
I would say that corporations, via advertising, have done the conditioning and opinion influencing to go out and buy buy buy. They were, and still are, the ones who profit.
This is our family's story too. I did work part-time, at night as an ICU nurse when the kids were small so they were only in the care of my husband and myself. That got old, quickly, though and I left the work force for 15 years to raise 5 kids. My husband, an engineer, made enough money to provide a nice home, food and activities for the kids. We have never really wanted for anything and that is in large part because we made financial choice very early in our marriage which paid off. Yes, we ate beans and rice and our first home was a true starter home (no granite countertops or hardwood floors), but at the end of the day we never wanted for anything. I wouldn't change a thing (except maybe have a few more kids, believe it or not).
I currently live in the home I grew up in. Moved back home when I retired from the military.
A friend referred to it as a "starter" home.
I was insulted and offended. This was the home I grew up in. The place where I have good memories. The home my mom and dad worked so hard for...
My husband and I bought a “ starter” home right after we were married. We started having kids right away and decided that I would stay home to raise them. We had a modest home, old cars and often hand-me-down clothes but somehow we always had money for books and managed to send them to Catholic school. You have to set your priorities by your morals and things somehow work out. Regarding your “ starter” home- most young families could not afford your home. We have become a nation of materialists who don’t appreciate what we have because we’re always looking for something better. Gratitude is a gift.
Starter homes are where all of us 65+'ers "started" our lives. Because 90% of all urban housing in the US was "starter homes" in the immediate postwar years.
youre' SO LUCKY to have a home you own, these days.
I love my starter home. It beats the hell out of anything constructed now. There are all these crappy apartments going up about 2 miles away. Since I drive by every day, I see the progress. They are literally made of 2x4s and plywood. No steel. No brick. No 4x8s. The roof is held up by 2x4s and cheap plywood. That won't stand a foot of snow. The building itself might not stand an EF1 tornado. And this is 3 stories of that! Oh, and not a bit of insulation. They're being billed as "luxury" apartments. I'd pay real money to see if they are still standing in 15 years.
How rude of that ‘friend’
Dr. Laura: "Day care is where busy working parents send their kids to not be loved by anyone all day."
I would always ask women, "why did you have a child so you could dump them off in some daycare center cared for by a perfect stranger?"
While the family puppy was fine to stay home all day alone?
Oh yeah Oops, it's not nice or legal to leave kids home alone.
There were a few movies about it. (turn on canned laughter)
And to be abused; emotionally, if not physically and sexually. Quite possibly all three.
I was a teacher and what you said, "abused emotionally" by cold teachers was common especially the difficult children.
As a child I probably had ADHD symptoms and was always getting reprimanded. It hurt me, but as a teacher, it helped me understand those kids and make sure they loved to learn and come to school.
My mother was a teacher. She 'loved' kids. She was excellent at her job. She didn't love those kids as much as most parents do but then they, including my parents, sent us to be 'loved' raised by someone else and they would not have liked what we were being taught and it cost them in the long run. Yup we got college educated but there were terrible sins committed and what a cost that we all paid MONEY, $$$$$$ FOR!!
Repeated by generations.
I too was able to stay home with our three kids and I couldn’t be more grateful. Yes, we tightened the belts at times, but we wouldn’t change it for the world.
I can echo the project manager. I was never given a choice, either. My former husband made a 6 figure salary but he expected me to contribute in tangible financial ways. That, among other reasons, is why he is ‘former’.
I did the same thing. Stayed home in the 80’s and 90’s to raise our three kids, all of whom are adults, who are ”living the dream”, as they put it, though I don’t think they have a clue what that really is. After the kids were through college and on their own, I took a part time job helping start up and run an after school program at our parochial school. We had learned to live on one salary for almost 30 years, so while the job paid nothing, we were comfortable and I loved working with the kids. Then covid hit in March 2020, school closed the rest of the year. To reopen the next fall, our governor had a gazillion protocols and rules in place. Sanitary measures up the ying Yang, and masks on everyone, even the preschoolers, just to reopen. Many schools didn’t bother to reopen. School year 2020-2021 was a nightmare. I wanted no part of masking, contact tracing, and constant testing in the land of asymptomatic PCR tests. I talked until I was blue in the face to the principal about reopening without masks, social distancing and constant testing, but he went along with the guidelines. The principal is a very good man but he is a rule follower and non political. That’s the way schools in Michigan were reopening, and that’s the rules he would follow. So I ingloriously retired, and surprisingly did not miss it. For that year the school was like a prison. Parents went along with it because they wanted their kids back in school and many of them were scared by all the fear mongering. I wonder what would have happened if the principal and church had met with parents and told them they would be open without restrictions, but no one seemed to have any say in anything for that horrible two year span. Even though most would admit all of the mandates were not necessary, they seem more than willing to forget about it and get back to normal, whatever that is.
I joined a new church and found God hadn’t left me, I had dismissed him. I found new meaning in everything, and am constantly reminded we are ready for revival on all levels. Heard yesterday by our young pastor, “If it’s just me and God, we still have the majority”.
I am stil so angry at all of the adults who sacrificed and abandoned the children for their own comfort 🤬
We won’t do that. It doesn’t make economic sense for me to go get another job just so we can use it to pay for childcare.
I’m retired and my wife luckily is an insurance agent who works from home. So I guess technically, we do have two incomes, though not as much as when I was working.
I get grief here from people when I take shots at the Baby Boomer generation (despite just barely being one myself) but it's for exactly this reason. They led the way in placing their kids in day care or forcing the kids to raise themselves when returning to empty homes. They led they way in divorcing their spouse to go "find" themselves or out of some other selfish desire. They led they way in consumerism and accumulating stuff as a status symbol. They led the way in rejecting traditional morality and embracing vapid pop culture as some sort of life philosophy.
And of course not all Boomers are like this. But far too many are and they wreaked havoc on our society. Many still have not changed after decades of living like this and still put themselves first. Their kids are struggling to buy a home or just get by, yet they are on their umpteenth Mediterranean cruise, the epitome of gluttony and drunkenness. Their Facebook page is nothing but pictures of them drinking alcohol off the coast of Greece or some other self-centered activity. Pictures from their grandkids softball game? Come on, they have busy lives and no time for that.
Many of these people are going to be shocked to find themselves dumped in nursing homes, alone, and wondering why none of their family visits them.
Love this -appreciate you and your wife living your values and being an example to those around you.
Family Life "managed" day by day properly.....is not a sin.
Often a sacrifice of 100 or more things that come into view.
That's what we've done as well, went single income so I could stay at home and homeschool the kiddos, however, hubby's company downsized a little over a month ago and gave him the boot after 19 years...He still hasn't found a new job yet and we're starting to stress :(
I will be praying for you and your husband. I just heard an 80 yr old story this morning about a 10 yr old who boldly prayed for provision and then watched as God came through when no one expected it! All they needed was a hot water bottle(to help keep a tiny baby warm) and, for a doll for the little sister, who had just lost her mother in childbirth. God provided both to a woman in a tiny African village who needed His help, but lacked the faith a 10 year old girl had...Both contained in a parcel that arrived from the states that morning, the first parcel the missionary woman had received during her 4 years in that village, totally unexpected but oh so timely!
🙏🏼
I was reading your comment and had to scroll back to see who posted it! I have friends who are both PhD Nuclear Physicists. Mom became a stay-at-home mom and now teaches middle school science at the Catholic School associated with our church.
It’s funny how age gives you perspective. My husband and I are both engineers (both just retired). Because of my childhood, I decided early on to never be ‘dependent’ on anyone, so I worked full-time since my early teen years. (It paid for what my scholarship didn’t cover, and the minimal loans we both had were paid off quickly.) I was very involved with school (volunteered for everything, etc.), but if I could turn back the clock, I would 100% do things differently. Instead, I simply thank God for how my life turned out and will support my daughter in whatever her decisions are about family/career.
Kudos to you and your wife! I hope your children understand how fortunate they are. :)
Thank you! As to gratitude one kid gets it and the other is slowly coming around. God is using him to teach me patience.
It's funny regarding the school as it's not associated with our church but the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (a conservative, biblical denomination). We've grown really fond of the LCMS as these people walk the walk. They are very upfront that they are looking for people to serve rather than make a career, and the pay reflects that. But they give it right back to the community as tuition is around half that of other, local Christian schools (at this school at least, cannot speak for other LCMS schools.).
Both my boys went there after it became clear we could no longer keep them in public schools. The low tuition made that possible, so we are thrilled to be able to help other families make the same choice.
People don't want to sacrifice and have one car or drive an old van. It's what I did. I was a teacher on and off while raising 3 kids. I went back to work when they were of age and they came with me.
Absolutely beautiful….Your way of life is so much more important and fulfilling.
Your point about living frugally is on point, it becomes a habit.
let's not forget that INFLATION and these oh so common economic downturns are ALSO ENGINEERED by the "elites" to keep us struggling - and fighting with each other for crumbs, all while blaming Socialists and Marxists - while the Elites laugh at our ignorance.
You're lucky you live in a society with capitalism or you wouldn't have enough time (and may not have lived long enough) to have the luxury of being a keyboard scold.
Amen!
🥰
Your comments are wonderful! We have lived on one income since my husband's first teaching job out of grad school. One can hardly count my part-time pittance income doing temp services until our son was born. We also homeschooled all the way through. We both just began taking social security after my numbers crunching husband figured out the best time to start it. What's a complete blown away surprise to us is how God is using the government to bless us for what we are convinced were the best decisions for our family. We saved for retirement believing social security would provide basically nothing. Our surprise is now we have more money to give away because we don't have to take so much out of our retirement funds!
One usually expects Social Security to cover 40% of pre-retirement income, but in our cases the spousal benefit adds half of that again, making it 60%, but still based on the same pre-retirement single income. A surprise blessing for those who choose family in this way!
The generation that thought you had to work outside the home to be a successful person (as a woman)is also the generation that didn’t want to wait for anything. Whatever their parents had, they thought they deserved in the beginning of their life as opposed to gradually being able to afford the big house , all the new appliances, all the new furniture, the big expensive SUV, etc.
100%. Had them as renters. 30's, never paid rent on time, told everybody it was "their" house, drove 70+$ vehicles. Facade-all of it a facade.
The Book of Ecclesiastes circa 2024.
I’ve been a stay at home homeschool Mom since my oldest was born in 2004. It’s been the most fulfilling career I could ever hope to have. That said, i’ve had an entrepreneurial bent and have excerised that gift for the benefit of my family NEVER at its expense. Now that my youngest is 16 I am working more. However I’m my own boss and the kids are still my primary responsibility. Now that I have more time to work for an income we figured out that if I make X for the next decade and we follow our investment plan, we’ll be able to both retire early as planned.
You are a warrior.
It's possible to strike the right balance. Job well done, Laura!
We're trying to do the same. You got it right given your circumstances and family goals.
Pulling women into the workplace instantly created more taxpayers. Even the government couldn’t figure out how to tax stay at home moms who do 15 jobs for no income. Get them to work outside the home- now you pay taxes.
2 incomes; more taxes; more stress and breakdown; more govt help required; no father needed, the State and the mother can raise the child; modern global culture is sick from the root to the leaves and everywhere between. More of it is the solution to every problem. Mental health crisis indeed
oh bullshit. CAPITALISM making our lives more expensive in the 80s is how women had to go to work in order for familiies to survive. you are confusing the chicken and the egg.
PLENTY OF WOMEN, given ample respect by their male partners for what they do and ENOUGH INCOME from one to support a whole family, would choose to stay home, raise their children and probably even homeschool to keep them out of the propaganda factories.
Just like plenty of young pregnant Single women would choose to KEEP THEIR BABIES< given enough $$$ support, rather than abort.
LETS make an attempt to revisit the REAL WORLD OF WOMEN once in awhile, just for the heck of it.
not to mention the REAL WORLD of difficult decisions under harsh conditions of capitalism which dont value women, children or families.
You're taking it personal.
What if that were a trick comment to test your emotional intelligence.
How do you think you would've scored?
I see you’d rather have everyone equally poor and destitute. You don’t have to have the best of everything in order to make it work.
Riley is one of very few brave women in sports. I really think if every time a man shows up to compete in something or another pretending to be a woman, every real woman should refuse to compete with him. That might end things fairly quickly if these frauds never had anyone to compete against. This needs to be for every single sport to be effective.
I agree. Unfortunately, Riley didn’t stand up until after it was done. I appreciate that she is now in the fight. It does a disservice to women to all stand by and clap and pretend this is okay and hope someone else stands up and fights for you. Riley, and these other women could’ve moved the needle if they would’ve just stood up when it was happening like you said. Stand NOW! Later is too late.
Deb Kelly Jay in the UK is wonderful... fighting for women ❣️
Pushed into compliance. We need to stand up and take back our spaces from these men who want to pretend they are women.
Damn straight. Now is the time to speak out. You'd be surprised of how many people agree but are paralyzed by social tyranny.
What they are trying to "steal" is our will. They want us to believe there is nothing we can do about it.
They want our will replaced with apathy; that is exactly how the few end up with dominion over the many.
We are currently at indifference. Indifference at critical mass camoflauges the subtle, but quick, feathering into apathy...to the point it is undetected by the masses
It was the ‘indifference’ that led to the ‘apathy’ that led us to where we are today. (In society and culture.)
Men like this and women like Stormy Daniels used to be scorned by society. I am not saying to be cruel to them, but why is our culture embracing and celebrating such confused and immoral people?
IMO: It is demonic INDOCTRINATION to create more of these types by showing children that it is ok, it is normal.
I’ve been saying the end game is going after ‘the age of consent’… if gender is just a construct- so is age- and a group very much wants access to children… we have been made aware powerful people want access to kids since the Epstein story broke…
They are indoctrinating kids at the kindergarten level with books like ‘Julian wants to be a mermaid’… look that crap up… where they’re telling young boys it’s okay and good to aspire to be drag queens and go to the Coney Island drag parade
Where we used to encourage young boys to be brave … be firefighters and policemen and doctors and teachers and ROLE MODELS…
This is where things have gotten… aspire to be a boy dressed as a girl.
Those books are being funneled into every blue state elementary school
George and Alex Soros want to legalize sex work- likely because it’s a trillion dollar industry… but these are the forces driving the decline of our kids and morality.
It’s dark. The whole thing. I pray about it every day.
GOOD--PRAYER is our most POWERFUL tool - first, we have to REPENT and SEEK OUR HEAVENLY FATHER'S WILL for our lives...then PRAY without CEASING!

Hollywood started the "acceptance cycle" - look how many "major hit movies" involved DESPICABLE PEOPLE--the "Godfather" series for example, "Serpico", "Blow" - I could go on and on and on!! I now think of the Hollywood "crowd" as CLOWNS and MINSTRELS---period!!
True, but I did like the Godfather movies.
its TRANS HUMANISM IN ACTION. see YUVAL HARARI and Alex SOros.

Because the entire culture has become confused and immoral.
I don't think that any President will be able to change that. The evil agenda is rapidly gaining more and more momentum.
That is why so many said that gay marriage would be a slippery slope.
BINGO!!!

Well said, Ryan.
Well said 👏👏 now is the time before too late. Refuse to go along with this nonsense. Do not be controlled by this evil.
Ryan, Yes. If there is an enemy, surely it is Apathy.
yup. first silence....then indifference....then apathy
.

Then Manacles.
Things have to get worse. That's the worst part about the whole shit show.
But then again it is hard to separate people from their 3 meals and 4 manacles. But remember it doesn't take a majority of the public to turn the tide.
Damn straight, apathy-easier to control.
"It’s the globalist’s favorite trick: make them vote again."
INCORRECT.
The globalist's favorite trick is to "BE IN CHARGE OF COUNTING THE VOTES"
💯
Not a real woman, though. Do you know any women that dress like they do when they are indoctrinating children at a publicly-funded library?
They dress up as garish caricatures of what they think a woman is. My husband's theory is that they actually hate women.
Agree
When you see how many of them use access to women’s private spaces like locker rooms and bathrooms to harass and abuse women, how many are asking to be transferred to women’s prisons then end up sexually assaulting the other prisoners, it seems pretty clear 😕
Well ER, yep and nope..... Went out to shoot pool last night after a nice meal with my family. In the back of the pool hall was a small venue full of a bunch of them having a show. Several of them looked like Ursula from the Little Mermaid but my wife judged that none of them were women. Kinda like an exaggerated Liza Minnelli on steroids if you know what I mean.
Later Jay
Yeah the Circus is really not hiring folks like that any more,
to sit on Huge chairs in Big top tents on the Midway of the fair grounds.
Most circus freaks are on welfare. Flippo the seal boy lives in a trailer in Fla.
Stop watching anything to do with of this kind of lie and tell your family and friends you will not waste your time on this kind of deception.
The judges should have done that..
Yeah, but a lot of women are just plain stupid.
A lot of women (not all!) are also sheep. Who did you hear screaming the loudest during the scamdemic? Who got pissed off when someone walked the wrong way down an aisle? Who got furious when I wasn't wearing a filthy face diaper? Every time it was a woman. The term "Karen" exists for a reason, although my aunt by the same name is not and does not appreciate the use of her name by annoying, self righteous, holier than thou women.
Not only women. I had an older man ask me loudly if I’d always been a brat or was it a recent development - as I was arguing with the “doorman” and refusing to wear a mask at the entrance to Costco. I told him I’d always been this way. 😊
Yes! An older man yelled at me at the retirement community where my mom resided because I wasn’t wearing a mask outdoors 😷
The nature of the female is to bring things into the world not change the world. To support and give life and to bring spirit into the world. Imagine what life would be like without women? Soulless.
I am woman I have to agree with Four Winds. Our sympathetic side is what gets us into trouble every time. I thank my father for making me strong and for teaching me to question things and not apologize for it.
Absolutely same here.
Excellent points.
Yep! I was daily accosted by a long time friend I'd met when my oldest three daughters were in elementary school. She too, had four daughters, my last came along after her daughters were no longer in elementary school. When covid hit she posted daily on social media, "we all must do our part." Only, that meant following all of the mindless rules, and there were those jabs you had to take to keep her alive, "I'm a cancer survivor, you are protecting me by getting the vaccine!" It got worse as time passed. She couldn't handle my true lack of fear and insistence that therapeutics worked. "I deleted your comment about therapeutics, they don't work and the hospital is full of all ages of people dying because they refused to get it knowing full well it saves lives!" She got really irritated and sent me photos of two who were in the hospital dying, a 9 month old and a 56 year old. There is no doubt those photos were violations but she sent them anyway to get her point across. My husband and I looked at the photos of the baby, and both knew that was a very ill child. Not covid, but kidney disease... We'd seen that before when our friend's baby was born with one barely functioning kidney. The 56 yr old woman, a heavy set diabetic she did not know we knew... I was furious with her for sending both groups of photos and stopped all communication with her after that. But she continued to post daily reminders to "get vaccinated to protect grandparents!" She took her 5 and 7 yr old grandchildren to get their own covid vaccines as soon as they were allowed. It is difficult to even imagine that kind of fear porn...
This crap still makes me very angry 😡
ABSOLUTELY!
Seriously brainwashed. Her poor kids.
One of her four daughters reached out to tell me she was in full agreement with me... She texted that her mother refused to visit their new baby... but finally had to give in and stop demanding that the parents be vaccinated before she would arrive. LOL! Another daughter told me she couldn't wait for the jabs to be available for under 5 so that her 8 month old twins could get it!
Oddly, the only people who gave me a hard time about not masking were three older white men
I’m with your aunt, Four Winds! I hate the term!
I know some in sports were told they would lose their scholarships if they objected...the insanity infiltrates upper echelons of these organizations. IMO it's we the people that need to organize to have our voices heard.
Then they should ALL object. Standing together would make a difference.
"Standing together would make a difference."
That comment rings true so far beyond a "beauty pageant". I'd say stopping WWIII should be a far more important cause to "stand together" in opposition.
The US federal government is the most evil criminal enterprise IN HISTORY. And it's going to be the end of everything if we don't STAND UP TO IT.
Ya know, I started paying attention to how our .gov operated/operates about 20 years ago. Every year since, my eyes have opened wider and wider. And the atrocities keep rolling out like the floats at a Pride Parade. It's like when I found out Rock Hudson was gay.
10 years ago my mother, in her 80's, said she'd never been more frightened of her government. I know.
An early skeptic you are, Austin. Good for you.
As a man rapidly approaching the close of my 60’s, I remember writing my first “letter to the editor” around the time I was 15. And, it was published.
I’ve watched aghast all these intervening decades as the political climate and the actions of our “leaders” steadily and relentlessly marched the road to tyranny. And, like many, I lost loved ones and friends over the *covid* debacle as I tried in vain to warn them against taking the experimental jabs. Which took me about 3 weeks to realize there were sinister motives behind.
As pessimistic as my experience should have made me, I still have hope that we can pull civilization out of this death spiral, the cause of which is clearly apathy and complacency. I must for the sake of my grandchildren. No, everyone’s grandchildren.
I, quite unfortunately, think we’re well past the time when these tyrants can be defeated in the voting booth. While we outnumber them by orders of magnitude, they by their nature will and do not hesitate to use violence against their own countrymen in pursuit of their nefarious domination schemes.
We must resign ourselves that we cannot save the good by negotiating with the evil.
The path of resistance is always fraught with danger and peril. And while the outcome is not assured, the outcome of continued complacency and meekness in the face of evil most assuredly is - lives of hellish desperation for future generations. We are maybe a little past the crossroads of history, but “there’s always time to change the road you’re on.”.
“The future’s uncertain and the end is always near.” Jim Morrison

Everything is rigged against us but besides that, living moral lives is key and it has gone out the window.
Everything they do is geared towards destroying the family. I was watching some show on neflix and said to my husband... "Can you see the message they are sending?" It's all climate change and cheating and self serving BS.
Bug's Life LOL...

Hear, hear
what's the saying?...stand together or hang separately...
Yah, like unmasking. Or not "social" distancing.
Oh the Almighty Scholarships!! Please NO! DON'T TAKE MY SCHOLARSHIP AWAY!!
Yes, they would have lost scholarships. Instead, they've lost so much more. I'm old enough to remember when most people knew that your integrity, honor and principles weren't for sale. These young ladies have lost ALL for a few thousand dollars in tuition.
Might as well be a prostitute...as least hookers know it is just business.
"I'm old enough to remember when most people knew that your integrity, honor and principles weren't for sale".
Ask young people today what integrity, honor or principles mean. Infact, even ask what 'character' means! I am sure they won't know...
Exactly. What good is a scholarship if you have no ability to stand for your convictions, or for right and wrong. What kind of employee will you be once you enter the workforce doors that the scholarship opened?
The kind that will comply with unethical medical mandates? (just spit-balling, here.) TPTB _want_ compliant and complacent worker-bees. The earlier they can 'break' the high-achievers, the better.
The school would lose women's sports and funding for it if all women declined to participate. No teams...
Which then impacts male-dominant, aka revenue, sports teams through non-compliance with Title IX. That would get a reaction!
Complicit with the evil in front of their eyes.
I bet some of them don't even realize there is evil before them.
Even sadder.
If you watch Matt Walsh’s film “ What is A Woman?” he interviews several young, beautiful women who blankly stare at him when he asks them that question. They clearly cannot and WILL NOT answer because…well, you know, the men who think they are women would be betrayed! Or whatever the foolishness du jour demands…ugh
Could it be women are socialized to be nice? Nice is not biblical but is often confused with being kind and good (two of the fruit of the Spirit).
So, was he sure they were really women? 🤔😶
You got that right-virture signal WAY more. Poor, stupid women.
the biological women on that stage smiling at the "abomination" that won are all there for attention. they are women who crave attention or they wouldn't be there.
they got the attention they wanted.
so, it's all good with them?
Pageants used to be a fun way for beautiful young things to get ahead. Those women used to be natural too..little by little, plastic surgery and cosmetic injections created pageants of fake this and fake that became the norm and now this: a fake woman!
All of it is so sad.
Sad, but predictable, even 30 years ago.
Because we live in a fascist state, where if they speak up, they will be demonized, economically destroyed and maybe even get death threats or imprisonment.
Please please make that: A lot of people are just plain stupid!!
Yes why limit that to women?? Lots of men are stupid too.
Isn’t it Miss Maryland & Miss USA? I thought besides being a woman, you couldn’t be married to compete. Special rules for the protected species?
Despite any pretense to the contrary, they are not, by any truthful definition of the word, married.
I thought they had to be unmarried also.
Guess they are pandering to the alphabet mafia.
The rule was changed in August of 2022 and was effective for the 2023 competition, allowing married women and mothers to compete.
I thought it was supposed to be only unmarried women so their year of extensive travel wouldn’t conflict with family life. My, how times have changed, and not for the better.
Was wondering that also.
I mean sometimes it's just easier to punch someone...there's some advantages of being male...just sayin'
Then we make up and move on instead of the long drawn out drama-rama.
Women have a lot they're better at but this malicious conniving gossip business ain't one.
I always preferred to work with men.
Mean girls in high school grow up to be mean girls in the workplace.
My mother taught me that at a very young age. I found out when I started working that she was right. "I don't really like women," she told me. In her era, I have to admit, they were constantly belittled in advertising. My mother wouldn't have swooned, for example, over the existence of a new laundry soap.
I would actually swoon over a new washing machine.
You know, one that actually cleaned clothes properly.
Not the crap ones out now that never use enough water and have a locking lid.
Jeffrey Tucker from the Browstone Institute just did a video commentary on Laundry and that very subject. Very interesting. Apparently laundry went downhill when they eliminated phosphates because that’s what removed the soap. He posits that it’s the corporate users that create the environmental issues and not an individual’s laundry. But you can use TSP (the real kind- that painters use) from a big box store to add it back into your laundry to remedy that.
Truth!
omg I know!!! I saw this girl I know on instagram who constantly posts about how men put down women and this week she posted "taking my power back" - and she's in full makeup, showing off so much of her body it's basically nudity. How is that taking back your power? Someone explain that to me?
When did women start thinking it was OK to show a ton of cleavage?
Especially in the workplace. They will be the first ones to file a complaint if a man looks at their boobs.
...and don't even get me started on bare arms while men have to wear suits.
Like a 5 yr old-please
Working under female principals in the public school system was like working for your neurotic mother.
I had a nice mother.
It was probably like working for a neurotic mother-in-law.
lol, I get it, been there, different career, but same/same.
Me too. I've felt this way since my very first job at 17. The men I worked for were great, easy going, always willing to listen to other opinions, and so on. The female bosses I had were almost all monsters on power trips.
My husband did that in Army Basic Training back in the Vietnam era. End of conflict. The son of a friend made a joking, mild 'yo mama' comment in Basic last year and got reported and counseled. Then he was set up by the guy he said it to, by agreeing with him that their female Drill Sergeant (yes, they do that idiotic thing, mixing sexes) was 'hot.' He got kicked out of the Army for sexual harassment. So, yes, men of yore. Now? Maybe not so much.
That's just ridiculous.
More men of yore imo
Sadly, this is true.
true statement. I am disappointed in so many of them. The outright apathy and laziness in some in terms of knowing what the real issues are. And they don't want to understand finance and economics...don't want to face the reality of the policies they vote for and the damage they are doing to our lives. It's much more fun for them to be cool and vote for what's popular.
White liberal women are the worst!
Couldn't agree more...always the most sniping, always the meanest. And talk about not inclusive. Their little groups exclude everyone they don't like. I learned a long time ago I didn't want to be part of these women when I noticed they sit around saying the most racist, rudest things. They pretend to be for these causes, but when you watch them talk in groups you see how they REALLY feel about people.
Agree.
And they’re incredibly self righteous too 🙄😡
And there is no beauty in any of them because most beauty comes from within.
AWFULs.
Sad but true, Kathleen. I say that as a woman, too. It has gotten so bad that when I hear about something really moronic being decided, said or done, I say to myself "I'll bet that person is a woman" and I'm almost always right. I always choke when I hear someone say how great it would be if women ran the world....well, an awful lot of women are in positions of great and damaging power and look how things are. There are some great and admirable women out there, but it sure seems like the stupidest ones aspire to positions of power and influence.
Well to be fair if you look at the men in power they’re not necessarily the brightest or most ethical either 😕
And usually highly educated but with no common sense to know how wrong they are
Yes.
Instead, please make that, “A lot of people are just plain stupid!!”
No. I stand by my comment.
As are a lot of men 😉
Yes, but I can criticize women because I am one...without being called a misogynist.
True 😁
Trans is the new PC blackface.
And wearing a mask while protesting/destroying property is the same as wearing a KKK hood.
They're hella good for lootathons though!
Isn’t it amazing how they can manage to sniff out every single J6er, no matter where they were standing, but somehow those looters escape detection every time? 🤔
YESS
At the risk of being branded a heretic, "Miss" Maryland looked damn good. An A for effort if nothing else. I'd have no idea if I bumped into him on the street, unlike most of these people.
But you are exactly right, as queer as a three dollar bill as we used to say. The fact that people play along with this (out of delusion or fear) is pretty messed up. We live in a post-truth society and it won't end well.
In the mid-90s, I went to drag shows in Columbus because two of my best friends we a gay male couple. My jaw hit the floor when I saw the performers - they looked and dressed better than 90% of the women I saw every day and I could not tell at all that they were guys. They were not over-done, tacky, or obnoxious. They looked like women attending a formal event. There was no nudity and no sexual motions or innuendos. Now, most of these guys look like they ran face first into one of those color festivals where everyone throws colored "talc" (I'm not sure what it really is) all over each other. They are garish, gaudy, and gross.
The man who won "miss" Maryland looks more like the old time performers, but it's still a dude in a dress. The performers I saw knew they were men, and at the end of the night, they went home as men. This guy knows he is a dude, too.
Bottom line - men don't belong in women's sports, pageants, or anything else. If they want to play dress up with other adults outside of that, it's not our problem. It IS a problem when they try to sell their b.s. to others, like kids or a potential partner without being honest. Not OK.
I think this is exactly the problem: it is indoctrination. it ALL is. The minute you tell children this and that is normal and fine, many of them, just by sheer *power of persuasion*, or wanting to seem cool, will join the ranks of the alphabet army.
After watching the movie “Kinky Boots”, which I loved! (😨😫😱) and of course, The Bird Cage with Robin Williams, oh, and let’s not forget Midnight in The Garden of Good & Evil, I used to think the Drag Queen thing was merely camp and restricted to certain cities and populations…but when the DQ Story Hours started to appear, I thought, “Pandora’s Box has been opened…” But now it’s more like Satan’s Gates of Hell have been opened and the demons are pouring out onto Earth. We need to fight back with prayer while wearing our Spiritual Armor! ⚔️🛡️⚔️🛡️⚔️🛡️
And knowing what I know now about people like Kevin Spacey and John Cusack, and all the other “actors” in Hollyweird…it’s obvious we’ve all been lulled to sleep by their spells and programming…and those “actors” are not worthy of the adulation they’ve received all these years. When I see the name of The Mook in Chief (De Niro) I want to spit. (Preferably Beechnut…a la Hank Williams’ song “A Country Boy Can Survive”)
Awesome song and very intune with today. My peeps! Very Thankfull.
Here it is
https://youtu.be/3cQNkIrg-Tk?si=Mrmi2AIt6jdJMEiS
Brings to mind the song “Lola” by the Kinks, being surprised your crush is a tranny.
Don't buy into it or accept these degenerate behaviors.
Lol, I'm not buying into it as I thought my comment made clear. Just admitting a truth, no one can say he looks ugly unlike 99% of these specimens.
I agree, Jeff. I really can't tell from the picture that he is a male. That stuns me. And frightens me just a bit.
I notice the trans (read: fake) women that do the best job of presenting as female tend to be asian - it has to do with body type and smaller features, I think.
They’re called “ladyboys.”
In the Phillippines, they're called fenooks. It's really hard to tell, honest.
Deep Flakes*
It is a mask you idiot.
You are fooled by Hollywood make up. 🙄
Get bent.
You are the epitome of of a foolish, stupid person. Your first inclination is to call people names and make claims that you have no way of knowing if they are true.
I'll make my own unfounded claim, you are a closet homosexual and the fact that the tranny actually looks good scares you. So you lash out in angry emotion as you are incapable of conducting a intelligent, rational dialog.
And an emancipated man's gay body!
Surely you mean emaciated
Jeff, I disagree, I think he looks UGLY! He also looks plastic and faked….. anyone who is ever in any contest, which is faked in any way should remove themselves and explain why. Cheating is immoral, cheating is evil & spiritually contagious..
The women used to be naturally beautiful young things..now they are all fake from their foreheads to their bottoms...cosmetic injections and plastic surgery, all to fit a certain impossible 'mold' or standard of beauty.
100%, a regular homegrown beautiful girl has no chance.
Botox commercials for mid 30 yr old women and men. Gay as shit.
We shouldn’t be having “beauty “ pageants anymore regardless!!!!! Do men have “manly” pageants???? These pageants set real women and teenagers up for failure to reach unrealistic standards. 😡
Funny that we are discussing beauty pageants today. On my Instagram feed this came up: (from St. John Chrysostom of Constantinople, 407 AD)
"Don't talk to me of female beauty, rather virtues of her soul.
A beautiful woman who has not decorated herself with virtue is like a painted coffin".
Yes men have pageants same as women. Body builders.
Which are equally toxic and disgusting and also promote unhealthy habits and eating disorders.
and the WWW (the men's part of it)
The men have all the "manly" sports, football, basketball, golf, tennis, etc. and they do not allow trans-women into those sports. It's only trans-men who are allowed into all the "girly" things. Most women have not thought wearing men's attire was a worthwhile thing to pursue, like all of these men now wanting to be women. For some reason it seems lots of men want to get back into their mother's womb one way or another.
I know what you are saying. There are some trans "women" in sports who think long hair and nail polish are all that's needed. That's why I find this particular example VERY troubling. He did do a lot of work and wears a dress well. The hair is beautiful, make up perfectly applied. He and the activists will then say, "she looks better than biological women, you can no longer complain." It's all just so evil and twisted.
How much of that is photoshop though? We’re not seeing this person IRL so it’s hard to tell what the reality is.
we are emerging into a post propaganda society and it could end very well indeed
TOXIC EMPATHY- It’s a result of what women have been/girls are being taught for years in schools. They think they’re being kind to allow these men into women spaces. Allie Beth Stuckey talks about toxic empathy being a manipulation tool and she has a book coming out about it https://www.amazon.com/Toxic-Empathy-Progressives-Christian-Compassion-ebook/dp/B0D12HS2DV
The left has rewired young women's maternal instinct away from their own children toward "marginalized groups". It serves two purposes at once, 1) it provides women an outlet from their mothering instinct thus aiding depopulation and 2) it provides political support to the left's foot soldiers.
One has to admire the audacity of it as it took seventy years of concerted effort to undo what God himself had put in place, reinforced by thousands of years of tradition. There's never been anything like it, and like every other social upheaval where people think they know better than God, it's resulting in a disaster.
Men also have a role in this. Real women need real men, not limp dicks. So many modern men lack any real masculinity and have, in effect, neutered themselves. Such men encroach on the space needed for women to be women. Can we be surprised that women, confronted with a scarcity of (real) men, feel pressure to take on both the feminine and masculine roles? But then it comes full circle ... real men need to be completed by real women, but they too have become a rare prize. So, we get fake men pretending to be women, and exasperated women trying to fulfill the both the feminine and masculine roles.
BOOM. you nailed it.
they've tried to make every boy into the "boy in the bubble".
let boys be boys imo.
Great comment.
BINGO
Thank you ChrisB! Took the words out of my mouth! WHY are all women not rejecting this INSANITY? He's a cross dresser, and the Marine is gay...change my mind!
I hated “Don’t ask, don’t tell” but it was SO much better than this! 😖
One woman walking off the stage in protest would have been so brave but you’re right, they just went along with the emperor’s new clothes like the sycophants these beautiful women are. No wonder they get the reputation for being vacuous.
They may have made it to this level of the pageant because of their acceptance and beliefs that men can be women too …
I went to a regional competition last year (my son was dating a contestant - they broke up soon after) and the women are completely programmed and "groomed" to accept the trans agenda. One contestant even made it part of her answer in the interview portion of the competition. She complimented the organization for advocating for transwomen. Blech.
Gag
Question: who exactly spilled the beans about she being a he? And when?
The he/she persons of the world want to be seen as women, so. . . Would it have BEEN him? Or another contestant? Or pageant officials? And if so, how would they have known?
Usually the voice gives it away. Women who try to become men take testosterone and I suppose that is what deepens their voices. But there is no way to fix the voice when men want to be women. It's virtually always still an obviously male voice.
LIKE
I don’t ever want to see an interview with these women complaining about women’s rights!!!
MoM... considering these women were born after the year 2000, I'm not at all sure what they've been indoctrinated with😏
Those women were wearing costumes in much the same way that the man was. The women who participate in beauty pageants are really not the brightest lights in the house.
There is that They are participating. I can’t imagine the thinking that goes on to even be a part of this.
It's their choice and voluntary. As you guys cheer the destruction of the beauty pagents, they'll just come for other aspects of our society.
I know a few young women who have participated in the beauty pageant circuit and they are very high-achieving individuals. It really attracts a wide array of people. I don't judge them though I wouldn't encourage it for my own daughters. I would, however, draw the line at competing with a man in the competition. Just withdraw.
I cheer on the destruction of everything rotten
Sure, but some aspects of our society are rotten, and I'm not going to fight against those aspects being destroyed. In my view, if beauty pageants get taken down, that's a silver lining.
Is it just me, or are these transparent dresses something relatively new?
It’s been a very long time since I paid attention.
Actually, a good deal of them are quite accomplished.
With all due respect, this problem isn’t going to go away until those women directly involved decide to stop it.
Just imagine the statement that would have been made had those first women who found themselves on the UPenn starting blocks with Will (aka: Lia) Thomas simply stood there when the gun went off and turned their backs while Will swam his “championship” 500 meters.
Not until women have the courage of their convictions and the willingness to endure the social media attacks generated by haters on the Left will they once again enjoy the recognition and opportunities that should accrue to those who spend years of dedication and hard work devoted to achieving their very best.
If you will, consider all the little girls who once wanted to follow their dreams, but now say, “Why bother?” Isn’t it time to stop this nonsense, ladies? Just say “NO"...we will support you!
Good point. Although for the college ladies, I've heard they are threatened with termination if they complain about the transpeople.
But the beauty contest people... why on earth would they go along with this?
crossroads time for all of us. a choice between personal integrity and going to 'college'? you get what you choose
If their only skill is beauty then doing that might take away their livelihood. That's my take.
Also, women's natural penchant to "go along to get along" is hard to overcome.
go along to get along is heavily conditioned. our natural penchant is to be creative, active, healers, nurturers, ferocious in protection of our offspring whether art or child or environment
Yes. This can't be overstated. Women, in general, avoid conflict. We just don't like it.
Actually, I have grown to love the Salt and the Light in me. :)
heck yah!

I bet the active duty are also being threatened if they complain about the alphabet mafia.
Maybe for the same reasons?
Money.
Because most real women are too kind to mention the elephant in the room. Men want to win just for the sake of winning. Women compete for more complicated reasons. How can you put winning as a first priority and still support and encourage your fellow contestants that aren’t being scored as well as you are?
As soon as he entered the contest he won. I’m guessing his celebrity status as a women, being held hostage in a man’s body but bravely escaping to bloom into a “true” woman was what swayed the judges into his court.
What I'm wondering is if the real women in these competitions are smiling and seemingly open to the male who is beating them, underneath are they even a little bit angry???
Isn’t that the real story?
How do the 99 percent feel about the cheating 1 percent?

Most women tend to be empathetic and the trans activists have weaponized it against them. Still. Time to resist, ladies, because this won't stop until you say it does.
Exactly!
What did everyone expect? Baltimore, Maryland is the home of John Waters and “Divine”... sort of a Homecoming for imposters.
Alina and Zeynep (if that is their real names) are well known to those of us that have followed the inner workings of the Covid narrative. They are both of a type we know all too well, members of the establishment that broach seemingly taboo topics but never really stray too far from orthodoxy.
They are the epitome of controlled opposition in my opinion, allowed to throw us mouth-breathers a bone every now and then. Their role is to manage disclosures in the Watergate-famous "modified limited hang-out" manner. When the existing narrative becomes unmanageable, they are used to steer it in a more manageable direction. They are allowed to make concessions, but only those approved for the new narrative.
The good news is that this shows that the old narrative has lost credibility and those running the show know they are in danger of losing the upper hand. But the fact it's from these two, and in the New York Times to boot, should make clear exactly what's going on. It's a tactical retreat, not an admission of guilt.
The reason they care about (and spend billions of $ on) narrative control and censorship is the same as the reason they hold "snap" elections. They know if the resistance and voice against their policies grows to the tipping point, they can no longer control it and it will take them out.
They've been pretty good about timing this "market" in the past, but I think they're a bit behind on this one. Too much ruling class elite echo chamber has done them in. They believed their own nonsense.
Well over half this country had concluded everything in that article 2+ years ago. Still, interesting that if they are putting this out now, it means their base - the branch covidians themselves - are starting to see cracks and ask questions. Now we can slow walk them to the real conclusion: it wasn't an accident, it wasn't just China, etc.
I guess my like button has died from covid.

Mine died weeks ago, I hear ya
I hope so. And I hope they begin to realize how deadly and damaging those genetic injections are. Still seems far away.
Thanks. In fact, I figure the fact that they "admitted" the China lab leak is pretty clear proof that the origin was elsewhere, likely the Ukranian biolabs (which don't exist -- err, they exist ha ha but only as defense -- LOOK OVER THERE! OMG IT'S PUTIN IN A LAB COAT WITH TEST TUBES!!) !or possibly even Ft Detrick, from where they ostensibly moved the research for "legal" reasons... Cos they're so law-abiding.
And it was an “ accident”, a leak, an uncontrolled release, a mistake, and garountee you that’s gonna be the tell. Because when the world finally finds out it was intentionally done, and obeyme and nanzi’s prints are all over it, watch out!
Alan Devincentis… (and Andrew the Great) … responding yesterday to your comments, part of my response reflects the extreme intentional culture change of todays C&C…
Are we not experiencing the actual definition of democide: “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:”
(a) Killing members of the group; (hidden, censored by media… Covid jab died suddenly deaths and injuries)
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (truth movement and Christians)
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; ( should be obvious, gender, family destruction, trans LBGTQ++++, the list of American cultural values and weaponized lawfare actualities are so obvious)
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; ABORTION AGENDA
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group… Trans agenda etc
Yes…. Intentionally done Nazi Communist Marxist regime change prints all over it
Yup... exactly what is happening
What the heck are you talking about?
Msm parallels BP parallels Congress and the WH, all coordinated for optimal effect. When any of those players tell us, “We found the truth, the cure, and the solution!” count on it being another self-serving lie, evil’s only game. Can anything less than calling on Jesus Christ and defunding the fed restore our liberties and democratic republic?

Spread the word!
Hopefully, this time, the real nazis working in our government have gone too far. In the past, the government always took a little more money or a little more of our freedom, slowly, so that most people didn't notice. But with these shots, people like Alina were advocating killing parents, children, friends. Hopefully, and that is a big hopefully, people will notice.
In past operations, Fauci denied bactrim to marginalize gays back in the 1980s and allowed thousands to die or experimented on orphaned black kids with AIDS or tortured beagles locked away in lab, all groups on the fringes of society. Hopefully, they people behind this movement to kill, maim, and control have overreached, because even useful idiots like Alina have family and friends she advocated to kill for her 30 pieces of silver.

Nothing wrong with hoping as do I. But I don't have much confidence in that outcome.
Zeynep instantly brought to mind Zaphod Beeblebrox. tip of the hat to you again Doug Adams
Zeynep is also the "social media influencer" at the heart of the Cochran study that said masks don't work. So, whatever this one says, I'm a bit suspicious.
Perhaps just like Zaphod Beebleblox, Zeynep's role is 'not to wield power but to attract attention away from it.'
I will say Limited Hangout until I see some of the villians in jail.
It definately was a confusing scary time where we didn’t have good information, but that was just our perception. Actually there was piles and piles of information. There was so much information that THEY had to shut down the flow of it any way possible. We ,the herd, were kept confused and scared and told that everyone was just as in the dark as we were.
That was a lie.
A massive effort was made to keep the public in the dark.
What’s wrong with tranparency?
Why does every question only get answered after a FOIA submittal and a 2 year wait? Because they don’t want to go to jail. When you do illegal stuff you should pay the consequences.
All the theater is a stall to allow enough time for us to get bored and move on to some other shiny chicken.
(Deep down I think these are exciting times where finally the truth may set us free but patience is called for.)
All the facts about covid that have been proven right with time were available in alternative media within a month or two tops of March 2020. All the facts since proven true about the vaccine were available within a month or two of the Dec 2020 rollout (and suspected even before the rollout, with some knowledgeable commentary available prior to rollout).
The facts were not hard to come by if one was willing to look.
I was suspicious in January, more so as I was reading and researching like crazy all through February, and by March I knew without a doubt that I wasn't afraid of covid and I would never get near any sort of "vaccine." It didn't take all that much effort to be informed in a rational way!
The facts were definitely there but they were obfuscated by hysteria.
Absolutely. The hysteria kept A LOT of people from being willing to look. Even now, as Jeff highlighted, many of the hysterics that make up the NYT readership still aren't willing to look, even when prompted by the limited hangout articles.
Yes! Once you get unhooked from the elite Democrat party media, the truth is there hiding in plain sight. I went looking for an article from March 2020 in the New Yorker magazine about the lab leak theory and the furin cleave markings. Can’t locate it, but I recall distinctly reading it very early on.
Yes....I read all that stuff very early on too...it had to have been February. The furin cleavage site info and Kristian Anderson's (and some others) comments on how the covid genome released by the Chinese could not have happened naturally all quickly got censored by the internet censors and disappeared for several years as I could not find it again. I had bookmarked some things that would no longer connect.
Yes, that’s why the smart tech-savvy types tell you to archive this stuff. Amazing how often stories just disappear…
Trying to wrap my head around the NYT commentor saying Tufekci’s “criticism . . . hyperbolizes the truth,” as if it’s better to whitewash the truth. Nope. Gently chiding a mass murderer is anarcho-terrorism.
Sooooo “over estimating and hyperbolizing the truth” is to expand or enlarge the truth to a ridiculous extent to make a point? This is a bad thing? If Elizabeth had been from anywhere but pretentious NYC and spoken more plainly what would it have sounded like?
Let me help you understand what she’s saying.
Pointing out the truth is bad.
Pointing out lots of truth and stressing those truths is VERY bad.
Now that we can look out the rear window at the road we just traveled, of course we can see that it’s littered with injured people (that probably explains all the bumping and lurching that we felt for the last couple years and maybe even the screaming and yelling) but, when we were looking forward at the time all we could see was the empty smooth blacktop stretching into infinity. However, now that it’s over, she’s glad that the peeps in power, acting on untruth, caused all of us, at the time, to be safe and healthy and not die. They did this miracle by keeping us alert.
I wanted to flesh out the “new ways of being alert” she was referring to but when I look out the rear window I see that all that alertness was in reality the problem and not the fix.
Consistently incoherent. Do you go by your initials, LY? Who are you?
Zeynep is an ambitious opportunist, and did a LOT of damage during Covid. I trust her like a snake in the grass.

This man, Bailey Ann, and his husband are just two examples of the endemic mental illness that’s apparently sweeping the country.
Proof of the rot in today's military.
My husband and I went to Beale AFB yesterday to shop, and at the entrance was an electronic sign that blared it was Gay Pride Month (that blurb got about 2 seconds on screen and then disappeared), but I never saw more than that one thing. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes there, but at the commissary and PX , there was absolutely no sign of anything to do with pride garbage. I'm hoping it was just an obligatory sign they were forced by superiors like Lloyd Austin to run.
And veterans only get one day...
“And veterans only get one day”. I wish my LIKE ♥️ button worked Kathleen. You voiced my agitation on who gets praised (with a whole month) and who barely gets noticed.
Yes, it really pisses me off.
BTW, my "like" button has been inoperative for more than 2 weeks.
My LIKE button has been inoperable for that length of time too. For the weeks leading up to it going dead, it was wonky and would only work if I refreshed the page, then…. 💀 it just died completely😵.
Keep fighting for veteran’s and active service members rights Kathleen. I’m betting almost everyone on C&C supports your efforts, including me.

Or a very clever psyop to completely destroy our military
The military is already destroyed.
There is no way the US military can win a war against China.
Which is what makes me lean toward China being behind a lot of this CRT/DEI nonsense. What better way to weaken your enemy than to take out their men and erase masculinity as a concept? Of course, the WEF types are stupid enough to actually believe it's a good thing, so it could be them. And Soros is always an option. But it seems like a military psy-op that's worked very well.
Unconventional warfare.
Why waste bombs on a country when you can destroy it other ways?
Eventually China will be able to merely threaten us and what's left of our military, lacking both adequate enlistment numbers and material (because Ukraine has been gifted it) will simply surrender.
The traitors in the Pentagon will roll over.
Classic Sun Tzu.
Yes.
Honestly, I don't think China is the immediate threat. I believe the Marxists have intentionally neutered the military and driven out the real men so that when they deploy the 2+ million alien men they have recruited and trained as blue-helmeted UN troops against the American people - to keep the peace and protect democracy - the US military will not oppose them. Think about it. The occasion for this deployment could be the assassination of Trump after he wins the election but before he takes office. Biden could then deploy the "UN peace keeping" troops to "prevent an insurrection" and protect democracy (ie, the Marxist coup). This would be the final coup de grace to the heart of American liberty. Biden would then be free to name his successor.
This is more or less how Hitler consolidated power in Germany by burning down the Reichstag German parliament. Also has similarities to Lenin and Stalin. Marxists are very predictable as they do not change their MO.
China doesn't care about us in the way the militarists think. They've invested heavily in the US. Bonds, real estate, stock, etc. And care about their investment. Whoever governs the US only matters to them insomuch as if their investment is protected, producing returns. They're obviously not committed to Marxist economic policies, central global control. Will be happy to control their own region. That whole, "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" thing. As long as whoever leads the US doesn't take away their investments they'll be content with whatever a regional US power does internally, "with American Characteristics."
China is an immediate threat if they surround Taiwan...
I am not worried about Russia.
I don’t think the powers that be want to beat China.
TPTB want China to beat the US.
Which would not be hard at this point.
LOL, No Sh-t
All are glowing examples of a society that hates the Almighty Creator GOD and has aligned themselves with the evil deceiver who seeks to kill, steal, and destroy every human being. Total destruction is the end goal.

Maybe someone else has commented about this, but if Bailey is "married," then how can he/she even participate in a "Miss" pageant? Rules? Ha, rules are made to be broken.
Understanding what we’re up against. Depravity has no bottom.

A fascinating piece. Thank you for sharing.
And what does this say about Bailey Ann's husband? He gets off on feminized men, I guess? Ick. Too dark to think about.
gag, a Marine, double gag.
So the husband wants someone who looks and acts like a woman but has gay sex? So looking like a woman is ok but having female parts isn’t? I just can’t with those people.
Two gay men, one pretending to be a woman because they both get off on it that way. I know one gay male couple who are kind of disgusted by this, interestingly enough.
What's his real name? And who, exactly, "outted him" as a man competing as a woman?
🎯
I don't know what to be more shocked over (Miss Maryland). The fact a man won a women's pageant or the fact all the biological female contestants surrounded him and happily cheered his win.
Women, the only way out of this madness is to STOP participating in these events. If enough women stand up and denounce these atrocities, these events won't survive.
Women need to get pissed.
I agree completely. But how on earth do you get these women to get furious over all this if they aren't already? I remember when my granddaughter was about 13 (12 years ago!) we went to a volleyball game she was in. I immediately noticed that every single time her team messed up, missed a ball etc. they high-fived each other. I couldn't believe it and asked my daughter why they were doing that. She didn't know, but didn't find it as odd as I did. I think some of the stupidity conditioning was going on back then.
I don't know when it all started...
That's what the left wants. They left wants to destroy everything it touches. How do you fight against an enemy that wants to destroy everything no matter how that happens. I was wondering about the whole Bud Light thing. Was the end game to take down an American Icon? The parent company didn't lose anything because they owned the competitors like Modelo whose sales went up. But many hardworking Americans lost their retirement that they had in stock shares. It's like they box us in and there's no good way out.
This always makes me think of Rush Limbaugh predicting that they wanted to destroy football since it is such a representation of America. I think there is truth to the idea that they want to destroy iconic institutions and traditions.
Like the Boy Scouts, marriage and family.
Some Catholic visionary said that "The final battle between the Lord and the kingdom of Satan will be about Marriage and the Family."

If you are unfamiliar with the movie, Joe Bob Briggs says, "check it out!"
"Beginners class today, Kuni?"
"Yah, they so STUPID!"
I miss him, too.
I never really listened to him much but my mom did and would frequently tell me about stuff he said. He certainly did have some wise observations.
I thought it represented a bad trend when football replaced baseball as the quintessential American sport. The contrast is dramatic.
Yes interesting point.
Bingo!...also statues, trying to steal Graceland, churches, etc. Watch for other key places like the statue of liberty.
The left has already destroyed everything they have touched. Can you name me one single metric that has been spared?
Can't name one...there are some strong churches still standing, but they have infiltrated many churches as well.
I say we take down the beauty pageants. They were never about true beauty anyway, just upholding toxic standards. How many young women have developed eating disorders trying to look like models? Women have far, far more to offer than their looks. If mentally unstable men want to help expose beauty pageants for the scam that they are, I'm completely in favor of that!
Except, as is already the case, it'll likely go more toward teaching adolescent and teen girls that if they're uncomfortable in their maturing bodies, it must be because they're actually boys, not because they see themselves as imperfect, overweight, etc.
Of course. Why can't we just teach young girls to love themselves, be healthy, find their passions, and live meaningful lives?
Well in all fairness, pageant contestants have figures. Models are supposed to look like clothes on a hanger...true!
Just like with sports ages 0 - 18 years. Fathers, and mothers, just will not keep their daughters home and refuse to play against teams with boys.
Well, these parents are ruining the sport by not thinking past themselves. The scores & times these trans are achieving in female sports is through the roof. They're setting records no biological female can or will ever be able to beat.
Marvelous point that many haven’t considered.
If you think Miss Maryland is shocking, wait til you see Miss Alabama. The Paris Olympics are going to be a schisse show. How do you say Auslander Raus in French?
I think that these situations are a deliberate attempt to destroy the culture. Not that beauty pageants are high culture by any means, but in the US they have been a kind of "folk" culture, captures the attention of the masses and harmless enough. So I see this as a deliberate attack on popular culture. Laying the groundwork for communist infiltration. So who is behind it? Were those organizing the pageant bought off? Neither of these "winners" should have been in the pageants to begin with. Definitely an agenda being pushed.
1. Destroy the family
2. Destroy religion
3. Destroy culture/society
4. Control the Brave New World
Redefine and attack the true, the good, and the beautiful.
Exactly!

I don't think beauty pageants are "harmless." They uphold ridiculous and unnatural standards of feminine beauty, and contribute to teenage girls and young women being appearance and image obsessed, developing eating disorders and body dysmorphia, etc. Women should boycott these events altogether
I don't think most people take them that seriously. Beauty pageants are really just kind of a side show, popular entertainment. If someone develops an eating disorder, something is amiss psychologically; it is not because of the existence of beauty pageants. I just think that physical beauty is just another human trait and that those lucky enough to be beautiful should not be disparaged (or mocked as the 400 pounder and male contestant are doing.)
I think that beauty pageants exacerbate mental health problems in young women and teenage girls. They already would have a tendency to obsess about appearance during that period of their life, but I believe that this tendency is greatly encouraged by many aspects of society, not just beauty pageants, but also social media, and the false images of physical perfection on TV, on magazines, everywhere you look. Beauty pageants are just one aspect of that, and I was mostly talking about the contestants developing eating disorders as a direct result of them.
As a participant in the Miss America Pageant System as a youth, and a current stay at home, homeschool mom, I support this pageant system. It teaches young women, decorum, poise and how to wear makeup/clothes that are appropriate for the situation. It’s teaches young women how to speak eloquently with strangers and how to handle an interview well. This theft of something good for something evil is more evidence of what’s going on in the world. The idea of the pageant is valuable and I hope it can be a force for good again.
I think young women could learn decorum and poise without also learning that their looks are the most or even the only important thing about them and that most of them will be second at best in that category. Beauty culture is toxic for young women and some aspects of it are now starting to affect young men as well.
absolutely. see my comment below
I had reason to go to a regional pageant last year. They are not what you may remember from the 70s and 80s.
You’re right; destroy our culture.
Planned agenda to sow more confusion and dismay.
just how harmless is it to corral young girls into thinking that wearing I'm a sex object clothes and mincing around mouthing idiocies is a useful career path? as opposed to climbing trees, building forts, riding horses, enjoying math and science, learning an instrument, writing songs and singing them, building houses, being an electrician, computer programmer, making movies and everything else that makes us human.
I don't think it is an either/or. Can't I ride horses and be in a beauty competition as well. Interesting that you appear to value so many areas where men are known to excel (electrician, computer programming, building forts ). Beauty pageants are built around a society's standard of beauty. All societies have a standard of beauty. It is part of human nature. If a young woman is gifted with physical beauty, and seeks the acknowledgement of a competition, how is that different from a sports or other competition? Competition is entrenched in our society.
absolutely do what ever rocks your boat. men excel at the wide variety of human experience because they are conditioned to from birth. women have been actively excluded /steered away from them. and are equally gifted in every aspect of being human along with men. however there is only so much time energy attention available to all of us. ps our all girls group of 8-11 yo's built our fort. I designed and did much of the carpentry on my house. I clean my chimneys, work on my car, garden, kayak, bike, train dogs as do many of my women friends.
Are you willing to also associate this with girls dance, cheerleading, baton twirling, etc.? Could these exercises, disciplines be performed without excess in paint, costume or adult entertaining imitation? And no gender or age respect.

But look who’s going along with it. LOTS of people, and that is the danger. In both NYT and the tranny Miss A story we have mind-controlled (-less) readers and viewers. It’s not the perpetrators but the followers who are dangerous.

Hard to say who exactly. Could be CCP via Confucius Institute seeding these terrible ideas into university settings. Could be Soros looking to cause chaos and take the US down. Could be WEF/EU and their flying monkeys trying to tank the US to take control of the West.
The sole purpose is to destroy traditional norms and values and replace them with deviant ones that undermine the society itself. As Barry said: fundamentally change America. And we all know the rumors about him and his...wife...(and we know he works for the EU/WEF).
But, whoever it is, it isn't some organic thing. It's manufactured. Talk to actual young people the age of these two beauty pageant "winners" and you'll see they think it's nuts. Talk to the people who watch these things and they think the same.
The only people who want this are the people running these shows and their funders - the ruling class elite - who have been propagandized to insanity.
As with everything they do, after it's caused a bunch of misery and chaos, it will backfire and like the NYT talking about covid policies, they'll pretend it never happened or that it was just a misunderstanding based on "partisanship." We'll have to remind them why it actually happened.
or it could be the hidden hand that controls all of those seen things. https://stopworldcontrol.com/monopoly/

Luckily, in our country, even if he was still competing, Our Olympic level women (like Katy Ledecky) could still kick Will Thomas’s ass. I believe he has retired now. Oooooo!

Sorry but the whole Beauty is in the eye of the beholder bullshit is just that. Bullshit. That poor young thing will be a medical case all her life until she dies of something that wouldn’t happen if she wasn’t so fat. And that used to be something to be ashamed of. But alas, fat shaming is a crime. So let’s pretend she’s pretty, poised, thin, and attractive. Don’t believe your lying eyes.
Agree. She didn’t win despite being overweight she won because of it! That is the problem!
Ok so you don't like her weight. It's unhealthy. Whatever. She tried. Ten times. She is a person AND a woman. And she can and they did. Whatever. As a woman that has had great struggles to find a HEALTHY weight... What is that anyway? Gov has set a standard but some don't fit that. Hollywood also sets a precident and it stinks to high heaven. Men acquire an interest based on the same models!!
I'm not saying you are all wrong but you aren't a woman dealing with a woman's hormonal change every week from ten to the test of her life. Personally I HATE beauty contests but as a youth I did learn how to walk in heals with poise. Perhaps that's all the judges should be looking at. 😁
Boy did you miss the entire point. RIGHT OVER YOUR HEAD
(They) are doing this to disrupt our society.
Men accepted as women. Beauty now replaced with obesity.
She's hundreds of pounds into fatland, and you're going on about hormone changes?
Thank you for your response. You're right of course. I'm old and hormonal and although i actually am built like Marilyn M/Norma Jean I was never tall enough for a beauty contest. And the pressure women have to be built like a contest winner, a picture of perfection, can be deadly. And it IS ALL ABOUT HORMONES!! You've missed the point.
Btw I am not praising AL for this decision. I hate "beauty" contests for ppl of every gender and age.
There is a change in narrative. The last several decades our ideas of fitness and healthy body weights have shifted. Eating home prepared foods gave way to fast foods and more sugar in everything! We now have a teenage obesity catastrophe that Covid only made worse. For two years weddings were put on hold because all venues were shut down. Now weddings seem to be back in vogue, but the bride looks like a sausage stuffed into a too tight casing. 80% of the brides I see now are most definitely overweight and the trend does not seem to be slowing.
But never fear, Pharma has come up with Ozempic…
I've read that Ozempic is sold with a box of adult diapers....🤣
I do get your point, but the whole idea of beauty pageants is not to choose someone who is ordinary but someone exceptional on several levels, including appearance. Of course that’s somewhat subjective (I think the plastic looking Barbie types are not that beautiful personally, although they seem to be a popular choice for many people) but I feel like the whole idea is being turned on its head. Like men winning women’s swim meets and breaking records in women’s sports.
"Beauty" pageants ARE ALL about beauty and they throw in a few caveates for interest to women. 🤔
Well yes, they did throw those in but they are called “*beauty* pageants” for a reason. It’s definitely a focus on physical beauty. I have no illusions about that. I personally think someone’s talent or poise in how they speak and present themselves helps add to the. purely physical part of their beauty so it made sense to add that. But it’s clearly only tangentially important. To be frank I haven’t watched any or cared about them in decades. I think the plastic surgery and the genuflecting to wokeness took away any of their validity or interest they may have had. Still, even though I don’t really care that much about pageants, I resent this idea of again trying to pretend that someone who was born a man can be “the nation’s most beautiful woman.” 😕
Never could walk in heels. I am short (under 5’) and heels give me nose bleeds from the height. So scary when I can see the refrigerator top shelf without a step stool.
Lol that last sentence made me giggle, love the way you phrased that! 😆😁 I personally love heels but I found a couple of pairs that are actually comfortable even wearing them for hours (it’s quite the miracle let me tell you!). I totally get why some women dislike them and won’t wear them though! I feel the same way about Birkenstocks 😆😛
🤣 one time while shopping with a friend, I tried on these ridiculously high heals. I could see over the store shelving and my head felt like it was spinning. 😂 I get where you are coming from! 😂
It’s a vertigo and acrophobia inducing experience 😆🤣
How strong would the heels have to be to support the weight of Miss Alabama?
Interesting that when I tried to find out how much she actually weighs, I couldn't find a single article that gave her weight. She has to be over 400 lbs, though.
🤣😂🤣 Jeez. She’s a gluttonous pig. Say I’m mean (which is why pigs are winning contests -everyone has to virtue signal) and unfair. She isn’t a role model. Young women should not look up to her. She didn’t win because of her hard work and merit. She won because she is grossly obese. Think of all the dead animals that had to go into making that carcass! Think of all the extra trash she generates -not environmentally friendly.
😮🤭😂
Physical beauty has objective, measurable standards -- facial symmetry, a 0.7 waist to hips ratio, and a healthy BMI. The Degenerate Freak Mafia® hates these standards and, along with the (((culture curators))), have bent their black souls to the destruction of truth and beauty standards.
Women, naturally being followers and easily swayed by advertising have taken up the torch of denigrating the standards of truth and beauty.
Are you jewish, by the way??
Yes someone has designed the PERFECT type, like an edifice by a human architect erected to the gods.
And men seek that temple for themselves.
Are you muslim, by the way?
Straight, White, Northern European, benevolently patriarchal Protestant Christian. You know, the same ones who conquered North America and developed the USA.
I'll take your dissimulation as a "yes".
💯❤️
Alabama has one of the highest obesity rates in the US. It makes sense to me that they would choose someone who looks like the majority of people who live there.
Untrue. https://www.statista.com/statistics/207338/overweight-and-obesity-rates-for-adults-in-alabama-by-ethnicity/
Black 52.4%
White 35.9%
Hispanic 33.2%
It is in the top 10 states for obesity so I would say true.
500? Just short of never being able to leave the house again. They had better put some monitoring on her if she’s going to be able to stay slim enough to make public appearances.
lol, literally
She's a little overweight. /s
Yes when I first heard about Miss Alabama I hadn’t seen pics so I thought oh she must be one of those big girls not exactly obese but couldn’t be a size 2 ever. Then I saw her. No she’s just fat fat I mean she has rolls on rolls. WTH?! But at least she’s not a man.
Reflexive partisan politics derailed an honest conversation about Covid for the past four years? Are they kidding us right now? The only thing that derailed an honest conversation of Covid was the absolute shutdown of any opinions contrary to mainstream media, Fauci, the CDC, and the WHO. This is utter nonsense. Honesty was subverted. Buried. Anyone asking questions was canceled. Polls were taken and articles were published staring they wanted contrarians like us locked up and removed from our family and polite society. They didn’t want us treated in hospitals. And NOW they want to have an honest conversation? The American people should be outraged over this op ed. The New York Times may have unwittingly woken up a majority of Americans, who were not in the know until now. We can only pray.
I mean they censored pilloried Martin Kulldorff and Bhatacharya- Kulldorff was even FIRED from Harvard. Now they want a discussion? They can kiss my… you are SO right we should be incensed!
There will never be an honest conversation. The important thing for them is to keep propagandizing "covid" to ensure that no matter what you believe about the "origin" you believe that it was a REAL pandemic--that's the message these fake debates are driving home. That regardless of lab or bat, you NEED chemical injections to survive.
Let's watch--I'm betting they never settle the argument.
Jessica Hockett is a great Stack to read regarding the numbers and claims of a pandemic. Denis Rancourt an equally compelling voice.
According to Randy Thornhill, in The Parasite Stress Theory of Human Values, we get more authoritarian under the threat of infectious disease, so this incessant debate, which actually acts as cover for whatever really happened, plus the new bird flu hysteria, keep people not only in fear, but in tribalism, and leaning towards authoritarianism. Not an accident.
Yes--definitely not an accident. I don't think there is a single mainstream news article or newscast anymore that is an "accident." It's scripted from start to finish, down to the last detail.
Covid was a strategized operation, nothing to do with bats or Wuhan. That is why they keep pretending to have the argument.
From Sasha Latypova's Substack today:
DemocracyManifest recently published an excellent post mentioning the pandemic crime cartel preparations for future fake scares to continue solidifying real tyranny, or as they call it “ecosystem”.
The post included the White House’s “Health Security Strategy” Document. It was such an Orwellian masterpiece, that I thought that a translation into human language was necessary.
So, an ambitious five year plan for the USG to “invest” citizens’ tax dollars in the Global Medical Countermeasure Ecosystem. You can get the drift without reading the fine print…

This!!!!! ⬆️
Thanks Nard! The NYT is NOT your friend. This limited hangout (that WAS the call, Jeff. I appreciate and love your optimism, but just sayin') only serves to legitimize the narrative that this was a real pandemic, which it was not. Read Sasha Latypova and Denis Rancourt for the details. So now, if you follow their logic, everything will be OK, this time. We now have early confirmation from the Peter McCullough article referenced yesterday that the avian flu is Lab-leaked. Oh, so we're being honest this time, and transparent, and really sorry about the leak, but, lucky for you, we have now PERFECTED the mRNA platform!!! Queue up, everyone!!
No because thinking people won’t read that rag.

Women only have themselves to blame for cheering on men who think they can be better women.
Some of us aren’t, but I agree, the ones who are cheering have no leg to stand on to complain about men taking over or anything like that. Bunch of tools.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, in Your name did we not prophesy, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’
— Matthew 7:21-23 LSB
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, [l]sexual immorality, wickedness, [m]covetousness, [n]maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, [p]unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. Romans 1:28-32
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their [i]women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the [j]men, leaving the natural use of the [k]woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. Romans 1:26-27
Therefore, God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen Romans 1:24-25
Apparently this piece of scripture is not so popular as the happier ones. :)
But people need to hear it.
Dr. Ralph Baric + Bat Lady in Wuhan = covid bioweapon
And if that wasn't deadly and sick enough, Baric's lab at UNC Chapel Hill developed the kill drug Remdesivr.
So if they didn't kill you with covid, they will try to kill you with the "cure."
https://sph.unc.edu/sph-news/remdesivir-developed-at-unc-chapel-hill-proves-effective-against-covid-19-in-niaid-human-clinical-trials/
They could never kill you with covid--that was all propaganda. There was not a single person who died at home "from covid." Think about that, considering that they want to say 1 million died.
Baric and the Bat Lady's intent was to make coronavirus more deadly and transmissible.
I don't think so--I think those stories are props. They knew they couldn't do it, but even those stories accomplish one main thing: they prop up the "virus in a lab" idea. It was never deadly or transmissible. The entire story, inclusive of hundreds of sub stories like these, is a staged, scripted event.
AL, I do have to add that the delayed but intense inflammatory cascade did kill many, especially during the first wave. But noooo, it’s too dangerous to use steroids and anticoagulants. Then they added vents (instead of BiPap) and Remdesivir and you know the rest of the story. But there were indeed ‘real’ Covid deaths.
I don't believe there was any real "intense inflammatory cascade" except in the media. Think about that for a while. Unless one was hospitalized (where they could say and do anything to kill people) it just wasn't happening.
There was sickness--I had something myself, but it felt more like a poisoning.
Sorry AL, you’re mistaken. The virus itself almost never kills. It’s mostly the over activation of the complement system leading to cytokine storm that kills. Causes inflammation of the blood vessel linings, leading to clots and ruptures among other organ damage. Well before we had the shots and the deadly hospital protocols, these deaths were occurring. Think about why some folks got sick so quickly, and even died enroute to the hospitals. Truth. Not everyone developed this of course, but it’s real and deadly.
Complement cascade in severe forms of COVID-19: Recent advances in therapy. Eur J Immunol. 2021 Jul;51(7):1652-1659. doi: 10.1002/eji.202048959. Epub 2021 Apr 10. PMID: 33738806; PMCID: PMC8250085.
Right, I disagree. That is the controlled opposition narrative. Who is to say that was not over-hyped and/or caused by something else. It disappeared as quickly as it appeared and did not "spread" like a virus would. Lots of problems with this narrative.
Saw it; treated it. SMH that when you’re finally faced with some real science, you deny its validity.
Often reported was actual feeling better for a few hours or a day, followed by rapid decline. Most all severely ill Covid patients bumped their tests showing blood clotting and heart inflammation. It’s easy, given all the falsehoods we’ve endured, to blame everything on hysteria and the media, but the first wave was indeed deadly to some. Unaccountably, it wasn’t all the sick and the elderly. Nutritional status (e.g. Vit D deficiency) probably played a role, and being on certain anti inflammatory drugs (like for rheumatoid arthritis) and anti hypertensives (ACE inhibitors) seemed protective.
No surprise that both the disease and the shots lead to blood clots and heart inflammation; shots much, much worse because of the persistence of the spike protein.
Disgusting!
Kathleen Janoski 🎯🎯🎯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Those NY Times readers are trying their best to hang in there. They just don't want the scamdemic to be over.
It's like there's a little tyrant in them that loves the control over others that comes with a crisis like this.
They love their masking and their boosters.
I wonder how many of them will request in their will to be buried with a mask on. Playing it safe
"no one is safe, until everyone is safe"
“It could have been worse.”
Just rewatched this British comedian yesterday and you made me think of this. Worth a watch! “It Could Be Worse”. https://youtu.be/V7d79Knc8p4
And their power trips! And virtue signaling!
...I am so sick of it all.
Me too.
I think the only ones who would fall for that already hate Trump and support Biden.
I have to say I was amused by Prof. Tupekci vilifying “doing your own research.” In theory they teach you that very thing in school and it was one of the lamest rebuttals of the Covid era in my book! The irony is killing me.
Her answers to the commenters belied her true stance. She’s controlled op on steroids.
Yes. I thought the same thing.
Honestly it was the media coverage of Trump from 2016-2020 that made me start "doing my own research" on covid. I was so disgusted by the absolute lies they reported on him that I knew something was fishy about covid/vaccines/masking from the beginning. Thank god for early vaccine skeptics on Twitter or I would probably have gotten one.
That was definitely a contributing factor for me too. And a lot of things just not making sense. Plus my reaction to fear is research and asking questions to determine how well founded the fear is (it either usually isn’t or it might be but the research allows me to find alternatives or solutions).
Same. I just said yesterday that I feel like I have at least a masters in covid at this point 😂
Right?? I also feel like I know more about masks than I ever thought I would know or want to know 🤪
Shocking NYT op-eds indeed! But those comments...I truly can't even begin to understand how mainstream humans think in 2024.... so many still defending the powers that be. It's even worse when you read the comments on mainstream media coverage of the recent Fauci testimony. Rabid defenders of the rat, claiming right-wing conspiracy. How??
I wanted to add that today's theme of "shocking" was really fitting for me this morning. Just found out that a young acquaintance's husband (early-mid 40s) just died "suddenly and unexpectedly" (literally his widow's own words). They were big vaccine proponents. Shocked (but not)...and extremely sad.
So sad that people were duped and it brought about their death.
I'm very sad. They are very sweet, kind, and giving people (and not overly obnoxious about their vaccine love) who indeed got duped. They didn't deserve this. It's truly tragic.
The world is a dangerous place. Evil is always lurking. Never trust anyone in authority except the Creator.
Amen, brother (or sister). One of my favorite quotes:
"Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth."
--Albert Einstein
Here's another good one:
"There is no distinctly American criminal class....except Congress."
---Mark Twain
All because of misplaced trust in a government that should not have been trusted. It truly grieves my heart to know how many were deceived.
I feel the same 😞
The fact that these comments were in the slimes, by none other than full blown prog ideologues, proves the fact that the whole thing was turned political by the very powers that could have not made it political. And women, you’ve got to get your shit together. Half of you are becoming awfls. WTF?
Well from what I’ve seen, the vast majority of the women here on C&C are not. You're preaching to the choir I’d say.
That’s so sad. So many people in denial too 😕
😩
I’m so glad I don’t use facebook
I'm using it to educate others until I'm forced off. I've been told by friends irl that they read and learn from my FB timeline.
Jeffrey Tucker's article about Google reinforces my decision to avoid using it too. https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/they-are-closing-up-the-internet-5660249
I stay far away from google as well
I'm channeling John Hancock on FB (though still technically anonymous here) - "You wanna know who I am? I'll tell you who I am!"
Was just thinking this the other day, how I used to get more naturopathic results to searches on Google for medical conductions than I do now. Was looking for alternative treatments for cervical dystonia and every search led to the same (pharmaceutical intervention) results. I’ve already had one round of Botox injections in my neck and upper back that did nothing (and for which my insurance paid $5800), but massage therapy isn’t covered? 😡😡🤦🏼♀️
I noticed the disappearance of alternative health information from Google searches a year or 2 before 2020. Many already cancelled or removed from the searches. They were getting ready.
Check out Northwest Functional Neurology. They have good success with dystonia.
I will, thank you! Wish I were closer to them (I'm in San Diego). Have you used them?
My daughter did an intensive with them in March for post-concussion syndrome. We heard several dystonia success stories while we were there and her doctor (Dr Weston) said those types of cases are actually his favorite to treat. We came from PA -don't let distance discourage you. They are world-class!
Thanks for the info. Do you mind if I message you to ask a little more?
Amen.
I've been tossed more times from Twitter than I can count.
I've been suspended since May of 2021, for a mild, agreeable comment on my professional areas of expertise - medicine and public health. Even Elon's arrival hasn't changed my status.
I was tossed both before and after Elon's arrival.
I don’t twitter either. I’m a throw back. : )
I was never on Facebook.
Although I can see why businesses use it because it provides a pre-made platform for then instead of the business having to pay and monitor a stand alone website.
I get it. However, those companies lose my business generally
I won't ever use a company again that was a mask Nazi.
Me either. I'm always in jail.
The thing is, the Republicans keep saying they are ON IT. 24/7. Sure they are.
On 7 February 2020, Dr. Francis Boyle went on Infowars and told Alex Jones that covid was a bioweapon.

Yes!
And there’s also Event 201 which staged the whole pandemic, including how censorship would be needed to deal with the “ antivaxxers”

Miss Maryland = the "lady boys" US Navy sailors told me about when they did a port visit to the Philippines.
They’re a thing in Thailand too.
Yes.
Guess people never watched the movie "The Crying Game."
Do I want to?

Yes.
Exactly!
