In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Globalists Media Stupidity US Feral Government ctrl-left
Peak Stupidity leans realist. We can't save all the children from harm, the US Gov't can't, America can't, and even ICE can't. The usual BS out of the ctrl-left about the children in the cause of continuing the Population Replacement Programme has been "You're splitting up families! The poor children!"
Well, you can try to explain that "Yeah, I mean, if I get pulled over and thrown into jail for DUI for a night, the cops won't let me bring my son with me either." That would probably be for the best! Anytime a criminal is put away, he doesn't get to stay with his children. Put away may include put a long way away, across a border or an ocean sometimes. It's very humane of Americans to even consider that the children could stay here, but these families are always free to consider NOT splitting up and going home together.
This post comes out of my spending ENTIRELY too much time today commenting on and arguing about the latest Ron Unz article on his site, Say Goodbye to the Second Amendment---and Most of the Others as Well! . Mr. Unz's hyperbole here has been unmatched by anything I've read from him previously. He has really exposed himself lately as a pro-Immigration-Invasion Trump hater.
Ron Unz sees nothing wrong with the PRP because, as he admits, East Palo Alto, California, just east of his Palo Alto, has a much lower crime rate since Hispanics replaced the black residents. I don't doubt it, but then those black people didn't just die. They went somewhere else, and all kinds of foreigners have been let to pour into everywhere, but that doesn't matter to Mr. Unz because his Palo Alto is going to be A-OK in all this. The rest of us can go screw, I guess... is his position.
As I finally weaned myself off of The Unz Review this evening, I took a look at some ZeroHedge articles. This one struck me: Border Czar Homan Says More Than 145,000 Illegal Immigrant Children Located. I've discussed the human trafficking before, with Dark Brandon and that treasonous Ally-Hondro Mayorkas being the Traffickers-in-Chief*, back in early '22. Then, we did go see The Sound of Freedom, a movie/documentary about human trafficking by Hispanics - see a review by UR commenter Mike Tre here.
I'll finally get to the point. (I'm kind of bad about this, I realize.) The ZH article notes that, per "Border Czar" Tom Homan, it wasn't just ICE, but also the FBI and the Office of Refugee Resettlement (I generally DON'T like the latter org, I must say!) who were involved in locating these 145,000 children in the interior of the USA. They are said to be searching for 300,000 more!
Peak Stupidity cares about the PRP mostly because we care about America, no so much about foreign children. However, they are children still, and it's amazing that the emotional news journalists that deign to care about... things ... haven't been all over this story, while if one kid fell in a well somewhere ... It's amazing how evil the Globalists and ctrl-left have been in that these children are just collateral damage of their effort to destroy America.
Because of the confusing timeline in the story, I'm not sure about my subtraction, but regarding these children, these 3 government orgs continue to locate:
more than 300,000 unaccompanied alien children” whom he said had been “turned over to unvetted sponsors, lost track of, and weren’t looking forward” under the Biden administration.They were lost track of. We've got to check in with the office to get a kid out of school, there are these Amber Alerts for one missing kid (likely often taken by the Family Court-screwed Dad), but, hey, three hundred thousand children were just "lost track of".
Of those [323,000 this time], more than 291,000 unaccompanied migrant children had not been served court notices by ICE as of May 2024, while another 32,000 were served notices to appear in court but failed to do so, according to the report.Yeah, they're kids. They don't go traveling to immigration court. Oh, and they probably can't read English... and can you serve a notice to a little kid anyway?
“Many of the children who came across the border unaccompanied were allowed to be placed with sponsors who were smugglers and sex traffickers,” McLaughlin said in a November 2025 statement. [Bolding by ZeroHadge.]The Epstein Files have been back in the news. Sure, to me the blackmail aspect is the ONLY important story there, but if you want to talk about abused children, maybe this story could get a little equal time.
Two or three useful idiot Commies have FAFO'd lately, causing a big fuss. ICE is seen by Ron Unz and millions of others, being big suckers for Commie propaganda, as the Gestapo 2.0. Yet, that's 2 or 3 worthless adults killed but 145,000 children found. Thank you, ICE! I do hope these children find their families again or good homes, in their home countries preferably, but somewhere.
If it, in this case, ICE "saves just one child..." Isn't that what the worried journalists always say? Then why come we don't hear no praise of the ICE men for... THAT -----> [145,000] many?

PS: See, now I've forgotten what I was going to say about AI - this probably requires a post on it - but another thing came up.
There is a funny anti-Somalian, anti-Tampon Timmah music video around with one Natasha Owens singing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCqL8_9NOxg
Thing is, it's NOT in 3/4 time, so it's not a waltz. Did AI not understand the pun, or does AI not have a foot to tap?

PS: "We have removed the demand for demonstrated competency in exchange for the vote." from Curt Doolittle.
How many women back then, a little over a century back through almost 2, really cared about the vote anyway? I'm guessing the homely agitators pushed all this, and eventually your average woman and her husband just sick of arguing about it went along.
I'm with Ann Coulter on this. Repeal XIX.

Re: Mr Kief on Curt Doolittle: He is not a university person but he has put a lot of thinking into things. He definitely "riffs free-style" and has a casual communication style thru Twitter. His personality, interaction with social media and related technologies, and non-presence in the university system professionally, allows him to be more bold.
Here is his latest:
______________
(WOMEN)
by Curt Doolittle
Feb 2026
Yes the majority of women have proven, over time, and as expected, that they are unfit for participation in the organs of state - or any domain that requires truth before face, inequality vs equality, systemization (scale) over empathy (interpersonal), outcome (over time) over experience (in time).
They have destroyed education at all levels, destroyed our law, destroyed our policies, and destroyed our government, and even our gene pool.
Because they cannot tell the difference between claiming care and empathy vs performing evasion of responsibility for discipline. As such they cannot separate the good from conformity. And their conformity is the irresponsibility for preservation of responsibility.
Is this true as women gain children? Not so much. Whereas women mature earlier at least sexually and emotionally, and men mature later in most ways, men develop systemization young and scale young. So while men 'catch up' to women by about 26, women don't 'catch up' to men until they've had three or more children and lose the capacity to overregulate empathy abstractly by having to deal with children's reality.
I have struggled now for a decade to try to solve this problem - I 'm a product of my generation of 'women and men are equals'. And so I'm not happy about what I understand. There are solutions. But none of them are terribly easy to digest given the fantasies we've built up over the twentieth century.
We have removed the demand for demonstrated competency in exchange for the vote. And we have tolerated face before truth in our institutions. This feminization has brought us to collapse as it did in every other civilization that allowed it to happen.
It's sad.
I prefer my women on a pedestal.
That might require we remove the bait that produces that hazard of their instincts.

PS: Good afternoon, Dieter!
(Just a quick message because I've got leave for work soon...)
I agree. Digital photography is a miracle of technology. Simply amazing! AI is too. (In its own way.) But... When it comes to information produced by AI chatbots like ChatGPT or google's Gemini you really have to fact check them not only for simple math errors (like the one in my Canada example below where Gemini determined that 41.6 million is greater than 162 million) but also for simple mix ups akin to dyslexia. (And of course the occasional all out gibberish that they sometimes call hallucinations.)
As far as I can tell, these interesting pieces of software do not (yet) have any capacity to "learn" anything in the traditional sense. (They simply do not have any ability to independently acquire new skills.) Rather, they are advanced, static pattern matching engines that can use temporary context and external data to give the appearance of "learning" while summarizing a search engine result in an entertaining way all while keeping within their pre-programmed safety parameters and guardrails. (As decided by their handlers.)
(Or something like that.)
Happy Wednesday, Dieter!
I hope you have a great evening! ☮️

Mr. Hail - - I found "Curt Doolittle" a bit self-centred and - mentally stiff at times too. - As is often the case with people who are rather amateurs in their fields of interest.
He is no psychologsit nor social psychologist and his ideas about women's berhavior sure dwell on the insights of this fields but he seems to then riff free-style-y about the topics.
You wrote:
"I have found the work of Curt Doolittle, a political philosopher active today, to be highly useful.
He uses the acronym "GSRM" (Gossiping, Shaming, Rallying, Ridicule, Moralizing, Psychologizing, Undermining, Reputation destruction, and solving for Face or consent) to refer to the "female competitive strategy.""
- And I find Doolittles ideas a bit unstructured - his picture painted with a braod brush. While the same picture by Ms. Mac Donald & Andrews and JB Peterson and Steve Stewart-Williams and Jonathan Haidt and Iain McGilchrist (The Matter With THings/ The Master and his Emissary) are a bit more to the point, it seems to me. -My dir4ct interactions with Mr. Doolittle were also on the a tad stiff side - so I lost interest.
Bottom line: Mr. Doolittle too is with the women-aspect of communication onto soemthing VERY important with an aweful lot of consequences. I tend to think these days. The most improtant topic - at least with regard ot communicaiton / mass-communication. Ms. Mac Donald posted***** today some research shwowing that women at universities clearly prefer "emotional harmony" and "Equality" over truth and free speech. - And - devastating as it may be . this is but one of the many aspects this subject is about.

Adam qrote about AI
"But is it correct? (We know it has trouble with simple math, sometimes.)"
My neighbor is a retired physics Prof. and - works with AI trying to get Quantum physics in order... He says it works better than the assistants he had while being active in research a few years back.
Same in my fields . . . incredible search-results with grok - as long as you insist at/contradict to its findings at the points where it takes a fruitless detour. - All in all: A miracle. The second miracle I encounter - the first was when digital photography really took off ca. 2012 ff. with the Nikon D 800 and esp. for me the Sony A 7 R . . . - - - - resolution of a 3 mm diameter thread in - 50 meters in the distance: That was it. Colors stunningly accurate! - And - prints at 1/10th of the cost - with the same quality - - if not better. I had an exhibit of ca. 40 of my pics at a local gallery this winter and made 15 of the prints myself - - and had very moderate cost of ca. 800 Euros for the rest. - This would have been beyond reasonable reach for me - only fifteen years ago...

"Woody" might be Woody Allen, as he definitely communicated with him at other times, but the surviving data on this one just gives the name "Woody."

"Woody" might be Woody Allen, as he definitely communicated with him at other times, but the surviving data on this one just gives the name "Woody."
Epstein adds at the end of this strange communication: "black girls are all horrible f**ks."

Is Mr Smith's rabbit graphic in tribute to the recent release of five-year-old Conejo Ramos from the sold terror-grip of the moral monsters known as ICE?

It seems to refresh if you drop a Reaction Button use. Otherwise by default it seems it doesn't these days, for regular commenters.

PS: Adam, nice graphic… but, your calendar is off by 3 years or so. Was it “Printed in China”? That could be good or bad. I hear it’s the Year of the Horse. Gambei!! Prost! etc!

PS: As you all know, I’ve extolled the greatness of TUR’s commenting system. Search is very good, IMO, with some caveats.
However, generally things have gotten a little, let me say, “off” lately. It used to be that my personal Comments page would be up to date/time, but now that’s not always the case. New comments numbers won’t match each other even on the main page (for example, when a writer’s article is on top but also on the side). Also, a separate minor problem is that I often have to reload the site, that is, load it again by pressing the reload or shift-F5, in order to get the middle column of articles and to get the new comments numbers to appear.
Lately, I’d click some article under which I know I commented recently, then go from there to my comment page, then click on the date stamp of the latest iSteve Community comment of mine to get close to where I want to be.
I’m wondering if some of these problems are due to his having made some special software for the iSteve community moderation.
Anyway, still no real complaints, though.

PS: That was a great quick psycho/mental analysis of the guy, Mr. Kief. Thanks for that. I really like: “ He has no sharp tool to seperate important from unimportant.” Hmmm, there may be something to this psychology thing after all… ;-}
One other example: Of course people don’t like to admit they’ve been wrong, but I don’t think it’s even that regarding that Hispanic crime “Don’t worry” campaign he’s been on. I did read most of his long paper on this. It’s not like he didn’t do a lot of work using good methods. For example, that meant not trusting prison info on the classification of “Hispanic”, as they can be called White to game the stats. He went by last names (maybe also first), something Steve Sailer would do. It seemed like a good analysis until I thought of what happens in real life.
This was about prisoners, like in prison and all. They were all convicted, like, in court. In the meantime, in real life, how many hit-and-run Hispanic drivers, thieves of my piece of sheet steel, spare garbage can, hose sprayer, etc. guys that break into cars, and so on ever even go to court, or even get found, or even get reported, so that someone might even attempt to find them? The whole thing is bogus, but he doesn’t want to hear that. I let others bring it up, mostly, but there come his bar graphs of “Convictions”. Then, you got the guy that mentioned the “Wanted” posters. “I hear nothink, nothink!” - Ron Shultzie Unz

PS: “More likely Ron Unz has been sucked too much into the news-cycle and outrage-cycle driven by social media and the short-video format. At times, at least, this pressure leads him to give in to hype and just go with it.”
I agree. It’s just that he then believes that HIS short video guys, HIS one column by that one guy one time, and HIS 3 very readable comments by some metallicman and later some other weird name, like BakedAlaska, except not that, and also niceland from Iceland who is indeed nice, at least are right, and everyone else is full of it.
He’s plain weird like that. However, I’ll give him credit for admitting he didn’t know what the whole Sanctimony City business was all about and asking me calmly to explain. That took me another hour and a half. The day’s about gone!

PS: Mr. Hail, re your query to AI about our commenter Adam Smith.
Hey, Mountain Time, sure that was easy. I first thought maybe this came from something more “thoughtful” as Adam Smith describes his beautiful spot in the mountains of north Georgia. But AI is smarter than that in that sense I guess. OTOH, how many times has Adam mentioned Georgia - NOT in MS/DT! So AI did not get anything out of that but just sucked in the server’s posting timestamp - Scottsdale, Arizona, where then now-very-annoying GoDaddy operation sits… and, yeah, cough, cough, the bunker, cough.
Right, so this is NOT the Scottish economist Adam Smith, Grok’s pretty sure? Yeah, could it not look up the Scottish guy’s bio and realize that the commenter here would have to be really really old to be the same guy… plus there’s a date in wiki for Economist Adam Smith’s death. Luckily, Adam here clarified that.
You have given me a better look into the mind of Grok, Mr. Hail, and it looks like there is none.

I only read a few pages' worth of the 3,000,000 pages released so far, but even in that sample, I can say this:
The characterization I made of Epstein in the Tucker Carlson / Peter Brimelow post are borne out.
I searched "Koreans" just for fun to see what might come up.
-- In 2013, Epstein and others were concerned North Korea might sell Iran a nuclear weapon, including another Epstein writing in the Wall Street Journal at the time (this other Epstein forwarded to Jeffrey Epstein his own article early before publication, with his compliments).
-- In 2014, Epstein was in contact with former Israel PM Ehud Barak, apparently asking if Israeli agents might put out feelers to North Korea or agents of North Korea; because he, Epstein, as a known US citizen, was "banned from doing biz there."
-- Way back in May 2003, an associate forwarded him an article by George Soros, in a Jewish-Left-oriented magazine, The American Prospect. Soros talks through his concerns of the day, denigrates George Dubya Bush, says the Iraq War will be a failure, and says the USA MUST remain committed to Open Society leftist principles, and if it's not that North Korea and other global problems could become serious problems.
It's funny, these results come from searches for the query "Koreans," and yet most of the results end up oriented towards Israel (including email chains with Ehud Barak) and global Jewish interests.

Later I saw this: "The Epstein Bomb" by Greg Johsnon, fwiw definitely worth the 2000-words of your reading time:

Helen Andrews is on a crusade against Asians in the US university system, and general Asian attempt to enter the US broad elite thru gaming the system. The White-normed US university system was not created, designed, intended for Asian study-culture drones; is part of what she's saying. This big experiment, now decades in the making and ongoing, is a lot bigger trouble than people have been talking about.
(In the talk about illegals, you get talk of Haitians, Central Americans, South Americans, hardly ever East Asians despite rampant visa fraud among their ranks -- many visa overstayers, among other forms of fraud, such that "even" a group like Koreans have a surprisingly high share of their total US-resident population without legal status, they know that if they just wait around that the Big Blue Team will eventually take care of it; plus the embarrassingly huge numbers of Chinese "birth tourists" to grab US citizenship thru exploiting a US-law stupidity loophole.)
Steve Sailer responded to one of Helen Andrews' points. I'll reproduce it here:
______________
HELEN ANDREWS:
Some people think Asian education culture just means studying hard. These books describe what it is in practice. White parents flee these schools because it’s not what they want for their kids—that’s an observation, not a value judgement. I think we should try to understand why.
______________
STEVE SAILER:
My son won a scholarship to a superb Old Money prep school outside Pasadena, CA. The admission office loved hapas, like the half Asian salutatorian who went to Stanford who was also a brilliant professional magician at the Magic Castle in Hollywood.
Full Asians, not so much.
https://x.com/Steve_Sailer/status/2018658681181909265
_____________
Comment by me: Sailer's sons ages suggest this experience was from about the mid-to-late 2000s. The same sort of culture and racial behaviors and attitudes will have percolated out a lot further by now.
I tried asking him this:
_______________
E.H. HAIL
Why would the admission office "love" half-EAsians but "not so much" full-EAsians?
What was the race desirability hierarchy?
Did it include a chain to effect of: "Hapas (greater than) Full-Whites (greater than) Full-EastAsians"?"

Mr Kief: I find the Unz search function very useful and funcitonal. A lot better than Substack, which almost has no search-function at all.
There are only a few small glitches with the Unz search system. For example if searching for Sailer comments it doesn't include the "Sailer Community" material of the past year. If one is aware of this glitch it is easily solved by making two searches, one under iSteve and one under Sailer-Community.

Five cent about the Unz-man.
He suffers from not being and/or belonging to a reliable group of people.
He has no sharp tool to seperate important from unimportant.
With the Skye-man Iain McGilchrist - he is hooked to the left hemisphere of his brain - which can do wonders but - is much less than allmighty. - So - - - he does find and write very interesting things and has very interesting writers too - - but he also writes lots of rather repetitive and - - - may I say - not too important stuff.
Compare what he says abput the everyday consequences of mass immigration to what his californian neighbour, kinda - Viktor Davis Hanson writes (I hope he recovers soon - - - ). - Hansons analysis is based, Ron Unz' analysis is a bit far out into numbers-territory... Same about his analysis of minimum-wages being pushed up beyond market-reach, for exxample.
The Unz review has alsos lost quite a few authors I loved - - like Steve Sailer, James Thompson, commenter Niceland, John Derbyshire...
As we might agree, his comment-system is at least nigh perfect.
I wish the search-fucntion would be more precise. because the site is a treasure which I use quite a bit.

"Ron Unz got his ideas from (Andrew Anglin) along with a bunch of youtube guys that he likes"
More likely Ron Unz has been sucked too much into the news-cycle and outrage-cycle driven by social media and the short-video format. At times, at least, this pressure leads him to give in to hype and just go with it.
This same pressure is applied to everyone, and people can get sucked in, in ways very few did (could) back circa year 2000, or most earlier times. It happens all the time now because of the Internet's effects on the info-space. Everyone is hyped up, agitated, outraged. The dead agitator in Minnesota, Alex Pretti, was a victim of the same.
Andrew Anglin is a demagogue-contrarian who for many many years has been in it for the laughs. It's not clear to me what, if anything, his political program is. He is basically an entertainer.

Grok-AI on "the Peak Stupidity commenter Adam Smith" (used that phrasing in the prompt):
QUOTE from Grok-AI:
__________
Adam Smith is one of the most prolific, helpful, and frequently praised commenters on Peak Stupidity (peakstupidity.com).
He posts regularly (often daily or near-daily) from the Mountain Time Zone (MST), signs many with "PS:" followed by witty, sarcastic, or insightful notes, and contributes links, corrections, humor, and "Daily Stupid" style roundups of news stupidity. (...)
He is not the famous economist Adam Smith (the blogger clarifies this in one post, distinguishing the commenter from the historical figure).
No other personal bio (e.g., exact city, job, or moves) is shared publicly in visible comments or blog references—he maintains anonymity typical of dissident-right commenters.
For direct examples, check recent Peak Stupidity posts with comment sections (e.g., on Minnegadishu, tariffs, or BlogWorks entries where he appears frequently). This is based on content as of February 3, 2026.
(End quote from Grok)
__________
COMMENT from me: You see that nearly every line is full of something awkward, or vague, or both. True PS regulars will know exactly where the thing is extrapolating from.
More often than not, besides some vague references to keywords, it gets things wrong in ways hard to explain (he doesn't "sign many of his comments with PS." Everyone does that!).
We know that Adam Smith does not live in the Mountain Time Zone. We also know why Grok "thought" he did. Guessing Adam Smith lives in Mountain Time Zone is a remarkably low-intelligence call. Even a complete outsider who is human, straight off a camel on the approaches to Timbuktu, could see that everyone gets tagged with Mountain Time Zone (presumably the location of the PS secret underground nuclear-winter bunker).

PS: Another thing, Possumman: I read the whole article by Mr. Unz this time, as it wasn’t that long. His “sources” are, what, one certain Andrew Anglin rant/post? I agree with AA quite a bit, but this young man’s take on ICE being the 2nd coming of the Gestapo is foolish, IMO. It’s like he never heard of, say, the John Birch Society, Lew Rockwell, patriots that used to discuss Waco. This is all. BIG NEWS that government can turn against us. Yeah, we are aware.
So Ron Unz got his ideas from AA along with a bunch of youtube guys that he likes. Occasionally, he’ll tell you straight up - he’s definitely NOT a liar - that this one guy is really full of it. This is after promoting videos from the guy that “prove” all kinds of things for months or years before.
He’s got an open mind, maybe too open, and stuff just goes in an out willly-nilly. Anyway, I’m appreciative of the forum and the, yes, best commenting system in World history, as President Trump would say.

PS: “ Ron Unz is the least readable of many of the crazies on the Unz Review.”
Is that just due to the length of many of his articles, Possumman? He writes well, but he refers to his old stuff a lot, which I’m just not up for keeping up with, because most is just too damn long! He’s thorough is all, and I never doubt his intelligence. OTOH, he’s exasperating - stuff that’s obvious to us is not to Ron Unz.
There are a lot of crazies of the type you say. No matter what you think of Israel v Gaza (at this point), I just don’t think it’s in the top 20 news stories that Americans care about, or maybe ought to care about. I do understand the Epstein* - Israel effect on the US Government. That’s related somewhat but another story, IMO.
I’ve got screen shots showing headlining articles on TUR that are both anti-American and pro-China or a combination. Ron Unz says he doesn’t need to go there, as he has a Chinese friend here who keeps him informed. I don’t know - he doesn’t seem informed at all about important Chinese issues and problems. He LUVS those White girls on youtube that LUV the clean subway cars, gleaming buildings, etc. Do those girls have any idea of WTH really goes on in China behind the scenes? I wouldn’t have either the first 5 times I’d been there.

PS: Also, Mr. Hail, about AI on Peak Stupidity:
First, the bing AI has done a nice job of promoting this site. Some of the time, one will be linked to the non-pretty, single-frame version. This whole frame thing is so 2000 anyway, but once you’re on the single-frame, you stay there. Will I ever get to revamping the site - I really can’t say.
Anyway, thanks for this text to show me what GrokAI did for that kind of search. It seems to rely a whole lot on what I call the topic keys, those attached to each post. I suppose that is smart and takes less effort. If everyone did this, we could do without nukes, right? No nukes! Haha.
“(possibly sarcastic take on pro-deportation arguments)“. Yeah, possibly but not. That’s because you’re just a piece of software and actually understand nothing.
“ lighthearted or mocking tone on data visualization.” Uh, no, that wasn’t the point. I LIKE maps. But, thanks for playing, as the live netizens used to say, oh about 15 years ago.
OK, I see it doesn’t muck with the titles - “Somalian” is written verbatim. It does put the, I suppose, correct term in later. In other words, it doesn’t learn a damn thing from Peak Stupidity, haha. Maybe I should have written “Somalian” 25 times in the post.
I could fisk (a 20-25 y/o www term) the whole thing, but it’s not like I’m arguing with a human. It would be could to do some more experimenting. What if I put this argument up on a post and later asked AI what it thought of it? I guess a lot of people do get in big discussions, as I recall Adam Smith trying to get AI to admit certain truths. I really have done much besides use the blurbs when I want just the smallest bit of info. (My friend wanted to look up the tonnage of Jeff Bezos’ yacht. Answer: A lot!)

Who was the German guy that had a fairly short paper about women’s psychology that we discussed here? I know, I know there were probably a lot, but it’s almost coming to me. His last name started with an “S”, but that’s probably of not that much help. ;-} Mr. Kief might know what paper or essay I’m referring to.

Great way to put this, Mr. Kief. Yes, I remember you may have suggested “Our Lady of the Forest”, for which there is a review under the Books topic key. The other one, “Ed King” is not one I’ve read, but if it’s still within the PS Book Club - which I HAVE to get into the dBase something - then I can check it out.

-- AI on PS, update --
Below is what the Twitter/X "AI," Grok, came up with for a prompt about PS' latest output.
The funny thing is, when you know it's "AI," everything gets tainted (at least to me). You know it's just making everything up based on text and filling in with random-like details that an algorithm thinks is plausible, or how it was trained to summarize such content as PS entries. (The creators knew well people would often use it for such purposes.)
The summaries of the posts are not very useful, often misleading, generally bland, and always hedging in the language used, because it understands nothing.
__________
The PROMPT: "Summarize the latest Peak Stupidity posts."
__________
.
The RESPONSE (all the below is from the Grok AI):
__________
The latest posts on Peak Stupidity (peakstupidity.com), a long-running blog focused on political/cultural critique, "stupidity" in government, media, leftism, globalism, immigration, economics, and related topics—often from a libertarian/right-leaning, sarcastic, and anti-establishment perspective—appear active into early February 2026.
The blog features frequent short-to-medium entries (multiple per week), heavy on commentary, embedded quotes/links (e.g., from pundits, ZeroHedge-style sources), Trump-era policy takes, immigration enforcement praise/critique, anti-communist/anti-left rants, race/genetics observations, and occasional music or humor digressions.
From the blog's archive/recent listings (as of early Feb 2026), here are summaries of some of the most recent posts (reverse chronological, focusing on the very latest visible):
(If ICE saves just ONE child...) (Feb 2, 2026) — Touches on immigration enforcement, child protection rhetoric (possibly sarcastic take on pro-deportation arguments), critiquing globalists, media coverage, federal government overreach, and ctrl-left opposition.
(Peter Brimelow on Tucker Carlson) (Jan 31, 2026) — Discusses immigration commentator Peter Brimelow's appearance/discussion on Tucker Carlson, likely praising restrictionist views; tags include immigration, history, pundits, and websites.
(MOAR Thematic Maps!) (Jan 31, 2026) — Shares/analyzes additional maps (thematic, possibly related to Kung Flu/COVID data, voting, demographics, or stupidity indicators); lighthearted or mocking tone on data visualization.
(Remembering Justine Diamond, murdered by a Somalian Minneapolis Cop) (Jan 30, 2026) — Memorial/reflection on the 2017 Justine Damond shooting by Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor (Somali background); ties into ongoing critiques of immigration, race/genetics, police state, and "Commies."
(Tampon production: 3 things you need to know) (Jan 28, 2026) — Likely satirical or critical piece on female-related topics/science/stupidity, perhaps mocking aspects of gender/product debates or manufacturing.
Other very recent ones (mid-to-late Jan 2026) include:
(Globalization has Failed) (Jan 27) — Argues against globalism, linking to climate stupidity, Trump policies, economics.
(Too Kold for your average Kommie) (Jan 26) — Cold weather mocking leftists/commies on climate change hypocrisy, Trump, religion.
(Trump-47 Report Card: One year into Job #1) (Jan 20) — Evaluates Trump's second term start (inauguration anniversary), focusing on immigration wins and other agenda items.
(Why call them Commies?) (Jan 9) — Defends/ explains labeling Antifa/protesters/leftists as communists, citing tactics like resentment, anti-police/anti-enforcement stances, chemical sprays on them as satisfying.
Overall recent themes: Heavy emphasis on Trump's 2025-2026 actions (deportations, withdrawing from international orgs like UN, foreign policy like Venezuela/China/Monroe Doctrine references), anti-immigration enforcement support (esp. Somali/Minneapolis crime angles), mocking left/commie hypocrisy (cold weather, protests), economic warnings (debt, Yellen catching up), and occasional cultural asides (music like Grateful Dead obits, books/pundits).
Posts are dated up to at least Feb 2, 2026, so quite current as of early Feb. The site maintains a consistent snarky, curmudgeonly voice calling out perceived "peak stupidity" in politics/society. For full details, check the homepage or blogworks archive directly.

The latest posts on Peak Stupidity (peakstupidity.com), a long-running blog focused on political/cultural critique, "stupidity" in government, media, leftism, globalism, immigration, economics, and related topics—often from a libertarian/right-leaning, sarcastic, and anti-establishment perspective—appear active into early February 2026.
The blog features frequent short-to-medium entries (multiple per week), heavy on commentary, embedded quotes/links (e.g., from pundits, ZeroHedge-style sources), Trump-era policy takes, immigration enforcement praise/critique, anti-communist/anti-left rants, race/genetics observations, and occasional music or humor digressions.
From the blog's archive/recent listings (as of early Feb 2026), here are summaries of some of the most recent posts (reverse chronological, focusing on the very latest visible):
(If ICE saves just ONE child...) (Feb 2, 2026) — Touches on immigration enforcement, child protection rhetoric (possibly sarcastic take on pro-deportation arguments), critiquing globalists, media coverage, federal government overreach, and ctrl-left opposition.
(Peter Brimelow on Tucker Carlson) (Jan 31, 2026) — Discusses immigration commentator Peter Brimelow's appearance/discussion on Tucker Carlson, likely praising restrictionist views; tags include immigration, history, pundits, and websites.
(MOAR Thematic Maps!) (Jan 31, 2026) — Shares/analyzes additional maps (thematic, possibly related to Kung Flu/COVID data, voting, demographics, or stupidity indicators); lighthearted or mocking tone on data visualization.
(Remembering Justine Diamond, murdered by a Somalian Minneapolis Cop) (Jan 30, 2026) — Memorial/reflection on the 2017 Justine Damond shooting by Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor (Somali background); ties into ongoing critiques of immigration, race/genetics, police state, and "Commies."
(Tampon production: 3 things you need to know) (Jan 28, 2026) — Likely satirical or critical piece on female-related topics/science/stupidity, perhaps mocking aspects of gender/product debates or manufacturing.
Other very recent ones (mid-to-late Jan 2026) include:
(Globalization has Failed) (Jan 27) — Argues against globalism, linking to climate stupidity, Trump policies, economics.
(Too Kold for your average Kommie) (Jan 26) — Cold weather mocking leftists/commies on climate change hypocrisy, Trump, religion.
(Trump-47 Report Card: One year into Job #1) (Jan 20) — Evaluates Trump's second term start (inauguration anniversary), focusing on immigration wins and other agenda items.
(Why call them Commies?) (Jan 9) — Defends/ explains labeling Antifa/protesters/leftists as communists, citing tactics like resentment, anti-police/anti-enforcement stances, chemical sprays on them as satisfying.
Overall recent themes: Heavy emphasis on Trump's 2025-2026 actions (deportations, withdrawing from international orgs like UN, foreign policy like Venezuela/China/Monroe Doctrine references), anti-immigration enforcement support (esp. Somali/Minneapolis crime angles), mocking left/commie hypocrisy (cold weather, protests), economic warnings (debt, Yellen catching up), and occasional cultural asides (music like Grateful Dead obits, books/pundits).
Posts are dated up to at least Feb 2, 2026, so quite current as of early Feb. The site maintains a consistent snarky, curmudgeonly voice calling out perceived "peak stupidity" in politics/society. For full details, check the homepage or blogworks archive directly.

I have found the work of Curt Doolittle, a political philosopher active today, to be highly useful.
He uses the acronym "GSRM" (Gossiping, Shaming, Rallying, Ridicule, Moralizing, Psychologizing, Undermining, Reputation destruction, and solving for Face or consent) to refer to the "female competitive strategy."
https://web.archive.org/web/20200706132828/https://propertarianism.com/2019/02/23/definition-gsrm-or-gsrrm/
In another commentary, he says that women's instincts are to pursue hyperconsumption, attention-seeking, and responsibility evasion. "In the absence of offspring this becomes what we see as female selfishness and anti-sociality, and in numbers, anti-civilizational warfare (feminism-woke)."

Mr. Mod. & Mr. Hail --- it's also Heather Mac Donald - -the two are in this thing together - Ms. Andrews even posts/writes about Ms. Mac Donald's findings.
I just want to make up a genealogy here: It seems like Jordan B.Peterson pointed the big picture out very clearly ca. 2015 ff (his famous interview with British TV-Anchor Cathy Newman January 2018). And he had been working on this topic decades earlier in Canada - but somehow got stuck and did not publish a book about it.
- - -Men - women differences in perception and action do exist and influence the public sphere and - not least - - social/political discourse. - This was a MAJOR step in analyzing our political discourse because the factors Petereson pointed out - to a rather high degree - form this discourse and influences the outcomes. - Your immigration story being but one - quite fitting - example, Mod. and Mr. Hail's hint at the differences in news-reception between the sexes is an important piece in this overall puzzle. In this context: Women are much more prone thn men ot mix up good news presentation (good pronunciation, continuity!!!, nice wording...) - with good news - -
PS
Think of our discussions about the two novels - amongst others! in th ePS-book-club:
The Lady of the Forest (harsh Pacific Norh-West) - - and somehow related - - Ed King (Silly-Con-Valley/ Silicon Valley)) too - - both by the very good writer David Guterson.
They both deal with the - not least spiritual - "lay of the (western - DEI-infested) land" and provide deep insights which align with those of Petereson/Andrews/ Mc Donald.

PS: SafeNow, everyone lauds that show. I think I’ve only seen 10 minutes of it a couple of times when someone had it on the TV. I don’t normally shun actors due to their political views, so it’s not about Charley Sheen* either. Your scene was funny, as was John Lovitt generally.
Maybe I should binge-watch “2 1/2 Men” some time.
* Ha, I was confusing him with Sean Penn! OK, well either of them - all the actors seem to be lefties, but if the show is not political with too obvious of an agenda…

PS: Thanks, Mr. Hail, for the story on these Ecuadorian “refugees”, I liked your Punxsutawney Phil bit. Groundhog Day, I guess due to the popular movie, has become more like a concept than any day of fun.
“One of the most remarkable Male-Female measurable gaps that exists is the News Quiz gap. In every study, men score above women by a standard deviation or so on news quiz scores. Ten or twelve questions on recent news items. (A harder question might be: "What is the name of the country where the World Economic Forum was held last week?") Women score so poorly on the News Quiz because they DON'T CARE about facts. To them, the "news" it the image of the 5-year-old Hispanic boy, or other emotional trivialities.”
Unfortunately, that is the case. It wouldn’t be unfortunate if we kept them out of politics, voting and holding office higher than school principal (not even so sure about tha latter).
Yes, Helen Andrews has been on the money - she had a lot of good things to say about Steve Sailer in an article way back.

Here is a short clip from the superb “2 1/2 Men” comedy show, starring Charlie Sheen. Charley is a highly paid jingle writer; breakfast cereals and similar products. This scene takes place at the annual awards ceremony for the best sell-something jingle. Charlie is highly successful; how can he lose? It really gets going at the 40-second mark:

(No edit button; I should've said Helen Andrews is attacking "women's influence on political life and institutions." The kind of influence referred to is fine if it's dealing with corralling kindergarteners or some social equivalent.)

"it's amazing that the emotional news journalists that deign to care about... things ... haven't been all over this story"
___________
Why did the story of "Liam Conejo Ramos" become top national news? That's the 5-year-old Mestizo child son of a deportable illegal. The father, from Ecuador, illegally entered in 2024 under the Biden-Mayorkas Dispensation and applied for "Asylum" without any grounds.
(BTW, ths 2021-2024 Biden peripd was not so different from earlier eras; worse, true, but the system was on the same "order of magnitude" and functioned in a similar way; versions of this had happened for decades, versions of this Ecuadorian fraudulent "asylum seeker" have been milking the US system for the entire lifetimes of most of those reading this (the respected elders among us such as Mr SafeNow and Mr Blanc excluded).
The Biden government registered these illegals in December 2024. (And, I assume, said: "Come back in 2036, or 2037 if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow"). In the mean time, they shipped the family to a sanctuary city in Minnesota.
Yes, the swift rejection of fraudulent asylum application made them them among the lower-hanging-fruit illegals possible, just above the "convicted criminals." It should be business as usual, and would be in almost any country except the US and a few other White countries.
The story was of the 5-year-old detained and supposedly held alone. As usual there was more to the story. But the producers, disseminators, AND (crucially) consumers of such stories don't care! They enjoy the emotional outrage, they enjoy looking at a cute mestizo boy in a winter cap shaped like a bunny-rabbit (his middle name also means bunny-rabbit in Spanish).

That's what driving "immigration policy," in part. It's non-rational, emotional, driven by people who "don't know, and don't care" (women -- who, in aggregate, score a standard deviation on current-affairs awareness than men).
Mr Kief likes pointing to Helen Andrews. She herself is sort of a feminist but is, these days, getting a lot of traction by attacking feminism or even leaning towards attacking women per se, and their influence.

PS: Did you read this latest article of his, Mr. Hail. He's buying the ctrl-left propaganda completely. Then, go to his comments or just do a ctrl-f for "Palo Alto". This guy doesn't care about the rest of us one bit. This is the first time I've let that sink in.
Yes, I'm familiar with Mr. Yglesias from Steve Sailer's writing, including the former's call for One Billion Americans. He's an idiot. Ron Unz is not an idiot, but he's a sucker and he's obviously very selfish in this respect. Once astute commenter used the term NIMBY. Not In My Back Yard.

"Unz's hyperbole here has been unmatched by anything I've read from him previously. He has really exposed himself lately as a pro-Immigration-Invasion Trump hater."
_________
I can see the anti-Trump part but I haven't seen a smoking gun that Unz has become a pro-immigration ideologue.
By pro-immigration ideologue I mean along the lines of Steve Sailer's frenemy, Matthew Joskow Yglesias. That man is a sometimes-critic of liberal pieties but is really at core a Woke ideologue. His wrote a treatise some years ago titled "One Billion Americans," urging the abolition of ICE and urging a vast expansion of immigrant visas (into the USA, that is, not Israel; although who knows with the open space coming Kushner-Trump Gaza Riviera).
