(Catch a wave. Catch a wave!)
Little surfer, little one,
made my heart come all undone.
Do you love me, do you, surfer girl?
Surfer girl, my little surfer girl.
The airlines have these posters inside the jet bridges. The marketing folks want to advertise destinations, that credit card, or the comfort of 1st Class, for next time I guess, or they want you to see how happy the other passengers seem with the service. Or, yeah, they want to push an agenda. Peak Stupidity previously posted about Jet Bridge Carol, who just brought back some memories without much of an agenda I could detect... and, nice hair.
This one, yes, is wokeness on display. Why does Big Business do this? Under the Crony Capitalism we've got here, you've got to play along - that's my speculation. If you take the money from The Man, then you jump when he says so. (Remember all that money doled out to the airlines 6 years ago?) Why are they still like this, with Trump & Co. pushing back against this, for a rare change? I don't think these Big Biz type's feel they have to answer to him particularly - he is seen as an anomaly.
Anyway, what IS the deal with the little Moslem surfer girl in the poster? I get one of two not-particularly-good vibes out of this:
1) The marketing people want to show that we are all the same - surfing is not just for White men and some White women in skimpy bikinis. It's for everyone, even Moslem chicks named Ayesha. That's a lie, but, whaddya' gonna do? The poster's right there.
2) There is some new destination this airline now goes to with beautiful beaches and some gnarly waves, dude! Except you don't have to be a dude. Or, maybe, if you are, you might score there with some exotic woman named Ayesha. You probably won't, because the girls and dudes are segregated in Moslem society and, even then, wearing outfits that are not at all like this wetsuit that shows all.
I just don't get an honest "Surf's up!", Beach Boys, good vibration from this woke jet bridge poster. She's not that little surfer girl I imagine when listening to the song.
I get more of a Colonel Kilgore vibe instead. I can look 10 - 20 years ahead and imagine some Western Marine Corps having to make landings on the beaches in France... no, not on the Normandy coast on the Atlantic this time, but on the Mediterranean shoreline, to attempt to take the country back from the Moslem invaders yet again. Maybe it'll be the same place where the Camp of the Saints boats first came in... Colonel Jean Raspail, III comes in low over the water, blasting out Qui saubes dar tant bon conseil denan and other Crusades music* out of his Air Cavalry division 75 y/o UH-1.
"If I say it's safe to surf this beach, it's safe to surf this beach!"
"It's pretty hairy in there, Colonel! That's Mo's point."
"Mo don't surf!"
Though the Beach Boys' Surfer Girl is appropriate for this post, it's not that good of a song. I like Brian Wilson's falsetto singing, but the melody isn't anything special. The lyrics, not that important anyway, are kind of lame. So, here's is a better surf song. I did apply for an artistic license, in case readers wonder about the bogus Geography.
If everybody had an ocean
Across the U.A.E.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like folks in Tennessee.
You'd see them wearing their baggies
down at the camel Grand Prix
A bulky bulky brown hijab,
Surfin' U.A.E.
You'd catch 'em surfin' at Dearborn
(Inside, outside, U.A.E.)
Ventura County line
(Inside, outside, U.A.E.)
Santa Cruz and Trestles
(Inside, outside, U.A.E.)
Australia's Narrabeen
(Inside, outside, U.A.E.)
All over Manhattan
(Inside, outside, U.A.E.)
And down Doheny Way
(Inside, outside)
Everybody's gone surfin'.
Surfin' U.A.E.
We'll all be planning on a room
we're gonna take real soon.
We're waxing down our surfboards.
We can't wait for June.
We'll all be gone for the hodge fest.
A pilgrimage to the sea.
Tell the iman we're surfin'
Surfin' U.A.E.
Swaddling Burkas and Swarma
(Inside, outside, U.A.E.)
Pacific Palisades
(Inside, outside, U.A.E.)
San Onofre and Sunset
(Inside, outside, U.A.E.)
Redondo Beach LA
(Inside, outside, U.A.E.)
All over La Jolla
(Inside, outside, U.A.E.)
The Medit'ranian Sea
(Inside, outside)
Everybody's gone surfin'.
Surfin' U.A.E.
My chronic Lyricosis is something else. Until today, I'd though it was "Everybody had a notion..." How would one know, back before the internet? Until I went to California, I wouldn't have been able to name half those places in the song, and what was a "Sananofrian sunset", and what about "way down the beach, LA", "and the Caribbean", and "All over the harbor" that Mike Love was on about?
Full Disclosure: Peak Stupidity bloggers don't surf either. I have a hard enough time on a boogie board - just don't get that catching a wave thing yet. OTOH, only Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys surfed, and he was the one who drowned. (Alcohol was involved but not surfing.)

Battle of the Climate: Gore v Spock and the coming Ice Age
Posted On: Friday - May 1st 2026 12:29PM MST
In Topics: Humor Global Climate Stupidity
For some background on the first of our combatants today, the humanoid known as the AlGore, the reader will find material in the posts Epic AlGore Climate Calamity™ Rant: Heating up the Atmosphere with A-Bombs - - Epic AlGore Climate Calamity™ Rant: Boiling the Oceans with A-Bombs and AlGore and the Calamity Doomers: The Point of Know Return from 3 years back.
In those first two posts we did some fun calculations to rebut the stupidity of the former Vice President, become Climate know-it-all (he took one class from this one guy in college). The third one had a point that cannot be emphasized enough. We've been told so many times that if we do not save The Planet™ by year N, it's gonna be too late! Year N has passed for many of these predictions, so why don't we just call it? Just get a Climate Coroner, mark The Planet down as dead, and let's get on with our lives.
Next, let us re-introduce Mr. Spock, aka Leonard Nimoy, former Science Officer of the Starfleet Cruiser* Enterprise. With those qualifications, we like to think of him as "America's Science Officer". If a guy who is not a scientist of any sort but still, DOES play one on TV, has something to say about the climate of the whole World, well, I'm here to tell you, people listen.
This still image is from our post linked-to just above, in which we showed two videos, one from Mr. Spock/Nimoy, warning Americans of an Ice Age coming, because the mid-late 1970s had some cold-assed winters. Singer Jimmy Buffett agreed with Mr. Nimoy - on Please Don't Say Manana (if you don't mean it) from his** Son of a Son of a Sailor album - about Buffalo, New York. Mr. Nimoy looks pretty cold in that picture, but keep in mind, coming from the Planet Vulcan and all, any other planet may seem chilly in comparison ... his ears look normal, yes, but that's due to minor surgery after his bout of frostbite up in Buffalo.
Back to the AlGore, as many predictions of his predictions have been proven wrong way past those point-of-know-return deadlines, he has still been a great Climate Calamity stalwart. He has spent a lot of effort, time, and money (some of the Jet-A bills even his own), and inconvenience to teach people the Inconvenient Truth that the Planet has a fever. Dr. Gore has been there to provide the 2 aspirin and listen to its ocean waves in the morning.
What exactly IS his field?
Now, though, "I dunno,...", as ZeroHedge reports that Al Gore Shifts On Global Warming: Time To Watch Out For A New Ice Age?. No, wait, it's not what you think. Dr. Gore has not been wrong in his diagnosis. An Ice Age may be imminent BECAUSE the planet has been warming! See?! No? Well, look:
Former Vice President Al Gore warned a Hollywood audience this week that a "Gulf Stream collapse" could occur within 25 years, leading to an abrupt and devastating new Ice Age.Oh, man, an actor from The West Wing. He's just gotta know a lot about fluid mechanics and thermodynamics!
Mr. Gore, now 78, appeared at the inaugural Sustainability in Entertainment Honors event, co-hosted by The Hollywood Reporter and the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance at Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles. He participated in a keynote conversation with actor Bradley Whitford of “The West Wing,” timed to the 20th anniversary of “An Inconvenient Truth.”
Gore invoked the scenario depicted in the 2004 disaster film “The Day After Tomorrow”, saying a shutdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, commonly called the Gulf Stream, is “a very real threat within the next 25 years.”
“That movie that I mentioned, ‘The Day After’ about the Gulf Stream shutting down, well, this morning in one of the English newspapers is a whole big article summarizing the recent dire warnings of the scientists who found yet more confirmatory information..."
No matter if there were something to this, if these processes were known well enough to have predicted this, why has the population of the world been told that the "Earth has a fever!", "It's Global Boiling now!", or even just calmly that, "you're not gonna like your at the maximum from our models 2C warmer climate 20 years from now"? (It's not like people move down to Florida for the warmer weather. It's for Governor DeSantis, I'd always assumed... ) Why haven't these experts told us that in the medium run, only 25 years from now, the world will be getting a lot colder?! They coulda' warned us of that, at least, right?
I think the problem for these Climate Doomsayers is that people are getting wise to the worthlessness of their alleged "working" mathematical models. Dire predictions have come and gone, yet, the weather is... bad some days, good other days... generally the same-old same-old. Then worse yet, dirty rat Donald Trump had to come along and call the whole thing "the greatest con-job ever perpetrated on the world".*** How can a guy with absolutely no scientific backg...OK, wait...
At this point, the alarmists are pivoting. I think they could have been more creative, to be honest, something about the core of the earth, maybe it's hollow, so stop drilling for oil, maybe we're affecting the sun itself in a deadly feedback loop, pissing off the aliens... something... No, it sounds like this one man known, or should I say, notorious, for his predictions is going back to the 1970s Global Cooling theme.
No, Spock, see, it's that Vulcan mind of yours again! You're not human, so you just don't undestand! This is not Vulcan. Here we have Globalists and Communists.with real, evil, feelings that you wouldn't know about. They are not worried about the planet, Mr. Spock - these are people who want to destroy SOCIETY on this planet. That is THEIR Prime Directive.
I don't know. He was full of it in the 1970s, but, Spock's cold Vulcan logic beats all hell out of the nonsense out of the humans we got here in the future.
Haha, from the end of that post of ours about "America's Science Officer":
I don't know who to believe anymore about the future of the planet, a former Star Fleet Science Officer or a teenage Swedish girl. If it's still acceptable in this day and age, I would really like to see Spock v Greta.Greta's moved on. So has Leonard Nimoy, in a different way, and is not here to say "I told you so". Al Gore has changed his story, but he hasn't moved on and he will still not leave us alone.
"How dare you speak about logic and blah, blah, blaaaahh... "[Permanent Vulcan Nerve Pinch]
* It's not a cruiser? OK, I warned you people, no geeks.
** By "his", I mean Mr. Buffett's. You really don't want to hear any Leonard Nimoy songs.

Start/Stop Tech Stupidity Update
Posted On: Thursday - April 30th 2026 1:03PM MST
In Topics: Humor Cars Artificial Stupidity US Feral Government
Long-term Peak Stupidity readers will have gathered by now that your lead blogger is no early adopter of "TECH"... and a lot of other non-software technology. We write about cars here quite often, and it's the same story there - never bought a new car, don't WANT a new car, don't want any newer stuff than is in the old cars, and they can't MAKE ME adopt, barring passage of the Motor Law.
We give the Trump administration credit where due, for things big and small. A very small thing I do appreciate was EPA Chief Lee Zeldin's move to stop the Feral Gov't from pushing hard the automakers to incorporate the Start/Stop system in new vehicles. Last summer we posted Good news regarding auto artificial stupidity. The touted savings of 5% in gas during city driving from this engine-off-at-stops "feature" is surely lost by the consumer in money spent on maintenance due to the increased complexity.
We had some good car talk in the comments* thereunder. Alarmist noted the battery drain during those engine-off times. I talked about the starters, but I don't think anyone happened to mention just the work on the battery doing so many starts, a lot of current draw each time. There are the safety worries too.
Anyway, the news was good. Besides that you could always disable these, at least on many cars, assuming Trump & Co. followed through, we may see less of this.
Now, let me get to an actual vehicle, the model of which I'm not quite sure of, but one of those huge SUVs. The old lady customer of my car mechanic friend wanted a general check-up on the fluids, belt, and so forth on this '22 monster her son had bought her.
There were codes. How can you NOT have codes claiming this or that problem in modern cars with thousands of sensors and hundreds of computers that are supposed to be working together? I imagine if every little problem could not be worked around, everyone would be like me, never buying a new car again. America would be the new Cuba, but with muted colors. Therefore, there is "limp mode" and such. The vehicle works around the electronically broken systems to get one
For this SUV, it turned out that there is an auxiliary smaller battery running some systems. After lots of work with the scan tool, my mechanic friend came to the conclusion that this small battery was bad, causing the minor problems he'd found. Along with others, one of these minor problems was with the start/stop system, so it was inactivated by the car. Crisis, what crisis? This mechanic had to replace that battery, clear the codes, and get this thing running, as the lady had come from far away to pick up the car that day.
His customer called him from 2 miles away on the way home. OMG, the vehicle is broken now. It shut down at the stop light! "Uhh, yeah, your vehicle has this start/stop system", he explained to her. Haha, she was advanced in age and had forgotten this
* I see that car guy Adam Smith was AWOL under that post. He must have been under a hood somewhere.

Somalian Roman Innumeracy Fail: Revisiting Ignorant Ilhan Omar
Posted On: Tuesday - April 28th 2026 4:32PM MST
In Topics: General Stupidity Immigration Stupidity Lefty MegaStupidity Humor US Feral Government Female Stupidity
Peak Stupidity has not ever had a thing good to say about the treasonous piece of work that calls herself a US Congressman (D-So, errr, MN), Ilhan Omar. We support a few of the actual Americans in Congress, that is, the few patriotic Americans. For a comparison, see MTG v IOU. (IOU is Ilhan Omar, Undocumented.)
It doesn't help the Moslem "Somali girl", as she calls herself in front of her ACTUAL constituents, that I keep seeing articles about her griftful shenanigans and treasonous behavior on ZeroHedge (with the most entertaining of comments!) and the Gateway Pundit. Just a couple of tabs I'd left up have the posts Ilhan Omar’s California Winery LLC Dissolved Just 9 Days After She Scrubbed Millions from Her Financial Disclosures and FLASHBACK: Resurfaced 2013 Mugshot Shows Radical Rep. Ilhan Omar Arrested and Booked Into Jail for Misdemeanor Trespassing.
The former post is about the private finances of IOU and her latest husband. They got very rich over the course of a year or two, but I suppose that's private... and, they all do it. However, they went ahead and dumped the accounts down to reasonably acceptable numbers recently. (The rest is in cash, and you CAN'T GET IT.)
The second post is more of an example of treasonous behavior rather than just mere multi-dozen-million dollar Moslem style corruption. "Oh, wait", you say. Omar was politically active over a dozen years ago? THAT'S just the American spirit. Did she protest American involvement in foreign wars without Congressional approval? Did she protest unConstitutional use of taxpayer money for Socialist Learing Centers and such? I have not read of this in that one column in the end of the John Birch Society New American magazines.
No, it wasn't that sort of thing. See, Omar is on the side of one of the clans in some Somalian civil war that Americans rightly ought neither have to care about nor know about. In fact her father, one Nur Omar Mohamed, was big into it as a Colonel in the army, so they had to get out with young Omar over to America as refugees. Her asylum claim hopefully has a clause in which she can still send money and visit, albeit with only 3 checked bags allowed - nor more than 11 pound of ammo and no more than 50 lb in Federal Reserve Notes allowed per bag... by her friends working for the TSA in MSP. In that 2nd GP post, one can read that Omar raised hell and got arrested back in '13:
Before her rise to Congress, Omar was arrested in Minneapolis following a disturbance at the upscale Hotel Ivy during a visit by Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud.She likes harassing Presidents, which has been something of an American tradition, all right, but, no, AMERICAN PRESIDENTS, not some visiting ragheads that none of the rest of us care about.
According to reports, Omar and a group of activists followed the president’s motorcade into the hotel lobby and refused repeated orders from police to leave the premises.
The incident took place on January 18, 2013 following an event at the Minneapolis Convention Center featuring former Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. The Somali president was set to stay the night at the Hotel Ivy, causing large groups of Somalis to follow the presidential convoy to the hotel, including Omar.
AlphaNews includes a copy of the police report with their story. Omar and others protested Mohamud’s appearance and were ejected from the hotel, en masse. She and a handful of other protesters snuck back into the hotel,
Ten minutes after the original encounter, the officer reports finding Omar seated in a different area of the lobby. According to the officer’s account, Omar “remained defiant” as he informed her that she would be arrested for trespassing if she didn’t leave.
She was taken by the police to Hennepin County Jail to prevent further harassment of the President.
Well, that was not supposed to be the post here, so we'll get to the latest unearthed revelation about IOU. She's an ignorant slut. Well, the "slut" part is arguable, between her various husbands and brothers. This old video, recently gone viral - retro-viral, that'd be - does show not just extreme ignorance, but the kind of ignorance one could only see from a strange foreigner with no connection to America. (Did I mention she's one of the 454 people in Congress supposedly representing 350,000,000 Americans? That's 1 in 3/4 million.)
What, was that just a simple brain fart, reading the notes too quickly, a little gaffe? I don't see how. How were her notes written out? It was either "WWII" or "World War II" - obviously not "World War Two". Here's where I'll bring up Peak Stupidity's old humorous post speculating on arithmetical operations done (somehow!) with Roman Numerals during the days of that empire, Roman Innumeracy. Well, IOU didn't have to do any arithmetic, probably not a thing for a "Somali girl" anyway. She just had to read what she may or may not have known WAS a Roman Numeral. So, it sure could have looked like the number eleven, right, for a Somalian whose culture had squat all to do this the Romans and their old numerals. Stupid mistake?
No, that's where this little humorous episode shows a serious deeper problem from the immigration stupidity. We have a woman who came here at 9 years of age and was 29 y/o at the time of this video. (It's touted to be from 13 years back.) So she supposedly got in at least 7 years of government schooling, then 4 years getting a BS degree at North Dakota State (in Fargo), and she was 29, yet she didn't know enough American history to know there was even a World War II. It had to take a few stooopid Minnesoootans, don'tcha' know, to vote along with the smaller at the time contingent of Somalians, for something so ignorant to represent them.
You're just a politician, and you're busy, so you read notes. However, if you had formed the word “eleven” in your head such that you spouted it out your mouth, then your brain had no idea there was no World War Eleven, hence you are extremely ignorant.
INVOKE THE ALIEN ENEMIES ACT OF...
.. when was it, again? 1798, that's right. AND HORSEWHIPS!
PS: Wiki notes a first:
Following Omar's election, the ban on head coverings in the U.S. House was modified, and Omar became the first woman to wear a hijab on the House floor.Well, isn't that special! Well, we're just waiting for the first man to carry a horse whip on the floor of US Congress to clean House (and Senate).
PPS: I really HATE the way this woman talks too.

Caltech Cole Allen and his letter home
Posted On: Monday - April 27th 2026 2:09PM MST
In Topics: General Stupidity University Trump Race/Genetics ctrl-left Anti-Social Media
On The Unz Review here, E.H. Hail inserted what he accurately calls Trump's 2nd* Attempted Assassinator's "light-hearted goodbye letter". Yes, it was hardly a manifesto as we think of one (or trannifesto, something more and more common these days), calling out all the ills of the world and taking up 5 pages in the NY Times.
Mr. Cole, now still in perfectly good health, had written in the middle of this goodbye letter that he didn't expect to be able to talk to the people (family/friends, I guess) he appreciates ever again, "(unless the Secret Service is astoundingly incompetent.)" [His italics.] Yeah, I guess that's another thing that didn't get fixed since Summer of '24. Can we not blame D.I.E. anymore? Who knows? It depends on who's in charge of the SS, and D.I.E. rot can go deep.
The discussion on the UR iSteve Community thread has delved into this guy's background as a student at the well-known tech titan of a school, Caltech, in Pasadena, California. Mr. Hail had more discussion of the massive change in demographics there. In its time, this place was known to accept on the very best of the best of the bright engineering/science geeks, and in fairly small numbers. Was 1/2 black Cole Allen a D.I.E. admission? You've pretty much got to assume so, and I would have written that before the fact too. I'm sure I've explained why it has to be like this before, but the reader couldn't go wrong checking out our 4 y/o 5-part series Harvesting the fruits of a half-century of Affirmative Action: Part 1 - - Part 2 - - Part 3 - -Part 4 and Part 5.
From his assumed goodbye letter, I can see that Mr. Allen is no dummy. His letter is simple and accessible, and it makes sense at least. Rather than spend pages getting deep into a pie-in-the-sky theory of what is wrong with the country that he will fix this day, he spent most of the time thinking about how his family and friend, and even people at the very Correspondents' Dinner itself will fare after he starts firing away. It's pretty well-written, and also, as Mr. Hail noted, light-hearted, for a guy assuming he will be shot dead (YES, barring astounding Secret Service incompetence) within a few minutes. It's also very detail-oriented engineer-like to note the specific problem with security near the end, as if they are "action items" to be dealt with. (The starting of 3 of his points with "Like, " is annoying - if anything that's the real reason he should do some serious time.)
Here's the
*****************************************
Hello everybody!
So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused.
I apologize to my parents for saying I had an interview without specifying it was for “Most Wanted.”
I apologize to my colleagues and students for saying I had a personal emergency (by the time anyone reads this, I probably most certainly DO need to go to the ER, but can hardly call that not a self-inflicted status.)
I apologize to all of the people I traveled next to, all the workers who handled my luggage, and all the other non-targeted people at the hotel who I put in danger simply by being near.
I apologize to everyone who was abused and/or murdered before this, to all those who suffered before I was able to attempt this, to all who may still suffer after, regardless of my success or failure.
I don’t expect forgiveness, but if I could have seen any other way to get this close, I would have taken it. Again, my sincere apologies.
On to why I did any of this:
I am a citizen of the United States of America.
What my representatives do reflects on me.
And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.
(Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity I’ve had to do something about it.)
While I’m discussing this, I’ll also go over my expected rules of engagement (probably in a terrible format, but I’m not military so too bad.)
Follow The Post’s live updates on the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner
Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest
Secret Service: they are targets only if necessary, and to be incapacitated non-lethally if possible (aka, I hope they’re wearing body armor because center mass with shotguns messes up people who *aren’t*
Hotel Security: not targets if at all possible (aka unless they shoot at me)
Capitol Police: same as Hotel Security
National Guard: same as Hotel Security
Hotel Employees: not targets at all
Guests: not targets at all
In order to minimize casualties I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls)
I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people *chose* to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesn’t come to that.’
_______
Rebuttals to objections:
Objection 1: As a Christian, you should turn the other cheek.
Rebuttal: Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial. I’m not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration.
Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes.
—
Objection 2: This is not a convenient time for you to do this.
Rebuttal: I need whoever thinks this way to take a couple minutes and realize that the world isn’t about them. Do you think that when I see someone raped or murdered or abused, I should walk on by because it would be “inconvenient” for people who aren’t the victim?
This was the best timing and chance of success I could come up with.
—
Objection 3: You didn’t get them all.
Rebuttal: Gotta start somewhere.
—
Objection 4: As a half-black, half-white person, you shouldn’t be the one doing this.
Rebuttal: I don’t see anyone else picking up the slack
—
Objection 5: Yield unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.
Rebuttal: The United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered.
__________
I would also like to extend my appreciation to a great many people since I will not be likely to be able to talk with them again (unless the Secret Service is astoundingly incompetent.)
Thank you to my family, both personal and church, for your love over these 31 years.
Thank you to my friends, for your companionship over many years.
Thank you to my colleagues over many jobs, for your positivity and professionalism.
Thank you to my students for your enthusiasm and love of learning.
Thank you to the many acquaintances I’ve met, in person and online, for short interactions and long-term relationships, for your perspectives and inspiration.
Thank you all for everything.
Sincerely,
Cole “coldForce” “Friendly Federal Assassin” Allen

PS: Ok now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the hell is the Secret Service doing? Sorry, gonna rant a bit here and drop the formal tone.
Like, I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo.
What I got (who knows, maybe they’re pranking me!) is nothing.
No damn security.
Not in transport.
Not in the hotel.
Not in the event.
Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance.
I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.
The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.
Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again.
Like, if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed shit.
Actually insane.
Oh and if anyone is curious is how doing something like feels: it’s awful. I want to throw up; I want to cry for all the things I wanted to do and never will, for all the people whose trust this betrays; I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done.
Can’t really recommend it! Stay in school, kids.
*****************************************
I can see from the arc of his life that Mr. Allen did have a better time in school. It seems like things went only downhill from there, well before he walked toward the black-tie dinner with his gun yesterday.
I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial. I’m not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration.The first example is about illegal aliens being deported, I assume. The second is about the boats being blown up in international waters - I don't disagree in principle. The third one is about Iran or Gaza. The "teenage girl" part is about Epstein.
Let me make a quick odd digression here about a university student/friend who is the only guy I knowingly know who attended Caltech. He had just told me and my friend he'd been admitted to grad school there as we sat outside our university building. As he was bringing in his bicycle, we talked about this light racing bike, and he noted how even the higher pressure in those tires added significant weight. Me and my friend looked at each other. Uh, nah, as he went inside me and my friend realized that this guy might have his head in the right clouds, but he was not so… common-sensical.
Let me just do it now, without looking anything up. Because I still remember that the density of air is roughly 1/1000 of water, and that water weighs 62 lb/ft
I can safely assume that our White friend was a brighter guy, but I'll make the assumption that Cole Allen was at least something of a geek. He's 31 years old, but I don't think he has the common sense it takes to see the forest for the trees. Cole Allen is just one example to show us that geekiness and common-sense do not go hand-in-hand. Then, most people with common sense do already know this.
Yes, Trump is doing a lot of harm with this Iran war. I hate that he started it, and I hope he finds a way to stop it. That's not just on behalf of Iranians, who generally don't deserve this, but on behalf of Americans, who are losing out on the ONE GUY who has been making headway in Job #1 due to his distractedness and loss of political capital. As for Venezuelan "boaters" on the high seas, principles would say this is wrong, but they ARE probably drug runners. So many US Constitutional principles have been violated on a regular basis in my lifetime, that this is small potatoes.
Epstein? Really? As I've written here before, IT'S NOT ABOUT THE GIRLS! It's about the blackmail. If Mr. Allen had some knowledge we don't have about, say, Epstein Island blackmail is related to Trump's waging war on Iran, well, come out and say it! Barring astounding incompetence by the SS, you'll be dead anyway shortly, right?
This could be called "what-aboutism", but it's not like there haven't been more extra-judicial assassinations and wars wages by other Presidents since (generally) the end of the Cold War (marking the beginning of America's status of "Sole Superpower"). Bai Dien was the guy who received $millions through his son for working for one group of Ukrainians and was prone to blackmail by the Chinese for his son's other activities with underage girls inside the now other competing superpower. Bill Clinton started wars and his alleged wife started others as Secretary of State under Obama. With the Bushes, it was the same story.
Lastly, but out of order here, if you are a sucker for the sob stories about the illegal aliens, most of them deported so far being just the violent ones who've raped and killed, themselves, you've been a sucker for the Legacy Media.
If you really want to get down to it, go get the Globalists who are really in charge. Maybe security at Bilderberg, the WEF all-hands meetings, and what was that poorly publicized meeting they just had in the US, is not so astoundingly competent either.
Very bright people often lack common sense and the big picture. Some, say the Uni-Bomber Ted Kaczynski, do (did) really get into the big picture, seeing far ahead the problems with the scary new technology coming. He wrote a long manifesto, not a goodbye letter (he might not have ever been ID'd but for his brother). What was his bright solution? Sending letter bombs that blew off fingers of recipients, intended- or non-intended, at various universities.
Ted Kaczynski was around before the anti-Social Media, the very type of thing he was warning us about. Cole Allen, OTOH, in the modern world, sounds like he's been nothing but a sucker for the latest bitching by people on TikTok or Blue Sky. He does not see the big picture, and he doesn't have the common sense to see that killing President Trump would not solve the problems he sees.
On a lighter note, per Mr. Hail, our old commenter** Anti-Gnostic - on the Steve Sailer substack site - calls this wannabe assassin the International Man of Mystery Meat. Nicely done, AG!
* The guy found in the bushes with a rifle at the golf course Trump was playing in Florida, two months after the Butler, Pennsylvania attempt could easily be counted as #2. One way to count them is based on shots fired or weapons actually used. Perhaps there are some clarifying definitions somewhere.

Embryo Mix-Up at the Fertility Clinic
Posted On: Thursday - April 23rd 2026 4:36PM MST
In Topics: General Stupidity Race/Genetics Science Legal Stupidity
♫, ♩ Now warning lights are flashing down at Quality Control.
Somebody threw a spanner (that’s a wrench), he threw it in the hole… ♫, ♩
And the baby’s the first to know.
It was just a little mix-up. Those stickers always fall off. The Gateway Pundit reports Florida Couple Identifies Biological Parents of Their ‘Non-Caucasian’ Baby After Horrific IVF Embryo Mix-Up at Closing Clinic.
Tiffany Score and Steven Mills, both Caucasian, underwent IVF at the Fertility Center of Orlando in Longwood, Florida, in 2020. They created and stored three viable embryos.So far, so good. There IS something different about that year 2020 though… economies got purposefully trashed, and we’ve seen a lot more incompetence since…
In April of last year, one embryo was implanted in Score’s uterus.I wonder why they waited so long - that uncannily reminds me of the White couple in the intro to Idiocracy, waiting for the market to improve. Then, things took a turn for the worse.
On December 11, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl, whom they named Shea.
Immediately, the couple noticed Shea displayed the physical appearance of a racially non-Caucasian child.Ya’ think?? I hope that testing didn’t cost too much. From the picture, it looks like the baby was the first one to figure it out, as soon as she opened her eyes. “This is not my beautiful house. These are not my beautiful parents.” At some point, the parents might have also wondered, with those same David Byrne lyrics (not out loud, that’d be wrong, see?) “This is not our beautiful offspring. How did she get here?”
Genetic testing later confirmed that Shea has zero biological connection to Score or Mills.
DNA results showed she is 100%FIFT. And here, I’d thought those dots were genetic. At least, as much as you pay for two days in the maternity ward, you’d think red dot application would be gratis, along with the usual striped infant outfit.South AsianIndian, according to a report from NBC News.
On Wednesday, the couple announced through their attorneys that genetic testing has now definitively identified Shea’s biological parents,a South Asianan Indian couple whose identities they are keeping confidential out of respect for their privacy.
“The results of testing delivered to us today confirm that our baby’s genetic parents have been identified… This ends one chapter in our heartbreaking journey, but it raises new issues that will have to be resolved. In addition, questions about the disposition of our own embryos are still unanswered and are even more unlikely to ever be answered.”That’s especially the case now that this clinic is closing* down, due to their not wanting to pay out in a lawsuit.
Only one thing is as absolutely certain today as it was on the day our daughter was born — we will love and will be this child’s parents forever.”I don’t doubt that you can get attached. I’m guessing that’s mostly for the mother, as childbirth is hell for that reason. However, now that they are so very very attached, with intensely strong emotional bonds, why would they want this Indian baby to be (re-?)united with her genetic parents? This White couple already laid a lot of money down (that they ain’t getting back), plus intensely strong emotional bonds.
Their attorney, Jack Scarola, added that the couple has an “intensely strong emotional bond” with Shea and plans to raise her as their own while acknowledging she “should legally and morally be united with her genetic parents” if they are fit, able, and willing.
This White couple’s life got ruined by incompetence - the word “heartbreaking” was bandied about - but they’d probably be loath to put it that way, “ruined”. Yet they are suing. “What are the damages?” is what a civil defense lawyer might ask. Well, uhhh, it’s not like race is a thing, but it’s just, I dunno, we wanted, like, our own baby, because genetics and White like us.
Besides the “Florida Man”** (yes, and woman, and baby) aspect of this story - well, it’s not like that at all, it’s tragic for them - one does wonder if there could be ways to see this problem before it emerges. Can one detect racial features in ultrasounds, maybe 6 months along? Better yet, can one safely extract some DNA much earlier on? If so, then what? Peak Stupidity has a lot of questions, but no answers on that…
… besides, for this particular couple, if you are committed, as most decent couples are, for this little one’s future, I’d suggest perhaps investing now… in a 40 room hotel by the Interstate, or a couple of 7-11s. It’s never too early. That was kind of low, so I do wish the best for them. Perhaps the actual parents can be traced down.
* Note that same grammatical stupidity in the headline as we pointed out some posts ago. Embryo Mix-Up at Closing Clinic. No, silly (Cassandra MacDonald), this didn’t happen while the clinic was closing! The clinic is closing next month. When and where this happened, the embryo was obviously at an OPEN clinic!
** … and, I wonder of what race was the Florida man who screwed up this couple’s life by not being meticulous with the “chain of custody” of the vials that contain life itself.

Forever Woke stamps - The “Figures of the American Revolution”
Posted On: Wednesday - April 22nd 2026 6:11PM MST
In Topics: Political Correctness History Economics Race/Genetics Female Stupidity Inflation
There are lots of news items to write about - the truth coming out about $PLC scamming, a host of stories on the Trump Administration’s fight against the PRP, the Iran war that I’m too disgusted with to write about - so let’s get back to stamps today, shall we?
Going back 3 3/4 years and then a year before then, Peak Stupidity had a 3-part series on the “Forever” US postage stamps. Some of us still do mail bill payments, but I haven’t sent a real hand-written letter in the mail this century, AFAIR. Part 1 and Part 2 of the series were a thought experiment of sorts - though one can surely actually participate in postage-space - about these “Forever” stamps as a form of money, and, if not that, surely a hedge against inflation. From the intro. in Part 1:
it's been 15 years since the first ones, featuring the Liberty Bell, a shown above, were issued and sold.* 4 years later, in '11, all 1st-class stamps (as in made to send anything enclosed in an envelope weighing 1 oz or less) were issued as forever stamps.I neglected to really explain this well for younger Peak Stupidity readers. (The really young readers have no reason to give a damn.): Before the Forever Stamp concept, the postage value, in cents, was marked on the stamps. When the 1st Class postage* went from, say, 15¢ to 18¢, if you still had some 15¢ stamps left, in order to use them, you would have to stick on three 1¢ stamps with them or one 1¢ stamp and one 2¢. As with coins, they had enough denominations to cover most situations. (Occasionally, your stamps might take up half the envelope though!).
I have a dim memory of 1st-class postage stamps going up into the double digit cents. The rise of stamp prices was pretty steady over the last half-century. (I'll have to find or make a graph another time.) The forever stamps came out at the time this postage went from 39¢ to 41¢. The year 2007 was near the end of the time that my instinct tells me was a period of the lowest price inflation in my lifetime anyway.. (This is something discussed 4 years ago in the Peak Stupidity post Inflation and Chinese Imports and Exports.) Having dealt with inflation the rest of my life, though, I was gung-ho for these stamps. Why not stock up on them, as long as I don't forget where I put them?
Once you ran out of the old, you bought the new ones, then a year, maybe five years later, it happened again. The Forever Stamps, covering 1st Class postage, did away with all that mess and had another benefit of being that inflation hedge, if you didn’t lose them.
Next, in Forever and ever stamps - Part 3: Racial profiling and the Mighty Mississippi , I got into the Political Correctness, now Wokeness, of the stamps being issued. Note the sheet of stamps up top. For the very same usual reasons, I bought 5 sheets of the new Declaration of Independence stamps, actually Figures** of the American Revolution, and these sheets have 25 sheets on them rather than the usual 20. That’s 125 @ $0.78 = $93.75, plus whatever it was I came there to mail… oh yeah, my taxes, so this was right at a week ago.
I didn’t take a deep look at the stamps, but I did notice “Hey, some White men on the stamps this time! What a relief.” “I’ll take 5!” I didn’t have to choose puppies or Nancy Reagan again, though I did like the Mississippi stamps and the astronomy ones.
Upon a closer look in the sunshine, I wondered who are these women here and the dude with a Mohawk. I didn’t know that hair style had been around so long. OK, he’s a balding guy who had made a valid effort at a Mohawk… or, he’s a Mohawk.
Here’s what we have in our collection of 25 Figures** of the American Revolution:
- Only 16 of the 25 (64%) are White men.OK, look, the Frenchman, Spaniard, Pole and the Prussian guy and the 2 Indians, I’m not delving into the history now, but they probably helped. You’ve got 5 women, none of whom would have fought a lick. Sure, baking cookies, I get it, and I kid just a bit. The black woman, nah, she’s there to help us feel bad about that slavery thing, and same with the half-black man.
- Of these 16 White men, one was a Spaniard, one a Frenchman, one a Pole, and one a Prussian.
- That leaves only 12 of the 25 (48%) stamps commemorating White American Colonists, and Thomas Paine looks heavily tanned at that.
- There are 2 Indians (8%). The first (1st row / 3rd column) has a name that I don’t even feel like re-spelling, and the other is named Cornplanter. The colonists may have very well planted plenty of sweet corn, but English-descended American colonists don’t name their boys “Cornplanter”, I don’t care where the colony is. Plus, he’s wearing some kind of gay hat.
- There is 1 half-black man (3rd row / 2nd column), named Lemuel Haynes, out of Hartford, Connecticut. Of course, his accomplishments, besides having fought in a militia during the war (like nearly a quarter million other men!) were his blackety-black activities afterwards. He’s a token here.
- There are 5 women commemorated. One is John Adams’ wife. Did they really run out of important American Revolutionaries?
- One of the 5 women is black, going by the name of Elizabeth Freeman, also on the sheet of stamps due to that slavery business only. She did LIVE during the time of the American Revolution - I’ll grant her that!
Still, any American historian of the period could have come up with hundreds of deserving White American Colonists that played a bigger part than all but the 12 men that DESERVE to be on there. I could bring the stamps back to the Post Office, but then I’ll just get puppy dogs or something.
The real question here is, at the rate this country is descending into nothing ANY of those people on the stamps would have imagined, what will last longer, America, or my 5 sheets of Forever Stamps?
* Yes, I really had better explain this too: That 1st Class postage was the price of mailing a letter of up to an ounce. Mailing a non-private post card (open for the world to see) was always significantly cheaper, maybe 60% the price of 1st Class mail. Then, as there is now, but without the stupid LCD screen at the Post Office to slow one down, there were many other varying rates for bigger/heavier items, air versus ground, etc…
** Ahaaa, of course not “Men of the American Revolution”, as that would be highly un-Woke, but “Figures” is most certainly in there to remind us of those not-so-awfully-important “Hidden Figure” types.
Yep. It could have been “People of the American Revolution”, though that would work better as “People of the Khmer Rouge Revolution” or something like that. Those Commie Cambodians were too poor to send letters even, so how about “People of the People’s Cultural Revolution” for a set of Chinese stamps? Each of the collectible sets would have the same picture of Chairman Mao.

Ice cores und cracks in zee Climate Calamity Consensus
Posted On: Tuesday - April 21st 2026 6:54PM MST
In Topics: Global Climate Stupidity Trump Economics alt-right/MAGA
Since this post includes news from Germany, Peak Stupidity will do our usual mock-German, seeing as how most of what I know of the language I learned from Hogan's Heroes. This would also be a good time to wish our friend Dieter Kief well. I hope and pray you are recovering, Dieter.
We can probably only dream of removing any of the topic keys of stupidity here. Exceptions would be the very specific ones based on people. For example, could we eventually get rid of Karmakarma Kameleon. We're hoping she burns out or fades away, whatever is better for
ZeroHedge has posted a couple of articles recently that make me hopeful. The first one is scientific - Net Zero Activists Stumped By Shock New Evidence Showing No Link Between CO2 & Temperature Over Last Three Million Years, written by one Chris Morrison of the Daily Sceptic. Well, the science is in the second half of that headline.
As abstracted by ZH from this Nature article of which I can only read the abstract, from some long ice cores outta Antarctica:
The climate science world (‘settled’ division) is in shock following the discovery in ancient ice cores that levels of carbon dioxide remained stable as the world plunged into an ice age around 2.7 million years ago. Levels of CO2 at around 250 parts per million (ppm) were said to be lower than often assumed with just a 20 ppm movement recorded for the following near three million-year period. In addition, no changes in methane levels were seen in the entire period. Massive decreases in temperature with occasional interglacial rises appear to have occurred without troubling ‘greenhouse’ gas levels, and this revelation has caused near panic in activist circles.I've been repeating this over and over [/Yogi Berra], if you don't know the exact processes that cause the Ice Ages, how can you presume to have an accurate model of the climate. Now, because the Climate Alarmists have pinned all their hopes on the Greenhouse Effect (only a part of the WHOLE PICTURE) and Carbon Dioxide (sure, and Methane), anything contrary to their long-term narrative may give many people pause.
The assumed level three million years ago of CO2 was around 400 ppm, a convenient mark that has been used to explain the subsequent ice age and a drop to 250 ppm.As we and one Tony Heller explained*, changing time ranges is a way of fooling the public, and even other scientists.
Even the authors of the paper itself absolutely do not want to deviate from the consensus and kill the goose that lays those sweet, sweet grant money eggs.
Study lead author Julia Marks-Peterson noted: “We definitely were a bit surprised. If correct, the findings may suggest that even small changes in greenhouse gas levels could trigger major shifts in climate.”No. That's not science. If you've been assuming that it was large changes in CO2 that mattered, as determined by YOUR MODEL (remember your mathematical model?), then this finding really says that you should go looking for another cause for your alleged Climate Crisis. Or is it that they've been fudging the models, and this is just thinking out loud that "hey, let's make it work with smaller CO2 changes." At this point, I guess they're fully invested in the CO2 story. There's no turning back. It's CO2 or bust.
Well, that's a setback of the "scientific consensus", a most bogus term anyway. This whole thing has been a political program though, at least after the first few years long ago. The Western World has fallen for it, not because we're so science-minded, but because we are a sucker for destructive Globalist/Communist programs due to our caring spirit and stupidity. (That "royal 'our'" wrt the latter does not include Peak Stupidity bloggers, commenters, or readers.)
All that low-carbon-footprint, net-zero virtue signaling stupidity in the energy business has not been helpful to Western nations’ economies. At this point, Germany, having shut down its nuclear power plants, and with a war going on effecting energy flow, is not faring well. Much solid manufacturing industry, for which Germany is world-renowned, is being lost, as it depends on reasonably priced reliable energy, i.e. not the green stuff. Germans, above all (except the USA due to, I'll get to that) are wising up.
On ZeroHedge I also just read Cracks Appear In Climate Consensus As Germany's Energy Minister Admits Renewables Are Ruining The Country yesterday, by one Tilak Doshi. That energy minister is Katherina Reiche, who apparently received a nice emoji and three kind words on a tweet of hers from some Swedish guy. (I mean, this is the world of 2026 - that's, like, news!)
What Minister Reiche wrote in a guest column in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung is “One fact has been concealed for too long: an energy transition that ignores system costs will ruin the country it claims to save.” Nein Scheiße, Fraulein, is all Peak Stupidity would like to append to that, with, of course, a matching emoji.
I'm not completely sure this Energy Minister really understands how much Germany has been conned - she just sees it not working out so well. However, I think Fraulein (can that be used for lesbians?) Alice Weidel of the conservative, anti-invasion AfD party does:
Conservative leader Alice Weidel, riding a surge of popularity for the conservative-populist AfD party that is now second only to the ruling CDU/CSU coalition, has forthrightly stated that under an AfD-led government, the Net Zero movement would be rejected:Alice, welcome to Peak Stupidity, and thank you for reading. We admitted in this post that President Trump's term for this stupidity was even better than the "scam" or "hoax" that we've used and Alice Weidel attributes to him.We must also declare the climate crisis over. The whole thing is, as the American President so nicely puts it, a hoax – it is a complete scam. … We must immediately end the failed Energiewende. We must also immediately cut back and eliminate the waste of resources and the subsidies for so-called renewable energies.
"Scam" implies people getting swindled in business dealings, as in, money is involved. That is indeed a part of this. People that really aren't worried about temperatures and sea levels have been making bank off the taxpayer-funded incentives and bogus projects in the energy economy. "Hoax" implies deception or trickery. That is being used on the people, who don't know enough science and have trusted governments and Globalist elites.
The Climate Calamity™ has been both a scam and a hoax and more. It's not just about deception and the money. It's a program designed to let Globalists take control of the huge sector of the world's economy that is energy production/distribution/use, China, as always, excepted. What Trump said that fits best what's been going on is that "Climate change is "the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world."" Yes, Alice, it's a con-job.
Would we see any of these cracks in the political consensus on the Climate Calamity™ had Donald Trump not been elected President again in '24? I don't think so. Of course I'm not happy about much of what this blowhard has been doing over the last 2 months, but much of what I excitedly wrote in November of '24 in Have we voted our way out of this? still stands.

On the eating of the cats

This post is a Peak Stupidity retraction of sorts. We were on hiatus during the time of the eating of the cats and dogs story in the fall of ‘24. We did write one post about what the story was REALLY about, after the fact, Christmas Eve day of that year - Targeted Cultural Destruction and a deep dive into Tragic Dirt.
Per the Gateway Pundit, Outrage in Italy: Nigerian Migrant Arrested After Killing and Cooking Cat on Makeshift BBQ Next to Children’s Playground. Ohhhh, so this didn’t happen in Ohio. Also, it is Nigerian “migrants” that are cooking and eating the cats, NOT Haitians. That’s TOTALLY different. I’m so relieved. We don’t have any Nigerians HERE, do we … or Haitians that also might eat cats?
Interestingly, there’s “fury in Italy” over this. Never mind the decades of violence and change of the whole culture as African, Moslem, and African Moslem
Government Security Councilor Stefano Torri chimed in:
“As an Administration, we are ready to reiterate strongly: we will not allow anyone to come into our territory to import sick and barbaric customs. Those living in our country have a duty to respect our laws and our sensitivity towards animals. We won’t tolerate our land being turned into a theatre of the uncivilised by those who have no respect for the rules of civil life.”Oh, snap! You already did import sick and barbaric customs when you imported sick and barbaric people.
I like cats as much as the next man, probably more, so I, too, am pissed seeing this. SEND! THEM! HOME! We need the dog and cat-eaters out…
PS: I wonder why they felt the need to blur out the face of the cat in the pictures. Were they worried about next of kin?

… to that same old place now, Sweet Home Chiclayo…. [that ubiquitous descending chromatic blues riff]
Peak Stupidity has been onto this guy who calls himself Leo XIV almost since he got selected by some Cardinaltards a year ago. Our post last October with some background about this Robert Prevost was entitled Meet the new Pope... same as the old Pope.. . (We can’t put that great Who song in every post though.)
This guy and the last guy, so-called Pope Francis, are and were, respectively, both Liberation Theologists, which are kindler and gentler Communists, but Communists just the same. What I’m sure a lot of people don’t know about him, even many Catholics, is that Leo Prevost grew up in Chicago, the one in Illinois, but he spent half his adult life in place called Chiclayo, which, though sounding like Chicago, is NOT in Illinois but in Peru… and not the Peru in Indiana either.
Unless it was about the Iran War, which will hopefully be ended one way or another real soon, any Trump “Truth Socials”, texts, or other wild and crazy remarks directed at Pope Leo XIV are likely ones I’d agree with. Back off, Pope! Any talk of yours supporting the Climate Calamity con-job and the Population Replacement Programme come from your Liberation Theologist Communist background - I know what you’re up to. We know where your sympathies lie and where’s your home at heart. It’s that same old place …

The two White Blues Brothers, Jake and Elwood, did a fine job on this number with the band they’d just put back together too, with the movie set in Chicagoland at that.
I’m just attached to this version, from Foghat’s 1978 album Stone Blue - When I was stone blue, rock & roll sure helped me through … What was that deal, mostly a decade earlier, with all those skinny English White kids playing blues better than the old black men of the Mississippi delta?
Foghat were:
Dave Peverett - rhythm guitar, vocals
Rod Price - lead guitar, slide guitar
Craig MacGregor - bass guitar
Roger Earl - drums
* Did he really sell his soul to the devil in return for being able to play a mean guitar? He should have asked the devil to make him White too. You gots ta learn the art of the deal.

P.J. O’Rourke wrote Parliament of Whores 35 years ago. I thought he was kinda sorta joking, in a way. Now, nah.

while one traitor, two traitors, they creak open the door.

Five traitors, now six, so, they’ve found one more whore.
One third million Haitians, make the White man more poor,
whatever it takes, destroy the societal core.
Seven traitors through nine, they just needed four more.
Number ten has been found, one more vote, one more whore.
Now this odious bill, from the House it will soar
on down to the depths of the full Senate floor.
Have hope, we all say, no more Boxer nor Gore.
How in the Senate will they find one more whore?
No matter, we’re told, the bill’d still be tore

At this point this poem, though, is stuck in a rut,

Yeah, they’re good for some stories there at the Gateway Pundit. Since I’m not ragging on the website itself, this will finally be a short one. Here’s the post: These Six House Republicans Bucked Trump, Joined the Dems to Advance Measure to Restore ‘Protected Status’ For Thousands of Haitians.
Note that this is not the House vote itself. This vote discharges the bill to be voted on by the House.
The measure was introduced by radical Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley.No, this is not good for America, and it’s not good for Americans. The headline says “thousands”, which is true but misleading. We’re not talking a single digit number of thousands. The number of Haitians on this TPS program is in the multiple hundreds of thousands, maybe over half a million, IIRC.
“Extending TPS for Haiti is not only the moral and humanitarian thing to do—it’s also good policy. It’s good for families, it’s good for our economy, and it’s good for America,” Pressley said ahead of the vote. “Today the People’s House has an opportunity to pass our legislation to extend Haiti TPS and save lives. And we must do just that.”
These are the Six Traitors to America and Americans.:

Note, the number of Haitians is in the rough range I was thinking. Note also the time line of 3 years - just long enough to wait it out for the next President who will do squat all to get rid of these people. If this passes, they will stay for good.
I changed our title to be somewhat poetic, but there is complete overlap of these 10 traitors that made the bill pass with the 6 that discharged it.
The Ten Traitors, including the original six:
Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL)Yet you’ll read that “Trump is not doing ANYTHING on immigration. Bull. His people are doing a whole lot, but this kind of thing is what happens. “Oh, but he should have worked harder with the Congress.” No, it doesn’t work like that. If President Trump had 10 more people on our side, there would be 10 more traitors appearing, or whatever it would take to screw the American people. It’s what they do there in the UniParty-run Congress.
Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE)
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA)
Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL)
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY)
Rep. Mario Diaz Balart (R-FL)
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY)
Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH)
Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA)
Rep. Mike Carey (R-OH)
The (same) GP writer is more optimistic than I:
The measure is likely dead on arrival in the Senate.I’m not at all sure about that. Traitors to America infest the Senate too.
The President has vowed to veto the measure.I sure hope he would. The ctrl-left theoretically doesn’t have near the 2/3 votes for a veto override, but they seem to generally get their way. We have to face it - they hate us.

The Swalwell Files - brought to you by The Gateway Pundit
Posted On: Thursday - April 16th 2026 12:46PM MST
In Topics: Websites Humor Media Stupidity Female Stupidity
Look, I've got plenty other piece of stupidity to write about here. We've been ragging on the National Enquireresque Gateway Pundit site this week. It's been the subject of half of the four posts so far - - Eric Swalwell, Fang Fang, Katie Porter, and the hot potatoes and Muh Brutality, Violence, and Aggression. This one will bring it up to 60% temporarily.
Additionally, The Gateway Pundit is cluelessly(?) supportive of the Iran War, something Peak Stupidity is strongly against. Perhaps we should find another "go-to" site for political news.
We've considered that, but there are current informative stories worth reading - one will be the subject of a post later today, in fact. For now, though, let's revisit The Swalwell Files. The following headlines are from since only Monday night. I captured the pictures that went along with a third of them. The commentary is mine, of course:
For a welcome change, I don't think Nancy Pelosi was lying there. She and the rest of them don't care what her fellow leftists are up to. What goes on in the Democrat Party, stays in the Democrat Party. Just don't vote wrong or gum up the works.
OMG! He was partying on St. Tropez. Looks like fun. I wish I could have been there, but I'm not a rich handsome US Congressman. (After years and years of thinking some suntan commerical on TV was about "Central Bay", I finally realized one day that this Saint Tropez is a French place. Actually, till now I thought it was a Caribbean Island, but it's on the French Riviera. You can get a lot of sun there, and party down.)
Boy, that was close! Now, I mighta fired 5 times, maybe 6, so the question you gotta ask yourself, lady, is "Do you feel lucky today?" "Escape from his clutches." Who writes this stuff? Oh, there you go, Cullen Linebarger.
Making a Federal case of it.
Indeed she looks worse for the wear and tear, or is it... how long do those kind of drugs last? Just saying...
I know, right? Why doesn't this talk-show host bring back on the guests who've been shamed, expelled, and indicted?
This Gallego fellow is a US Senator (D-AZ). See that "D" there. No, he is fine. You're confused. I see nothink!
A fifth accuser, and it's still SHOCKING? One would think Christiana Laila would be over the shock by this point, after 3 dozen posts about Mr. Swalwell.
Also, for this accuser (I'm not actually clicking on these things), some advice for you: You're running into diminishing returns. Being number 5, you'll not get nearly half this guy's money - wait, can you do math? Then too, everyone's been looking at the cleavage and rear end of the first couple of accusers, and you're not going to get all the attention you seek... maybe try another Congressman...
This is one of GP's regular podcasts. Wayne Allan Root is not one of the usual clueless journalists. We ragged on him separately a couple of years back in the post Wayne Root touts the Bizarro World Sailer Strategy. It doesn't sound as if he's got anything smarter to talk about. TS/WW.
"Suddenly silent"? I wish. You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin’ to? You talkin’ to me? Well, I’m the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you’re talking to?"
Well, yeah, I mean chicks really get mad if you make them pay for the room. That'd be a real Third Rate Romance and Low Rent Rendezvous. More French!!
"She kept saying, 'I've never really done this kind of thing before, have you?' (Third rate romance, low rent rendezvous), and he said, 'yes I have, but only a time or two.' (Third rate romance, low rent rendezvous)"
Big Mike can't run. She from New York or Marth's Vineyard or somethin'. You cain't do THAT... can you?
Ohhhh, didn't see THAT coming! You Gateway Pundit, National Enquirer-wannabees are so proud for having broken this SHOCKING, BREAKING, and DEVELOPING story, but you don't understand that you've been played for suckers here. You've been helping the D-Party get their story out so they can get that California Governor election going in the correct democratic direction.
Joe Hoft, brother of GP proprietor Jim Hoft. So, that's how it is in their family. Yeah, I'll just end this here with the two

Muh Brutality, Violence, and Aggression
Posted On: Wednesday - April 15th 2026 4:18PM MST
In Topics: Websites Student and other Snowflakes Anarcho-tyranny Educational Stupidity Muh Generation
This is about the younger generations, who used to, I guess, use that “muh” this or that to indicate disdain for one’s caring about this or that. Part of my problem with the young generations is that I keep looking at The Gateway Pundit site for stories. Among a few decent informative posts, I am really miffed by the pure exaggeration of what’s considered “brutal”, “horrible”, or “aggressive” by these young writers.
She’s still filming while she’s getting back on her feet!
A story I tried to avoid a few days ago was TPUSA Reporter Savanah Hernandez Brutally Assaulted Outside Whipple ICE Facility in Minneapolis (VIDEO) . (This story went farther than The Gateway Pundit too.) I’m most definitely on the side of this young lady who was filming the usual - kind of tiring at this point - obstruction by the ctrl-left of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in their current high-profile role of coming and getting illegal aliens and sending them home.
This Savanah Hernandez was videoing the action, as the rude-as-usual protestors kept trying to block her angle and jostle her. One guy (I THINK it was a guy, but it’s hard to tell these days) ended up throwing a punch and then quickly wrestling her to the ground. That’s aggressive, sure. He didn’t do this in self-defense or as part of a real mix-up riot either, so it’s assault, which is still a crime, at least for those on the one side of Anarcho-Tyranny (we’ll get to this).
Instead of trying to block that punch or perhaps cushion her fall, young Savanah kept filming. She wasn’t hurt, so she got up quickly… as she, you guessed it, KEPT FILMING. Is there some way to explain to the young generation that iPhones are not weapons? (I suppose that’s something that apple and your smarter terrorists are working on.) If that filming was for the record, say her day in court, well, she could count on plenty of video being available.
It’s just not what I’d do. I’m not a girl, but I HAVE seen those mud-wrestling shows. Savanah could have done something physical. I’d have jumped the guy after the fact and let him have it. Is that just some old Boomer thing, I guess, not letting one’s self get beat up, if possible?
The main point is, you ain’t seen a “BRUTAL ASSAULT”, if you think this was one. There’s really no excuse for these young “journalists” to abuse the terminology, as these young people can see what a brutal assault is on youtube, after a quick search of “black guy kills…” Or, “black woman kills…” About everyone has seen the video of poor Iryna Zarutska dying right there on the city bus in Charlotte, N.C. If not, there’s a new BRUTAL ASSAULT daily, and those are just the ones captured on video that have gone viral. This little incident at the ICE facility was not it. I guess there are Snowflakes on both sides up there in Minneapolis.
“Ommmm…. Ommm. Someone’s dousing, Lord, Kumbaya…”
The next one I came upon was even more stupid and exaggeratory. MORE LEFTIST VIOLENCE: UC Berkeley Student Douses Conservative TPUSA Table With Coffee — University Silent . “Now we see the violence inherent in the coffee!” It’s the same general story here. Normal, calm, sane Conservatives “act out” by setting up folding display tables on campus and handing out flyers, perhaps talking nicely, maybe saying “prove me wrong”.* The ‘tards of the ctrl-left can’t stay calm. They can’t put up with a challenge to their views.
So they doused, DOUSED, I tell you, the display tables with coffee! Now, you throw hot coffee in someone’s face, and that could be a serious assault, considered actual violence due to the harm from scalding. (Let’s not mention the Moslems and acid.) This was just a typical childish temper tantrum thrown by typical deranged leftists in, where was that, Berkeley, California, just your normal American town…?
What you do is, no, not keep filming the table and the coffee, but grab whatever solid object you have nearby, the empty coffee pot, a stapler, or the iphone already IN your hand, and you bash that son-of-a-bitch with it. Or you throw a punch. I’m not sure I could stop myself from doing this, at least within 5 seconds of the dousing,… oh, it turns out it was a girl. That’d be tougher to handle, I’ve got to admit. These bullies, if you remember the deal about bullies, will keep it up if you don’t fight back. Hey, they should be glad it wasn’t a pot of potatoes.
Now the silly Gateway Pundit writers may be exaggerating for their cause, “those evil leftists” - well they are evil, but this is not the evil you should be worried about. Pol Pot, Mao ZeDong, Joe Stalin, etc., etc. are the types to worry about when it comes to evil brutal assault and violence. There was no crying over spilled coffee under those regimes.
Then, these writers, of the same generation, might be the kind of snowflakes that really believe their exaggerations. What this really comes down to is decades of damage from the lower-Ed system. The children never get a chance to fight back. You hit back, and the “School Resource Officer” will put the same long-lasting bad mark on your record as for the other guy. Remember “I don’t care who started it?!” That was a bunch of bull then, and it’s a bunch of bull now.
This kind of behavior is weird to someone of my age, at least my background, because, besides a few tough sportsball coaches, if a fight got dangerous, there was nobody around to break it up and no cop to turn it into a federal case.
That was one of my Dad’s expressions: “Let’s not make a federal case out of it.” Well, whaddya’ know, per (but of course!) the Gateway Pundit again, Harmeet Dhillon: DOJ ‘Will Explore Possibility of Federal Charges’ in Brutal Assault on TPUSA Journalist Savanah Hernandez . See, that there is exactly what he was talking about, 50 years ago.
Finally, let me mention the Anarcho-Tyranny. That is part of the explanation for this kind of behavior. We’ve compared the George Floyd rioters to the J6 rioters and noted the extreme difference in how they were treated by the law. That’s got to be on the minds of Conservatives who mix it up with the ctrl-left. This has gotten a whole lot better since the end of the Brandon Administration and the nice amount of influencing being done on this score by President Trump.
You’ve still got to be extremely careful if you are a Conservative though. OTOH, after a few ass-kickings of the Anarcho-Tyrannical bullies themselves, maybe we can go back to the old way.
* Oh yeah, I just remembered the Turning Point connection in this story.

Goolag AI Fail
Posted On: Tuesday - April 14th 2026 7:04PM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Websites Media Stupidity Artificial Stupidity Taxes
That's what I saw near the top of the screen after a google search on "Peak Stupidity" just now. I get to my site this way, via a handful of search sites and from different places or devices, purposely to bring us to the TOP. We are above the image shown, thankfully, but google users might mistakenly think that its AI is somehow helpful.
First I thought that "Menstrual Classes + Mass Deportations = Peak Stupidity" might very well be AI's quick take on our site. Not bad, I guess, as we have mentioned menstruation as applied to men* - after all, you can't spell "menstruation" without "men",
... but, no, it's clear the links goes to the Washington Monthly. Menstrual Classes + Mass Deportations = Peak Stupidity . "They've stolen our material!" was my next thought, so I clicked to see...
... Oh, no, this is not my beautiful material. Like Tampon Timmah of Minnesota, they've taken what is funny and made it serious. "If the Trump administration were genuinely concerned about America’s declining population, it would embrace immigration instead of pursuing half-baked ideas to increase birth rates." is the sub-headline. Now, I've got to go and fisk the whole thing!
Policy experts and advocates of boosting the birthrate have been meeting with White House aides, sometimes handing over written proposals on ways to help or convince women to have more babies,” reported The New York Times. Among the ideas circulating are a quota for the share of Fulbright scholarships awarded to parents and federal funding for programs that “educate women on their menstrual cycles” to “teach them when they’re able to conceive.”Perhaps we SHOULD let their Moms teach them, or let 'em figure it out themselves -see Oregon enacts "Carrie's Law", which was, sorry Bill Scher of the Washington Monthly, an expose of stupidity.
Exactly which of these “pronatalist” policies President Donald Trump will embrace is not known, but he is a receptive audience, having pledged as a candidate to “support baby booms.” Similarly, in his first speech as Vice President, J.D. Vance told an anti-abortion rally, “I want more babies in the United States of America” (as if we didn’t already know that after Vance’s open disdain for “childless cat ladies” was uncovered in the 2024 campaign.)Yes, well, I mean, you can't say it out loud unless you're Donald Trump, lest you get vilified on Johnny Carson, but it's White or at least American (of some sort) babies Vance is talking about.
It's hard to believe this guy doesn't get that basic point. Immigration is REPLACING the American population - we're trying to REPLENISH it.
The baby-making push is overtly sold not as a dystopian Handmaid’s Tale-esque plan to shunt women out of the workplace and back into the kitchen, even though, as a separate Times dispatch from a recent pronatalist conference noted, their movement has embraced “misogynists calling for a return to traditional gender roles.”Damn misogynists, wanting women to live like women! They got a lotta nerve...
As the Congressional Budget Office detailed last year, in its 30-year population projections, “Over the next decade, immigration accounts for about 70 percent of the overall increase in the population, and the greater number of births than deaths accounts for the remaining 30 percent. After 2034, net immigration increasingly drives population growth, accounting for all population growth beginning in 2040.” Those projections would not hold if Trump’s mass deportation regime remained in place.Yes, that's the point!
In the rest of this, the writer goes off into the weeds - it's not fiskable, per se, but then at the end:
So, put me down as skeptical that Trump and his pro-natalist allies are serious about effective policymaking to increase America’s population. They are far more serious about dehumanizing and deporting immigrants and promoting sexist stereotypes about the role of women in society.You know... Americans might have bigger families for THEMSELVES, aka, more Americans, without any worthless Government programs if the country weren't always getting more crowded, with more expensive housing, immigrants competing for jobs and reducing prevailing wages, immigrants mooching off and cheating on the Welfare system supported by their taxes...
... I just got 'em done, speaking of taxes - opened up a brand new bank account for the tax refund coming, because the IRS won't send paper checks anymore and wants to do direct deposit. Sure, I trust you, men and women of the IRS. As soon as the money is in there, I'll close the account. If they can put it in, they can take it out.
I had another post to write that I'll get to tomorrow. I'm not at all happy about google's Artificial Stupidity steering people not just wrong, but 180 degrees off course. We'll set you straight here. Good night.
* We were WAY, WAY ahead of Tampon Timmah Walz in this matter. He stole our idea, but then he reverse-engineered it ass-backwards.

Eric Swalwell, Fang Fang, Katie Porter, and the hot potatoes
Posted On: Monday - April 13th 2026 8:09PM MST
In Topics: Humor California China US Feral Government ctrl-left Female Stupidity
The continuing saga of former Congressman, California Gubernatorial (like, for Governor) candidate, and a great fit with nary a stage name required, for a gay porn movie, Eric Swalwell had been told in a couple of dozen posts in
No, that's not really the problem... or California would have had no Governors since.... Ronald Reagan? Peak Stupidity and Unz Review commenter E.H. Hail set the record straight there:
People are saying the D-Team wanted to shut down one of the major D candidates so as to consolidate the D vote.Very good summary, Mr. Hail. I agree. The people of the ctrl-left think strategy and tactics, not principles. Conservatives should envy the way the ctrl-left does things, but we don't think this way.
In the California governor primary, everyone’s in it together. Like those presidential voting systems with two rounds, like France’s (1sr round with everybody from big-tent centrists, to Marxist-Leninist Revolution Party, to LaRouche Movement guy, to Animal Supremacism Party girl, and all in between; then a 2nd round with the top two only).
Some smart D-Team money (probably aligned with Israel) didn’t like the odds of the D-Team ending up like the Three Stooges, getting stuck trying to all go through an open door at the same time. If the D vote split enough ways, two R’s could be No.1 and No.2.
They had to axe somebody. They sent out the memo: “ATTN loyal D-Teamers. There shall be a joint political assassination, on such-and-such a date, against the sole Non-Jewish White heterosexual male in the field.” It happened remarkably swiftly, efficiently.
Yeah, right, what's in the water? Are you that gullible?
As I informed Mr. Hail, Eric Swalwell is just the first. I know I've read about this broad Katie Porter before, likely on The Gateway Pundit, and she is a real ctrl-lefty piece of work - that's about all I remember, as what she actually did or said per the article was probably too stupid to stomach.
I guess, just to be sure they've got this '26 election covered and could not possibly democratically end up with a Republican Governor, the California Powers-That-Be are bringing up some very bad skeletons from Mrs. Porter’s past, such as that she once poured a pot of hot potatoes* on her husband.
Now, the Gateway Pundit writers are oblivious to what's really happening. They just go with this stuff:
Porter has faced longstanding allegations stemming from a contentious divorce with her ex-husband, Matt Hoffman.Ha, my good friend was just commenting on this very style of stupidity here. She did not divorce her ex-husband - you CAN'T! This potato-dumping Hoffman guy WAS her husband till... they got divorced! (The writer is one Gregory Lyakhov - he looks like a geek in his picture, so this should not be happening.) OK, moving on to the, like, story and all:
However, the situation remains disputed. Hoffman himself later stated to Fox News Digital that he did not recant the allegations, directly contradicting claims made by Porter’s campaign.A contentious divorce, ya' don't say? This happens even to people who aren't running for Governor of California. Let me get back to the potatos (You spell it "potatoes", I spell it "potatos"):
The legal battle between the two included competing restraining orders, police involvement, and a broader dispute over custody and conduct during their separation. Ultimately, the case unfolded in the context of a highly contentious divorce, with both parties accusing each other of abusive behavior.
Among the most widely cited claims were that Porter allegedly dumped a boiling pot of potatoes on him during an argument and shattered household items in a way that caused injury.I don't discount scalding 3rd degree burns, and this explains why I buy my potatoes already mashed, albeit at about 50x the price, from Bojangles. (Yeah, I used to even buy them from the grocery in a box.) This next part of the GP article is just weird:
People make allegations against each other after messy divorces quite often, but if Hoffman, Porter’s ex-husband, was lying, it would not add up. Specific stories, like a boiling pot of potatoes, are much harder to fabricate and consistently maintain than general claims. At the same time, they would still be difficult to definitively prove.Thanks, Mr. Jordan Peterson Rockford. but I could have made up a better story than that even. "She threw the cat in my face!", I dunno. I probably would have folded under pressure during cross-examination anyway: "Yes, OK, it was Campbells Bean & Bacon soup! I lied, because I'm supposed to be keeping my sodium under control!"
Anyway, this was all 13 years ago. You don't have to be a detective to see the fishiness here. Just along with the sex-filled, yet somehow still sordid, story of Eric Swalwell, it's not a coincidence that this is all coming out into public view this month, and out of a dozen million Californians who've done worse, just happens to have involved two Democratic contenders for the Governorship.
Let's get back to the lurid Swalwell case. There's something about his having had an affair with one Fang Fang** - last name withheld, apparently, for privacy reasons... because... she's a honeypot spy out of China, they say. The name Fang Fang has appeared in the news so many times, that you'd think a guy would remember it and imagine himself on a date with James O'Keefe - see Peak Stupidity's advice to the ctrl-left: OMG, stupid!. It's not just that she's a spy, but there's just been too much honey made already - not sure I'd want to pollinate that particular flower. Regarding this affair, another Unz Review frequent commenter, one J. Ross, explained the story thusly:
So let me get this straight. If you become an intelligence asset for the Chinese government, you retain your office and your seat on the freaking intelligence committee. If you bang a hooker who is NOT a spy, your life is over. Do I have that right?That was great! Here's the official meme, for the record:
Of course, what man in his right mind would not at some point do an internet search for "Fang Fang bikini pictures"? You've got to know how serious the CCP is with these tactics. I found the following, although she goes by Rong Fang now. Wrong Fang? Probably.
Yeah, see, this is why you've gotta watch it. If this woman asked me while in bed, I'm guessing I'd tell her all about what goes on at the State Department, not like that's gonna help the CCP any, but... whewww,... I mean, I could see myself calling my buddy who knows the nuclear launch codes, unasked, just to be nice. She's pretty hot. I get this whole honeypot idea now. It just might work!
Now, as the Gateway Pundit had headline after headline about the sudden untimely revelations about Eric Swalwell, I came upon one today.
These things swing too far. The scorned staffers who didn't get any, and the Feminazis who've now understood it's OK to go after this guy have him leaving the whole Congress. It's not like California politicians will appoint a Republican to the seat, so, what's the difference? It's a win/win for the ctrl-left.
Another thing I've mentioned before is the the ctrl-left takes care of its own. They'll finish up with the Governor race, and then you'll see this guy reappear in good graces. It might take a couple of years, but he'll be back in some office, or worst case, a talking head on national TV.
Just keep away from Fang Fang and any other hot potatoes!
* I do feel for former Vice President Dan Quayle about the spelling of "potatoes". It's NOT intuitive. Import MOAR Indian spelling bee champions!
** No relation to Wang Fang or Wang Chung either, for that matter.

Irish Revolt? What for?
Posted On: Monday - April 13th 2026 1:43PM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Economics World Political Stupidity People's Revolt
Peak Stupidity wrote about both the rioting in England and, to a lesser extent, that in Ireland in the Summer and Fall of last year. Our topic key, People’s Revolt has been hijacked from its first hopeful use, when covering the Canadian truckers’ protest against the jab and other Kung Flu indignities back in early ‘22. The reader will find a number of such-labeled posts on the encouraging events in the UK against the immigration invasion there.
It’s not over. The Globalists have not won. I am happy to see that the Irish are raising hell, and have been for the last week or so. The main beef of these farmers and truckers is the extra-high price of fuel these days. Oil is a commodity, so one might say that, even though they get their oil there from the North Sea, the price of oil is the price of oil - prices will generally go up together everywhere. However, this is not just about the Iran War, something the Irish Gov’t doesn’t seem to be much involved with. (And good on those blokes for that.) The Globalists running Ireland into the ground like everywhere else have been levying extra tax for The Planet™. I really thought Trump had put the kibosh on this whole Climate Calamity™ con job!
That’s the ostensible reason for the massive blocking of roads and highways with tractors and big rigs. (I’ll say too that, even were it not about fuel, such as that Canadian protest, the trucks are VERY helpful if you’re gonna shut things down like this.)
However, the Population Replacement Programme by the Globalists, as it has been affecting (make that destroying) Ireland is also a part of this. I wish it were the MAIN reason. Fuel taxes may be oppressive, but they CAN be reversed in a day. The damage from the PRP, can take years or decades to reverse, if that’s at all even possible. The Trump Administration is an example.
One of the Instapundit commenters links to the Calling All Rush-babes site on occasion. That site name might turn off some real Conservatives, but, nonetheless, this page from yesterday, The People of Ireland have had enough , has some good info. with short videos.
What the hell is a Laurie? Is that like a Karen or a Mary? I wouldn’t take that if I were one of these Tru… ohhhhh, Lorrie!… drivers either!
What you’ll notice in this next one is that the interviewee out in the city crowd is interested in the Government relenting on the fuel tax. He doesn’t want anyone to go home until they have a deal. Sorry, this is not good enough.
I’ve read that there are Irish cops standing down by calling in sick. That’s a good trend.
I just hate to see that not all, but almost everything going on is billed as a “Fuel Protest” by both sides. NO! If you get your way, completely even, on the taxes, but you don’t force the invasion issue, you have lost. Are you going to come back out next year for that? You’ve got every real Irishman on your side, so MAKE THIS COUNT!
Now, I suppose if you overturn the whole government with this, then, sure, now we could see the White hatred inherent in the system.
(Yeah, that’s one of the Instapundit Professor Reynolds’ dozen or so funny overused lines. It’s from Monty Python’s Quest for the Holy Grail. Anytime there are voices of Englishmen or Irishmen involved, all that stuff comes into my head!)

Ugandan Civil War - Primates Hardest Hit
Posted On: Saturday - April 11th 2026 5:49PM MST
In Topics: Music Humor
I don’t know - this time there are just too many great headline ideas, but I could only use one.
People tend to use the term “Chimp-out”, but let Peak Stupidity tell you right here, stereotypes are real - chimps do not always act like Ross’ pet monkey on Friends.
The story on The Gateway Pundit is APE WAR: Two Chimpanzee Clans in Uganda Violently Turn on Each Other in the First Recorded Simian Conflict – And Scientists Have No Idea Why. This deal with the clans sounds like the situation in Minneapolis last Mayoral election, pretty much like that… it didn’t turn violent yet… maybe will soon, if CongressRaghead Omar arranges for more US taxpayer funding…
Hey, I should lighten up - we’re all primates here, after all, with the same hierarchies of needs and shit. The following, from a tweet in the GP post, sounds like, well, what Homo Sapiens do too… no, I mean even we straight ones:
Massive chimpanzee group in Uganda has reportedly split into rival factions & descended into a deadly “civil war”.Some were said to be beret-wearing guerrillas… no, guerillas. The alpha males leading the factions in question here were named way back by Anthropologist Jane Goodall, IIRC, Lenin and Trotsky. Get off of me, you dirty stinking Commie apes!
Civil war in Africa, huh? I wonder if the UN will send in gorilla peacekeeping troops. The NY Post reported:
“Two adult male members of the Ngogo chimpanzee group band together and chase away rivals. ‘What followed was a series of lethal attacks by the western group on members of the central group’, the researchers wrote.There was a rift, and now there’s been a schism.
The 200 members of the ape clan were close, until the late 1980’s, when a rift caused various cliques to be formed.
“By 2015, the formerly cohesive community had split into two clans that lived and reproduced separately. […] It’s yet unclear what caused the schism. However, the researchers postulated that several adult males who acted as ambassadors between different factions died, leading to strained relations and a ‘change in the male dominance hierarchy’.”
The parting on the left
is now a parting on the right,
and the butt hair’s just grown longer overnight.
I really do wanna hear The Who now, so I’ll feature this yet again, along with (also, again) music somewhat related to the post, Mickey’s Monkey by one of the few black rock bands ever, Mother’s Finest. The Who’s Won’t Get Fooled Again has EVERYTHING, a great melody, great sound, and great lyrics too. Mickey’s Monkey has lyrics that are not so… errr, even interpretable, but that’s just fine, as it has a good melody, and a great rock/funk sound. Both must be played LOUD, though, to be good songs.
There’s a good 1978 live version, but I wanted to get the best one, off the record. Tough call. This music is so good, that I really couldn’t blame Pete Townsend for smashing his guitar, instinctively!
White, black, it didn’t matter in the 1970s - everyone had his guitar distortion turned up to 8.
OK, it’s been a weak week, Peakers, so we’ll see if we can get back on our A-game next blogweek. Have a happy Sunday. Thanks for reading and writing in!
BREAKING: The UN has finally gotten involved. A new UN Resolution has just been passed, banning all shipments of black obelisks to Uganda, lest, and I quote, “… this shit really gets outta hand.”

A tale of two tree guys

It was the best of trees, it was the gnarliest of trees…
A more proper term would be Arborist, and one of our two in this tale could rightly be called that. Lumberjack is another, but we are discussing guys who take down trees in city spaces - colloquially, it’s just “tree guy”. (No, I’ve never seen a woman do this work and not ever even heard of one.)
This is really dangerous work. The machines are one thing, as wood chippers could be the stuff of nightmares… or Coen Brothers movies. The buckets on top of those “cherry pickers” can be dangerous among power lines, and then there is the climbing and lowering of thousand pound limbs down in some carefully planned way to avoid bashing sheds and windows. Therefore, it takes some smarts too.
The scariest I’ve seen this tree work get was a time when one young guy, assisted by his two helpers on the ground, was up in a Magnolia tree. That’s soft wood, and, ropes and all, at one point, he told me he was on his own - in the rock climbing world it’d be called “free soloing”. These were White guys that worked for cash. (I really doubt they had insurance either.)
From that last bit, the reader might be able to tell where this is leading… Race/Genetics is one of the topic keys. I just want to discuss business and finances here, so I’ll leave the story of cheap, or not, labor for another post.
It was about an over half-century old pecan tree that had to come down a few years back. Having foot and a half diameter limbs sitting horizontally 20 ft. over the roof can be unnerving... once people kept mentioning it.* It was sad, but this one had to go. My wife was worried and called one guy a day before a hurricane was due to arrive… haha, no, she still not quite there yet with the prepping mindset … so… some months later I called a tree guy who was at the time a friend of, and in a business relationship with, my friend. This tree guy is black.
Now, I appreciate hardworking guys of all races (so long as they don’t break into and swamp the country). For the black contingent, I’ve said before that a whole lot of them seem to need physical work to keep them out of trouble. You might say this guy is a success in business. When he’s got a job, this guy works hard, or used to. He’s too old to get up into the tree anymore though, so his son is up in the cherry picker while he supervises it all from a perch on a wheelbarrow. This tree of ours got cut down without damage to property, so I have no complaints there.
But this post is about the finances and handling of money. Black people are generally very very poor at this. You see these stats about average or median wealth of people by demographic, and, well, they fare terribly. It’s not that they don’t or can’t make good money. This guy does and can. They just can’t HANDLE it worth a damn. Because this first of two tree guys was - see that’s yet another bad finances story itself - a friend of my friend, I gave him all the benefit of the doubt in bargaining.
I got screwed, or I screwed myself, in the bargaining, I realized after the fact. I tried to imagine the size of his crew, the amount of time to do the job, and the upkeep of equipment, etc. I’m no Socialist, but I wanted to pay a fair price. Nah, I overestimated how many guys he had out (collecting the limbs, using the chipper, etc.), and I found out he paid them less than I’d thought. He made out better than he would have with a more savvy customer. He’d have probably done the job for $1,000 lower. That’s on me - I can’t complain there either. More on this in the postscript.
First thing, he hadn’t sharpened his chipper beforehand, so he borrowed my extension cord and did that, taking up 1/2 an hour. Things just weren’t really planned out. I’d already found out how bad he is with the money, running on the ragged edge as far as problems with both the big truck and the chipper, from my friend. Loans were involved, and this guy finally got tired of being told he had to pay them back in a timely manner. But, he got himself a nice ride to style and profile.
Whatever comes in gets spent, simple as that… no financial planning is done for the case of another of the big hydraulic cylinders springs another leak, or, say, the one time when a big limb crunched up the roof of the cherry picker.
The cloud of caring for nothing, which overshadowed him with such a fatal darkness, was very rarely pierced by the light within him.
Uhhh, yeah, anyway here’s the kicker: About a month after the work, this tree guy’s wife, acting as business manager, called me up. “You’re the one at [Redacted Address] with the big pecan tree, right? OK, so when do you want it taken down?”, she asked, somewhat exasperated. Oh, I see. It’s either that this guy doesn’t even keep track of what he’s done, or it’s that he doesn’t want the wife to get ALL the proceeds. I’d paid him in cash, so it’s probably the latter.
Now, another big pecan tree was in a much worse spot. I couldn’t even see HOW it could be taken down, without smashing structures. There was no way I would call tree guy #1, as I’d paid too much that time, and, no, I didn’t trust him with this job. Instead, I called the one White guy who I’d gotten to take down somewhat smaller trees fairly recently.
I suppose it’s not completely apples-to-apples, this Black & White comparison, as this White guy is in a class by himself. He used to do software work, and he’s probably the smartest tree guy I’ll ever run into.
In this case, he couldn’t bring his machines in, so he had his hired climber. (I know he climbs them too, but not this time.) The crew of 3 White guys had to have complete trust in each other - another factor in this comparison - as the ropes had to be set just right to bring these big pieces of wood down from up to 75 feet up.
We’d made what I thought was a fair deal, a lower price than for the other Pecan tree some years ago, and it was a more difficult job. I’m here to write about the handling of the finances though. This guy has a $150,000 tracked crawler machine with spidery outriggers, a couple of trucks, the chipper, a skid-steer, and more! He’d told me during that last job, as I talked about paying him cash, that sometimes he doesn’t want it, as he has to put money in the bank to show good credit for the bank and his loans (such as on the crawler).
He’s got jobs planned out a month in advance, he’s got his job starts planned to the half hour, he pays his crew well, at least from what he told me about his climber ($600 a day), and I don’t get confused phone calls from anyone. He uses the app “chipdrop”** to save on time and sometimes make a few bucks dropping his wood chips off. He goes to Arborist conferences even! I couldn’t imagine the Black tree guy doing any of these things.
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done;
Whaaa? Well, it’s a completely different world, doing business with the White tree guy, as opposed to with the black tree guy. Double entendre unintended, it’s like night and day. There’s a big difference in organizational skill, but mostly what I see as the biggest factor in success is the ability, or lack of such, to handle money, and tree companies make some good money.
PS: Now, I’ll let the readers mull something over. What I wrote about here is this black tree guy’s own business - I don’t have to be a customer again. However, the one thing about this black tree guy did that I really didn’t like was his method of bargaining. Sure, if we end up at a certain price, well, that’s free enterprise***. He started out at a ridiculous number of $9,000 - that’s what pisses me off and still does as I write this.
Of course, I told him no to that initial stupid pricing, and to come up with a better price, and we bargained way down from there.
This high-balling the price is not right, IMO. It’s just hoping for some real sucker, maybe an old lady,,, “Oh, my, sonny! I had no idea that things had gone up so much. OK, then…” “That’s just business”, one may reply, “If someone will pay $9,000, then that’s obviously the value of this service to him.” I think it’s plain wrong to start with a price that ridiculously high, hoping you’ll occasionally rip off some sucker. As a Libertarian, I could be wrong in thinking this way… what say you?
* Also, a MUCH smaller limb, about 2 inches in diameter came down onto a vehicle one day and cracked the windshield and busted the inside rear-view mirror.
** This is another “sharing economy” thing, and it’s pretty clever. Tree companies don’t want to run their trucks 10-20 miles to dump chips, and wood chip customers don’t want to pay much when, after all, it costs these guys to get rid of them. The app/site matches up chip consumers with chip producers by location. Sometimes, the tree company can make a few bucks, but if there is low demand, I think he said he might even have to pay out a few. Time is money, and so is mileage on the vehicles - AND, you’ve got to empty it, or you can’t go on using the chipper.
I just talked to guys nearby one time and got a load dumped onto my driveway that took 60 wheelbarrow loads to spread out! This sharing economy idea sure beats my getting occasionally being in the right place at the right time.
*** … and no taxes were paid by anyone, something to appreciate especially this time of this, the cruelest of months. (Yet another literary reference… as Peak Stupidity slowly becomes high-brow.)

That was a good one!
They can't leave anything White alone. I've done some sailing long ago, but it wasn't like the pictures you see of the Kennedies. But, no, there weren't any black people on any boat I've sailed - most of the time on a Cal-15, so ...
A friend had told me that the name of this particular The Police album. the 2nd with a title in French after Outlandos d'Amour. had a secret meaning, a "dog whistle", if you will. Rather than about a sailing regatta race (but what was the white?), it also meant "The White Race", as in the people. Well, we didn't have spell-check, you know, so I found out decades later that the title meant "White Reggae".
The Police did have a Reggae sound for some of the music. I'm sure Peak Stupidity has featured Walking on the Moon before. That's an example, and with such a great chorus! Another good song from that album was Message in a Bottle, written by Sting*, as was the first one and about half the songs on Regatta de Blanc.
Reggae is a black thing, but these 3 very White men could play it too. It wasn't about "improving inclusivity" though. The Police just liked and played the music. If black people don't particularly like sailing boats, leave 'em alone about it.
* I'm not sure what was wrong with his real name, Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner.
