I'm pretty sure I first read about this on ZeroHedge, but they use many stories from other sites - I'll get to the original.
Yea, Champlin Park Rebels! (In Minnesota) You go, Marissa Rothenberger! She's also received "All-Tournament Team" honors, don'tcha' know? We at Peak Stupidity don't really give a rat's hooootie - tryin' to sound Minnesoootan, don'tcha' know - abooot girls' sports, and we don't operate out of Minnesooota. Still, you go grrllll... wait, there's a tweet over there with this breaking girls' softball news:
The Daily Wire elucidates the slight sex discrepancy here: Boy Pitches Complete-Game Shutout To Win Girls’ Softball Championship. Complete game shutout - that's pretty good, but, wait, he's a boy and boys are stronger and pitch faster and ... oh, I gotta be careful here... I might piss off some Feminists, but then maybe not. I'm surprised at their ability to hold the "girls rule!" and "get off the field, boys!" thoughts in their not-so-pretty little heads at one time. Get back in the dugout, Feminists.
Anyway, that's not at all my point today, as it's all been said before. From the tweet, we read:
Every single Democrat in Minnesota voted to make this insanity possible.Yes, they're either completely mad, in the British sense, or deliberate destroyers of society and are out for humiliation.
So what? That doesn't matter this time. Can Americans ever realize that not every single facet of life must be decided by government? It's bad enough so many things are. Unlike vaccines (at times), girls softball is not mandatory. You don't have to let, or even make, your girls play in this league and put up with this genderbender stupidity. These girls in the Minnesota High School league aren't making a living at it.
Sickening.Well, yeah it is, but what's really sickening is that you people feel so helpless about this and won't DO ANYTHING. Don't complain about the judges and legislators. Don't go asking for Trump for help. (He has helped, though it's not really his business, and he'll probably TACO out of this one too.)
This is really easy, like hitting a slow-pitch softball sailing right over the plate. Quit en masse. Play your games at another ballpark in town. Take your balls and go home. (Pun not intended and hopefully not applicable!)

PS and MAGA to Donald Trump: Drop Dead!

In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Trump
I wanted to write about Ireland tonight. However, a Gateway Pundit article, really mostly the comments below it, are trying to convince me that I shouldn't be so hopeful that Trump was bullshitting the other day.
Trump is cowardly or stupid, or both. Is he backing down on any serious illegal alien deportation plan due to the riots? How does he not know that that farming and the hospitality industry employ a significant proportion, many millions, of illegal aliens? They cannot NOT be part of any consistent deportation program. If this is what he really thinks, Peak Stupidity and MAGA are done with him:
It's not just an impulsive tweet. Trump Directs ICE to Stop Raids in Agriculture, Hotel and Restaurant Industries — Focus Only on ‘Criminal’ Aliens
I'm encouraged, at least by the multiple hundreds of comments I've read, and that there are over 2,000 of them, under the article. This GP crowd is not the hard-core ZH or iSteve set. They are normies, let's call 'em. Yet 90% of the are PISSED.
Here at Peak Stupidity, we've been very hopeful about this existential issue, the ONLY reason besides just 2 Commie hags and a senile dirtbag to vote against, that we've cared so much about Trump becoming President. If he's really decided to drop the whole thing, than, yeah, he can drop dead. MAGA needs a replacement. It's time for our HR department to get busy.
I wish I was in a better mood for this last post of the week. At least I can read and commiserated with GP commenters and a few real-life friends.
That's it. Good night, Peakers. Have a relaxing Sunday.
PS: I wish Ann Coulter was visiting the White House at this moment.... armed. I just checked and she wrote her most recent column before this idiocy out of Trump.
PPS: I finally looked up what TACO stands wrt Donald Trump: Trump Always Chickens Out. That sounds about right at this point.

This past Monday, Peak Stupidity posted Riot Season '25: Again, brought to you by the ctrl-left. We wanted to say something about these events, but perhaps we shouldn't as we predicted these anti-Rule-of-Law, pro-Invasion riots wouldn't get too far, with 3 points made. Well, that was wrong, it seems. Is Trump actually backing down, or is that just his usual BSing done to ... throw people off guard... or something?
I did mention that, as with the BLM/antifa violence of 5 years back, this is not just some organic display, this time from upset Mexicans. There are people behind it, hiring protestors - pretty good pay too - I thought about it for a second there - supplying protest "materials", organizing, what-have-you. As a ZeroHedge commenter or two wrote, is this a "color revolution", not-so-instant Karma for what the US Deep State has done in the Middle East? Do we deserve it? That depends on who you mean by "we" - surely we MAGA types don't, but then maelstroms aren't generally fair.
Now, I read from ZeroHedge, that besides the usual Globalists, American Commies, and Communistas Migrantes, the Chinese CCP may have been putting in their 2
Well, see, the immigration invasion involves various and sundry ills, some that may feed on each other. The importation of so many millions of Chinese people means that among the majority well-meaning, hard-working, though-still-not-so American people, you're bound to have some, a few thousand, maybe more, coming in purely up to no good. Peak Stupidity witnessed the stupidity in Canada in which people are exposing Chinese police stations (What??!) established in Toronto. How do you even get such a thing? Why would you import evil that neither existed nor had any point in existing, in your nation only a few decades back. We have the same stupidity here. From ZH:
U.S. Congressional Republicans, led by Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), launched a formal investigation on Friday into the dark money networks and political affiliations of billionaire Neville Roy Singham, a U.S. national reportedly residing in Communist China.
Singham is suspected of funding far-left color revolutions in the U.S. with alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The inquiry focuses on Singham's possible role as a proxy in CCP propaganda operations and his potential legal exposure under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
Oversight Chairman Comer and Declassification Taskforce.
Chairwoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) threatened to subpoena the far-left billionaire if he refuses to cooperate with the investigation into potential ties in sparking social unrest through a network of revolutionary leftist non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The lawmakers allege Singham could be linked to the ongoing unrest and chaos in Los Angeles.
In a letter to the billionaire, House Republicans requested documents and information about his dark money network supporting leftist NGOs such as the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which reportedly played a part in the Los Angeles chaos.
Who knows? It's bad enough these people waste people's time with SinoProp in The Unz Review comments, and that the proprietor there is a sap in this respect. More serioiusly, any group who's got a beef with America or Americans is bound to have people already on the inside who can help useful idiots wreak destruction here.
Fighting against the violent Chicanos there with their Mexican flags (not great optics, IMO, CCP!) might be what we'd like to do, but we need to take aim against those fomenting these color revolution attempts behind the scenes. We have a lot of enemies, most of them already within the gates. That's why we need to deport them en masse, violent criminals, your standard Home Depot Guatemalans, Somalian parasites, Indian, Chinese, and all sorts of foreign university students, and so forth.
The protests are supposedly about stopping deportations. Yet they are also about destruction of society via violent movements. Those instigating the movements should have been deported themselves. The more anti-American groups we deport in large numbers, the smaller the efforts will be to fight deportations and to generally cause mayhem. This is an important battle.
I had more to write about the Anarcho-Tyranny of it all and also some news about actual efforts that the Trump Administration has been up to. However, I'll skip back to overseas in a post to come later today. Then, too, there IS plenty of other stupidity to write about... it will have to wait until next week.

Deportation Nation: Some bullshit out of President Trump... We sure hope!

In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Trump Big-Biz Stupidity
Just after Peak Stupidity posted the last discussion of Deportation plans and numbers, I saw the following tweet out of the President:
First of all, Trump is plain wrong in his statement. Americans WOULD DO and HAVE DONE this work before, but it just has to pay decent. Price out produce sometime, get a '25 price on a cucumber and a tomato, subtract out a big mark-up, do a little estimating on how many can be picked in an hour, and tell me that the labor is a BIG part of these "great" farmers' production costs. Then there is modern machinery with amazing electronics and machine vision, and remember the adage about "necessity being the mother of invention.
Then too.. NO! Just, NO! They are all criminals by definition, you dumbass! (This is directed at Trump.) If we deport every one of those gang members and violent criminals, we are now left with 10-12 million MORE illegal aliens than there were at the end of the Trump-45 term.
That's the reason that I don't like listening to the words out of this guy's mouth or the stupidity flying off his fingers. I read about what IS being accomplished, and I'm more than mildly encouraged. Then he has to say this. Is Trump just being his usual want-to-be-liked bullshitter, placating the Big Biz interests that don't want any serious number of deportations? I sure hope so. He just sounds like such a traitor to MAGA when he does this crap.
Then I remember his talk about a Big Beautiful Door in that Big Beautiful Wall that never got finished, from 8-9 years ago. "You can go out on your own, and just apply to come in LEEGULLLEE", Trump is NOT, unfortunately, the only one saying even nowadays. I sure hope that's a ploy too. "Ooops the entry app is down. It may be a few years.... or never."
Then, as the Administration has made war on universities and foreign students therenrolled, I was very happy about this other, albeit maybe small potatoes, avenue leading toward the reversal of the Population Replacement Programme. But ...
1/2 a million is a LOT! Peak Stupidity has our own views on China, which include seeing the place as only an economic enemy. Trump is more adversarial with the Chinese. Does he not see that if only one in a thousand of these people is a military spy, then that's 500 of them? (No, I forgot, he can't do numbers like that - Trump, it's 'A LOT".) Spread around the universities and national labs, they can really do some damage. Plus, how does this comport with what he's been saying?
Same thing - I really hope that Trump just said that as some mindless BS at a press conference because he didn't have anything in mind to say about the subject. That normally does not stop him from talking.
That's a lot of hope on our part. I see a lot of good going on, but it's very frustrating to hear and read anything out of this guy. You'll never know what kind of stupidity he'll slip in there. It's got to be frustrating for his own people too. Steven Miller and Tom Homan must be used to this, and they probably ignore this stupidity too. Trump may not be a man of action, but his people are this time around. I'd rather just find out what they've been doing and not hear the BS out of the boss.
Next time, we will post about some action being taken in Deportation Nation.

Deportation Nation: Goals and Activities Update
Posted On: Thursday - June 12th 2025 7:54PM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Trump
This is VDare's job, dangit! The reader must know by now how pissed your PS blogger is over the lack of that informative website that had been there for us for 2 decades. We'd have saved ourselves lots of effort getting the straight scoop, with lots of numbers and inside information, had the fatassed* tyrant Letitia James not waged lawfare against them. The last 6 months, or maybe right back to Trump's election win last November, would have been the best time in VDare's history!
We'll keep updating the reader with personally gathered info (at times) and from our various few favored websites on this most existential of issues. Here's Trump's Staff General**, one might call him, in the immigration war:
I had a short Steven Miller interview to show. Not only was I not able to find it on the video-hosting sites, I lost the tab here, search sucks in general now, and it sucks even WITHIN the Gateway Pundit site. That rant over, I can first say it's not the one about Steven MIller leaving the reporter "literally shaking', as is their style of juvenile feminine hype. (The only people I have EVER noticed literally shaking are in California, you know, in those videos taken during Richter 7.5 or higher earthquakes.)
OK, but I can go by memory. To a reporter whose name doesn't at all matter to me, Steven Miller talked about a goal of 3,000 illegal alien deportations daily to be reached, sometime soon. That's about a million a year, meaning, if Donald Trump can live 40 more years, and with the Constitution being, errrr, tweaked a bit, we can get rid of the likely 40 million of them. That's no good. Mr. Miller DOES understand the numbers though. He indicated in the interview that the number would have to go up from there.
I've heard a number of 1/2 a million of the Brandon/Mayorkas-invited 10-12 million being those hard-core criminals. It makes sense that the expulsion of those violent types is first priority, but it absolutely cannot be the end of this. Even, as per Mr. Miller and Trump's words at times, the 10-12 million recent "newcomers" cannot be the end of this. That would put us back to the US of '20, as far as the number of illegals, and the number of LEGAL entrants is not falling drastically (as it should), if at all, last I read. I really don't like hearing that continual talk that we will reverse the damage from Dark Brandon. It sets up the expectation that this is a fine goal.
Tom Homan, the Field General**, as we dub him, talks "collateral". He uses this wartime term to warn hopefully the illegals themselves - though they are not likely to know the word "collateral" or any other English words - that if you are around during an arrest of a hard-core criminal, well, as a criminal yourself, you're fair game. That's fine, but I think that too sets up a bad expectation: We are not out to get you purely because you are here illegally. We should be!
Those are just the words though, perhaps said to put the press at ease slightly. No, they're never at ease when you threaten the Population Replacement Programme, but it's a strategy, I think. I hope it's that. Don't yet let on to everyone the real intention of ramping this up into a full Operation Wetback 2.0.***
Yet, general deportations ARE happening. Gateway Pundit, as much as it takes to put up with their juvenile hype, is very good on this immigration issue, so more from that site a week and a half back was ICE Conclude Largest Immigration Enforcement to Date-Almost 1,500 Arrested in MA, Over Half With Criminal Convictions. That half of them had criminal convictions is important, but I wouldn't care if 2% of them had. That should be the point. You're a criminal by definition. That's just one story on just one day. Were it a story of a raid like this in EVERY STATE on the average weekly, now that would be at the rate that actually works! That's about 10,000 per day.
We've written before that we'd like to see numbers of 10,000 daily deportations. That's yet still only 3 million yearly deportations, meaning a reversal of ONLY the Brandon crowd (as a tally - not necessarily from the Brandon surge - it doesn't matter too much****) during Trump's term, and dozen year steady program, were that allowed to happen. However, that does not take into account self-deportations, something discussed before. Based on President Eisenhower's 1954 Operation Wetback results, 85% - 90% of the people who left self-deported. That only works if our deportation program is continued with steady numbers and with lots of publicity (I don't see THAT as a problem) unrelentingly.
Think of what 10,000 people a day actually feels like. I've lived in a "small town". If you recall old rock singer Johnny Cougar's Small Town from his song - somewhere near his melon camp, IIRC - of Seymour Indiana, I can tell you from driving through long ago that it wasn't exactly what I call a small town. (I was enough of a fan to divert a couple of hundred miles on one of my long road trips to... end up buying a hamburger and being told at the root beer stand that he lives in S. Carolina. ) I think of 500 to a couple of thousand as a small town. My memory is pretty good, as wiki says***** the town had 15-odd thousand residents then (and over 21,000 now).
One can see how big the numbers must be. A number of people that would fill a whole medium sized town - and unfortunately DO - must be sent home every day or two... for YEARS... or just GO home. They came in over half a century, most of them in the last quarter century. This will take a big effort. It sound daunting.
What can make it less daunting is taking away all the incentives for these illegals to stay here, again promoting self-deportation. Trump and his people have been working on that too. The States that are not pro-PRP must do their parts too. Can we stop the free education, "free" healthcare at taxpayers' and insured people's expense, and all that? It helps if the US Feral gov't will not threaten you if you take away the freebies. The current Fed-Gov may be a breath of fresh air in this respect.
I'm have hope that the talk by Steven Miller, Tom Homan, and even Trump(ha!) is well thought out. Per a strategy, they may want to state their goals as just exporting hard-core criminals, then move on to "we're reversing the damage done by Brandon", and then just keep on trucking...
The ctrl-left is taking a stand early on with these riots. They are trying to go all Barney Fife here, wanting to nip this PRP-resistance in the bud. Nip it, Gavin, nip it!
This new Summer of rioting plan has already become bigger than I'd figured just a couple of days back. Let's hope the President and the American people can push through this, keeping the deportation program not only continuing but expanding to what it must become. We'll have more to come with various heartwarming stories of Deportation Nation.
* Again, we're not trying to be mean here, but "fatassed", or "fat-ass", if you wish, as applied to this particular government official, is de rigueur per the AP style guide - who are WE to argue?

Sweden: We told you so

Note: It's the American immigration stupidity that Peak Stupidity cares about above all - above all other nations' stupidity of this sort and above all other stupidity here too. This post was on-deck though, so if I don't write it tonight, I'll never get to it. It could be a lesson to us too.
Katie Hopkins is worried. She's a writer* for the UK Daily Mail. She's a woman too. (Well, I mean, you can't just assume...) As is often the case, women worry about women things, often with no regard to any other aspects of these problems. She's worried about the lives of women in Sweden.
If you are thinking that this is about the fate of the girls of ABBA in this later stage of their lives, you just may be thinking of 1970s or '80s Sweden, in which that might just be the most important news. That was a different country. Compassionate people of all sorts, lots of women and their boyfriends who are in it to get laid mostly, have changed the country since the time of ABBA. (Agnetha, Benni, Bjorn, and Anni-Frid, though one could change the order somewhat - 4 permutations is all. Combinations, maybe(?))
No, there's some serious stuff that Katie Hopkins is worried about. You gotta figure from the long headline - Where females fear to tread: KATIE HOPKINS reports from Sweden, the Scandi-lib paradise where terrified women have vanished from the streets and a conspiracy of silence and self-censorship on immigration buries the truth. Well that sucks. Life can be sad there and not in the way described by the forlorn lover in the ABBA song below.
I didn't come to Sweden for the riots. Or because of Trump. In fact, I was supposed to be here in December — before airline strikes stood in my way.Why would Trump have anything to do with Katie Hopkins going to Sweden? Whatever... there's a whole lot of misery of Swedish women described here (nothing about the men), and I can't paste it all in. A 12 y/o was raped by a 45 y/o, both immigrants, so I guess that's a double negative or something, women have to run home from work for their safety, this single lady's apartment got broken into, her laptop stolen and her car keys, then the car (makes sense), and grenades, yeah, you find them set in trash cans for some purpose or other.
I came because I was asked. Repeatedly.
Swedish women reaching out by email, by letter, to quietly show me what has become of their country.
This is in one of the "go" suburbs, so imagine what the "no-go suburbs" are like!
She doesn't want her picture to be seen now. Not in case the migrants attack again, but because the feminists will come after her and hound her as a racist for speaking out. The migrant men scare her. But it is Swedish women who have silenced her.Hey, Katie Hopkins, guess what? YOU'RE! A! FEMINIST! You're very much a part of this attitude.
The (almost all Feminist) women of Sweden over the last quarter century have been so compassionate, pushing those non-compassionate men and the few mean stodgy traditional Conservatives to chillax and let these poor refugees come in from all over the 3rd World. They really couldn't have picked worse places than the Moslem world, Africa, and, yeah Moslem Africa to invite them from either. That's being REALLY REALLY compassionate. Moreso, they didn't really need to
The problem with this feminine compassion is that, without perspective, imagination, and foresight, you don't understand that maybe, just maybe, those old stodgy Conservatives who didn't want these poor refugees coming in by the hundreds of thousands have compassion too. They might have even more of it, likely some compassion for the future generations of Swedes, who might really have enjoyed growing up in the safe, quiet, peaceful White environment as they did.
Later I went back to walk the no-go suburbs, ending up back in the centre of the town. A week earlier this place was torched and looted as the world looked on.What a brave reporter is this Katie Hopkins. Unfortunately, she's had to notice some things. But "this place was torched", passive voice, as the world looked on. I'm not sure what Katie would have had "the world" do about it. I have some ideas of my own...
I wondered what was strange, besides the weird calm. And realised it was that I was the only woman in the place. Everyone else was young, African and male. Speaking Arabic. Hanging about, utterly without purpose.
Frustrated, I asked a few of them what they were doing, what was the point, what they would ever achieve by standing about. The mum in me was furious.Now, that's not nice at all! Yet, Miss Hopkins proceeds to tell us readers that this is not about Moslem, Christian, young or old. All the women, like young Swedish Lucy, are scared. All the scary people, where DO they all come from?
'F*ck off, you white woman whore, go suck your mum,' they replied, and proceeded to demonstrate what they did to their 'little white girlfriends'.
I left saddened. Saddened that in a country so proud of women's rights, that leads the way on maternity and female equality, pockets of life like this exist.Katie Hopkins is either really stupid, or, failing that, too much of a proud Feminist to connect the dots. Had women not been in Swedish politics and voting, none of this would have happened. Some men with ACTUAL compassion and wisdom would have stopped this invasion of foreigners after a few rapes and a few hand grenade explosions or even before.
Here, she just couldn't help herself:
When Trump turned the world's attention to Sweden by clumsily referring to the effects of mass-migration on what used to be seen as the most liberal country on earth, the country was ready and waiting to blow.Trump has been quite right about what's happened in Sweden. Still, speaking clumsily(?) is bad. Being told to go suck your Mom is apparently less clumsy.
I would love to tell Katie Hopkins "I told you so!" This doesn't work with women though. "What does that even mean?!"
I really like this next ABBA song and the whole Greatest Hits album, with only one song a bit too sappy to be played in front of people without embarrassment - Nina, Pretty Ballerina. This band put together a number of hits albums. This is the one with one couple kissing on the park bench, while the other 2 band members, on the back, don't seem to be getting along. Originally, the song was from the March 1973-released album Ring, Ring (Good title song too!) It was originally sung in German, but released later in English in English speaking countries like
Now, in this duet, the girl singer is pretty sad. It's like this:
Day is dawning and I must go.Bjorn and Bennie wrote the song. The male part of the duet is by Bjorn, and the female part is both of the girls. Yeah, the song's #SAD, but not as #SAD as the modern lyrics would have it, something about getting raped twice this week and nearly blown to smithereens by a hand grenade... uhhhh, so anyway, enjoy the old European world of a half century ago, even if only in your head....
You're asleep but still I'm sure, you'll know
why it had to end this way.
You and I had a groovy time,
but I told you somewhere down the line
you would have to find me gone
I just have to move along...

Riot Season '25: Again, brought to you by the ctrl-left
Posted On: Monday - June 9th 2025 8:20PM MST
In Topics: Commies Immigration Stupidity Trump Race/Genetics ctrl-left
... more of our usual
Peak Stupidity can't cover all the news or present a continually updating set of headlines like GateWay Pundit**. The anti-criminal-detention riots going on in Los Angeles is THE big story, I suppose, so we should discuss it a bit, especially since we've got a lot of immigration stories to present this week.
The ctrl-left is always up for causing mayhem for the purpose of plain destruction of society in general, but if they can put pressure on and distract President Trump and rile up their voters against him, that's an additional good reason. The combination BLM/antifa riots allegedly on behalf of some worthless Black! reprobate 5 years ago were a challenge to the Trump-45 Administration. He could have called out the Guard then and been called a tyrant, or not and let billions of destruction happen and distraction of any strategy Trump may have had then (not much)
It was a lose/lose for Trump, as America still had a high level of Black! worship in "us". That the chosen cause for the riots happened in Minneapolis, a city of formerly (we hope!) suicidally nice White people helped keep the excuse alive... all over the world even.
The whole '20 SOPP (Summer Of Peacful Protests) worked out pretty well for the Commie ctrl-left and Globalists behind the scenes in all respects. (Well, other than those 3 bastards getting expertly shot by young hero Kyle Rittenhouse, that is.) This time, I don't think this will be the case. Let me bring up 3 reasons, and there are probably more:
1) Los Angeles is not Minneapolis. In this case, diversity might really be a strength, as perverse and stupid that normally sounds. Southern Cal has got to be majority Hispanic, but there are dozens of big groups of other ethnicities. You name it - I can't, but say, Chinese, Black Africans*** Laotians, Armenians, I don't know, places you've never heard of probably have enough people in LA to have their own ethnic ski clubs! These people might even be composed of quite a few illegal immigrants, but they don't necessarily cotton to these cholos and their Mexican flags out there... and the destruction. (Think rooftop Koreans.)
Plenty of Hispanics there, even the many or most(?) who ARE illegal are not the ungrateful America-haters that you see out in the streets. Most want to have a peaceful family life and make money. This is not to say they they too shouldn't be sent home too.
Moreover, these people aren't suckers for sob stories about poor, poor would-be valedictorians, like White people are. The sob stories don't work with them, not unless it's their own tribe there in ICE detention, awaiting deportation.
2) Many stupid Americans fell for the poor Black! man with the breathing difficulties story. The video of what really happened - there's a whole movie out there, for cryin' out loud - but the useful idiots of the ctrl-left did not want to learn. They were happy to have a cause, never mind the truth. Poor, poor, Black! people...
This time, the ctrl-left tried running with an even more worthless and violent man - and yes, that IS possible - than George Floyd with the TdA gang member that they wanted to have brought back from a Salvadoran prison. I mean, yeah, George Floyd stuck a gun in a pregnant woman's belly one time and passed around fake bills, and may never have had a real job, but then you want us to all rally around a foreign alien rapist and murderer this time? That was asking a lot of the public. So, they've switched to rallying around foreigners detained and slated for deportation. They've got one more obvious reason to make this their cause, as we'll discuss in the immigration posts.
Unfortunately for the ctrl-left. Americans are strongly against being replaced by foreigners. It doesn't help when the riots involve the flying of foreign flags - it makes the people look like invaders or something... not a good look.
3) Trump-47 is not Trump-45. He's learned a lot from last time around, his mistakes in not putting down the Commie-instigated rioting being one of them. I think most Americans would like to see him crack some heads this time. Whatever the legalities are, we've played by the rules as the ctrl-left doesn't, holding thousands of Political Prisoners for years and trying to hound and ruin their opponents with lawfare and then trying to kill them.
Make no mistake - and hopefully I haven't here ;-}, there are evil nefarious people behind this rioting that don't really care about those specific illegal aliens in the ICE house. It's about societal destruction for them, working behind the scenes... very Commie-ish ... as it was 5 years ago and also 60. We'll get to that in another post.

Irony: Big Gov California politician will learn the difficulty of fighting Big Gov.

Gateway Pundit had the headline shown above, so I couldn't resist their post. President Trump is attempting to withhold Federal funding for California Universities because they are still pushing the transgender business, in defiance of Presidential E.O.s.
Now there's a whole can of worms I gotta open. E.O.'s shouldn't be a thing because the President isn't a King. The Legislative Branch spends the money too, right? Then, these programs - funding of State universities - are unConstitutikonal to begin with. Welllll, but since the programs ARE in place, and the President administers them, if he decides the funding of BLT-G++ isn't part of Congress' intention, this administrating can go along the lines of "Cut that out, or the money stops!"
Yet California House Speaker Robert Rivas wants the American-taxpayer-funded California genderbender programs to continue, and he thinks California should withhold money from the Feds in retaliation for any cuts in university support by Trump. There's some logic to it... the kind one sees out of toddlers having temper tantrums. "I want it! I want that money! It's mine!"
If he is serious about this, Cal Speaker Rivas will run into what I see at the #1 evil out of 5 listed of the US Income Tax. In an old post of ours of the Morning Constitutional series - Part 3 on Amendment XVI, we discussed 5 evils of the income tax, though some bright commenter might have some others we've forgotten.
That #1 evil is described as "The FLOW of the money". Here's our explanation of the problem, and you can just substitute California for our randomly-picked Arkansas:
With the income tax, if you picture a scenario in which the people or State government want to fight the Feds, how will that work? The money already flows directly from paychecks or checks for money still "owed" of individuals, to the Feds. It is doled back out to the States and people in massive amounts in various ways.I am pretty sure that this piece-o'-work Rivas is a strong supporter of soaking the rich... well, OK, Middle Class using the Feral Income Tax system. California itself has a pretty impressive version of its own. From the GP post:
Got a disagreement with the Feds, Arkansas? Tough shit. Do you want that highway money, that welfare money, those business incentives? Better get your mind right, son. "Yeah, well, we'll withhold OUR money. Uhh, we'll get everyone in Arkansas to get his employer to stop the withholding and then assure them that we will fight for them in IRS Federal tax court, and then ... OK, OK, how high, Sir?!!"
Upon reading this [A statement from the Whitehouse about "not funding the demise of our country"], the speaker of the California State Assembly, Robert Rivas, erupted in anger and threatened various responses, including withholding federal taxes from the federal government.Did you ever think about how that could even happen, Senor Rivas? You Big Government types set this system up over the last century and a decade. The implementation of periodic withholding, back during WWII, took away the last good options. Seriously, whaddya' gonna do?
“This is unconstitutional and vindictive,” Rivas wrote on BlueSky. “We’re the nation’s economic engine and the largest donor state, and deserve our fair share.”
“I’ll use every legal and constitutional tool available to defend CA — we must look at every option, including withholding federal taxes.”
Irony, hypocrisy, I'm too tired to figure out what this really is, but I had another example that was supposed to be in this post. That'll come Monday, and it'll fit in great with another immigration-invasion week, which will have lots of good, yes, GOOD news. Stayed tuned, Peakers. Have a happy Sunday!

Roots ZeroHedge on Gold Confiscation 2.0
Posted On: Friday - June 6th 2025 1:01PM MST
In Topics: Commies Websites US Police State Preppers and Prepping Economics US Feral Government The Future
I've written before that ZeroHedge was my favorite web site back in '10 -'12. Then, I just realized, I'd used the phrasing "Roots ZeroHedge" before too, this year even in the post Roots ZeroHedge post explains the Rock & Hard Place thing. (I guess that's why it came to mind.)
I especially enjoy the words of the comments on ZeroHedge. There are still a handful whose names/avatars I remember from back when, but most of these people may be the next generation, having been toddlers when their Dads were pecking away, explaining to Mom, "I'll be at the table in a minute - there's someone whose wrong on the internet!"
ZeroHedge has plenty of dud posts these days, since they've branched out, but The Next Gold Confiscation: What It Could Look Like... And How To Avoid It reminded me of the olde days. I learned a lot back then, and the way things are looking, all that great discussion in the comments* may pay off later than I'd thought then, but sooner than I'd like it to now. (I got to get me a side-scanner sonar first... or something.)
Yeah, that Socialist, Commie-loving bastard, or was it Communist, Socialist-loving bastard, made that move to ATTEMPT to confiscate gold from Americans 92 years ago in order to enable the Feral Gov't to create and spend more money. I say attempt, because, per ZH comments and my own thoughts written here before, I doubt they got most of it.
I've written about the many news stories I'd read about in the 1980's and earlier about "100 ounces of gold found in walls of old farmhouse", or the floorboards, or out in the yard, whatever. The government couldn't easily find the stuff, where you bought it, who you bought it from, etc. 1933, '34, it was a different time, you understand ... [/Old black man reminiscence] Additionally, were I the nephew that inherited that old rusted-tin-roofed farmhouse on the 20 acres, and I was the one who pulled apart the rotting floorboards, well it wouldn't have been no news story, I can tell you.** There was probably a lot of that.
Well, this post by one Nick Giambruno via InternationalMan.com, in this decade-and-a-half later ZH article since the time this was common there, engendered lots of discussion in the comments that brought me that far back. I seem to remember that the posts were mostly by "Tyler Durden" himself (or their selves) back in the day, but I recall they made more sense. Normally comments are better than the articles/posts themselves on most (MOST, not ALL!) websites, and here in the year '25, well, yeah, they rip Mr. Giambruno a new one from the get-go. See, his solution for those worried about the Feral Gov't looking for, finding, and taking one's precious metals, aka, real money is:
How to Protect YourselfYeah, own some paper that says you own gold, paper that the Government can nullify a lot easier than it can send enough Feral agents over to your
The good news? There are practical steps you can take to avoid this kind of expropriation.
Sure, you could renounce your US citizenship. But let’s be honest—that’s a drastic move and not realistic for most people.
Thankfully, there’s a far more practical solution. You can do it right from your living room.
Own gold in a Roth IRA.
Because the government will not tax the Roth IRA. 🤣 Anyway, America is broke, most people do not own gold, and those that do, have tragically lost it in boating accidents.
The tragic boating accident theme is classic olde timey ZeroHedge.
Well, I could read the comments for hours, so let me just insert a pair of comments that bring me back to the fun of ZeroHedge of yesteryear.
Besnook:
I have dementia. I don't know if I own gold and have no idea where I put it if I did.Jaycurve:
What are you talkin about officer…those police came and took it yesterday….well tarnation you tellin me those fellas weren’t police officers…you better get after em real fast…yeah they looked just like you two fellas.There's plenty of great prepper-style discussion and other "news you can use".
There's so much lower-hanging fruit that the Feral Gov't can steal that I'm not sure they wouldn't have awakened too many people by the time they went for the physical PMs. It was ZeroHedge back then where I read - in comments, I'm sure - about a possibility that they first may not quite steal anything but may make more rules about "Yeah, it's a minor accounting thing, but this obscure law just requires one to keep half his 401(k) in T-bonds. No big deal. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it." Then, in general it's a whole lot easier for them to steal the
At the end of the day, the great ZeroHedge commenters will have one last rallying cry, "Gold, bitchez!!" Yes, that classic comment can be found under this post, but it sure took 'em a while.
* I have never been signed up to comment, then or now. I can IMAGINE how much time I'd have spent. I don't think I'd have been employed today, honestly!
** Remember the story of the California couple that found, not just 100's of gold coins, but some of great numismatic value, on their property? What... just why... how could you even IMAGINE it'd be a good idea to inform the Communist Government of California about this? If you're that naive, you don't DESERVE that money. Did you take yourself for the next Ronald Reagan, trusting the Congress on the enforcement side of the Amnesty bill?

Blundering toward Defcon 5?
Posted On: Thursday - June 5th 2025 10:10PM MST
In Topics: The Russians Trump The Neocons World Political Stupidity
Peak Stupidity has reported on almost nothing and personally not kept up with the Ukraine/Russia war since early on. Our opinion is that the America Government Neocons should not have instigated it 11 years ago, we should not have been involved, and that all having happened, President Trump should keep a promise and get us uninvolved.
Donald Trump's ego has had him wanting to be the peacemaker that put the whole world at peace. Take the Middle East, please! Come on! American Presidents have been trying to "solve" the problems there since, in my own memory, Jimmy Carter. He thought he had it licked. That was almost a half century ago.
Then, Jimmy Carter and the rest of them with the hubris to think they could settle things did not write The Art of the Deal. Trump has fancied himself a great dealmaker in his businesses - perhaps he was - and figured he could do some great deals as President. Really, as far as the Bully Pulpit and international diplomacy goes, that's what you want, a good dealmaker. I was pretty impressed myself seeing Trump in action, almost as if in a reality TV show, during that Zelensky press conference 3 months back.
The American President still has some pull, especially regarding wars that America pours money into. However, obviously Trump's dealmaking on the Ukraine/Russia, with all that pull he has, has gone off the rails. Peak Stupidity has gotten interested at this point because the drone attack on those Russian nuclear bombers* has even us pretty worried about ensuing escalation.
A friend sent me a short video with some discussion of this attack on the latest (can't find it on yt right now) podcast by Irishman George Galloway, who advertises his videos as MOATS, Mother Of All Talkshows. One major point his discussion hinges on is that the Ukraine could not have carried out these attacks without help from American satellites for guidance. I don't know enough to dispute this. Assuming this, Mr. Galloway summed things up pretty simply:
If President Trump actually knew about this attack beforehand, he is pretty heavily on the side of The Ukraine at this point. One couldn't expect any more diplomacy out of Vladimir Putin and Russia. Also, it'd make Trump a liar (and no longer just a bragging bullshitter). If President Trump didn't know, then he is not really in charge as Commander-in-Chief, seeing as NeoCon Senators Graham and Blumenthal and others must have helped make this attack successful behind the President's back. Whatever diplomatic efforts he's made will be meaningless if Trump's not in a position to guarantee what promises come out of his mouth.
What would one expect the Russians to do at this point? Do these NeoCons really believe we're (via the Ukraine) going to destroy this major power without any pain? By pain, I mean some real destruction. How reckless are these NeoCons? Who do they really work for?
We will see what kind of retaliation will ensue. With a significant part (40%?) of their nuclear bomber fleet destroyed, perhaps the Russians will figure they might as well use the rest of them.
With the benefit of hindsight, historians have often wondered how Europe could have blundered into the huge waste of men's lives that was World War I. Couldn't have it been prevented easily enough?
Regarding the Cold War, even in hindsight, it's not easy to figure how that 40 year stand-off in Europe and in proxy locations on other continents could have been avoided. Communists of the 2nd World** were not going to stop trying to corrupt and convert one country after another, and the non-Communist Free (1st) World worked to contain it. That there were thousand of ballistic missiles, sub-based missiles and on-alert bombers that could be used in anger very quickly made this period a time of general worry. Something really bad could happen at any time, if someone slipped up.
Thanks to President Reagan, Maggie Thatcher, the old Pope Paul II from Poland, and millions of American military men, engineers, and technicians, the Cold War was put to an end just over 35 years ago. The Soviet Union Russkies became simply Russians again. The threat of nuclear war was drastically reduced.
What has been done since then? Instead of enjoying the "peace dividend" and our fleeting Sole Superpower status, America has slowly boxed non-Communist Russia into a corner with NATO, an organization that was obsolete as soon as the Cold War ended. Now, we've got crazy NeoCons recklessly bent on destruction of Russia, seemingly not caring that Russia is still a heavily nuclear-armed nation.
You thought that Doomsday Clock and Defcon stuff is only something from old movies and the memories of older Americans? It can come back. To think that these blundering moves toward another Defcon 5, happening in front of our eyes, can be seen as stupidity even in foresight!
During these Cold War high Defcon level times, at least you figured smart people would de-escalate things. Now, where are all the smart people? I don't see ANY smart people involved.
Peak Stupidity may be the least of our worries.
Good night. Sleep tight.
* They've been exposed due to a treaty with the US to, yeah, prevent nuclear war with more visibility.
** That term wasn't used much, but it was implied that the Communist Bloc - and China - were the 2nd World, to explain why the 3rd World was called that.

Roger Devlin on the White Fertility Destruction wrought by Feminism
Posted On: Tuesday - June 3rd 2025 7:19PM MST
In Topics: Feminism The Future
I came across the fantastic 36 minute F. Roger Devlin talk below somewhat serendipitously. I'd read Jared Taylor's enthusiastic report from the 4th Awakening conference, this one held this past late May in Helsinki, Finland. This pro-White, anti-Population Replacement Programme conference had the theme, this time, of "The rising tide of color".
There are 5 videos of the speakers embedded* in Mr. Taylor's post, out of the 7 he discussed. I want to later watch 3 more, including the talk by Mr. Taylor himself.
Mr. Devlin had not known of the theme, but anything related to both the PPR and reduced White fertility fits right in. The only thing is, Mr. Devlin used Finland as an example - it both being a place where the PPR is not yet fully in progress AND, well, that's where the conference was - to give a talk on his explanation for low fertility without the factor of high immigration. He DID discuss the immigration issue very briefly, but I ask the potential viewer to remember that this first 3 minutes (including his intro.) is not why I called the talk fantastic. It was the discussion of the evil of Feminism.
Before, I go on, it's only been a year since our last post, but if I ever get back to the series on "The Depopulocalypse", remember, I'm not against it. There's just the one big caveat I've got. The other posts were Part 1 - - Part 2, and an Anecdotal Interlude. Those posts were put up Sept. 8th, Oct. 3rd, and Nov 16th of '23, respectively. Yikes! I think I've lost a few readers there.
However, caveat NOT aside, as Mr. Devlin notes in his intro., he explains in the rest of the talk that the culprit responsible for low White fertility is Feminism. He's quite clear about this. I see nothing to argue with him on it either. Without much ado, only a few remarks, I'll let the reader see if he agrees that F. Roger Devlin is right on the money.
His explanation hinges on the mismatch between men and women, as Feminism has obscured their traditional roles, the ones that made the big Father-supported decent-sized nuclear family doable and a source of satisfaction all around. You've read of this from Steve Sailer and others, I'm sure: Ironically, all those women making the big bucks now find it harder than ever to obtain traditional female happiness, as their nature** has them desirous of provider men, meaning those making more than they do. How in the heck is THAT supposed to work? This is extremely dysgenic, even if we were to have higher fertility. (Should we, under these conditions? It's all part of the same problem though...)
I had not ever heard of a "Family Wage", as that's how long it's been since the term's been used. As a Libertarian, I would not like to see anything mandated, as much as it might help reverse things. However, it didn't have to be, back in the time when people understood a "family wage" was something good, and laws weren't necessary. That didn't work after the ctrl-left pushed and pushed Feminism - there were multiple waves, see?
OK, I hope you enjoy this. I'll probably watch it again soon.
* All these videos, including Mr. Devlin's talk, are on the Odysee site. I got somewhat lucky figuring out how to embed this one, and from now on, any Odysee hosted videos, or I sure hope so.
** I almost forgot since yesterday - Mr. Devlin is clear that the White Euro nature and sex-differing instincts are different from that of, say, Africans.

New York Times Graphical Stupidity... or, yeaaaahh, evil
Posted On: Tuesday - June 3rd 2025 10:59AM MST
In Topics: General Stupidity Pundits Media Stupidity Science
Note: You must say that "yeaaaahh" in your head in Steve Sailer's interview voice. It works better that way.
Peak Stupidity and probably most readers here would have read or heard from Semi-Deplorable pundit Steve Sailer on his revelations of the George Floyd Martyrdumb having resulting in lots more Black! deaths than the averages before that fatal date with Fentanyl Dustiny.*
These deaths have been in the form of more black-on-black murders and more fatal car wrecks. We, based on the NOTICING by Steve Sailer, can determine that both were due to the same factor, the lack of police presence. The cops spent even MOAR time at the doughnut shops. Well, your Peak Stupidity lead blogger is no sycophant and big supporter of the "men in blue". (Note the lack of a blue & black stripes emblem up top.) Too large a share of the police are about the same level of crooked as George Floyd was, yet, black men seem to act worse without a strong police presence. That's yet another observation by Mr. Sailer that I can confirm.
Anyway, I've heard about this and seen the graphs enough times now. This post is about graphs themselves more than the data and revelations by Mr. Sailer. The NY Times has gotten into the Black! Death Increase story and pretty much butchered it due to erroneous/misleading graphs.**
See, Steve Sailer really hates it, and rightly so, when the Lyin' Press he reads come out with stories that he's already looked into in depth and butcher them. The question he and his commenters (and the old REAL Deplorables in his Unz Review iSteve Open Threads) have is do the NY Times writers incompetently "butcher" these graphs or is it malice. I'd put it as stupidity v evil, a contest of competing factors that we witness often.
Let me get to the graphs, because in iSteve's posts about it, I think there's something regarding the graphing technique that neither he nor any commenter has gotten straight. The first post (both hankfully not paywalled) was Happy 5th Anniversary of the Racial Reckoning. He pointed out stupidity/evil of this misleading graph:
His follow up post, written after he wrote a letter to the "Newspaper of Record" corrections dept. (the writer or editor, I guess), is about their attempt at a correction. That was to done I guess to both save being eviscerated even more on AntiSocial Media and placate iSteve. He's spent a lot of time on this and gotten it right. I'd be rightly pissed and doggedly get on these liars or incompetents. He wrote The NYT Corrected Its Ludicrous George Floyd Homicide Graph ..., but nobody is happy with the correction. They just took out the freaking vertical George Floyd Martyrdumb line to show that "We dunno. Shit's gotten bad." (Graphical displays of burrito coverings inventory are hopefully forthcoming.) I'm not even going to show this one. Just picture the above without the Floyd line and label.
Mr. Sailer assumes incompetence, but he's a nice guy. He writes out of (in, actually) a closet and has a nice dog. About the initial NYT graph, he wrote:
The usually competent graph designers at the NYT placed the dashed vertical line indicating Floyd’s death after the 29% increase in homicides in 2020, when the large majority of the explosion in murders followed the cultural revolution of May 25, 2020 as the cops retreated to the donut shop.(I'll forgive the lazy-assed spelling of doughnuts just this once.)
Mr. Sailer, from his 2nd post, after the "correction" (he also pasted in his nice, as usual, letter to the Editor):
Your graphic artist made the obvious mistake of creating a line graph that attributes all homicides of 2020 to January 1, 2020, so the vertical dashed line for Floyd's death follows rather than precedes the big surge.A " cosmetically improved version" of his much more revealing ~ weekly data with bi-monthly (every-8-weekly) tic marks - graph is this:
In contrast, here's my graph of weekly CDC mortality data of black homicide and motor vehicle deaths from the beginning of 2018 to mid-November 2024 (the CDC imposes a 6 month lag on reporting murders and car crashes to let coroners have time to do their work).
OK, look, I've written this before. It's 1/4 of a CENTURY into the 3rd Millennium now. Can we quit writing, and especially SAYING "twenty twenty x" yet?! His labels on his x-axis would be a little cleaner without extra characters. [/micro-rant]
Here's the problem in the first place. The data of deaths compiled by the NY Times are for deaths at end-of-year. I can see where you would want a cleaner graph, only yearly than Mr. Sailer's one. Here's where the 2nd stupidity v evil question comes in. (I'll get to the 1st last.) Did they deliberately go with yearly data to obscure the important point of Steve Sailer's? More importantly, did they make the graph with end-of-year tic marks WITHOUT labels purposefully to "fact check" any correlation that Mr. Sailer made? Was that stupidity (incompetence) or evil (lying)?
I read plenty of comments by people generally seeing the problem. The Floyd Martyrdumb happened on May 25th of '20, 40% of the way through that leap-year. (Yeah, to get more accurate.) That's where the vertical line is, so "What's the problem again?" - NY Times writers. Yeah, but the deaths for all of '20 are at the '20 tic mark, which most people would figure is the start of the year. This is the point that nobody seems to have made well... till now.*** It's not just about the resolution of the time-scale.
Obviously, Mr. Sailer's graph fixes the problem. If you want to be truthful, you just paste that in. However, and I'm being very generous to the NYT here, if you want that cleaner, simpler graphs, you can either do this:
Or this:
I cropped out both the main title**** and the source information from these 2. The latter would be the same, of course, but the big main title might have to change, which is a real problem...
I like the 2nd one better. With my 1st, I can see readers arguing (no, not you guys, NTY readers), "No, he died a year later. You got it wrong." No, that's the end of '19, see? May of '20 is after that, 40% of the way to the end of '20.
On the 2nd, there'd be no such argument. I suppose one might argue "The deaths for '20 are way higher!" No, but that the start of '20. See the '21 tic mark and data points? They reflect the data for the year '20, which is the start of '21, is it not?
Or, they don't care and are just evil liars. Let me get to that 1st point of asking the question, stupidity (incompetence) v evil (lying)?
From the very beginnning could the NYT writers not have made some effort to search for (or on X – I don’t partake, so would they very obviously have heard of iSteve?) the info that Mr. Sailer has written and spoken about HUNDREDS of times? Could the writers have possibly tried and missed getting his information? There’s censorship by the “fact check” sites, in which the true stuff is relegated to page 8 of search results, but really, could they not have easily found the weekly graphs?
If the NTY purposely ignored Steve Sailer and just made their own graphs anyway, I’d call that evil already from the get-go. After that, one could lie with graphs or else just let incompetence take the ball from there.
PS: As commenter Ralph L. noted on TUR, a bar graph would be best for this data, which is just yearly totals. However, then you can't make the point about the Floyd mark very easily. (Put a line between the '19 and '20 bars, I guess...)
* Does it come in dust form, I mean if you like it that way? I dunno... I'm tryin' to make a pun here so cut me some slack.
** In this case, they didn't get into the car wrecks, but displayed police shootings, as that was what their narrative was apparently about. (I don't read the NYT, with VERY rare exceptions. THIS is why.)
*** That's just my opinion - maybe I didn't get the gist of some of the commenters' writing. There will be more comments too, so ...
*** I like that method, having a Main title and then a sub-title that states something about the numbers being measured. In this way, you don't need a label for the vertical axis.
********************************
[UPDATED 06/03 evening:] Fixed typo (40%, not 49% in one place, noted that the 2nd curve was police killings by adding (what is now) the 2nd footnote. Also, iSteve's data is weekly, but just the tic marks are every-8-weekly. Finally, I noted that a bar graph is best for data that is only good to the year, as one can't assume anything from the graph shape between years.

The Kovid Kids
Posted On: Monday - June 2nd 2025 6:49PM MST
In Topics: Kung Flu Stupidity
This post is sort of timely. I don't write that due to our many dozens of posts about all types of Kung Flu PanicFest madness having come out fast and furious 5 years ago. It happens that I wrote a comment under the very last post in reply to Adam Smith with an anecdote (of mine) about not taking a doctor's worries about my boy's slightly late speech development seriously. Then, I had a conversation with a lady who told me that her boy was one of the Kovid Kids. She was referring to speech development problems.
Our full disclosure policy says I should add that this kid has some other minor problem with his tongue (longer on one side than the other). I dunno. However, she brought up the problem of speech development in "the Kovid Kids". At 6 y/o now, he is considered a Kovid Kid.
What? I'd never before heard of the term. However, 5 years ago Peak Stupidity posted discussion about possible problems for children we might see in the future due to the ubiquitous face-masking.* Oops, it's the future now. My post was one of a 12-parter: Scenes from the Kung Flu Summer re-Panic - Part 6.
If you recognize this and the next picture - they're in reverse order from the original post - you have a great memory. The Kung Flu's been bery bery good to you. Remember the times - parents, well, the Kung Flu Kompliant ones - would wear face masks while pushing their little ones in the baby carriage. I don't want to remember if they put any masks on the babies - toddlers had 'em. Here's what I wrote then, 4.8 years back:
Can you imagine what the little ones are thinking, though? If you are a 2 y/o toddler, you may have solid memories only going back 1/2 a year or so. You will think this is the way the world has always been. Adults don't show their noses and mouths in public, in the same way that they don't show their pee-pee's and ass-cracks... OK, well, some of them. If this goes on for, well what will it be, another year, two(?), what kind of impression of the world will this be?I didn't think about speech development. Look, if they pay me to do Developmental Psychology here, I'll do Developmental Psychology here, going forward. The thought that babies may learn how to talk by reading lips is an interesting one though.
The kid on the right below might have an obsession with not showing his face when he grows up. He may have the same dreams about leaving his face mask at home, you know, like those dreams where you go to the office and realize you forgot to put your pants and underwear on. (Usually it's just the pants, unless it's one of THOSE dreams... with Ivanka working in the same cube as me ... Jared is my reporting manager with his web cam... we've all probably had this one ...)
First, one must get over the idea that when children are too young to talk, it's because they wouldn't know what to say. I really thought that until some examples taught me otherwise. No, they might know perfectly well what words they want to say by some age, but they cannot get their lips, mouth, and throat to make said words.
Moving on from that, I'd figured that children just try all different things with their lips/mouths/throats until they get closer and closer to the sound they want to make. That's trial and error learning. This idea about their learning how to make sounds by reading the lips of others speaking to them is pretty cool. I don't know if it's right - they don't even pay me to go on the internet and ...
OK, fine. I've found lots of blurbs based on the search "children learning to speak by lip reading". One of them is Science! News, but not knowing the political aspirations of that publications, I went to Speech Buddy to read this interesting article. It refers to a study by one David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic U. (Nice spot!) Keep in mind here, English is all the children's family language - fancy that! - as they watch videos of women speaking to them in English and Spanish:
When the speaker used English, the four-month-olds gazed mostly into her eyes. The six-month-olds looked at the eyes and the mouth equally. Interestingly, the eight and 10-month-olds studied mostly the mouth while the 12-month-olds, started shifting their attention back towards the speaker’s eyes.How they learn to roll those "r"s is beyond me!
However, when the babies heard Spanish, researchers saw that the 12-month-olds studied the mouth longer- similar to the younger babies. These children struggled to interpret the information and needed the extra clues to make sense of the unfamiliar sounds.
OK, I looked at some more articles, but others also mention the same study from '12 or so, which made this learning-to-speak-by-lip-reading concept a new one only 13 years ago. Really? I'm amazed, because this sounds like the kind of theory that would be very fun and interesting to develop experiments for. Wait, someone did one in '20 too - I almost forgot. They called it the Kung Flu Infotainment PanicFest... well, some of us called it that.
This masking deal was perhaps an inadvertent experiment on speech development, as the real experiment was on compliance with Totalitarianism. The experiment on the children's development is not one I'd think most parents would have voluntarily signed up for, were it advertised by the local university Psyche Dept. "Your kid will spend his first couple of years in a somewhat mother-alienated environment. There will be complimentary Chic-Fil-A gift cards!"
Yet parents all over the place decided they must be part of this experiment, that decision itself being part of an experiment ... very meta. Now there are Kovid Kids, whose speech development has been delayed.
I'm not just basing this post on the experiments mentioned and the one Mom's experience. From My Wellness Hub, well, that's what I came upon, COVID-19’s Silent Impact: Speech Delays in Children:
A Startling Rise in Speech DelaysHere are the factors to which the problems are attributed:
The pandemic has reshaped the landscape of childhood development in ways we’re only beginning to understand. For many little ones, their first words, an eagerly awaited milestone, have been delayed. The data speaks volumes about this emerging challenge. According to the Charlotte Speech and Hearing Center, a notable shift occurred during the pandemic. In pre-pandemic times, they reported a 20% failure rate in speech evaluations among children. However, in the heart of the pandemic, this rate alarmingly rose to 50%, with even higher rates in areas of greater economic challenges.
1) Reduced Social Interaction
2) The Digital Shift: Increased Screen Time
3) (absence of) Outdoor Activities
4) Mask-Wearing and Speech Development
From discussion of (4):
Lastly, the widespread use of masks, while crucial for health and safety, has had unintended consequences for speech development. Masks can muffle sounds and hide facial expressions, both essential cues in learning language and communication. For young children, seeing the movement of lips and facial expressions is a critical part of understanding speech and language.Yeah, understanding these factors... lots of us intuitively understood these factors 5 years ago, during the PanicFest! We were told to shut up and put a mask on.
Understanding these factors is essential in addressing the developmental needs of our children during these challenging times.

What were once Las Vegas card counters are now Autists

... and apparently, that's not legal even though it's perfectly within the rules of the game, because the House must come out ahead, and you must lose!
I guess we can keep going with this title style forev..[Just no! - Ed.] No, seriously as opposed to "ADHD victims" we can be sure there ARE actually Autistic men. (OK, women too, but the traditional diagnoses of this mental problem for real skew 4:1 male:femaie.*)
Like Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man - "Rain Man" is how the autistic Charlie Babbitt remembers his brother Raymond**, played by Tom Cruise - portrays an example of a serious case. It's just a movie, but this mental condition is real and can be bad enough such that the (dare I say) patient cannot live a normal life and it's a big burden on the parents. I highly recommend this 1988 movie just for entertainment and heart-string-pulling value.
I've told this anecdote before: There was a contest at a Halloween party in which one could get a jar or 2 of Candy Corn for coming closest to guessing the number of pieces in each of the 2 jars. (Candy Corn is great stuff! It's REAL corn you know ... well, High Fructose Corn Syrup, so yeah, right?.) I told my then 6 y/o son to pick round numbers (to the nearest 5), just to teach him the difference between precision and accuracy. He picked 125 and 140 - something like that - and got them BOTH RIGHT ON THE MONEY! That bit of luck, and it WAS, thankfully, because one would know if his child's got mental problems like REAL autism, called for some Rain Man toothpick and Las Vegas card-counting jokes, of course.
In the ex-iSteve threads on The Unz Review, there was some discussion on the changes in rates of Autism diagnoses. The increase has been phenomenal or ridiculous, depending on how you explain it. Let's look back.
If you go back too far, you'll get muddled definitions of Autism, often including other serious mental problems. However, by the mid 1960s what exactly IS autistic was being sorted out. Per this website***:
Leading up to the creation of the Diagnostic Statistical Manual, in 1965 psychologist Victor Lotter developed a list of behavioral statements for identifying and diagnosing autism. Teachers of 76,388 children between the ages of 8 and 10 attending schools in the Middlesex area completed the test. Children identified by teachers were then further assessed to confirm their autism.A nice chart from the times when Psychiatrists would not mince words follows. Numbers of autists were estimated:
Lotter believed this was sufficient data to diagnose autism, which was considered a behavioral condition at the time. He noted the initial prevalence of autism within a population of 4.5 in 10,000.(That's 1 in ~2,200 for our readers in del Boca Vista. Also, the use of the term "behavioral condition" is interesting.). They hadn't separated out "childhood schizophrenia" from autism until 1980 per this interesting reading, but then this schizophrenia, thankfully, must have been low, as the numbers of autistic kids did not go down. Autism was a "Communication Disorder" in the '70s and became a "Pervasive Developmental Disorder" by the next decades. The numbers then like this:
The new understanding of autism and the neurodevelopmental aspects of the disorder expanded the diagnostic criteria. Now, ‘Impairments of reciprocal social interaction’ were reported to occur in 21.2 of every 10,000 children in the area studied, of whom 4.9 presented with a history of ‘typical autism.’I detect some mission creep already in those early 1980s. I'd almost forgotten about this one:
In 1981, she [Either one of Psychiatrists Lorna Wing or Judith Gould - the writer is far from an autist here - just careless.] coined the term ‘Asperger’s syndrome’ after reclaiming a 1944 article on autism by Hans Asperger.We'll get back to that. OK 1 in 2,000 or so children being autistic is believable. I was around in the 1980s and even prior. I didn't know anyone in the whole school who was autistic, but then, they may still have been at separate schools, and this would have meant only been a handful or two or three would live in the area by probabilities. DIMS? (Does It Make Sense?). Yes.
If you search for numbers for the modern day, you'll see blurbs that worry that the 1 in 35 autism occurrence ratio of 5 years ago has gone up even higher, to 1 in 30! This is very obviously garbage. Has autism increased by a factor of 60 over 45 years? DIMS? No.
To digress only slightly here, Peak Stupidity has been dead-set against the mandatory Kung Flu jab since the beginning of the PanicFest. It was my personal reason that I wasn't worried about the Kung Flu to start with that had me neither caring about nor wanting this "vaccine". Then it was the mandate part - not what you do in any kind of free country, then, the more personal, corporate mandate threats, and finally there was the politics. We (my immediate family and all other family members but one) took a rain man(?) check.
OK, that pun is there for a reason - it's funny. Also, before the whole Kung Flu Infotainment, there already WAS an anti-vax movement. Parents had their various reasons for not wanting vaccinations for their kids. Just the sheer number of them required (NOT! Don't let them tell you that.) might be a little worrisome to anyone. It's in the many dozens, heck, maybe toward 100! Generally, the biggest worry has been that the vaccines' "medium", if you will, the base material, may cause autism. I will not argue any of that here. It should be enough to say that these vaccines should not be mandatory.
We're talking autism here. If there has been a rise, maybe a big one, of this mental problem due to vaccines, it still did not bring the occurrence ratio of autism to 1 in 30. That's a ludicrous number. That'd be 10 people at the elementary school. No. Way. Now that doesn't meant that this school might not CLAIM that there are 10 kids with autism there... and more with Asperger's ... and more with ADHD... hell, the only normal kid is that one boy on the monkey bars, and he's still a little off, hanging upside down and screaming "I'm a bat! I'm a bat!" (Fond memories, indeed!)
Peak Stupidity discussed the reasons for the high number of "diagnoses" of ADHD and such last time. Teachers don't want to deal with boys with lots of energy. Parents might not like to hear that their kids are not normal, but then the perks for being a victim of "a diseases" are not bad, not bad at all.
In the case of diagnoses of autism, the 1st factor is not present, but the 2nd is. Additionally, I present another factor that applies for ALL of these supposed mental conditions that have someone greatly increased in the population of American kids. What was once personality is now a syndrome.
Seriously autistic people have this focus on detail, sometimes - "autistic savant" is the term - with amazing mental skills at the expense of social skills. Unfortunately, for serious cases, the latter means they really can't function in society. A kid said to have autism these days is a boy who is very focused, maybe, yes, at the expense of some social skills, but so freaking what? That's his personality! Not everyone is a "people person". What "people people" don't understand at all is that not everyone WANTS to be a people person.
So, there you have your kid, or just as likely, that kid in the class you teach, who knows more about glazes for clay than you ever cared about. Maybe he loves the math and you think this is kind of obsessive, as why would anyone like math? (I mean, you barely got through that damn college algebra getting that Masters in Ed, by the skin of your
We're not just talking children here. How about all the adults officially diagnosed as having one of these syndromes, when they are nothing but people with differing personalities? "Doesn't play well with others." Do people who do "play well with others" ever realize that there are people who DON'T WANT to play well or AT ALL with others? Most of them COULD play well with others (something that these others don't get), but they LIKE being by themselves ... a lot! This is not a mental problem. I would conjecture that it's those people who would go crazy spending a whole day by themselves that have mental problems! ... but I won't ... because it's just personality... and Peak Stupidity has an atmosphere of tolerance and diversity here.... [/Michael Scott]
Now, the mission creep of these syndromes involves classifying people as "on the spectrum". "He might seem just pretty rowdy, but you need to know where he falls on the ADHD spectrum" "You say he's just a bit shy, but that means he's somewhere - on the low end, mind you, so don't fret - on the autism spectrum." They've got spectra for everything now - I'm not sure how the BLT-G++ crowd likes the appropriation of their beloved rainbows for mental problems, a totally different thing... no, wait....
There you go: "Your child is just a little over the rainbow... somewhere... way up high..."
Peak Stupidity has discussed this spectrum business before. I would hope anyone who has referred to me as being "on the spectrum" is only talking about the supplements I may need for extra magnesium (can't get enough of that stuff!)
These kids, the ones who are a little different, because personalities do vary, you know, should properly be said to be "on the Flintstones":
Finally, perhaps it's the schoolteachers and the principals (NOT!) those who want all the kids to be equal cogs in the machine, who are OFF the visible spectrum, and that's the problem. Some lie way below the red in the microwave range, frying the brains of all around them. Others are on the other side, in the Ultraviolet, giving off an aura that causes disease but does at least enhance drug experimentation.
There's one part of the spectrum we all need to stay off, and that part goes from ~50 to 200 MHz - the TV band! Peak Stupidity recommends one treatment to help people get off that spectrum. It's called Federal 125 grain NYCLAD™ .38 Hollow-Point. Kill your TV!
OK, look, no, show tunes are not a thing here on Peak Stupidity. (This is not Mark Steyn here.) Yet, the song is in my head now, after all this talk about spectra. From the old classic The Wizard of Oz, it's Judy Garland. The lyrics are very good I just realized.****
This post was nuts! OK, have a happy Sunday, Peakers. Enjoy your place on the spectrum!
* The ratio was bound to change as the total numbers increased greatly due to the factors discussed here.
** ... and, IMDB has this backwards, or, I should say, the unpaid "content providers" do.
*** It's called He's Extraordinary and is a site for "extraordinary people", their way of saying autistic (and maybe for other mental problems). I just don't like the euphemisms. I'm sure this terminology CAN make a parent of an autistic kid feel better until, as always, the general population gets the meaning after a while, and it'll be said with sadness. OTOH, as with the Rain Man in the movie, some of these people ARE extraordinary, and not just extra ordinary.

What was once Hyper is now ADD
Posted On: Friday - May 30th 2025 8:07PM MST
In Topics: Music Political Correctness Educational Stupidity Healthcare Stupidity
Note: This has turned into Human Factors week here at Peak Stupidity. There was the humor about Mr. Floyd (one of them) and then the female stupidity factor. Today and tomorrow we will focus on psychological factors that are not usually really...
Our title yet again reflects an old Doobie Brother album title. We speculated a long time ago "I think that name is an early criticism of euphemisms, something I'd never thought about before." Google AI just now speculated:
The title "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits" suggests that behaviors once considered morally wrong or undesirable have become commonplace and accepted, evolving into regular habits.I don't know. I think it's just a change in terminology, with the meaning staying the same. A "vice" is now a "bad habit".* AI might be right though, but I'll leave it up to The Doobies.
Alright, because of my deficiency there in attention span, that did not at all get to the point here, so let me talk ADD, which has actually been ADHD for quite a while now. Kids used to be Hyperactive, that's all. We just called them "hyper", not understanding that this prefix alone did not reflect our meaning. Said kids did not have a psychological condition. They were not on some "spectrum" - they just were extra-active, or maybe a little out of control.
In that era of the hyper kid, we also had many more male teachers in lower education. I don't say a majority of mine were, but as compared to now, there were a lot. The local elementary school here and now has ZERO male teachers in the classrooms. There's that Assistant Principal (the guy that was there with the laptops in a near deposition situation when we didn't bother to email about our boy being out for a few days.) There's the gym teacher. That's it.
Schools are filled with boys AND girls, we ought to remember. The girls do better in the "sit down for 7 hours" situation than the boys. Male teachers are, well, men, so they know slightly more about the mindset and boundless energy of the boys. The female teachers, at least the modern ones, don't. Therefore, instead of sending the slightly out of control, formerly "hyper", kid out of the room to run 20 laps or getting him to do 25 push-ups, they determine he must be made to sit there and behave, period.
To make this happen, they put 'em on drugs. You can't just start
Full disclosure here as mandated by the PS Legal Team:
I was NOT hyper, but I did have my own ADD license tag for a while. It just so happened that those three letters, with 3 or 4 numbers at the end, were on the plate on one of my cars for years. I was so glad to get a new sticker each year rather than a new plate, but, alas, due to my LACK of hyperactivity, I never got around to trying to get away with parking in handicapped spaces or arguing parking tickets in court**.
AI does a pretty good job of sorting through the BS, but after sorting... it's still BS:
"Diagnostic term?" Uh oh. After a diagnosis you usually get treatment. Boys, or I should say, the parents of boys, have been cajoled into "treating" their high activity with Ritalin, etc. It probably helped that being a victim of something, anything, is helpful for breaks in test-taking, college admission, and even career advancement these days.
I know adults who told me about their having taken Ritalin as a kid. Did it cure them, because, I didn't know it was supposed to be a permanent "cure" for being a high energy boy, and these men seem perfectly fine and relaxed now. I imagine they'd have been perfectly fine without having taken drugs for years. Who knows what years of "treatment" with these drugs do? Is something missing?
I have never agreed that ADD and ADHD are real mental problems of any sort. They are just descriptions of personalities that teachers don't know how to deal with. How is it that there was there no such thing as either when I was a kid, yet there are millions now of cases now.
They all say there is the very occasional Excitable Boy, in the Warren Zevon song sense. Is that what the schools have been doing, trying to avoid that very rare lawsuit about some excitable boy?
Warren Zevon relates the story:
Well, he went down to dinner in his Sunday best.That's all it was. ADD, my ass.
"Excitable boy," they all said.
And he rubbed the pot roast all over his chest.
"Excitable boy," they all said.
Well, he's just an excitable boy.
He took in the 4 A.M. show at the Clark.
"Excitable boy," they all said.
And he bit the usherette's leg in the dark.
"Excitable boy," they all said.
Well, he's just an excitable boy.
He took little Suzie to the Junior Prom.
"Excitable boy," they all said. (Ooh-ooh, excitable boy)
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home.
"Excitable boy," they all said (Ooh-ooh, excitable boy)
Well, he's just an excitable boy.
After ten long years, they let him out of the home.
"Excitable boy," they all said (Ooh-ooh, excitable boy)
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones.
"Excitable boy," they all said (Ooh-ooh, excitable boy)
Well, he's just an excitable boy.
Here's the pro-Ritalin song from the late great Warren Zevon:
Here's the anti-Ritalin song (Peak Stupidity's take) from The Eagles. However, Desperado is a Concept Album, one of the very best of them, so the song 21 must come first. 21 and out of control:
We'll get to autism tomorrow, definitely real for some but also overblown in its use as a diagnosis, maybe for differing reasons.
* When you think of smoking, that used to be a "vice", but it became a "habit", with the word "vice" coming into dis-use even by the cops. (Miami Vice was on 4 decades ago, and where is the Vice Squad now? WTH was the "Bunko Squad" anyway?!)

Nancy Mace enters photo of her privates into Congressional record to protect women's privacy
Posted On: Thursday - May 29th 2025 10:40AM MST
In Topics: Humor Feminism US Feral Government Female Stupidity
As if Blue-jeaned babe Kristi and Sister Golden Hair aren't enough as examples of women leaders being a bad idea, Peak Stupidity presents a real Piece of Work, exhibit A-1 Prime, S. Carolina Low-Country CongressDramaQueen Nancy Mace. What's unfortunate is that she is MAGA. That just bolsters the arguments of people like Steve Sailer, that MAGA is full of low-brow conspiracy theorists. This lady does is not helping my counter arguments.
Low brow? Yeah. Conspiracy theorist? Not in the way one would think.* The only conspiracy Rep. Nancy Mace is currently interested in is what her ex-fiance is up to with the home security cameras. That sounds personal and not so important for Congressional hearings on America's many problems, but... she's a woman, and OMG, there's me, naked! See? I'm gonna blow it up for clarity.** "The House Oversight (get it?) Committee Secretary shall enter these photos into .... what? He's in the Congressional unisex restroom right now? OK, when he gets back..."
Gateway Pundit can be good for these "human interest" stories, and I liked their headline: Rep. Nancy Mace Shares Nude Photo of Herself During House Hearing on ‘Surveillance in Private Spaces’ (VIDEO) No, don't get excited. The video is a whole bunch of extremely boring womansplaining, and she's wearing glasses, and she doesn't take any clothes off the whole 17 minutes. Skip it. Instead, let's go to the wiki page on the Honorable CongressDramaQueen Mace from the 1st Districk of South Carolina.
The wiki page is a hoot. Nancy Mace was an Army brat, her Dad, James Emory Mace, having been a Captain in Vietnam, awarded medals seriously for bravery there, and having become a Brigadier General. Miss Mace was not the 1st woman to be admitted to the Citadel, an "honor" that goes to one Shannon Faulkner, who, after a multi-year lawsuit to open up the male bastion to women, lasted 3 days. I remember this story. It was the heat - you know, summer in S. Carolina ... and also large quantities of noodle casserole that did her in. (NOT KIDDING!)
However, with help from her Brigadier General Daddy who ran the Corps of Cadets, Nancy Mace was the first woman to graduate, in 1999. One more male bastion had been destroyed. America being the world's Sole Superpower at the time, who cared, right?! Kick ass...
I first thought this deal went very much along the lines of Steve Sailer's points about Dads with only girls wanting them to be surrogate sons. However, Miss Mace has a brother who's a heart surgeon (along with having a sister too). I don't know, does she have a male-leaning personality? Maybe she DID, but nature has taken over, as we can read and see.
After that time at the Citadel, taking the slot of a man who would have loved to have attended, Miss Mace got degrees from the U. of Georgia in Journalism and Mass Communication. In other words, nothing constructive was to come out of her from then on.
Her politics have been spotty since she first got into it, volunteering for Ron Paul in '12, winning a special election for a SC State House seat in '17, and getting into the US Congress in '20. Details are on the wiki page. The parts I like are her stance against Øb☭macare, her voting out Kevin McCarthy, and the very minor deal of her refusal to pronounce Kamala's first name the way it's supposed to, which I honestly still don't know - I just like that attitude.
However, Nancy Mace did NOT support Trump in the claims of election fraud in '20. She was FOR BLTG++ until Trump came back, and now she is against all that. Something tells me she blows with the winds, in more than one way.
There was some weird incident at the end of last year with one James McIntyre, a foster care activist. He shook Citadel graduate Nancy's hand too hard.
Another witness stated that McIntyre "took her hand with both of his hands and shook her arm up and down in an exaggerated, aggressive handshaking motion". Mace refused paramedics' assistance, but stated in court documents that she felt "pain in her wrists, arm and armpit/shoulder due to the incident".It must have been brutal. I mean, she was in the Corps of Cadets.
Everything else out of this drama queen is all women, women, women first, rather than America first. At this point, it has become, my body first, which is pretty hot but not for just anyone to look at, as per my picture shown to the Congressional Oversight Committee, and on viral video. Hey, we just report on stupidity here - we are not capable of making this up.
This whole time wasted by alleged-MAGA Piece of Work talking about cameras and privacy was actually about her personal problems with her ex-fiance. (She's been married twice already and is a single Mom of 2.) Gateway Pundit now:
Mace also repeated her allegations against her ex-fiance before Tuesday’s hearing, writing in an X post: “Today I will show my naked body on one of the videos predator and rapist Patrick Bryant took of me and many other women. Without our knowledge. Without our permission. And without our consent.”Monsters, I tells ya'! But, but, I didn't know he was a monster when I got engaged... for the 3rd time!
“This naked silhouette is my naked body. I didn’t know that I had been filmed. I didn’t give my consent. I didn’t give my permission and this particular video that Patrick Bryant recorded of me on his secret camera, he saved for over three years without my knowledge.”
“Today I exposed a monster whose victims deserve justice. The victims also deserve stronger federal and state laws to protect them,” Nancy Mace said.
These victims who deserve stronger Federal and State laws are... Nancy Mace... who sits in the US Congress... immune there from charges of slander by just some monsters with the other side of the story of a 7/9 on the hot/crazy matrix.
MAGA can do a lot better than this. No more Nancy Maces! Let's get some hard-charging men up there in the House of Representin', rather than more drama queens.
PS: Here's a statement from the ex-fiance:
Mace’s ex-fiancé told South Carolina-based Fits News: “I categorically deny the false and outrageous claims made by Nancy Mace. I have never raped anyone. I have never hidden cameras. I have never harmed any woman. These accusations are not just false. They are malicious and deeply personal. My mistake was loving and trusting someone who later weaponized our relationship.”When you see anywhere close to this level of crazy, believe the man. You'll be right 95% of the time.
* There IS a section on the wiki page, which we'll get to, entitled "Extraterrestrial life".
** Honestly, I can't make heads or tails out of that image. I've tried! Then again, I've failed the Rorchach test every time I've taken it. My therapist moonlights as my ophthalmologist, so normally we do a combined Rorchach/eye exam, which gets... tricky.

Women in charge: Blue-jean Baby and Sister Golden Hair
Posted On: Wednesday - May 28th 2025 6:50PM MST
In Topics: Music Feminism US Feral Government Female Stupidity
"How does my tight butt look in this tacticool gear?", asks Kristi Noem, Secretary of Motherland Security. "Look at my hair. I'm Sister Golden Hair!" says Pam Blondie, US Attorney General... picked, stupidity, by President Trump. (Yeah, both of them.)
What about Surgeon General, is that vacant now? Sure pick the fat Black! broad to show you're not sexist or racist, or better, some Sister Golden Hair Surprise to keep people watching the TV. It doesn't matter. Well, I mean, make sure she's not allowed to open her mouth next Plandemic or anything like that...
It’s OK to have your battle-axes, your Maggie Thatchers and such, and then the occasional high-spirited anti-Establishment MTGs. These pretty women though, like Kristy Noem, Pam Blondie, and so on are NO GOOD. They are real women.* As such, they do care about their appearances and being seen as often and by as many people as possible more important than getting things done. It’s who they are, which is fine, but don’t freaking appoint them to anything, for cryin’…
Yeah, it's kind of tough for a woman who doesn't want to be called an old "battle axe" but wants to be a part of running the world. Too bad. That's not what you're made for. HIllary Clinton tried to explain all this, but unfortunately, she's an anitChrist and lies more easily than she breaths. What she said, but the opposite.
I don't know why Tom Homan is not Secretary of Motherland Security rather than an underling. Yes, Kristi in the tight blue jeans was a decent GOP Governor for North Dakota. I don't even like that, because the whole thing reminds me too much of Nikki Haley of South Carolina. Women put their feelings first, and principles can change in a heart beat. After all, a woman is entitled to change her mind, right? ("Yeah, but not when she's the ... "Hey, you're the dumbasses who voted for her."). But, I do like her in blue jeans, as a woman, not someone who should be forming a strategy and developing tactics.
Appointing Pan Blondie as Attorney General to retributive ass was a mistake. I don't know what the deal was with Matt Goetz, but some other firebrand who would have come out of the gate with a thousand subpoenas and arrest warrants - for Merrick Garland, Alley Hondro Mayorkas, Leticia James, etc. - is who we needed. Blondie may get to some of this, but her hair and nails come first.**
We've wasting a lot of time with this. Commenter AnotherDad pointed out in a couple of comments that the Chinese Politburo is made of all men, 24 of them, and all Han Chinese. The Chinese tried their hand at Feminism only for the purpose of instilling in the population that they were equally minor cogs in the great Wheel of Communism back in the Mao era. That did save The People money on fashions and fashion accessories along with cosmetological supplies (the money saved to be used for cosmology instead) - Chairman Mao's famous Rice Bowl Cosmetology.
Say what you want about The People's Republic, and we often do, but the people in charge aren't silly. They may be inherently stupid often, but they are not silly.
This promotion of hot women, or any generally, to positions of power is silly. Trump and America don't have enough time for this stuff.
...
Speaking of America, now with Sister Golden Hair in my head, I've got to embed it here. That band America was only big for a few years, but they made some great soft-rock music. To this day, I remember the names of this trio, who formed their band as Army brats in London: Gerry Beckley, Dan Peek, and Dewey Bunnell.
That song is half a century old! Now, there's an anniversary for you.
OK, now, since I re-titled the post, Elton John's Tiny Dancer oughta appear too. Forget he's gay when you listen to this. It's Bernie Taupin who wrote it, though. I can't remember if he was gay too, as that biographic movie Rocketman wasn't one of my favorites.
This one is 4 years older than that! The couple of seconds of piano intro. is almost the same as, but a little inverted from, the intro. in Journey's Feelin' That Way from 7 years later. (It's not worth a lawsuit.) We featured the latter song here before and noted that It ABSOLUTELY MUST be played together with Anytime That You Want Me. Don't not do that!
PS: After doing a little thinking about writing this post, I ran into the story of an exemplary Piece Of Work that would have taken too long to make fun of in this one post. We'll get to her... yeah, Nancy Mace. Holy ...
* That's not to say MTG is not a real woman and pretty in her way, but she's one hell of an exception. Can she be cloned?
** There was always a question, too, of her support of George Zimmerman's attempted murderer, some big black guy who ended up rightfully dead. Did Trump miss that? (Mr. Hail would have more, being - I think - from Florida. Hopefully we'll hear from him soon.)

Firstly, Peak Stupidity has a mutually beneficial deal with Alcoholics Anonymous - we don't compete with them with any new 12-step programs, and they don't criticize our unorthodox support for the sobriety of George Floyd. He's been sober for 1,828 days straight.* "My name was George Floyd, and if alcoholism were the worst thing I've done... "
From UR commenter Mike Tre came the following, as Mr. Tre noted that George Floyd is probably looking better now:
George Floyd died of a drug overdose 5 years ago the day before yesterday. Yeah, so what...
Someone else noted that the BLM and antifa crowd really aren't going to remember George Floyd. He was, after all is said and done, just a worthless, violent Black! reprobate. No, they want us to remember the power they had over the cucks of this nation and around the world for a whole summer and more 5 years ago.
A quick Peak Stupidity survey follows. It'll only take a minute of your time, I swear... except for the part about listening to some great music.
Who will I most likely remember 10 years from now?
[ ] George Floyd, ex-resident of Minneapolis, Minnesota
[ ] Floyd Lawson, ex-resident barber of Mayberry, N. Carolina
[ ] Pink Floyd, ex-rock band from England.
To get you started pondering the question:
PS: Going completely off this subject, I am getting worried about Mr. Hail. His last post on his site was on April 4th, His last comment thereunder was on April 10th and his last one on The Unz Review was in mid-April too. I haven't checked, but it's likely been that long here. I'll write him a message on his blog. We hope he's OK and just busy.
* Don't forget that there was 1 leap year in there, '24.

Memorial Day

In Topics: Holiday from Stupidity
Americans are in general happy to a) be out of school, b) have an extra day off for fun long weekend, and c) enjoy the warmth of summer. Memorial Day is not one of those holiday that should suggest "Happy" something-or-other be said, but we do that for all holidays and anniversaries. (I'll get into one of those other anniversaries
It's a time to memorialized those American men killed in the various and sundry wars America has been involved in over our 1/4 Millennium history. Lots of these men did not make a choice to even be there and lots of others, being young, were not so wise, but brave and honorable. A decision to be "in the service" has not meant a very great risk of death or maiming in war over the last half a century, since the 2 large hot wars of the Cold War were over. I'll get into that later on (in the post and later today).
Commenter SafeNow brought up thoughts of the death of an American member of the Coast Guard killed in war, one Nathan Bruckenthal. Yes, the Coast Guard, guarding SOME coast. (Straight from wiki) Nate Bruckenthal was killed in the Iraq War, becoming the first to die in wartime action since the Vietnam War. Bruckenthal and two U.S. Navy sailors were killed while intercepting a waterborne suicide attack on an offshore oil terminal off the coast of Iraq in the northern Persian Gulf in 2004. Bruckenthal was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star Medal with Combat Distinguishing Device and the Purple Heart for his actions.
Yes, the Coast Guard.. off Iraq. I was thinking AMERICAN coast whenever I think of the Coast Guard, but what do I know? This military branch was formed 110 years ago for that purpose. As of now, (also wiki):
Due to ever-expanding risk imposed by transnational threats through the maritime and cyber domains, the U.S. Coast Guard is at any given time deployed to and operating on all seven continents and in cyberspace to enforce its mission.No, they should be guarding THE coasts... of America.
I never even agreed with their mission of intercepting the schools of those square grouper*, much less their inclusion in the US world-warmongering. That wasn't Nate Bruckenthal's call though. R.I.P.
(I can't import a picture so easily now, so that will come, along with some more discussion on joining the military.)
* On the land end too, it's all Fentanyl, Fentanyl, Fentanyl!, when it should be about keeping out the PEOPLE, stupid. My opinion is that if you kept out the masses of cheap labor, traditional Americans' lives would be better such that they woud not feel they needed to OD/suicide on these drugs.

... that is, according to Bing AI, which has done some thinking about Peak Stupidity. It has obviously consulted
Well, I mean, it's not wrong...
A few months back, Adam Smith pasted in a link for us to a song that I hadn't listened to since about the time it was on the radio, nearly 30 years ago. Why those lyrics have not come into my head since this blog's been active is a mystery.
This is The Refreshments* with Banditos, from their 1996 album Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy.
Well it's just you and me, baby.That's very 1990s, obviously before the day of ubiquitous cameras. It would have worked too, most definitely the part about the fake ID!
No one else we can trust.
We'll say nothin' to no one,
no how or we'll bust.
Never crack a smile or flinch or cry
For nobody.
So give you ID card to the border guard.
Your alias says you got John Luke Picard
pf the United Federation of Planets,
'cause they won't speak English any ways.
Everybody knows
that the world is full of stupid people.
So meet me at the mission at midnight.
We'll divvy up there.
Yeah, everybody knows
That the world is full of stupid people.
Well I got the pistol so I get the pesos.
Yeah that seems fair.
So put the sugar in the tank of the sheriff's car
We'll slash the deputy's tires.
They won't get very far
when they finally get the word
that there's been a hold-up.
Sorry, AI routine. We're stickin' with "Stupidity". We're damn sure not gonna pay GoDaddy for another URL!
OK, Peakers, we got busy this week, and next week will probably be similar. We've got stories about crazy female CongreffsDramaQueens coming, more immigration stupidity (but, of course!), and finally, hopefully, that post about Deflation. Have a happy, relaxing Sunday. Stay offline a while... I
* ... not to be confused with The Replacements with Paul Westerberg, the guy with Dyslexic Heart.
