…but I will say this. I suspect the gene pool will not suffer greatly from the removal of these women from it:

Echols said she had “been wanting to be child-free for a very long time” and is planning to get a bilateral salpingectomy with an endometrial ablation—when the lining of the uterus is destroyed. Her doctor approved the procedures earlier this month.

“The next four years will go in the way of the Christian nationalists if what I have seen and heard and experienced is to be believed,” she said. “Anyone who has…taken a look at the social tirade Donald Trump encouraged and employed during his years in the office knows that this is the time to prepare and be prudent for what could yet come.”

“I’d rather be safe than sorry,” she added.

Frankly I think surgery over an election not going your way is much crazier than shouting at a lake but at least these people sterilizing themselves are adults who are of age.

I wish them all the luck in the world.

Jon Sable: I get twenty five percent of anything I recover

ShermanThat’s kind of steep isn’t it?

Jon Sable: Depends on how you look at it. I figure 75% of something is better than 100% of nothing

I was talking to a friend yesterday about the election. This is the guy I mentioned before who had previously been NeverTrump but decided that he HAD to vote for him to punish the left for what the Department of Justice had done to him. There had to be consequences for such horrible behavior.

While he teased me about Matt Gaetz (who he thought was unqualified) and Pam Bondi ( who we both agreed was incredibly qualified) we found ourselves worried about one thing.

Conservatives in general and MAGA people in particularly have been rightly celebrating and some of the meltdowns we’ve seen have been really amusing, but when it comes down to it we have to acknowledge something that a few folks don’t want to hear:

While Donald Trump won 100% of the presidency the reason why he did is because the left was chasing voters away who weren’t 100% pure and Donald Trump welcomed them into the fold.

A lot of those people who joined with us will be expecting to get a portion of the spoils of victory which means there are going to be some people appointed to positions that I wouldn’t choose and some decisions made that I wouldn’t make but we’re likely going to get 70% of what we want. and that’s OK.

Or to put it another way. Would you complain if your Baseball, Football, Basketball or Hockey franchise managed a .700 winning percentage? You’d be tickled pink.

Now maybe over time we will convince them of the advantages of conservatism in both culture and economics and it may in fact be that we will be pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of some of their ideas toward the common good.

If we want to raise an objection here and there, that’s fine we should make the best case we can for what we believe, but in the end we’re not going to get a lot done if after winning a historic election we take the people who helped us to that victory and chase them back to where they were and remember in four years we won’t have Trump as a unifying force so we damn well better keep them as friends because we won’t want them as enemies in 2028.

Let’s leave the purity tests to the left, after all I already have a religion.

Just about half the population of the United States is experiencing a great deal of anxiety this Thanksgiving.  The remaining half are suffering from an abundance of joy.  There are three main reason why this stark difference between the two halves of our population exists.

Those on the political left are beside themselves with dread right now.  They believe all of their rights will be stripped from them.  They are convinced that the economy of the United States will utterly and totally collapse.  These Progressives believe that women will be denied needed medical  care.

Those of us on the political right know with certainty that President Trump will restore all of the rights that were greatly eroded away, such as freedom of speech, free exercise of religion, and the right to bear arms, under the Biden Regime.   We know that the economy of the United States will rocket forward out of the stagnation caused by the ruinous policies of Biden and Harris.  As for the stuff about women not getting needed medical care, we know that is absolute bilge.

Democrats are in such a bad state mentally because they exist exclusively in a progressive echo chamber.  All of the news and information they consume comes from left wing sources, all of which shovel nothing but propaganda.

Those on the political left are indoctrinated and programmed.  This is done to them under the guise of receiving a college education. 

The political left does not believe in objective truth.  All reality is relative to them.  To them truth is fungible.

The half of the population that is experiencing dread and anxiety this Thanksgiving are doing so because of they are unable to distinguish between the real universe of objective truth where the United States will prosper under Trump and the fantasy universe created by progressive brainwashing where the United States will become a hellhole.   

Saw this at Instapundit when I woke up at 2:30 AM for no particular reason:

Here is the full tweet:

King Randall conducted a social experiment by posting two videos. In one video, he said he would vote for Kamala, and in the other one, he said he would vote for Trump. When Trump supporters who followed him saw the Kamala video, they didn’t cancel him over his beliefs and still pledged to continue supporting his community work. But, when Kamala supporters watched his Trump video, they went bonkers and became hostile towards him. The video went viral & Trump supporters all over the country bought gifts to send to his school. When your people ask what the difference is between the two sides, THIS IS IT.

Apparently Elon Musk noticed it and tweeted about it and the packages and donations to his boys school keep coming.

This King Randell gentleman runs a school for boys that serves the black community in Georgia and teaches these kids useful skills in a place with one of the highest crime rates in the country and he gets results. The stats speak for themselves:

  • 86% improvement in reading comprehension
  • 82% of students proficient in General Contracting
  • 91% improvement in school grades
  • 93% of students proficient in basic auto repair
  • 99.99% of student less likely to be repeat offenders

Think about that last stat, what program that serves kids in trouble has a recidivism rate of .01%?

And yet the Democrat left which made George Floyd a saint and insists they believe black lives matter wanted to cut off donations because of a video of him supporting Trump, and others question if he should accept either cash or items donated by Trump supporters.

Bottom line, the Biblical virtue of charity (love) is all about helping the other

The sin of pride, is all about affirming oneself.

When your religion is Christianity you understand this.

When your religion is politics you don’t

But before you congratulate yourself on your righteousness remember this warning from C.S. Lewis:

He must be made to feel (he’d better not put it into words) “how different we Christians are”; and by “we Christians” he must really, but unknowingly, mean “my set”; and by “my set” he must mean not “The people who, in their charity and humility, have accepted me”’, but “The people with whom I associate by right”

And Christ’s parable of the Pharisee and the publican:

“Two people went up to the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.

The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity – greedy, dishonest, adulterous – or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.

But the tax collector stood off at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, ‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.’

I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted
