With the likely but not certain announcement of Brooke Rollins @BrookeLRollins as Ag Secretary, I decided to do a little digging. Preliminary conclusion is that while she won't make people in regenerative agriculture happy, she could be a lot worse as well.
1/ @BrookeLRollins Quick background: rural girl from TX, FFA, 4H, earned an Ag degree from Texas A&M, four children. However, she went straight from the College of Agriculture to Law School, and hasn't looked back, though she maintains contacts with some women's ag groups, and insists FFA

To be clear, I'm not anti-European at all. We're cousins within the same larger Western civilization, and I wish you all the best.

The issue is the international "elites" who dominate both sides, and who for their own benefit, have made the decision to use Heartland Americans
1/ as the Warrior for empire, making us pay the blood price, even as the American people are taxed to pay for the military side of the Empire.

We the people of the Heartland are done with that - and we never wanted it in the first place.

We're living in insane times. Somebody in the US govt, we have no idea who or what is playing insane escalation games, after having just lost the elections. Sending US missiles into Russia proper is the stuff of madness.

Putin launching an ICBM right after the cables are cut
1/ in the Baltic Sea shows that Russia is prepared to escalate right back. This kind of escalation spiral can indeed end up in nuclear war, the only sure way out is to stop and walk back the escalation right now, today, this week.

This is one of my more important posts (which means likely few will see it, LOL).

What is widely misunderstood about masculinity & organized violence is that it is from a genetic perspective it is primarily defensive & not offensive.

Consider the story of your Y chromosome
1/ over the last 50,00 years. With 25 year generations, that would be going back 2,000 generations.

For your Y chromosome to exist today, it had to be successfully defended 2,000 times. In the face of what is now believed to be a very long time history of organized violence

While this is very different from bronzed Greek warriors - what is described below is a very real part of my Midwestern Heritage.

My ancestors were part of the 2 century push from the Atlantic seaboard through the Midwest. There were close to 2 centuries of Indian raids,
1/ that got much worse during the 3 wars, as well as rough elements with almost no law enforcement.

Communities of men banded together in small armed groups to defend their families & communities. It's why I'm here today, and it's relatively recent.

This is always the question when the whole Left does something remarkably stupid. Was it because:

1. They're stupid (it's accidental).
2. They're very smart but evil (it's intentional).
3. They're being paid to destroy us (it's intentional).

The default answer should be #1.
1/ Most of the population cannot properly do hypotheticals. Oh, sure maybe your peers can do so, but the overall population - not so much.

I've dealt with enough people in high level jobs to know that most do not do 2nd or 3rd order effects - UNLESS there's a common paradigm

In other words, the source of a declining number of males fit for combat, is female elementary teachers waging a war on masculinity.

They help gets boys diagnosed with ADHD, easier to handle in classroom, but their lives are screwed up.

Two of my son's teachers suggested
1/ that he be evaluated for learning problems when he was in elementary school, that would have likely led to prescription medication.

He's an A student in high school taking a rigorous curriculum of AP & Honors courses. There's absolutely nothing wrong with him, he can

"Who cares what our life stories looked like: in one generation the future has been wiped out?"👇

By any historical standards, the modern Left is frothing at the mouth insane. They're trying to tear it all down, every bit of Western civilization, in a single generation.
1/ They are forcing a fantastic rate of change: families, children, sexuality, the racial makeup of America. It's all one vast experiment, with no thinking about long-term consequences.

They think as one, a thoughtless mob moving together, policing each other as the required

Mask off moment. This is in response to an interview JD Vance gave saying the the US defending Europe was contingent on Europe accepting free speech.

This 37K Euro account then said in that case, Europe is done with the US, and will be allying with China & India instead.
1/ This is a fundamental division that Trump helps to illuminate.

Europe has a wide group of people. Generally, however, Europe is to the authoritarian Left of the the US Dems - which means it is highly opposed to the peoples of the Heartland & our values.

The power dynamics are quite different from any other new administration. They tried to financially destroy Trump, imprison him and kill him. They would have destroyed Musk if Trump hadn't won.

Dems will still do both in 2028, if they can. That means for self-protection,
1/ Trump & Musk will need to take decisive actions to cut the head off of the snake, and this will likely be concentrated in the first 100 days of the new administration.

The snake is aware of this, and also that it has much more power to prevent it before Trump gets the

The smart way for Trump to end the Ukraine war is to freeze at the current front lines (other than Kursk), recognize the occupied territories as Russian, and give them their money back.

This would *greatly benefit the US*, because it is the US that is being harmed the most
1/ by the attempts to harm Russia, and treat it as a pariah state.

Seizing the Russian reserves puts the reserve status of the dollar in question. Treating Russia as a pariah state is leading to competing geopolitical blocs, even as alternative trade and currency systems

Why this uncouth emphasis on white men, that could get me banned or even arrested in some countries or social platforms?

No matter who they voted for, white men have been the target of increasing discrimination for decades when it comes to college admissions, hiring &
1/ promotions. Most white men came together, roared, and provided 74% of the net positive votes.

This matters. Victory has a thousand fathers, and everyone is trying to put together the usual repub controlled opposition coalition where the minorities & women get the plums,

Let's talk elections, race & gender.

The 2024 elections were overwhelming the victory of WHITE MEN. A 20% gap with 34% of the vote provided a +6.8% gain. WHITE women were a +1.85% gain (5% X 37%). Latino MEN were a +0.6% gain (10% X 6%).

White men provided 74% of the net
1/ Image gain in votes needed to elect Trump, while white women provided 20% and latino men provided 6%.

Every other group, on average, voted to elect Harris.

Yes, there were gains relative to 2020 among other groups, such as black MEN.

It's worthwhile looking at new VP JD Vance, Senator Josh Hawley, and new Senator Jim Banks, and what they can show us about the New Republicans, the Midwest, and "elites".

Vance was born into poverty, living in KY & OH. Banks grew up in a trailer park in IN. Hawley is from
1/ a rural county in MO with less than 5,000 residents. They are each what coastal "elites" might refer to hicks, yokels or worse, from places in flyover country that no serious person has ever heard of.

Yet, they are also clearly now "elites". Vance & Hawley came from humble

Situation update, 11/6/24:

The 2024 election results are best seen as a split among the factions within the Ruling Coalition that enabled the 2020 election steal. Much of the Coalition hasn't given up on anything, they are a cornered rat. New "elites" have emerged
1/ such as Musk & Vance, and their open support helped make Trump's win possible, particularly aided by Musk's control of X.

Perhaps most important is the part of the Coalition that publicly moved to the sidelines, such as Bezos, Zuckerberg, and many others. They did not help

Accurate, but I would argue the situation is much worse. There were two huge failures for the whole world to see.

1. The economic superpowers of the US & Europe were supposed to dwarf the power of primitive "gas station with nukes" Russia. In practice, they couldn't even
1/ manufacture enough "dumb" artillery shells to keep Ukraine supplied. For all the bluster & the talk, the US & weapons can't produce the weapons & munitions to wage war for any significant period of time.

2. It's been the biggest war in Europe for ~80 years -

This is also my #1 question about tomorrow & tomorrow night. Does the blatant steal occur on an even larger scale, or do they "allow" Trump to win?

Neither answer is a destination, nothing is settled by this election. Rather, 2 very different paths are available,
1/ and the beginning of going down which path will be decided for all of us by whether the election is stolen again.

If it is, and Harris is installed as effective dictator (it will be difficult to deny the situation at that point), then Trump & Musk go to prison or worse,

Combining my recent personal experience, replies & what I've read elsewhere - what is happening is much organized & planned than I had realized.

The immigrant hotels are new, like ours, and they are going up all over. These need to be financed. So, the first step is someone
1/ plans the targets, the communities to be racially transformed and flipped Democratic.

The hotel owners get long term financing from... somebody, likely major Wall Street firms or banks, totaling likely tens of billions of dollars, and all based on the govt paying

Reading X one learns what is actually happening in the world, and this became clear to me on a recent trip. We went to a small city, in a Red state, in the Appalachians.

Every employee we saw at the hotel (except one Hispanic) was a foreign-born black with strong accents.
1/ This is in a town that has historically been almost entirely white, like the rest of the area. We also noticed that surprising numbers of our fellow "guests" appeared to be recent immigrants, who didn't have cars, didn't speak English well, but could afford a $100+ a night

Let's look at this video not in election terms, but in terms of cultural fertility.

An angry speech that is explicitly anti-male & that pushes female entitlement, particularly when it comes to abortion & careers.

Politics aside - this is a cultural suicide cult.
1/ Women being driven away from men, while pursuing careers, and making a pseudo-religion centered around killing babies in the womb is OBVIOUSLY going to lead to far below replacement fertility rates. It will die over time & the bloodlines will eventually end for all
