Dutch Central Bank Admits ‘The Rich Get Richer When We Print Money’

Via True Economics blog

The Netherlands Central Bank has just published a fascinating new paper, titled “Monetary policy and the top one percent: Evidence from a century of modern economic history”.

Authored by Mehdi El Herradi and Aurélien Leroy, (Working Paper No. 632, De Nederlandsche Bank NV), the paper “examines the distributional implications of monetary policy from a long-run perspective with data spanning a century of modern economic history in 12 advanced economies between 1920 and 2015, …estimating the dynamic responses of the top 1% income share to a monetary policy shock.”…

In other words, accommodative monetary policies accommodate primarily those with significant starting wealth, and they do so via sate price inflation.

Unemployment Rate in the Czech Republic Holds at Record Low

Earlier this year, we wrote about the Czech Republic’s unemployment rate as reported by Eurostat, which was measured at a miniscule 1.9% in November of 2018.

The November Czech unemployment rate was the lowest reported unemployment rate in EU history, and the very first time Eurostat reported an unemployment rate under 2%.

While the unemployment rate in the Czech Republic has seen some small changes since then due to seasonal fluctuation, five months later the story is still the same: in March 2019 numbers released earlier this week, Eurostat has pegged the Czech Republic’s unemployment rate at 1.9% once again.

Brain Drain & the Polarization of America

A handful of states have become exclusive destinations for the highly educated. They not only hold onto more of their homegrown talent, but they also gain more highly educated adults than they lose. These talent-magnet states are along the West Coast, as well as the Boston-Washington corridor.

Beyond the coasts, a few other states, like Texas, are retaining their homegrown talent while simultaneously winning a balance of talent from elsewhere.

Censoring Conservative Media: The Unreliable Poynter Institute

Well what do you know. Amazing. A Left-wing “journalism” institute has someone who works for the far-left (and currently deep-in-scandal) Southern Poverty Law Center compile this list of “unreliable” news sites and lo and behold there are listed all those “prominent conservative-leaning outlets” somehow, someway, turning up on the blacklist….er…sorry….list. Oh yes, I noted Newsmax on there, and full disclosure, I occasionally Skype at Newsmax. As with the other sites named above, Newsmax is indeed a quite serious news outlet.

To give you an idea of how this Poynter game was played, go back a few months to this story, as reported by Tim Graham right here at NewsBusters. The headline: “Ex-New York Times Executive Editor Rips Her Own Paper for ‘Raw Opinion’ Against Trump.”

CNN Host’s Face Says it All After Surprise Answer From Black Pastors on Visit From VP Pence [Video]

CNN’s Don Lemon asked two black pastors about the visit from VP Pence.

Knowing Lemon’s feelings about the Trump administration, this probably wasn’t the answer he was looking for…

A Pastor from 1 of the 3 black churches in Louisiana that was set on fire weighs in on Trump admin visiting them:

“It’s satisfying and it’s uplifting. I am reassured right now because of the reaction we’re getting, especially the visit of VP Mike Pence. I’m encouraged right now”

Watch Lemon’s face…he’s not happy with this answer!

It’s no secret that CNN’s Don Lemon is anti-Trump AND a racist so this had to be a disappointment to Lemon. The look on his face says it all!

Lemon called white men on the right the “biggest terror threat”:…

Conservatives Wrestle Over How to Wallop Big Tech as Facebook Conducts Major Content Purge

“There is something deeply wrong with the social media economy.”

Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri suggests that social media giants have discovered a way to benefit financially by short-circuiting people’s rational thinking.

“The internal tensions of our goals seem irreconcilable. How do we preserve online data privacy for users of products whose very purpose is hyper personalized service? Or how is it possible to keep the digital platform free of criminal activity without inserting their own political biases into the editorializing that they are doing?” Hawley said Thursday during a Hoover Institute discussion on big tech.

“There is something deeply wrong with the social media economy. It is a source of peril. Users attention is bought and then sold to advertisers,” Hawley added. Facebook effectively uses algorithms and click bate material to hijack its users’ rational decision-making, Hawley noted before saying: “Social media users are investing in addiction.” The Daily Caller News Foundation attended Hawley’s discussion.

Court Allows Injured Louisiana Cop to Sue Black Lives Matter and Deray McKesson

This is some good news. A court in Louisiana has ruled unanimously that an injured police officer can sue the violent, racist group Black Lives Matter and its mouthpiece, DeRay McKesson, for causing his injury with its rioting.

The three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled at the end of last month that an injured Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the police officer has legal standing to sue Black Lives Matter agitator DeRay Mckesson for the July 2016, protest in which the officer was injured.

DA Charges Oakland Man With 3 Felonies After Attack on Conservative Activist at UC Berkeley

BERKELEY, Calif. (BCN) — The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office has filed three felony charges against an Oakland man who allegedly attacked a conservative activist at University of California at Berkeley’s Sproul Plaza last month.

Zachary Greenberg, 28, is charged with assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, battery with serious bodily injury and criminal threats for his alleged attack on Hayden Williams, an organizer with the conservative group Turning Point USA, while Williams was manning a table at Sproul Plaza on Feb. 19.

Democrats Try to Block Trump’s U.S. Exit From UN Paris Scheme

After years of playing defense, the “climate cult,” as numerous scientists have described man-made warming theorists, is striking back. Evidently hoping to destroy the U.S. economy and further build up Communist China’s under the guise of stopping “climate change,” Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill this week to ban the use of tax dollars by the Trump administration to withdraw from the United Nations Paris Agreement. In addition to keeping the United States shackled to the UN “global warming” scheme, the “Climate Action Now” Act, known as H.R. 9, would force the White House to develop a plan to massively restrict freedom and prosperity by slashing CO2 emissions. It is widely expected to die in the U.S. Senate. But Republicans In Name Only (RINOs) such as Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) are working to persuade others in the GOP to drink the dangerous climate Kool-Aid and jump on the alarmist bandwagon.

Lies of the Left, Part 3

The left has become the party that will do anything, say anything to gain authority and power. Our government is supposed to be a government of the people, for the people, by the people but the left has the opinion that it is a government of the government, for the government, by the government. One of our Founders, John Jay, first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, stated in the Federalist Papers #64 : “[T]he government must be a weak one indeed, if it should forget that the good of the whole can only be promoted by advancing the good of each of the parts or members which compose the whole.” He also stated, “Those who own the country ought to govern it.”

The government has been going down the path of dictatorship with every Democrat controlled government. Look at Detroit, Chicago, California and any other poverty-stricken city/State. They are all Democrat controlled. The top ghettos in America are all governed by Democrats and have been for decades. Baltimore has five of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the country, FIVE! [1] It is a bastion of democrat control. Every city/State that is dominated by Democrats have massive taxes, massive poverty and they legislate control of every area of a citizen’s life. They promise prosperity but NEVER deliver. Just look at all the promises the Democrats have made to black community yet they are still poor. Under Obama black unemployment skyrocketed for and wages fell.

Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘Hate Ban’ Isn’t About Safety — it’s About His Own Ego

Why should people with unpopular political views be allowed to have jobs?

Why is Alex Jones permitted to have a telephone?

It’s a serious question.

Facebook on Thursday announced that a small assortment of kooks — Alex Jones, Laura Loomer, Milo Yiannopoulos, Paul Joseph Watson, Paul Nehlen, Louis Farrakhan — will be permanently banned from Facebook, Instagram and other platforms it controls. Jones’ publication, Infowars, also will be banned. Praise of these figures, and expressions of support for them, also are to be prohibited.

Facebook is a private company and is under no legal obligation to provide accounts to figures whose views its executives find objectionable.

But how far do we want to extend that line of thinking?

There are about 30 cellphone-service providers in the United States, although the market is dominated by four of them: AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint. Federal regulation might prohibit them from discriminating against customers based on their political views, but the principle is the same. Why should Louis Farrakhan be allowed to use a telephone to spread his hateful message? Why should anybody sell him paper — or a pencil, for that matter? Think of the damage he might do with them.

[Comment: Internet social media companies need to be reclassified in the same boat as telephone companies. They are so huge now, they should be thought of as providing a service.]

NASA Prepares for “The God of Chaos” Asteroid to Arrive

NASA is already beginning preparations for the arrival of the asteroid called “The God of Chaos.” The asteroid is said to be approaching Earth and will come close to our planet in 2029.

The asteroid’s official name is 99942 Apophis. It is a 1,110-foot-wide asteroid named after the Egyptian god of chaos. It will fly as close to the Earth as some of the orbiting spacecraft panicking scientists.

99942 Apophis will come within 19,000 miles of Earth on April 13, a decade from now, but scientists at the Planetary Defense Conference are already preparing for the encounter, Newsweek reported. They plan to discuss the asteroid’s effects on Earth’s gravity, potential research opportunities and even how to deflect an incoming asteroid in a theoretical scenario.

New California School Books Slam-Dump Trump

Why Churches MUST open Christian Schools. Public Schools now the Devil’s Domain to Promote Evil

Our schools today are not places of higher learning but government re-education camps of propaganda to further the One World Order agenda where the world would live under the orders of one dictator. Never has this columnist seen such malfeasance as that being practiced in today’s schools, used to brainwash students and to control the very thoughts of them. Leftist thoughts that is.

In our public schools today, there are mandatory LGBTQ classes to indoctrinate minds that gay is OK and perversion is strength. No student is allowed to opt-out of these sick classes. This is shocking, destructive and downright nasty. No one could even think of such things happening in our schools back in the days when Communism and homosexuality were hidden and virtue expected.

As usual, California is the leader of dingbat rulings that then spread throughout the nation like a fast moving plague. What happens in California unfortunately does not stay in California.

The public schools, totally run by Communist Democrats, use valuable class time where classic education has been obliterated and replaced with indoctrination of left wing politics. Graduating students come out knowing absolutely nothing but pushing back on all things decent and joining protest marches.

The latest school ‘history’ books in California describe our legally voted-in president, Donald Trump as a “racist’ and ‘mentally ill.’ Over 68 million people voted Trump into office. This is who the majority of voters wanted in The Oval Office. But the leftist immediately began trying to “impeach” our duly elected President so that one of them could take over. Trying to impeach a just elected president is ridiculous. Especially since he immediately began to accomplish everything he promised.

Texas Bill Would Allow State to Sue Social Media Companies Like Facebook and Twitter Over Free Speech

A bill before the Texas Senate seeks to prevent social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter from censoring users based on their viewpoints. Supporters say it would protect the free exchange of ideas, but critics say the bill contradicts a federal law that allows social media platforms to regulate their own content.

The measure — Senate Bill 2373 by state Sen. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola — would hold social media platforms accountable for restricting users’ speech based on personal opinions. Hughes said the bill applies to social media platforms that advertise themselves as unbiased but still censor users. The Senate State Affairs Committee unanimously approved the bill last week. (Update: The Texas Senate approved the bill on April 25 in an 18-12 vote. It now heads to the House.)

The Administrative State’s Threat to the American Constitution

The founders did not consider the three branches of government to be equal. They anticipated that the legislative branch would be the most powerful (by virtue of the authority to make law) and that the judicial branch would be the least powerful of the three. Their concern with the power of the legislative branch was such that, as another of their checks and balances, they divided it into two chambers; a House of Representatives, elected directly by the people, and a Senate, appointed by the state legislatures. In this manner, each chamber would check the other, reducing the chances of a tyranny by the legislative branch.

Each piece of the mosaic was debated in depth during the four exceedingly hot months of the summer of 1787. All but three of the pieces were achieved by consensus; the three others addressed compromises on slavery, the rights of small states, and the electoral college.

John Steele Gordon, in a February 2019 article in Commentary Magazine, said:

To put it simply, the creation of the United States Constitution was the most successful act of statecraft in human history. (snip)

Within a century of its founding, the United States had grown from an undeveloped country dependent on the export of raw materials to the largest and most dynamic economy in the world. This was an exceptional, not to say astonishing, achievement.

The people of the United States under this exceptional Constitution have prospered and flourished. Various nations of the world have emulated aspects of the American experiment and they too have thrived. The Constitution is almost 250 years old with few amendments that have not altered, with the notable exceptions of the 16th and 17th, the principles and checks and balances of the original document.

But our Constitution is under attack from within.

The Killing of Free Speech in America

Alex Jones is only the beginning — if they can silence his voice, then the First Amendment is dead

President Trump came out in support of Infowars and the First Amendment, and now the panicked fake news media is trying to run interference for Big Tech’s draconian censorship policies and demonize Trump as an enemy of the press.

But the corporate media has a long and documented history of peddling false narratives worthy of scrutiny, and framing those who question them as “conspiracy theorists.”

This time, the MSM, in league with Big Tech, is against the ropes as their false narratives collapse, while Infowars continues making headways in truth-telling, exposing the New World Order model, and promoting a message of freedom.

Tough Girl Knocks MAGA Hat Off Male Student… Gets Arrested… Cries Like a Baby [Video]

When the police arrived, they approached the girl with the victim’s MAGA hat, at which point she dropped and kicked the hat.

The police can be seen arresting the girl in the purple shirt without incident. The girl dressed in black with a hood covering her head and her face covered by a black handkerchief can be seen resisting arrest, as police are forced to restrain her as they place handcuffs on her. The tough girl dressed in black and one of their (brave) friends can be seen crying like babies when they realize they are about to have to pay for their crime of assaulting an innocent person simply because they hold political views they don’t agree with.

The best line in the video comes when the police officer asks the male student if he wants to press charges, and he says, “yes.”

Trump Pushes Back on Censorship… Tweets Video of Hateful Left Attacking Black Trump Supporters From Banned News Site

This week, conservative-leaning media with massive followings on social media, like 100 Percent Fed Up, who has almost 1.7 million followers on Facebook, were rocked to the core when we discovered top conservative personalities like Laura Loomer, and Paul Joseph Watson were banned from Facebook.

Alex Jones, founder of InfoWars, and far-left anti-Semitic hate preacher, Louis Farrakhan were also banned from Facebook on the same day. While we don’t agree with much of what Alex Jones has to say, many times he does make some very valid points. On the other hand, there isn’t a single thing that comes out of hate-preacher, Louis Farrahkan’s mouth we agree with, but we certainly don’t believe that anyone has the right to away his ability to say what he believes in a public forum. No one is being forced to read what he says, or to believe anything that comes out of his vile mouth.

Yesterday, President Trump responded to the takedown of conservative voices by Facebook with a tweet, assuring Americans that he is monitoring the censorship of Americans on social media.

“I am continuing to monitor the censorship of AMERICAN CITIZENS on social media platforms. This is the United States of America — and we have what’s known as FREEDOM OF SPEECH! We are monitoring and watching, closely!!”

Earlier today, President Trump retweeted these two tweets from journalist Sharyl Atkisson asking when Americans decided it was okay for the government or 3rd parties to censor/curate our opinions, telling us what is or isn’t legitimate discourse?

But what they are doing now is not enough, he said.

An open letter, published online by Libération and on its own website, entitled: “Gilets jaunes: We are not fooled!”, showed support for the “movement, which [those in] power are seeking to discredit and severely reprimand, even though the most threatening violence is [actually] economic and social.”

Italy: Historic EU Challenge, Stop Technocracy — Conte

Relaunch European democracy tells State of Union

(ANSA) — Rome, May 3 — Europe has in front of it an historic challenge and “the great integration project must recoup identity and propulsive force”, Premier Giuseppe Conte said Friday.

Speaking at the State of the Union, Conte said a reflection “presupposing a deep and courageous self-consciousness” was not to be avoided.

In order to relaunch democracy in Europe, he said, what is needed is “courageous action for alternative solutions to those purely technocratic which have proven to be, not only in Italy, a failure”.

The European Council should be given the instruments it needs to make major moves on jobs and wages, Conte said.

He also said the EU should set up humanitarian corridors for migrants and give money to Africa to help stem their flows.

Swedish Muslims Look to Foreign Funding to Build Mega Mosque

The Muslim community in the Swedish municipality of Växjö has increased so dramatically, according to local leaders, that they are now planning to build a giant mosque to hold at least 1,000 people, possibly with the help of foreign backers in the Middle East.

Local imam Ismail Abuhelal said that the current mosque, the Växjö Muslim Foundation which was founded around 15 years ago, is simply not big enough to house the growing number of worshippers in the area, Lokaltidningen reports.

UK Imam: War is Coming, Muslims Can Take Women as Sex Slaves

An Imam has told his congregation in Wales that war is approaching and Islam allows them to take women as slaves and rape them.

Ali Hammuda is an Imam at Cardiff’s Al-Manar Mosque, where three Islamic State (IS) fighters worshipped before travelling to Syria. They were known as the “Cardiff jihadis” before one was killed in an RAF drone strike as he was thought to be plotting attacks in the UK.

Before the strike, Reyaad Khan and Nasser Muthana, then both 20, appeared in an IS recruiting video in 2014 where they bragged about executing prisoners. Muthana’s younger brother Aseel, then aged 17, joined them in Syria.

UK: Police Are Letting Suspects Go Free Because Custody Suite Closures Have Left Them Facing 60-Mile Journeys to Fingerprint and Charge Them

Suspected criminals are reportedly avoiding arrest because mammoth drives to police stations are too much of a hassle and often make pressing charges impossible.

Officers are having to let drink-drivers go free because their blood alcohol level drops below the legal limit by the time they are taken into custody, meaning they cannot be prosecuted.

Offenders in Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland have to be hauled a staggering 63 miles to Newcastle upon Tyne or 65 miles to Wallsend to have DNA swabs taken or be charged.

Viktor Orbán: “Money, Safety, Market. Today There Are Already Three Europe, But We Pretend There is Only One”

Every country should participate in the economic union — including the UK and Turkey in the future. Matteo Salvini is the hero who stopped migration by sea. There is an agreement for a new Eu, and the European People’s Party must work with the forces on the Right

alberto simoni Viktor Orbán, the man who wants to redraw the EU’s map of power, arrives punctually in the library of the former Carmelite Monastery; the office of the Prime Minister of Hungary is two doors away on the right. He hides his jet lag well: a few hours ago he arrived back from China, where he shook hands with thirty-six leaders from around the world and signed agreements related to the “New Silk Road”. When it comes to money, one should not be too choosy, regardless of whether that money is in yuan or dollars, or whether one is talking about Hungary or Italy; and Orbán says that Conte did well in concluding agreements with Xi Jinping.

Blue shirt, casual blue jacket, jeans. He looks down on the capital city from a hill in Buda which rises from the West bank of the Danube; he radiates “patriotic” pride suffused with identity (as explained later in this exclusive interview with La Stampa) as he explains to us that the whole of Budapest has been renewed: “shattered by bombing, but rebuilt by us”…

Jordanian MPs Vote Against Gas Imports From Israel

(Cairo) Speculation is rife on whether Egypt will step in to provide Jordan with its full natural gas needs, after the Jordanian parliament called for revoking a 2016 natural gas import deal with Israel.

A majority of parliament members led a motion in the Jordanian parliament on March 26 to force the national electricity company to nullify the deal which is expected to come into effect early next year. The motion causes embarrassment to King Abdullah II of Jordan whose government believes that importing gas from nearby sources will save a lot of money. Nevertheless, Jordanian lawmakers say principles are far more important than money.

“Our government has decided to buy the gas from a country that occupies the land of other peoples,” said Jordanian lawmaker Tareq Khouri. “We would be paying billions of dollars to a country that steals the natural resources of another people, namely the Palestinian people.”…

Pig ‘Ebola’ Virus Sends Shock Waves Through Global Food Chain

What started with a few dozen dead pigs in northeastern China is sending shock waves through the global food chain. Last August, a farm with fewer than 400 hogs on the outskirts of Shenyang was found to harbor African swine fever, the first ever occurrence of the contagious viral disease in the country with half the world’s pigs. Forty-seven head had died, triggering emergency measures including mass culling and a blockade to stop the transportation of livestock. Within days, a government notice proclaimed the outbreak “effectively controlled.” It was too late. By then, the disease had literally gone viral, dispersed across hundreds of miles in sickened animals, contaminated food, and in dirt and dust on truck tires and clothing. Nine months later, the contagion has spread nationwide, crossed borders to Mongolia, Vietnam and Cambodia, and bolstered meat markets globally. While official estimates count 1 million culled hogs, slaughter data suggest 100 times more will be removed from China’s 440 million-strong swine herd in 2019, the Chinese zodiac’s “year of the pig.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecast in April a decline of 134 million head — equivalent to the entire annual output of American pigs — and the worst slump since the department began counting China’s pigs in the mid 1970s.

‘DACA’ Illegal With Several Arrests Gets Slap on the Wrist for Killing 4-Year-Old Boy

The death of another child at the hands of an illegal was 100% preventable!

Illegal alien Jose Armelio Gonzalez-Flores, 29, was just given a slap on the wrist in a plea deal for killing a 4-year-old. It’s not like this is the man’s first arrest either. He’s been in trouble with the police since 2014! How many chances does he get to be punished for his crimes? There are so many cases reported of illegal aliens committing crimes like this one after being arrested numerous times. This is pathetic.

Gonzalez-Flores had been convicted 10 times for various misdemeanors in Chesterfield County, Virginia from 2014 to 2018, including driving without a license, driving on a suspended license, speeding, reckless driving and failure to appear. He also was convicted for driving without a license in Williamsburg in 2015 and for speeding in Texas in 2014, court records state.

The judge sentenced him to only 4 years.

Buttigieg on Privilege: I ‘Check Myself’ To Understand Advantages of ‘Whiteness or Maleness’

Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg (D) revealed in multiple interviews this week that he has to “check himself” because it is sometimes difficult to see the ways in which he has benefited from his “whiteness or maleness.”

Time magazine, which has Buttigieg on its cover this week, acknowledged that “running a campaign based on narrative has long been a privilege reserved for men,” and “Buttigieg’s maleness and whiteness has undoubtedly benefited him, even as women and people of color become increasingly central to the Demo­crats’ 2020 coalition.”

Left-Wing Ideology: A Cult, A Religion, Or Science?

Leftists’ behavior is utterly illogical to a degree one might call unscientific. Their irrationality is based on illusory knowledge — i.e., knowledge acquired through a system of beliefs, expressed by well known authorities (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Bernstein, Stalin, Hitler, Trotsky, Mao, and many others). Left-wingers acquired their false, Utopian beliefs throughout the entire history of human civilization. Their undisputed belief of multiplying wealth by dividing it (i.e., by redistributing it by force) was the basis of numerous failed social experiments.

To avoid any confusion, let us provide adequate definitions of socialism (promoted by left-wing ideology) and its antithesis, capitalism (promoted by the free-market, or conservative, ideology).

Socialism is a state of society where most wealth, either de jure or de facto, belongs to a government.

Capitalism is a state of society where most wealth, both de jure and de facto, belongs to its citizens.

Communism is a Utopian state of society where all wealth, both de jure and de facto, belongs to a government.

The adherents of both left-wing and right-wing philosophy have knowledge; however, the left-wingers got their knowledge from the system of beliefs, while right-wingers got their knowledge from the trial-and-error development of human civilization. Leftism will accompany society forever because pseudo-science always runs in parallel to science. As in a social life where leftism is the ideology of mostly lumpen (lazy bums), autocrats, and elites, the pseudo-science feeds on real science as left-wingers feed on civilization built mostly by right-wingers.

There is a simple test to distinguish between scientific knowledge and the pseudo-scientific kind. The test is based on the fact that the human reaction to new information that contradicts the original knowledge depends on the method of acquiring that original knowledge.

  1. Italy to EU:

    How about No? Is no good enough for you? Because we want no more migrants. Capiche?

  2. It sickens me to have to put in a plug once again for pizzaidf.org…
    But here we are again with Israel’s young adults called to put their life on the line.
    This charity is the real thing run by volunteers. Way back during the 2nd antifada I had several email exchanges with Menachem the founder of pizza IDF. He is an artist by trade, a photographer. He is now rather long in the tooth and the charity has been taken over by his son and his wife.
    The concept is simple; you send money and they arrange to have local restaurants make food and deliver it. This way local communities like Sderot get business and the soldiers get pizza or burgers. Having seen MC’s video accounts, no one is going out to dinner… So, the local restaurants suffer.
    This is one way to help Sderot and the IDF soldiers get a pizza and some coke. They used to have other items like soup and chicken but it seems they have paired down their menu. I think they still do Purim baskets but this is not the season.
    Over the years, when ever there is a “flare up” I usually donate and have received some very nice emails in return. So, if you are looking for some small thing you could do, please consider Pizza IDF. I stand by them 100%

  3. Western woman needs to STOP voting socialist and begin having 2 or more babies.
    Marriage might help, too, if any young man can stand your brainless cultural Marxism trope.

    • What the West “needs” is more marriages. Kids raised without both parents present in the house are far less likely to do well. Not that there aren’t exceptions, but single-parent households generally don’t thrive.

      • More marriages would be good; however any Western woman worth being married usually already is. The truth is, many women in the West are poor candidates for marriage, not knowing basic household skills and no inclination to learn, infected with feminist thinking along with std’s from their numerous casual hookups, and tatted and pierced to the point that even liberated feminist mothers of potential husbands would be appalled. And many of the males that are available and single for these females are no catch either. Several generations of males raised by wymen has done its damage well.

        The best thing that could happen is for those who have been made unmarriageable by poor upbringing and life choices to never procreate so their dysfunction doesn’t infect the next generation, while those who are functional and married raise their replacements.
