Don’t Misquote Me.

It’s been claimed that I said “all blacks are felonious homicidal maniacs.” Let’s be clear: I never said that. That would be ridiculous. What I said was:

Isn’t it time that we admit that blacks are largely a race of criminals who have a pathological inability to live in civilized society? It’s well documented that more than half of all homicides and nearly half of all violent crimes, are committed by blacks. 

I stand behind that statement, and I think that the facts back that up. In fact, the evidence is overwhelmin:

  • Blacks are 13% of the population, but commit 43 to 53 percent of the murders (due to year to year variation) For example, in 2018, 43% of homicides were committed by blacks.
  • Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
  • When a black person is the perpetrator, forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic.
  • When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.
  • Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
  • Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.
  • In San Francisco, Blacks are the perpetrators of 85% of ALL violent assaults, and Asians are the victims in more than 98% of those crimes.
  • Black women are 3 times more likely to likely to be unwed teen mothers than other races, 4 times more likely to commit murder, deal drugs, become prostitutes, or be murdered than any other race.
  • Asians are only 4% of the population, but make up 20% of the student body in Ivy League schools.
  • The 20 cities in the US with the highest murder rates are majority black cities.
  • The CDC reports that the leading cause of death among black men age 15 to 44 is homicide. 20% of all black women who die between the age of 15 and 24 are murdered, and 92% of the time, it is another black person who did it.
  • Among men, blacks (28.5%) are about six times more likely than whites (4.4%) to be admitted to prison during their life.
  • Among women, 3.6% of blacks and 0.5% of whites will enter prison at least once. (U.S. Department of Justice)
  • Based on current rates of incarceration, an estimated 7.9% of black males compared to 0.7% of white males will enter Federal prison by the time they are age 20 .
  • 21.4% of black males versus 1.4% of white males will be incarcerated by age 30. (U.S. Department of Justice)
  • More black men are in prison in America than are in college. (The Black and White of Justice, Freedom Magazine, Volume 128) 

Is it ALL blacks? No, it isn’t. However, the evidence is overwhelming that a black man is just as likely to be incarcerated as he is to earn a 4 year degree. You can claim that this is some sort of conspiracy in the US to keep blacks poor, or that US citizens are secretly engaged in some sort of plot to discriminate, but that is easily disproven by looking elsewhere.

If the US were engaged in this sort of plot, there would be loads of successful black nations all over the world. Point to one.

It is so rare that the only successful black country is a fictional one. Wakanda.

That supports my original thesis: On average, Blacks either won’t or can’t form successful societies. I didn’t invent that. It’s just where the evidence leads. Instead of calling out the messenger, anyone who disagrees should busy themselves trying to fix it.

Weary

I do get so weary of the debate about transexuality. The worn out argument that trannies try to make is that, because about 1 in 1,000 live births involve Klinfelter’s syndrome, there can be no objective definition of what men and women are. That is silly nonsense. First, some biology:

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. When we reproduce, the DNA in the reproductive cells splits, and those cells contain 23 chromosomes instead of 23 pairs. When a sperm and an egg meet, their DNA combines to again form 23 pairs.

The 23rd pair is the one that determines gender. In that 23rd pair, a man is one who has a Y chromosome as one of those chromosomes. All fetuses begin as female. The Y chromosome tells the developing fetus to grow male reproductive organs. Those reproductive organs then cause the development of secondary male characteristics like a male skeletal structure, etc. The absence of that Y chromosome means that the fetus remains female in structure.

That is how it is supposed to work, but there are sometimes defects that occur in that incredibly complex process. Perhaps the meiotic division in one of the parent haploid cells (its usually the mother’s) didn’t properly take place. In that case, the fetus winds up one chromosome (or part of one chromosome) too many or too few.

One chromosome missing means that one chromosome is left without its matching pair and is called a monosomy or partial monosomy. That usually results in miscarriage. Occasionally it doesn’t. If part of one chromosome is missing, this is called a partial monosomy. An example is part of the 5th pair missing, called Cri du chat syndrome. A missing chromosome at the 23rd pair can also be survivable. If there is only a single X and no matching X or Y, the fetus is female and has Turner’s syndrome. Is there is only a Y with no matching X, miscarriage. Less than 1 in 10,000 live births has a monosomy.

Sometimes there is one chromosome too many. This is called a trisomy, and trisomies are more survivable than monosomies. Trisomies are classified by which chromosomal pairs they occur at. For example, if the spare chromosome is in the:

There are others, but you get the point. Trisomies are abnormal conditions. About 3 in every 1,000 live births has some sort of trisomy.

The one that the left is most concerned with is a trisomy at the 23rd pair, which results in XXY and is called Klinefelter’s syndrome. Since there is a Y chromosome present, a person with this syndrome usually has male genitalia, but occasionally will be indeterminate sex (also called intersex) or will appear female. People with Klinefelter’s are infertile and cannot reproduce, making it a genetic dead end. About 1 in 1,000 people have Klinefelter’s. It is a birth defect, no different than other genetic defects. That doesn’t mean we modify the definition of male and female so you can make the rest of us dance to your tune. The exception doesn’t mean that we change the rule.

Now to be clear, people with birth defects still have rights, are still human, and deserve treatment. What I have an issue with is people with mental problems latching on to a birth defect that happens in less than 0.5% of all humans and using that to justify their aberrant and sexually deviant behavior.

This is no different than a person faking a limp so they can park in handicapped parking, or go to the head of the line at a theme park. You are wearing the modern equivalent of blackface so that you can force the rest of us to treat your mental illness as if it were normal behavior.

If you want to believe that you are a different sex than the one you were born with, the odds are overwhelming that you do not have Klinefelter’s. You most likely have a mental illness. The fact that it has become trendy in some circles to pretend otherwise doesn’t change the objective facts.

Trannies can wear gender bending outfits. I don’t care, as long as you aren’t hurting anyone else. What I do care about is when you demand that the rest of us play along with your delusion or when you attempt to inflict it on children. Live and let live goes both ways. Stop trying to convert us into your mental illness.

US Military Running Out of Money & Supplies

The US has sent about $49 billion in aid to the Ukraine so far in 2022. That is about $1.75 billion per week, or $1,100 for every man, woman, and child in Ukraine. Meanwhile, the US Air Force has announced pay cuts to some airmen, citing lack of funds as the reason.

Not only that, but it turns out that the US military doesn’t have enough artillery shells, rockets, and missiles. It turns out that we have given the Ukraine 800,000 shells for 155mm artillery pieces and another 108,000 shells for 105mm cannons. Nearly a million shells given away, and we don’t have enough as it is.

That isn’t smart.

Early Season

In Florida, our summers are marked by two weather related things: it is already at least 75 degF at sunrise, and we get a sea breeze driven rainstorm most afternoons between 3 and 8 pm.

The change to fall is marked by a shift in rain patterns. Instead of afternoon driven downpours, fall sees slower, constant rain that can last for days. This usually begins around mid September, and last until the end of November, although the rains usually are done by the end of October. I remember one year that it rained all of Thanksgiving week- that Monday all the way until Sunday.

Anyhow, we have our first fall rain storm today:

The best news is that our morning temperatures are dropping into the low 70s. Last week, the low at my house was 78 degF, and the high was 97. Today, the low was 72.

Fall is about two weeks early in Central Florida this year.

Not Embarrassing at All

According to MSNBC, Governor Desantis has turned Florida into an international embarrassment. Why? Because the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination has declared that Florida’s HB 1: Combating Public Disorder is a violation of human rights. The claim here is that the new law unduly restricts the right to peaceful assembly following antiracism protests of 2020. It seems that the UN is claiming that the Republicans “cherry-picked isolated incidents of violence in an effort to portray all antiracist protesters as dangerous and to delegitimize their cause.”

What exactly does this law say that makes it so racially discriminatory? The law says that if you are a part of a riot, you are committing a crime. The law makes it a felony to deface or damage property during a riot, commit burglary or loot businesses during a riot, and creates a mandatory six month minimum jail term for attacking a cop during a riot.

The left is claiming that this is illegal because the riots of 2020 were “mostly peaceful.” See, according to the left, if an assembly contains a thousand people but only 250 of them were actively committing violent acts, then it is a mostly peaceful event. That definition doesn’t apply if the protesters are not liberals, though. Just ask them about J6. Hell, according to the left, it’s violence to use the wrong pronouns when talking about someone.

DeSantis responded to the UN report by saying that the people of Florida are the only ones who matter in this discussion. I agree. Let’s take a look at just WHO is on this UN committee.

  • Ms. LI Yanduan from China. Because China has a great record on racial discrimination. Just ask the Uyghurs.
  • Ms. ALI Al-MISNAD Sheikha Abdulla of Qatar, whose rich residents still maintain women in forced labor.
  • Mr. AMIR Noureddin of Algeria, whose secret police make anti government protesters “disappear” for torture, there is no freedom of the press, and women are chattel (Muslim law).
  • There is a Korean representative. Korea still allows people to be refused service if they are not ethnically Korean.
  • The German delegate is an Iranian born Muslim.
  • Turkey, that bastion of human rights, has a delegate.
  • The Ivory Coast sits on it, even though they still use slaves to harvest cocoa.
  • The remaining countries have poor human rights records. Most of them are third world shitholes whose residents wish they lived here in Florida, where our poorest black residents live better than the richest of their own nations.

Half of the 18 nations represented on the board are African. A quarter of them follow Sharia law. So with a membership like that, they have no room lecturing Florida on human rights.

In short, I flat don’t give a flying rat’s ass what the UN has to say about Florida or its laws. I also don’t care what the liberal assholes at NBC have to say about it.

Here is the honest truth: If you don’t live in Florida, your opinion doesn’t matter. If you do live here, you are free to protest- just don’t commit violent acts while doing it. Don’t tear up people’s stuff.

It’s Political

Precedent. If you get two acts that were committed, but are declaring one to be illegal and the other not, you are being a political hypocrite unless you can articulate a reasonable explanation as to why one situation is fundamentally different than the other.

So Trump has records at his house that are left over from his Presidency. You claim that it is because he can’t keep anything from his time in the White House.

Then explain why it wasn’t a crime when Obama did the same thing, keeping tractor trailer loads of records from the White House, while shredding tens of thousands of documents.

”In a break from tradition, Barack Obama’s presidential library is actually opting out of any sort of relationship with the National Archives…Meanwhile gone with the wind are all scandals that took place when Obama was in the Oval Office. How did Obama get away with it? When you can go about fundamentally transforming America after bragging before the election that this was your intention, to get away with it and continue in private life to try to overturn the results of the 2016 election, you can get away with most anything. 

Or how about the time that Clinton kept records from when he was President. Judicial Watch actually sued over that one, and the court ruled that Presidents have the ability to rule certain records to be personal property, and are thus exempt from public records acts.

The case in question is titled Judicial Watch v. National Archives and Records Administration and it involved an effort by the conservative watchdog to compel the Archives to forcibly seize hours of audio recordings that Clinton made during his presidency with historian Taylor Branch.

Here is the important part:

But Jackson’s ruling — along with the Justice Department’s arguments that preceded it — made some other sweeping declarations that have more direct relevance to the FBI’s decision to seize handwritten notes and files Trump took with him to Mar-a-Lago. The most relevant is that a president’s discretion on what are personal vs. official records is far-reaching and solely his, as is his ability to declassify or destroy records at will.

To those who are all over the classification issue, both Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama signed executive orders — which remain in force to this day — declaring that presidents have sweeping authority to declassify secrets and do not have to follow the mandatory declassification procedures all other government officials do.

So anyone who says otherwise, provide the reasons why these cases do not apply to Trump. The White House certainly can’t. That makes this political.

History Rhymes

In a nation weakened by worldwide economic issues and a world that has grown weary of war and strife, a chief executive struggles

The head law enforcement officer of the nation, acting on orders of the chief executive, orders a raid on the opposition party’s headquarters. There, the police find evidence of seditious material, including a plot to attack public buildings. The chief executive takes to the airwaves with claims that the opposition is planning to attack the capitol.

Shortly thereafter, the capitol is attacked, and one of the men arrested in an unemployed construction worker who admits to being under the command of the leader of the opposition party. The chief executive declares, “we must crush out this murderous pest with an iron fist.”

A few hours later, the chief executive issued an executive order that effectively abolished freedom of speech, assembly, privacy and the press; legalized phone tapping and interception of correspondence; and that 4,000 people be arrested, imprisoned and tortured.

Later that year, a sensational criminal trial got under way. The man who burned the Capitol, the leader of the opposition party, and several key figures of the opposition party went on trial for sedition.

As the trial proceeded, a different kind of trial captured the public discourse. A member of the opposition undertook an independent investigation of the destruction of the Capitol. The combined research resulted in the publication of The Brown Book on the Insurrection. It included early accounts police brutality, as well as an argument that the insurrectionists were simply pawns. The chief executive’s party members were the real criminals, the book argued, and they orchestrated the insurrection to consolidate political power. The book became a bestseller, translated into 24 languages and sold around Europe and the U.S.

At any rate, a full 5% of the legislature was declared to be in league with the accused insurrection. They were imprisoned and held for a trial that would never come. Their seats were left vacant, and the leader’s party was free to hold legislative referendums without them present. Kind of like this:

Fearing that the insurrectionists were gaining enough power to become a threat to the very nation, the legislature passed an enabling act that temporarily granted emergency legislative powers to the chief executive so that he and the head of the nation’s law enforcement could deal with the spreading insurrection. Soon thereafter, the chief executive passed away after a sudden and brief illness. The chief law enforcement executive then declared himself to be the new chief executive, then used his emergency powers to pass a law declaring himself to be the permanent head of government and disbanded the legislature. He ordered jailed anyone who opposed his new powers.

Every bit of the preceding story actually happened, and this rise to power was 100 percent within the law. It was years of planning and meticulous use of legal loopholes that allowed this dictator to set the entire world on fire.

Anyone familiar with history knows that this is a common story. The story above is modeled on Hitler’s rise to power, but that example is not the only time that a national emergency has been seized upon by a would be dictator to enable his rise to power. It could easily be applied to any number of historical power grabs.

Like now.

A Love of Reading

When I was a kid, I liked to read. My mother used to get me books, and the first books I remember reading were the Hardy Boys. I got to the point that I could read a Hardy Boys book in about 45 minutes by the time I was in the second grade.

I loved reading so much that the school librarian began paying me with Oreos to place returned library books to the shelf for her. I became a voracious reader, often reading an author’s entire contribution to the library in a few days.

Soon after that, Boys’ Life magazine published the Heinlein story Between Planets. I remember enjoying the story so much that it turned me on to SciFi. Star Wars came out, followed by fan fiction novels like Foster’s Splinter of the Mind’s Eye, which in my mind is a better story than any of the Star Wars sequels by Disney.

I soon had read every Heinlein, Clarke, and Asimov book in the library. I moved on to novels like Silent Ship, Silent Sea, the Guadalcanal Diary and more. So many I can’t even remember them all.

The came the Mack Bolan books, the Penetrator, and many other pulp fiction novels of the late 70s and early 80s.

This shaped my childhood, my view of the world, and an intense love of my country. It also made me who I am. By the time I was 12 years old, I was maxing out reading tests. I was reading at the level of a college senior, 300 words per minute with 85% comprehension. Reading fiction became a way to energize the brain and make complex thought not only possible, but enjoyable.

Now contrast that with what kids are being fed today. Pushed away from reading books into reading trash on social media. A constant stream of tranny, communist propaganda.

It’s no wonder that we have lost a nation. Our nation, brain dead and on life support, is soon to see its plug pulled. The artificial life support of endless fiat cash is becoming toxic to the very systems it is supposed to keep running. The land that I grew up in is gone.

Can we change it? Is there enough there that it can be saved? I don’t think that there is. We are entering a dark age where people no longer read, no longer think, and knowledge is of little value. We value the athlete more than the scientist. Most people, including scientists, don’t even know what science or the scientific method is.

It saddens me to see our nation dying, one idiot at a time.

Make them Pay

Three 14 year old children did $100,000 in damages to a local middle school. Instead of jail, make them and their parents pay for the damages. I would give them a choice of payment terms for the $33,000:

  • Five years would be at 3% interest for a monthly payment of $593.
  • Seven years would be at 4% interest for a monthly payment of $451.
  • Ten years would be at 5% interest for a monthly payment of $350.
  • Fifteen years would be at 7% interest for a monthly payment of $296.

Make it non-dischargeable in bankruptcy. If they are on the dole, then deduct it from their welfare checks, or better yet, they get no welfare until the debt is repaid. There will be no penalty for early repayment. Also, the remaining debt would be deducted from any lottery winnings or tax refunds that they may receive.

I don’t give a shit if they wind up homeless or poor. No one would care about making me homeless or poor if I don’t pay the taxes needed to repair the damage.
