This Senator says, I think correctly, that Americans aren't reproducing at replacement rates. Okay, but how did we get here? A multifactor analysis:

The Government wants you dead, but they'll settle for enslaved. We live behind enemy lines.

As representative for the male delegation, the best we can offer for her is a guy named Scott who is 5’9 who makes $75,000 a year in Denver, Colorado. He still watches NELK videos and has a bad knee. He has a good heart and is pretty good at tennis (JV county champ).

That boat has tons of jizz in the cushions. You can go on the boat, just don't sit down.

Hear me out. I’ve been drinking a little bit tonight and have a great idea for a game show:
Eleven gay men and one straight man are locked in a house. The objective for the gay men is to find out who isn’t gay.
Once a week, someone gets voted out until two are left or the straight man is out. If the gay men vote him out, they win $1 million. If the straight man is among the last two, he wins $1 million.
Now here’s the twist: None of the men are actually gay; they all think they are the one straight man.

You're letting a 6 yo determine what's best for your family.
What's it like to live without testicles?

Wife and I found an amazing house today on 2 acres of land in a very nice neighborhood. Significant upgrade from our current home/yard/hood.
The kiddos want to veto it because they would have to switch elementary schools. They are in 2nd grade and kindergarten.
Dad advice?

The year is 80 BC. You are a slave on a Roman estate. Your master eats reclining on cushions: suckling pig, lamb, oysters brought in from Baiae. You are fed puls. Puls is grain boiled in water until it forms a thick grey paste. You eat it in the morning. You eat it in the evening. You will eat it every day of your life until you die, probably around thirty, from something that a better diet would have prevented. The Romans call the lower orders pultiphagonists. Porridge-eaters. It is not a compliment.
The year is 1150. You are an English peasant. The forest belongs to the Crown. Killing a deer is a capital offence. Killing a rabbit costs you a hand. Your diet is pottage, which is grain and vegetables boiled for days in a cauldron that is never fully emptied, and maslin bread, which is barley and rye compressed into a dense brown loaf that would break a modern oven. Meat arrives on feast days. When it does, the family watches the lord's steward weigh it.
The year is 1750. You are an Irish tenant. The potato has arrived, and with it, the mathematical possibility of feeding your family on two acres instead of ten. You eat potatoes three times a day. Your landlord, in Dublin or London, eats beef three times a week. When the blight comes in 1845 you discover what happens to a population that has been narrowed down to a single crop. A million die. A million leave. The landlord continues to eat beef.
The year is 1845. You are a slave on a Virginia plantation. Your weekly ration is a peck of cornmeal and three pounds of salt pork, most of which is fat. The meat ration exists because the owners have learned, across generations, that a slave fed purely on cornmeal cannot do the work. The meat is the minimum, not the standard. The master's house eats pork, ham, chicken, and venison from the woods your ancestors were forbidden to hunt in.
The year is 1950. You are a peasant in Cilento, southern Italy. The war has ended. The economy has not recovered. You eat bread, pasta, whatever vegetables the plot produces, and olive oil because the trees grow on land that produces almost nothing else. Meat appears on Sundays, if it appears at all. You are not choosing this. You are eating it because it is what there is.
The year is 1959. An American physiologist called Ancel Keys arrives in your village with a clipboard. He notes the absence of heart disease. He notes the presence of bread and pasta and olive oil. He does not, or does not emphasise, the fact that you would kill for a steak, that your grandfather remembers when there was meat on the table, that the entire dietary pattern he is about to name and export to the world is not a philosophy but a budget constraint.
He calls it the Mediterranean diet.
The year is 1975. Keys publishes his book. The Mediterranean diet becomes the healthiest diet on earth. The UN eventually makes it a cultural heritage. The population it was modelled on is, by this point, abandoning it as fast as it can afford to, because prosperity has arrived in Cilento and prosperity, given a choice, has always chosen meat.
Now it is today.
The diet that was forced on slaves, imposed on peasants, and endured by post-war Italians because they had no alternative, has been rebranded as the aspirational eating pattern of the affluent Western professional.
The people selling it to you can afford to eat whatever they want.
They have chosen to sell you the diet of the people who couldn't.
That is not a coincidence.
It has never been a coincidence.
The diet of poverty has always been plants. The diet of freedom, wherever freedom has existed, has always been meat. The first thing a liberated people has ever done, across every century and every continent, is eat an animal. The last thing a ruling class has ever done, before a collapse, is tell everyone else not to.
You are being told not to.
Draw your own conclusions.

My Dad's high school "drug talk" with me was just a story about two guys in his platoon who smoked weed and fell asleep outside the wire, and the VC slit their throats and cut off their dicks. So whenever I smoked weed in Cave Creek, Arizona, I always kept watch for the Viet Cong

@realsashastone He's bought into the idea that the City of London has been running the same playbook for 400 years and the world needs a realignment to American control.
@PrometheanActn and @TFL1728 have the goods.
I think they're right. It's the only thing that makes sense.

To say Trump has been captured by neocons is to either be ignorant of who Trump is or a lie. Trump was never the isolationist. He was never someone like JD Vance or Tulsi. He allied with them but that's not who he ever was.

Bees can be blue. For example, the carpenter bee is a non aggressive species of blue bees that produce very thick honey.

Her: What are you thinking about
Me thinking about how during the Oklahoma City Bombing Timothy McVeigh supposedly alone parked one Ryder truck full of ammonium nitrate fuel oil outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and that single explosion somehow took out reinforced concrete columns (designed to withstand that exact explosion) which killed 168 people but seismographs at both the Omniplex 4.3 miles away and in Norman 16 miles away recorded two distinct low-frequency wave trains about 10 seconds apart (like demolition sequencing) and also local news reported additional bombs found and removed from inside the building for hours afterward but then the FBI stepped in and shut it all down and then key witnesses and investigators just kept dying mysteriously like when Kenneth Trentadue (identical to John Doe #2) got arrested on a minor violation and was then found dead beaten slashed and hanged in a suicide-proof federal cell and then the inmate who witnessed his death and blamed the guards hanged himself too and then the national hero first responder who pulled survivors out and said it wasn’t what they were claiming was found with slashed wrists and arms and neck and shot in the head and dumped in a field (ruled a suicide) and then they demolished the rest of the building in the middle of the night and hauled away all the evidence (including the Whitewater files) and it just never got investigated again: Nothing babe
