Taking the Bleak Pill and the Path That Follows

Today I’m going to give you a pill. It’s not the red one or the blue one. It may look like the black one, but it’s not saying ‘give up’. Welcome to the Bleak Pill. The Bleak Pill tells you that things are very, very bad and that despite Trump being President, despite the UN being in financial trouble, and despite some notable successes we are still losing. Most particularly, we are losing in the sense that the capacity of the other side to commit crimes and encourage evil, but worse their capacity to make more and more people support evil, isn’t reducing. It’s increasing.

Comments:

He's right. Trump has been spectacularly successful in some things, but he is not paying enough attention to the real chance of civil war (and several other things), as the left gains power. He doesn't seem in control of either foreign policy or domestic policy.

Pretty much sums it up for me, especially the last sentence, because that's what it's going to take. Start in the streets. The left assumes that it owns them, and the violence option, because historically it has. We've allowed it. When that changes, and it's going to....

Come on, man. PDJT 2.0 is only working 20 hours a day. I don’t know how many irons he had in the fire. We have to do our part, too. Not just posting and commenting on articles like these. Also, he’s fighting the agitprop media who amplify leftist propaganda; theirs as well other DemoRoids’. There was rising rhetoric on both sides before the American Civil War but it didn’t start until Southern DemoRoids fired on Ft. Sumpter. I don’t think PDJT wants to start the Civil War that the left wants. We’ll have the high ground if they fire the (figurative, I hope) first shot.

The criminal activity of the left is increasing --- because the DOJ and the GOP Congress has not lifted a finger to stop it. Trump works 365/24/7 and has had no help. The DOJ can't seem to get anything done. The GOP Congress apparently has 6 months PTO each year, and is unwilling to take any steps to get anything done, allowing the Democrats to run the Congress from the minority position.

Absurdistan is avoiding the CCP/Marxist-planned and led, plutocrat-funded revolution on the streets of America this week, to celebrate the entire freaking planet dodging the biggest bullet ever headed towards humanity since The Flood. The bullet launched against us over the past two decades was a murderous, genocidal, economic catastrophe based on crap science which anyone, given an ounce of integrity, could refute. They- and by they, I mean the WEFers - launched a world-wide suppression of innovation, of creativity, of production and growth, of health-giving, family forming child-birthing activity. Then they tried to cull us. Like we were cattle.

A Somali lawmaker described to the Daily Caller how his government functions as a “fraud pipeline,” siphoning U.S. tax dollars from foreign aid, health care and day care into one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in the world. Dr. Abdillahi Hashi Abib, a sitting member of the Somali Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee in the House of the People, told the Caller the corruption surfacing in Minnesota and across the United States did not emerge spontaneously, but is a downstream consequence of Somalia’s deeply entrenched system of corruption.

Prior to his death, Adams embraced Christianity.

Australia’s new social media age-limit law, which set the minimum age for opening or maintaining a social media account to 16. The second-biggest news? As Australia’s law went into effect, there was a global chorus of parents, journalists, and political leaders who stood up, applauded the bold move, and asked, “Can we do that, too?” Bloomberg, in an article titled “TikTok, Instagram Ban for Australian Kids Heralds Global Curbs,” provides a list of countries in which legislation has been, or soon will be, introduced:(Snip) The idea is spreading, and each nation considering such a policy should ask two important questions:

"Can a man who’s warm understand one who’s freezing?" — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn If you want to see the true meaning behind Zohran Mamdani’s phrase “the warmth of collectivism,” take a look at that photo above, taken at one of the Soviet gulag work camps. The cold was unbearable, but the zeks — the inmates — bore it, until it killed some of them. Someone said on X yesterday that “the warmth of collectivism” was inscribed on a sign over the entrance to the gulag at Kolyma, in the Russian far north, but I can’t find any evidence that that is true.

In The Mandalorian series, which was pretty good when Gina Carano was in it and the only Star Wars spin off I managed to really get into (it helped that Pedro Pascal was just a suit of armour) The Mandalorian has a repeated catch phrase that sums up the ethos of his people: This is the Way. It means there’s a right way of doing things, an honourable way of doing things, a right and competent way of doing things. The measure of a people is found in the degree to which they apply a code and the strength they show in holding to it.

A history professor who has taught at Harvard for 40 years is publicly calling out the Ivy League school over race-based hiring and admissions policies, a “shocking indifference” to antisemitism, and for its eroding commitment to teaching students about Western history. James Hankins wrote in a Compact Magazine essay titled “Why I’m Leaving Harvard” that his decision was largely influenced by the school’s abandonment of merit in favor of diversity quotas, which he said entirely changed “the way we conducted our affairs,” leaving extraordinary candidates behind if they did not have Harvard’s desired skin color or gender.

Dear friends, family, admirers, and citizens of France and the world, We gather today in sorrow to bid farewell to Brigitte Bardot, affectionately known as B.B., an icon who illuminated the silver screen before she abandoned stardom for a path of unflinching principle. Born in 1934, she burst onto the scene as the epitome of beauty, sensuality, and rebellion in films like And God Created Woman (1956) and Jean-Luc Godard’s Contempt (1963), becoming a global symbol of liberated femininity. Yet she walked away from Hollywood in 1973 to dedicate herself to causes greater than stardom—first to the voiceless animals (Snip)and later to the preservation of her beloved France itself.

Schumer whined:I have said it before and I’ll say it again, the SAVE Act would impose Jim Crow-type laws to the entire country and is dead on arrival in the Senate,” Schumer said in a statement on Monday. “If House Republicans add the SAVE Act to the bipartisan appropriations package it will lead to another prolonged Trump government shutdown.

The Bay Area is experiencing mobs of bicycle riders stopping to attack and seriously injure drivers who provoke their wrath, while riding around in large groups that the cyclists call “ride outs.” ABC7News (KGO Television) reports: A Santa Clara driver suffered fractures to his ribs and back after a mob of bicyclists brutally assaulted him following an accident involving one of them. This is the latest in a string of violent incidents involving large groups of bicyclists, popularly known as “ride outs”, a rapidly growing trend where large, often informal groups of cyclists -- from dozens to thousands -- gather to ride through city streets.

Nick Kruse is former vice president of the Minnesota Young DFL and current at-large director of Stonewall DFL. In a Jan. 26 post on X, Kruse wrote that "no one should be going to prison for defending our city against ICE," and encouraged followers to spread information about "jury nullification."

A pro-ICE billboard appeared in a heavily trafficked part of San Francisco this week ahead of the Super Bowl, prompting an outcry from immigrant rights advocates in the city. The digital billboard, at Mason and Jefferson streets near Fisherman’s Wharf, displayed images of what appeared to be Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and messages that say “Cheering because the home team finally started investing in defense,” “Defensive player of the year: ICE,” and “They can’t win without defense. Neither can America.” American Sovereignty, a conservative group, said that it had placed the sign.

This new age will be one of relentless improvement,” New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani promised last November as voters handed him the keys to the city. But that was before the temperatures truly dropped.In his inaugural address, the incoming mayor said, in one particularly tortured passage, “For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty.” Together, he added, New Yorkers are “warmed against the January chill by the resurgent flame of hope.” Through communalism, “we will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.”

Organizations including the Chinese-American Planning Council and the Chinese Progressive Association — both of which have ties to the Chinese Communist Party’s overseas influence network — are among the signatories urging Congress to defund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Border Patrol. Those groups joined more than 1,000 organizations in a coordinated letter demanding that lawmakers halt all funding for federal immigration enforcement agencies, a move that would effectively eliminate interior enforcement and deportation operations nationwide. The letter, organized by Amnesty International USA, does not call for reforms or oversight but for the removal of enforcement capacity itself.
