Wow.
A veteran EA commenter today who excels in the contrived “gotcha!” accused me of “name-calling” because I consistently describe today’s Democratic Party as aspiring totalitarians, Machiavellian, and cheaters, and say Democrats want to gut the Constitution. It reminded me of the objection in the Continental Congress (as portrayed in “1776”) over Thomas Jefferson’s use of the word “tyrant” to describe England’s King George. Jefferson’s justification of his choice of words: “He is a tyrant.” I bet my critic really be incensed as I write—now—that today’s vote in Congress indicates that the party is also silly, doctrinaire and…wait for it….moronic.
Because it does, and it is.
Democrats, along with a few Republicans who should go the way of Thomas Massey, voted to cancel the Smithsonian’s planned Women’s History Museum because Republicans added language to its astablishment bill defining women in a manner that leaves out Renee Richards, Caitin Jenner, and the fully, ah, “intact” male “transitioners” who have been slaughtering female competitors in amateur swimming, wrestling, volleyball, and track and field. You know, like this person known as “Lia Thomas.”
The measure to establish the museum was defeated 216 to 204. Not a single Democrat voted for it, so chained is the party to radical LGBTQ propaganda.
Amazing. Amazing. The fact that most women still support a party that is so hypocritical regarding women’s welfare and rights—this is the party, remember, who made serial sexual predator Bill Clinton the keynote speaker at its national convention proclaiming the “Year of the Woman”!— is as incomprehensible as the fact that so many American Jews still vote for the party that increasing supports Hamas.
In fact, irony and hypocrisy are everywhere in this vote. The Axis of Unethical Conduct (“the resistance,” Democrats and the news media) like to say that Congressional Republicans refuse to swerve from the MAGA script, but the GOP virtually never gets 100% agreement. Every House Democrat, however, wants to see a Women’s History Museum that has a special exhibit honoring this recent Democratic administration official:
How “inclusive.”
Because the proposed museum wouldn’t be pandering to anomalies like Admiral Rachel Levine and the former cute-as-a-bunny actress playing Achilles in the new Odyssey film…
…Democrats decided en masse that American women who were crucial to the founding and development of this nation despite being marginalized, abused and discriminated against shouldn’t have their fascinating and inspiring stories told at all. Their museum wouldn’t sufficiently validate the social pathogen causing parents to allow their children to be mutilated and sports to undermine the cause of female athletes after they fought so hard to compete, you see.
An earlier version of the bill was co-sponsored by 127 Democrats. Republicans on the House Administration Committee added new language to the bill last month to dedicate the museum to “preserving, researching, and presenting the history, achievements, and lived experiences of biological women.”
As opposed to, you know, men who decided they were women, wanted to be regarded as women, or pretended to be women.
Republican New York Rep. Nicole Malliotakis resigned as vice chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus today in response to the Democrats’ ridiculous tantrum, being appropriately disgusted by the vote even though 20 Democrats on the caucus co-sponsored the bill. In a letter to the committee’s co-chairs, Malliotakis pointed to Democrats on the committee refusing to cross party lines on pieces of legislation.
“If not one Problem Solvers Democrat would vote for a straightforward measure to transfer federal land for a women’s history museum simply because it was amended through regular order, during the committee process, to ensure that only biological women are exhibited, then what can we actually rely on the Caucus’ Democrats to join us on? I therefore submit my resignation as vice chair and member of the Problem Solvers Caucus, effective immediately,” Malliotakis wrote.
Good for her.
[Incidentally, I am not unalterably opposed to a National LGBTQ Museum that includesaccomplished and significant trans individuals, if they ever stop killing people…]
Ethics Alarms 
This headline would have been inconceivable in the ’00’s.
What happened in the past twenty years?
In short, the various radical ideologies which have infiltrated and metastasized within the institutions of higher education spread out, and into the culture en masse through waves of successive, and increasingly radicalized graduates (women). Thanks to the internet, and more recently social media, one does not need to be a university student to fall victim to its propaganda and indoctrination.
*Should have clarified that, the internet and social media have accelerated the spread of these ideologies.
what explains any reaction to these ideologies other than laughter?
What value do the people that support the outcome of the headline add to the economy?
I ask because, as I understand, there are only 2 way to grow wealth: 1) dig something out of the ground, 2) manufacture something else from what was dug out of the ground. Both of these involve objective deliverables. America has some energy and food stuffs we export. I don’t have much knowledge concerning what else we export, so accordingly, I also don’t know what motivates the world to value our currency. Perhaps, we have a military that provides some relative stability and a political and currency system that got lucky after WW11.
Can it be said that even the power structures of Russia are maintained via the no-nonsense objective deliverable of energy? What of America? Of these people, of half of California. Half of America?
I hold, even proclaim, that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin. But I can’t prove this, nor that a God exists. (All that can’t prove a negative stuff). But I also can prove that someone is not a woman. And I can’t prove that I am not an asparagus. Because? Has meaning become detached from reality?
I do have a suggestion on how to fix America.
Re-institute recess, and lots of it in public schools. With playgrounds that are dangerous on which you can get yourself hurt good and hard. When more people grow up in early age with more breaks and sprains they will internalize preparation for accepting objective truth.
Oddly, there is a love of one’s neighbor when we care about their rights being violated and we stand up in their defense. Oddly, there is a love of one’s neighbor when we stop caring if their rights are violated. Perhaps a parallel to be drawn to my selfishness driving a market improves the market more effectively via demand than by vertical authoritarian control dictating what is true, valued and protected.
If there are only those two ways to grow wealth — well, please explain Google.
Took me a while to figure out the Achilles GIF (is that what it is?). Tremendous.
Someone did a remake of the Achilles Vs Boagrius Fight Scene. Needless to say, it didn’t turn out the same way with Elliot Page as it did with Brad Pitt.
Although, I’m not sure it is confirmed that Elliot Page will play Achilles; some sources say Page will play the role of Elpenor.

So her playing the part is untrue and a joke?
