The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (No. 69)

THE GOOD

FINALLY, A POLICY OF THE TRUDEAU REGIME THAT I CAN GET BEHIND: Canada pledges millions to 'gender-inclusive' effort to remove landmines from Ukraine

CAN WE GET SOME OF THAT SHOCK THERAPY IN THE UNITED STATES, PLEASE: Argentina’s Milei Goes All In On ‘Shock’ Policies In Bid To Save Country’s Economy

IS THERE ANYTHING HE CAN’T DO? Argentina’s Javier Milei Plans to Fire 70,000 Government Workers.

FREEDOM IS FUNGIBLE, BY WHICH I MEAN THAT IT’S NOT INTRINSIC TO ONE PLACE. It’s as though freedom were moving from one place in the western hemisphere to another . . . if you know what I mean. Is freedom brewing in Latin America? Many signs point to 'yes'

SOMETIMES A NICE SMILE CAN MAKE A GLOOMY DAY SHINE: According to Scientists, Smiling Is the Secret to Seeing Happiness.

ANTHROPOLOGY/ARCHEOLOGY ROUNDUP

YOU GO GIRL! Caitlyn Jenner Backs Ban On Trans Women Competing On Women’s Sports Teams

THE ARTICLE FORGOT TO MENTION SENECA, SOUTH CAROLINA (THE VIEW FROM MY WINDOW), ALTHOUGH I AM TEMPTED BY THE HONOLULU PHOTOGRAPH IN THE ARTICLE: Here are the 10 happiest US cities to call home — with some 'astonishing' locations

SCIENCE ROUNDUP:

IT’S GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO TELL IF THE BABYLON BEE IS SATIRE OR REALITY: Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg Holds Emergency Press Conference To Announce He Is Taking 3 More Months Maternity Leave.

THIS IS WHAT “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” LOOKS LIKE IN REAL LIFE: Coming Soon to a McDonald’s Near You: Krispy Kreme Donuts.

THIS IS WHAT VOTING WITH YOUR FEET LOOKS LIKE: Bud Light may lose 18% of grocery store shelf space after Dylan Mulvaney boycott.

I WOULD HATE TO SEE IT COME THIS, BUT THEN AGAIN I MIGHT ALSO MOVE TO TEXAS IF IT SECEDED: The Case for Secession. “Might a state like Texas legitimately decide that the federal government has so abandoned its duties under the Constitution that it has no alternative but to remove itself from the Union, and vindicate its citizens’ rights itself? I think such a decision, given the enormity of the issue of illegal immigration, would indeed be legitimate. Whether it would be well-advised is a question that should, in my view, be open for debate.”

THE BAD

HOW DO YOU NOT SEE THIS FOR WHAT IT IS . . . NAMELY, CULTURAL SUICIDE?

TRUE! Only liberal socialism could take what should otherwise be the best thing in life and make it anti-life: New York Magazine’s “Freedom of Sex” is the ultimate example of the lunatic nihilism that’s consumed America’s intellectual class.

TURNING UTOPIA INTO DYSTOPIA: CALIFORNIA COLLAPSE

THIS IS WHAT’S CALLED BUILDING THE VOTER BASE: Gov’t Jobs Continue To Swell Under Biden As Unemployment Ticks Up

EVEN THOUGH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS USELESS AND PATHETIC, IT’S TIME TO PUT THE BLAME ON THOSE WHO DESERVE IT MOST: REPUBLICAN VOTERS. If you vote for RINO’s, you get what you deserve:

DEI + BOEING = COVERUP? Boeing “Overwrote” Camera Footage Of Work On MAX Jet Door That Blew Out, Can Not Identify Employee Who Worked On It.

IT’S THE CULTURE, STUPID: Percentage Of LGBTQ Americans Has More Than Doubled In Just A Decade, Poll Finds

IS THERE ANYTHING BIDENOMICS CAN’T DO? Major Jeweler Sees Youngsters Postponing Engagements In Era Of Failed Bidenomics

WHAT BIDENOMICS IS DOING FOR YOU:

OF COURSE IT EMERGED FROM A LAB, AND THE LAB WASN’T IN BOTSWANA: Breaking: Emerging Evidence Suggests COVID-19 Originated in a Lab.

AROUND THE WORLD:

THIS IS WHAT ALTRUISM IN FOREIGN POLICY LOOKS LIKE. The United States has become the world’s piggy-bank: Roughly $680 Million In Aid From Biden Didn’t Stop Haiti From Spiraling Into Chaos

THAT’S BECAUSE THEIR STARTING POSITION IN LIFE BEGINS WITH HATE: Study finds 'woke' people more likely to be unhappy, anxious, and depressed

PRETTY SURE IT’S MISTITLED AND SHOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATELY TITLED “UNSCIENTIFIC AMERICAN”: Scientific American Covers Itself with Shame Again, This Time by Using Term ‘Birthing Parent’.

AND TO THINK THE AMERICAN WELFARE STATE EXTENDS TO GAZA. Immoral on just about every level: Poll: 71% of Palestinians Support October 7 Massacre, Majority Wants Hamas Returned to Power in Gaza.

CHINA WATCH:

ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION: AT THE DEEPEST LEVEL, WHAT IS THE GOAL OF THIS PROPOSAL? If you can unravel the mystery behind this question, you will figure out why socialism necessarily leads to communism and why communism is immoral and anti-life: Bernie Sanders to Propose a Mandated 32-Hour Workweek.

IF THIS IS TRUE, THEN IT’S MOST CERTAINLY THE CASE THAT PLEASURE IS RACIST AS WELL: Advil: Pain Is Racist

THIS IS WHAT ACADEMIC GRIFT LOOKS LIKE: Marriage Promotes ‘White Supremacy’: White George Mason University Professor

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS, IN IRELAND, THE UK, CANADA, THE USA, AND MUCH OF THE WESTERN WORLD: Antifa Battered In Coolock, Their Phones Seized By Nationalists Apparently Revealing Seedy Links Between Media, NGOs, and Far Left.

THE UGLY

DEI REALLY DOES MEAN DIE: Maryland city equity official says she wants US to burn to the ground: 'MY ideology can rise from the ashes'

TIME TO INVADE CANADA? Canadians could face life in prison for speech crimes under new law backed by Trudeau administration

THIS IS WORSE THAN BAD:

DOES THIS MEAN THEY GET WHAT THEY DESERVE? Poll: 71% of Palestinians Support October 7 Massacre, Majority Wants Hamas Returned to Power in Gaza.

YOU DO KNOW THIS IS INSANE, RIGHT? These 14 American Cities Have A ‘Target’ Of Banning Meat, Dairy, And Private Vehicles By 2030

THERE’S NO COMING BACK FROM THIS, AT LEAST NOT FOR A VERY, VERY LONG TIME: State Department mandates DEI ideology loyalty test for all employees seeking promotion

CRIMES WERE PERMITTED AND SANCTIONED BY PEOPLE OF POSITIONS IN POWER. : Why was gender ideology allowed to run amok for so long?

. . . AND THE BEAUTIFUL

A DAY LATE, BUT I HOPE YOU ALL HAD WONDERFUL MEMORIAL DAY. My eternal thanks to those men & women who serve their country today, who have served in the past, and especially to those we have lost in battle. You will NOT be forgotten. We owe you everything.

In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae, May 1915

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Have a great week!!!

The Redneck Intellectual
