I have long predicted that normalizing transgender surgeries would be followed eventually by doctors intentionally disabling patients with Body Identity Integrity Disorder (BIID). These patients obsess that their “true selves” are quadriplegic, or amputees, or blind, and they yearn to be made that way. It is a real and anguishing condition. Some are now even calling the affliction “transable” (get it?).
Well, here it comes. A doctor in Quebec “treated” a BIID patient by amputating two of his healthy fingers. Otherwise, the patient was threatening to mutilate himself. From the National Post story:
The fact that there were only two fingers involved in the Quebec case, as opposed to

The news on Monday morning was dominated by stories of an economic recovery by Red China of a recession that the U.S. press had largely ignored. (Snip)
John Austin of the Brookings Institute wrote in Time magazine, “Conventional wisdom that [Red[ China’s economy would eclipse the U.S. in a decade—maybe even sooner—is looking uncertain. The view that [Red] China was the emerging geopolitical power, with developing nations tucked under its wings, is looking similarly shaky. It is now unclear whether [Red] China’s GDP will ever surpass the U.S. and nations around the world are rethinking their ties to Beijing and the debt trap that is the Belt and Road Initiative.

If there is any topic that requires seriousness, it is the topic of genocide.
If there is any sin so profound, any crime so vast, any wrong so awful that it must be treated with the same respect you would treat the body of a murdered child, it is this one.
Because, after all, it is the crime that encompasses many such bodies.
You would think these truths would give pause. You would think people would be both very quick to condemn a real genocide, and very keen to avoid applying the label where it isn’t deserved.

Today, a side of Adams that was not made much of in his lifetime has for many of us become the most important, and much-needed, part of his legacy: his critical view of Islam and of Muhammad. He derived these views from experience—his own and his father’s—of Muslim behavior (both of the Barbary Pirates and of the Ottoman Turks), from his lifelong study of history, and from his intensive reading of the Qur’an. (Snip) THE AMBASSADOR ANSWERED US THAT IT WAS FOUNDED ON THE LAWS OF THEIR PROPHET, THAT IT WAS WRITTEN IN THEIR KORAN, THAT ALL NATIONS WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THEIR AUTHORITY WERE SINNERS,

I have a story on the website about a recent visit to Mar-a-Lago for a conversation with former President Donald Trump. At any given moment, there are lots of subjects in the news one could ask Trump about, but I decided to focus on a longer-term story — how he managed to come back from the disastrous end of his presidency in early 2021 to become the 2024 Republican Party presidential nominee. It’s really a story about the intensity gap between Trump’s supporters and everybody else.
Here’s the short version of what he told me during our conversation in Florida: He never felt politically dead. He knew he could run again.

Federal judges have ruled against the Biden administration in several recent high-profile cases, and those on the Left are not happy about it.
Instead of defending their policies on the merits in front of these judges, those on the Left have instead pressured the principal policy-making body for the federal judiciary to change how cases are assigned to those judges. Sadly, that body bowed to the pressure and created new guidance for assigning certain cases—all to soften the criticism coming from the Left.
(Snip) But surely Congress never intended for the conference to engage in politics by trying to circumvent statutes that Congress itself drafted

It happened in Israel, and it happened in Moscow, and it’s going to happen here in America – again, and exponentially worse. The jihadis’ merciless war against the West – the Muslim fanatics are not so finicky as we are about our distinctions between the Jewish state, Russia, and us, the Great Satan – did not end when the regime media started covering other things.We may have fled Afghanistan and Libya and largely pulled out of Iraq, but that war is still going on. It’s going to go on until we decisively win it. But unfortunately, our ruling class refuses to decisively win it. In fact, our ruling class actively

Is Arizona going to the Supreme Court? The Court is rumoured to want an election fraud case. It can’t ignore this very much longer. (Snip) These people, the forces on the now-bonkers left, devised their successful program in 2002 with four billionaires, and for twenty years they have been accruing power, building their system straight out to fraud and selling out to the cartels and WEFers. At some point along the way, the power they built went haywire and began to eat the culture. What that has triggered is a tsunami of citizen activism. Not the astroturf of the corporate left or international socialist left, but the real thing.

The companies are trying to tell the kids that they get them. They see that LGBTQ is trendy… so they wrap themselves in rainbows and market tucking panties to children.
(Snip) However, one American brand recently reached the youth market … quite accidentally.
They did it by producing an attractive, quality product … at an affordable price. With zero social media presence, and no virtue-signaling.
General Motors recently announced their sales figures for 2023. Buried in the mountain of data was a fascinating statistic. Of all the GM nameplates, the nameplate with the highest sales rate amongst 16-34 year olds is the new gas-powered, Buick Envista.

The first thing I notice when I watch a black-and-white TV show on one of the rerun networks is the ties. In the 1950s, every man wore a tie. The milkman wore a tie. The mailman wore a tie. The policeman wore a tie. Even Elvis wore a tie on occasion. Chuck Berry always wore a tie. Gas station attendants wore them. (Snip) Men wore ties to ballgames because men were civilized.
Ties were important because they gave a sense of authority but ties also showed that a man wants to belong in society. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others.”

I spent my childhood studying extreme emotional states. My mother, an amateur athlete who won tennis and golf championships into her 60’s, a gifted pianist, beautiful, solidly educated, well read, funny, had reality breaks.
I, her eldest child and only daughter, learned how to subvert them. (Snip) But I refuse to engage with the hopelessness they, and many, (most?) people feel. I’ve seen how it ends.
Even lefties think the midterms were stolen. Even in my town at the end of the hippie trail, people are saying, “What happened? Do you know? Do you understand? I thought….???” Even they could see the absolute f*up the Dems have created.

The Left is so predictable that I can tell you with complete accuracy how they will respond to a Black conservative’s candidate. On cue, without missing a beat, the day after Mark Robinson won the Republican primary for governor in North Carolina, the vicious press, putting in overtime, went to work.

Nine of 10 articles that you would encounter on Mark Robinson were complete hit jobs, taking his words and phrases out of context. The same was true on the internet. Google, among the most evil companies that has ever appeared on Earth, with their oh-so-mysterious algorithms, made sure that nothing good was said in links
Comments:
One of J.K. Rowling's adult novels (written under the nom de plume Robert Galbraith) depicts a group of would-be amputees who admire the hero, who lost his leg as a soldier in Afghanistan. They insist that he was one of them -- i.e. that he amputated his own leg. She has a good eye for sickos.
