Good morning, kids. Monday and the summer solstice brings with it yet another week of bread and circuses. Except bread, and everything else, is becoming unaffordable if not unavailable but circuses we've got in spades. On a positive note, a bit of sanity as "swimming’s world governing body, FINA, announced a ban Sunday on biological men competing in women’s events, unless they had 'transitioned' before the age of 12." A bit of a groin-kick to frauds and sickos like John Thomas-tucking "Lia" Thomas as well as the Kalorama junta pushing this nightmare on us and our children. The estimable Miranda Devine notes:

Joe Biden probably thought his executive order last week, “Advancing Equality for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Individuals,” was a winner twice over. . . The [so-called quote-unquote "president's"] radical order overrides state laws which protect parents’ rights and girls’ sports and it promotes transgender drugs and surgery for children. 

But it will backfire on him spectacularly at the ballot box, as parents wake up to the damage of this near-decade of cruel experimentation on children. 

The tide is turning as more “detransitioners,” now young adults, tell their tales of woe.

There are a couple of links about that aforementioned tragedy in the Feminazism/Homosexualization section, and one hyperlinked in this article, but if that doesn't depress you, a brief scan of the links should send you rushing to the liquor cabinet and/or medicine chest.

Emasculation and disfigurement perfectly captures what is happening to this country. Looking back, Trump's unexpected victory in 2016 — unexpected by the junta — only paused what was supposed to be the the coup de grace to America as founded of a Hillary regime. We're getting it now with Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, good and hard. He may shamble and stumble up the stairs to Air Force One or fall off a bicycle like he did on Saturday, but none of this disaster is by accident. America is being forcibly "transitioned." Friend and friend of the blog Michael Walsh:

At the opening of the 1950 classic film noir, D.O.A., Edmund O'Brien strides purposefully into a big-city police station, proceeds down long, endless corridors, and finally arrives at a door marked Homicide Division. "I want to report a murder," he says to the head detective. "Who was murdered?" asks the cop. "I was," replies O'Brien.

In this, year two of the dreadful [junta] of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., we Americans know just how he feels. From the moment this blustering blowhard of a United States senator of no accomplishment from a meaningless state took office in January 2021, he has been busily poisoning the country for the simple reason that he can, he wants to, and there is no one to stop him. . .

. . .Since Robinette took office, gas prices have more than doubled, part of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been emptied, our hard-won energy independence achieved during the Trump era has been frittered away, and we've been reduced to begging erstwhile enemies like the "kingdom" of Saudi Arabia to do the jobs Americans just can't be allowed to do. If this looks like a conspiracy to you, don't worry: it is. And one that the conspirators have been quite open about for decades. They're a suicide cult, hell-bent on killing us as well as themselves . . .

. . . So those high prices for gasoline and the long, chaotic lines and canceled flights at the airports are not a bug, they're the lynchpin of the whole scheme, which is itself part and parcel of the entire Great Reset project (about which much more tomorrow; watch this space). In order for the Lords of Davos to control you they must first curtail and control your freedom of movement, and what better way to do that than to make the price of oil prohibitively expensive? First your cars stop moving, then the trucks that deliver almost everything of value, including food, to the stores. An inability to move freely and without government oversight will vanish as computers take over your automobiles and which, when they are fully electric, can be disabled at will. As they like to say: You'll own nothing, and you'll be happy. 

What better metaphor, then, for the parlous state of our national affairs than the sight of Biden on his keister after toppling off his bike over the weekend. This frail, thoroughly nasty man with some very peculiar tendencies and an immediate family that might best be described as Caligulan in its behavior, not only embarrassed himself but the country he pretends to lead. "I'm good," he said after his tumble, which may be his biggest and most brazen lie of them all.

Yeah, you'll own nothing and be happy. And if you open your mouth, you'll have your legs broken:

One of the hallmarks of authoritarianism is the crushing of free expression. Speaking against the state is not allowed. What, then, to make of the Biden’s [junta's] efforts to silence Americans. . .

. . . Though he served under the pen-and-phone president, Joe Biden has not issued an executive order that would prohibit challenges to the green narrative. This is not necessarily to his credit, because, for now, the administration and the Democrat-controlled Congress want to enlist the private sector to censor speech it doesn’t like.

This became clearer than ever in an interview last week in which White House National Climate Adviser Gina McCarthy, the Obama EPA director whose current “job” should not even exist, said “tech companies have to stop allowing specific individuals over and over again to spread disinformation.”

“We need the tech companies to really jump in,” she added.

McCarthy’s friendly media inquisitor set up this useless bureaucrat to further endorse speech-policing when she asked: “Isn’t misinformation and disinfo around climate a threat to public health itself?”

To which McCarthy replied: “Oh, absolutely”. . .

. . . The First Amendment doesn’t specify what speech can and cannot be uttered, and says no law can be made to abridge it. The Democrats want to circumvent this protection by using the executive branch and private companies to purge opinions, comments, and information that threaten their power. We make no apologies in saying that this is tyranny.

At this point, they could care fuck-all for the First Amendment, certainly not the Second and every other amendment and the parchment it was written on. Unless of course they can use it both as a shield and cudgel to wrest absolute power forever. Then, it's no more than toilet paper for the Oval Office shitter. They've stolen elections, created Reichstag Fire entrapment scams and locked up political prisoners without due process rights, are hosting kangaroo courts, utilized phony pandemic health scares to seize extra-constitutional powers, looking to institute a Ministry of Truth, unleashing criminals as well as state-sanctioned terror squads to silence enemies "by any means necessary," erasing our borders, trying to disarm the populace and now intentionally knee-capping our economy as a means to seize control of it. Ultimately, they aim to seize absolute control over us.

On the bright side, more and more people heretofore more concerned with the Kardashians or who's on Page Six of the NY Post are getting a dose of reality right in the wallet. Not going to sugarcoat it. We are heading for a disaster that I don't think even elections are going to prevent or even mitigate. This is a fin de siècle and quite possibly an interregnum. Things are going to get very ugly and sooner than we imagine the way things are going. It is a tragedy of the human condition, and for sure our historic nature as Americans that we have to bring ourselves to the point of an existential crisis in order to solve our problems. Each time, we have overcome them but at a terrible cost and not necessarily learning from the mistakes that created those crises, and setting ourselves up for an inevitable and even greater one to face.

This time, with everything we have to deal with, the situation is very much in doubt. Keep the faith, and your powder dry.
