In the most recent waves of immigration, Sweden has let in more refugees and people claiming to be refugees, as a share of population, than any other European country. It is coping with the consequences.

One by one, the bullies of Ideology attack the bureaucrats and middle managers, and one by one, their targets are made to feel the coward's degrading shame and acquiescence.

Sooner or later though, the numbers always reassert themselves. If our leadership is permeated by cowards, then a strong reactionary response of deafening reproach will work wonders. There are more of us than there are of them, by orders of magnitude. Thank you, Dylan.

Sweden's only chance of surviving is to reverse, not just stop, their immigration policies. They need to deport all of them. This is a simple and obvious fact. But they won't and Sweden will fail. This is true for the rest of Europe as well and it is true for Canada and the U.S., for Australia and New Zealand. The next generation of people who will become asylum seekers will be White Christians from countries like Sweden and France but there won't be any place to go. Their choice will be to convert to Islam or enslavement. Who could have seen this coming???

re Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?

Why are so few women in management positions?

What that has to do with incompetent male leadership is beyond me. Plus it's from the HARVARD business review.

I am not wasting my time reading further. I can see where the article is headed.

Search for Dr. Jordan Peterson's response. He was amazed so many competent men want the jobs let alone competent women. and don't get started on incompetent ones.

After all, that Ivy-credentialed chick managed did the transgender ad campaign for Bud Lite really increased sales.

Competent women don't want to work for other women; competent or otherwise. That' my experience, anecdote. or data point

The Ukrainian Nuclear war of 2023 and its Aftermath

This is an interesting read.

The author is of the opinion that Putin must win a decisive victory this year. He explains why in the article.

The only way Putin can win this year is by using Tactical Nuclear Weapons (TNW}.

The author believes that he will use perhaps dozens of them to achieve a quick victory on the battlefield and that the West will force Ukraine to sign a peace deal advantageous to Russia.

Then the nuclear genie will be out of the bottle and he speculates how that impacts non-proliferation policies.

Biden just said the quiet part outloud on TV He admitted that the U.S. was low on munitions. To fully understand this you need to know that the only people who didn't know this were American citizens. The story claims that Biden gave up state secrets to our enemies and that is a blatant lie, they ALL know this. It is Americans who were kept in the dark and it was Americans who they intended to keep in the dark.

Wouldn't you think that The U.S. would once it made the decision to transfer massive amounts of weaponry to Ukraine choose to resupply our own weaponry assets? Seriously! Why wouldn't we? But we didn't and still haven't? Why? It was intentional. For whatever reason the Biden administration chose to use up our own munitions leaving us without enough to defend ourselves. The only reason that makes any sense has to do with the millions that Biden received from China. Biden is a puppet of China

I’m trying to wrap my tiny brain around certain facts concerning children. The list of things that a child cannot do without parental permission is very long. We know that a minor under 18 cannot sign his name to a contract, a contract that would require any number of things that minor must do, failure to uphold his part of the contract, the minor would suffer under pains of civil law. A minor cannot buy or even consume alcohol or drugs. And if the minors parents were to give the minor drugs or booze, that parent would be in trouble with the law. The parent has put their child in danger. These laws and rules are obviously necessary because more than a few parents are oblivious to their own welfare and that of their children. But they are a small minority. A child is not mentally fit to make these sorts of decisions. Some decisions, like consuming alcohol or drugs, would have far ranging bad effects on the child. As a society we know these things to be true. These are facts that are not even disputed.

The evidence is overwhelming, for those that care to look, that gender transitioning surgery has lifelong complications and negative consequences. Yet, the State is going to force parents to endanger, and no doubt destroy a child’s life because the child came home from school one day and claims he is a she. This is madness. I can’t believe that we have reached a point that the majority of people in this world buy into this madness. Why are we putting up with it?

Pray for the children as well as for those that prey upon them. And please speak out against this madness.

Actually, BH, it's been many years since things sexual were carved out of the "things young'uns were too immature to consent to" category. Remember a local public health doctor very much back in the day - arguing that young girls should be given access to the pill without their parents' knowledge or consent so they wouldn't get pregnant. The possible consequences of early sex on the girls' physical and mental health was apparently of no consequence.
Fast forward to now, when it's easier for a young teen (female) to get a mastectomy than a tattoo. That's insane.

“Since mankind's dawn, a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility over our lives that we should have accepted for ourselves. By doing so, they took our power. By doing nothing, we gave it away. We've seen where their way leads, through camps and wars, towards the slaughterhouse.”

French Riots Show.....
------------------
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.
France leads even Germany in funneling money to the Palestinians while it waggles a moralizing finger at Israel.

Y'all should have figured out by now that the G-d that picked the Jews has a wicked sense of humor....

..... or stated more seriously: this world was created as an arena for human free will - and to facilitate that, G-d keeps throwing people back upon their own assumptions.

I have just been reminded --again--why some women should never be managers. Why, they will never have what it takes to be "leaders".
US Bank introduced a completely new website several weeks before Thanksgiving about 2.5 years ago. It was a universal disaster!! Nothing worked, the lines at the bank were huge. However, not to worry. The fairly new female (very sure of herself) manager continued with her plan to not only take the Thanksgiving day weekend holiday. Oh NO! This woman/manager had a right and an expectation that leaving behind a staff up to their a&&es in work and trouble was her managerial perk and that was what mattered--not the chaos. Not the customers raging in fear and confusion. OH NO--not our little manageress. Nope it was her right take off the Friday before Thanksgiving and stay out until the Monday after. Leaving her young staff alone on the war front for a full ten days. Well--you see--it was ok, because she was the manager!
Following that brilliant, deserved, managerial decision that branch lost all of it's staff except one loyal/needy female teller. They have not yet recovered and probably never will as it is now having it's staffing levels reduced!! Guess who has to fill in at the window on a regular basis. There is great merit in meritocracy and great value in making people "work their way up"--experience all positions for at leas a year to understand who/what they are managing.

Anglican leader ... there is not a single western institution that is not compromised by power hungry but morally weak men and women. The gutter is deep and bottomless.

Biden Ukraine policy ... it is a Biden administration in name only. There seems to be an unlimited depth of incompetence among those that do run the Ukraine policy combined with no upside potential.
Time is on the Russians side along with the fact this is a ground war and not an air or sea war. Will NATO reach a sane conclusion this month that this war has loser written all over it and leave what is left of Ukraine as a neutral state or will they continue the insanity. Ukraine is shrinking by the day. NATO will fall apart and it is likely that the EU will fall apart.

FBI Asks Judge to Delay Seth Rich Laptop Release for 66 Years

QUOTE:

The FBI previously claimed that it was not in possession of Seth Rich’s laptop, or any information from it. Then, in 2020, the bureau admitted that it had several thousand files from the computer.

. . . . The FBI is desperately trying to hide records about Seth Rich, and that begs the question of why.”

The laptop will show there was no Russia Hillary hack. Rich downloaded the information on a thumb drive and sent to WikiLeaks.
The FBI leadership is beyond corrupt, it is evil.

On the Presidential vacation time.
I hate looking at that in a negative way. The opposing party seems to bring it up all the time. The President of the United States is NEVER on vacation. He may not be in the oval office but standing just out of frame is a military officer with a communications device to send our forces into action up to and including nuclear missiles. He gets a security briefing every morning 7 days a week.

Presidents from either party. They are on the clock 24/7 365.25 for 4 years at a time.

I wish it wasn't Joe but it is and that is part of the problem.
