FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN – The Burning Platform - (Confirmed - DaGOP voter truly represents DaSHTUPID Party! - CL)

(But there is hope: Uncensored.AI on X: "75% of 45 and under voted for Massie, there just weren’t enough of them. Many were probably working 1 of their 3 jobs." / X - https://x.com/GoUncensored/status/2056925261635993901 - CL)

The Boomers of Kentucky embarrassed the United States on the world stage today.

Around the world, people genuinely wondered: can an American politician survive who doesn’t repeat low-IQ platitudes about Israel and the Middle East?

The Boomers — with their heterodox Christianity and FOX News propaganda — gave their answer.

Republican politics is dominated by people who for some reason still think Sean Hannity is a smart guy, and Mark Levin is a constitutional scholar.......

....But since we’re not completely dense, we know the real reason Massie could not be tolerated.

As Glenn Greenwald put it, “If the AIPAC/Adelson crowd wants someone out of Congress for disloyalty to Israel, they will be out of Congress.

“There are a few exceptions due to unusual districts, but not many. The Israel Lobby has unlimited funding and will spend limitlessly to expunge the blasphemous.”

I repeat that no American patriot can tolerate, much less celebrate, this grotesque and demeaning situation.

Main Character Syndrome - by Vox Day - The Boomers haven't finished changing the world yet

 This is a sobering reminder that the Boomers haven’t finished increasing the difficulty setting for the succeeding generations.

The reality of the boomer phenomena is that they are the main characters of history and we just have to wait our turn. Every decision made for the past 60 years was at the behest of maximizing the boomer experience. In their time America had such unprecedented wealth that there were literally no wrong decisions, they could only fail upwards......

....When their kids stopped having children what did they do? They imported endless hordes of mindless drones to work below market wages to keep the economy going.

When a housing crisis caused by overlending to retards and immigrants (done to maximize boomer stock value) threatened the security of the banks managing their portfolios what did they do? They bailed the banks out.....

The tragedy of the boomer is that they have literally no vision beyond themselves.

No other generation was able to rig the world in a way they did.

No other generation holds the wealth of nations in the palms of their hands, and what will they do with it? They will spend every cent on health and hospice care so they can drag themselves by cane and IV bag onto their 30th cruise before dying as they recite the mantra of their time “I was at woodstock...”

“Data from the Federal Reserve highlights that when the average Boomer household turned 35 years old, the generation already controlled 21% of all U.S. wealth. For context, Millennials owned just 3% of the nation’s wealth at that exact same age milestone.”.....

...That’s the situation with which we’re faced. There is nothing we can do about what happened in the past. But what we can do, and what we should do, is reject every value, every assumption, and every belief that the Boomers bought into, and with which they devastated both American society and Western civilization.

We can’t fix or bring back the world that they changed, but we can rebuild what’s left into something that approximates it. This will involve rejecting GenX apathy and nihilism, Millennial neo-boomerisms, GenZ sensitivity, and returning to a Depression-era mindset.

And it can definitely be done.

Ezra and the Judaizer Error - by Rev. Matthew Littlefield

 https://revmatthewlittlefield.substack.com/p/ezra-and-the-judaizer-error?publication_id=1182452&utm_campaign=email-post-title&r=y7h5a&utm_medium=email 

This is what the Judaizer error does. It makes an incorrect application of who God’s people are, based more on ethnicity than on faith, and it bears destructive fruit.

It is also clear that Jesus critiqued the Jewish religious leaders attitudes towards the Samaritans as well. In fact he has the definitive critique. He uses the example of a hypothetical “Good Samaritan” to challenge the Jews of his day about the proper way of loving our neighbour (Luke 10:25-37). And he deliberately places himself in a situation to both minister to and through a Samaritan woman in John 4. What I mean by ministering through her is that she goes and tells many Samaritans about this amazing man she encountered and then brings them back to him to receive salvation. And of course he tells the Apostles in the Lukan Great Commision in Acts that the gospel is to be proclaimed in Samaria as a priority, after extending their ministry outside of Judah, “8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Jesus was not anti-Samaritan, like his own people often were.

I think it is entirely valid to see this New Testament commentary on the place of the Samaritans as a critique not just on how Jews viewed Samaritans in Jesus’ day, but also as a critique on how this conflict between these two people claiming descent from Abraham and faith in the same God began. Jesus was critiquing the Judaizing error before Paul even understood the gospel. But the Old Testament was critiquing it even earlier, because it is the living word of God which Jesus fulfills and shows us how to understand and apply properly.

An incorrect ethnocentric application of the gospel or faith in God is destructive. It led to a centuries long conflict between the Jewish people and the Samaritans, and it is today leading to a now century or so long conflict between the Jewish people and Palestinians. In fact, some of the similarities are actually remarkable between these two situations.

As Christians we need to resist any genetically based claims to the promises of God. This Judaizer error is persistent and comes about in many forms. But consistently the Bible rejects it and shows the damage that it causes. That Jesus made a point of affirming the Samaritans, a people the Jewish nation almost universally looked down upon, should give us a powerful insight into how God sees this error and why we should reject it.

When the Experimenter Fails the Marshmallow Test

 The shouting match broke down along the expected lines. Boomers – including spiritual boomers – loudly agreed with O’Leary’s remarks. If you only spend $2 a day on lunch, they insisted, the resulting $26 a day that you save adds up to $9490 a year; after 5 years, you’ve got the down payment for a $250,000 house. Checkmate, you financially illiterate layabouts!

Zoomers, millennials, and Gen-X replied that $250,000 will get you a leaky shack in rural Arkansas with black mold in the unfinished basement; that by the time you save up the money for the down-payment, that shack will be going for $500,000; that recent immigrants receive government assistance to get onto the property ladder (along with preferential employment) and so do not have to spend years of their lives saving up at all. Disaffected youth (and these days, that is just ‘the youth’) generally heaped scorn on the idea that it’s even possible to save in this economy, or that there’s anything worth saving. “If you live on instant noodles and margarine sandwiches for twenty years, you too, my son, can one day afford a van down by the river.”

Running Out of Steam - Vox Popoli - (Will this become a model for resistance when DaUS reinstitutes the draft? - CL)

 https://voxday.net/2026/05/21/running-out-of-steam/ 

Is Ukraine reaching its recruitment limit? This is the key factor in both our models. There are some indications that this is the case. A week ago, Branko Marcetic (using Ukrainian sources) provided some relevant numbers in a Responsible Statecraft article, Ukraine’s conscription crisis is getting increasingly bloody; While outside voices insist the war can still be won on the battlefield, young men in the country are violently resisting recruiters to stay out of it. Here are some numbers supporting this conclusion.

The number of complaints over possible violations committed by enlistment officers, received by Ukraine’s Human Rights Ombudsman, Dmytro Lubinets:

2022 — 18
2023 — 514
2024 — 3312
2025 — 6127

The number of violent attacks against enlistment officers shows the same trend: from 5 in 2022 to 117 in just the first four months of this year.

One can hardly blame the young Ukrainians for attacking the “enlistment officers” who are really straight-up kidnappers. At the end of the day, the odds of surviving a violent encounter with these rear-echelon thugs is a lot higher than surviving one with frontline Russian troops.

Young European men have probably already figured that out, which is why I expect any attempt by any European country to enact a draft besides Russophobic Poland and Finland to meet with literally violent resistance. Why would any European man fight to defend against civilized Russia instead of rapey third-world invaders?

Peak SUV? - (DaRealQuestion - WTF are Americans gonna do about it besides bleating BAAAAAH? - CL)

  It is only about four months into this stupid, evil war that Trump decided to launch and it is only about two months since gas prices got not just uncomfortably high but unsustainably high. It is annoying to have to pay 50 cents more for a gallon of gas because a reckless, arrogant man decided to launch a war for no good reason. It is unsustainable when it costs twice as much to fill up – and we’re now very close to that point. The cost of gas averaged about $2.80 around Christmas – just a little more than four months ago. It is currently – as of May 19 – about $4.50 per gallon.

A little more than four months ago, it only cost about $60 to put 22 gallons of regular unleaded in a large, V8-powered SUV such as a Chevy Tahoe. It currently costs about $100 to fill the same tank. If we have not arrived at the point of unsustainability, we’re surely close to it. Its too early to know exactly how soon the bottom will fall out but it is inevitable that it’s going to fall out. The used car lots will fill up with large SUVs with V8 engines – the fire-sale prices notwithstanding because (again) even if it is affordable to buy one, most people still won;t be able to (or want to) feed one.

Then the market for new ones will collapse – and when it does, it will probably result in the collapse of several vehicle manufacturers that have become completely dependent on the profits made selling large SUVs (as well as large trucks).

NVidia (Finally) Admits The Obvious - Denninger

 Their "monopoly" is gone.

No, their stock price didn't crash, but they all but admitted Huawei is going to be the lead in China when it comes to the chips run there -- particularly for AI, but not only for AI.  Their CEO, in other words, admitted in public what anyone who actually read any of the material related to Huawei, China and others over the last several years already knew (and which I've pointed out repeatedly.)

Whistling past the market's detonation everyone is.

Why?

Because the same is going to happen domestically, and "AI" isn't going to actually be what people believe......

......Even people who I know are quite intelligent have bought into the BS of those pumping this stuff: The tasks that we as humans find trivial -- and I remind you that the human brain consumes about 20 watts to do everything it does, most of which is consumed keeping your organism alive -- are those which computers require terawatts of power to emulate and they still cannot manage it because there is in fact no actual inference going on.  We don't know how the brain does it (even if the brain is in the head of a cat) and thus we can't reproduce it.......

https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=255447 

.....Oh by the way this does not demonstrate out-of-scope thought since it is simply a search through existing facts -- albeit a very fast one which is what computers are good at.

But the claims of firms like Microsoft's recent pronouncement that 60% of all jobs -- all white collar work -- will be replaced by AI within the next 18 months -- do not pass the giggle test.

That is not going to happen and yet the entirety of the market's current levels are based on that being true.

It is not true.

No computer has ever acted out of scope.

Not even once in the history of computing, yet humans do it every single day.

That humans do so is why with roughly 20 hours of training and a tenth of a kilowatt-hour of energy expenditure a 16 year old human can operate a motor vehicle with 99.9% success thereafter (and improving) while the computer, which cannot, is forced to have a corpus of billions of miles of travel in order to understand that a semi trailer across the road is dangerous -- and when the corpus is missing the current specific danger it decapitates you by driving under said trailer because it cannot actually infer anything.

The "AI" is not hallucinating; it is following its programming.
