In these mixed-up, misandrist times, there’s no shortage of articles claiming men are “broken” or lacking. And, surprise of surprises, the solution is always for the fellows to listen to feminization-prescribing social engineers and become more, well, like women. The latest example is “James” Barnes, a woman masquerading as a man who writes, “I’m a Trans Man. I Didn’t Realize How Broken Men Are.”

Now, what follows should be prefaced with: If you look for the brokenness in people, you’re sure to find it. Since we’re all part of a “broken” (i.e., fallen) race, anyone accusing others of brokenness will surely, in principle, be correct. The problem is that Barnes does not critique man, but men; and she doesn’t prescribe God, but gobbledygook.

Barnes begins with her “story.” This is a common literary technique — employed by women more than men — that’s designed to make the reader connect emotionally with the writer so that he’ll then be more likely to accept the former’s assertions regardless of their validity. In Barnes’ case, this includes asserting that she always felt like a boy “on the inside.”

After making her case that she really is male, deep down, Barnes writes at Newsweek, “When I enthusiastically started the transition process at 26 years old, I thought I had prepared for all the significant side effects: Acne, sweating, having an enormous appetite, and everything else that comes from testosterone” (note: the most horrible ones she perhaps omits).

She then continues, “The one thing I didn’t prepare for was how lonely it is to be a man.”

In reality, of course, Barnes could only have prepared for how lonely it is to be a woman pretending to be a man.

The program is ostensibly designed to eliminate “implicit bias.” Yet it promotes a very explicit one — a real doozy, too.

In fact, states a lawsuit filed by a coalition of California doctors against their state’s medical board, training now compulsory for Golden State physicians teaches that “white individuals are naturally racist.”

Of course, anti-white “anti-bias” training is common today. Yet one could wonder about the above. Since “racism” is our most obsessed-upon modern “sin” (the actual Seven Deadly Sins are passé), what are the implications of saying that whites alone carry with regard to it the stain of original sin? Must they be subjected to genetic engineering to purge this defect from them?

Or must we go even further and, as the racialists say, “erase whiteness,” which has become a euphemism for erasing white people?

Whatever the case….

“The Aborigines must be integrated into the new Australia; the old Australia is never coming back.” This statement is the antithesis of a referendum soon to be before the Australian people, the “Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.” The question on the ballot later this year will be, “A Proposed Law: To alter the Constitution to recognize the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. Do you approve this proposed alteration?”

Regardless of whether the referendum passes, anyone dismissing the effort with the “integrated into the new Australia” comment would be immediately canceled. This won’t happen, though, for a simple reason: No one actually uttered that line. But here’s what was said, by Swedish politician and multiculturalist Mona Sahlin in 2001:

“The Swedes must be integrated into the new Sweden; the old Sweden is never coming back.”

Sahlin was talking about how newcomers — Muslim immigrants, in particular — were irrevocably changing Sweden and there wasn’t a darn thing “indigenous” Swedes could do about it. Suck it up, Sven!

Funny thing, though, she was never canceled; in fact, she went on to have a successful political career.

Back in the 1970s, when trees became almost a protected class, we heard that we had to ditch paper supermarket bags (and move to plastic) because we were decimating too many forests. Now, 50 years later, with more tree cover in the U.S. than a century ago, the greentopians have another complaint:

American forests will become CO₂ emitters by 2070, they aver, joining 10 protected forests worldwide that already are net spewers of the gas.

Reflecting the complaints many misanthropic leftists have about people, the issue is that as trees age they become takers: Their growth slows and they use less CO₂. In fact, the amount metabolized is lower than that produced by wildfires and dead-tree decomposition.

True to form, some scientists have suggested as “remedy” what is already applied to people: euthanasia — with the arboreal version involving destroying senior-citizen trees and replacing them with young whippersnapper ones. Whether such a great replacement would involve foreign-tree imports was not revealed.

It’s always interesting when the media make someone or something a cause. A few may remember, for instance, golf prodigy Michelle Wie. In the early 2000s when she was about 14, the media relentlessly promoted the six-foot lass after she showed promise and boasted of how she was going to beat the men, including then-world number one Tiger Woods. For the media love feminism-buttressing, girl-power stories, and Wie wasn’t complaining: Much like Barack Obama getting a Nobel Peace Prize based on perceived potential, the positive press eventually won the golfer a $50 million Nike contract.

Oh, today, at age 33, Wie just retired, never having come close to being number one on even the women’s tour and having captured only one major tournament. Media hype met reality.

Another girl-power press darling is the U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT), the soccer ladies who’ve been protesting our National Anthem and who, until recently, were led by purple-haired lesbian Megan Rapinoe. As such, the pseudo-elites and the team’s few fans are crestfallen that the squad just registered its worst World Cup showing yet, falling to Sweden’s gals in the tournament’s round of 16. They’re also upset that the loss has pleased millions of Americans who don’t cotton to the USWNT’s unpatriotic displays.

Of course, the pseudo-elites can’t understand (or pretend they can’t) why anyone dislikes the team and, what’s more, they may even claim it’s unpatriotic to not support it.

West Virginia’s Joe Manchin, the “conservative” Democratic senator who votes with hard-left Joe Biden 88 percent of the time, said in 2021 that he has “never considered” switching parties. Now, some may say, he has switched his position on switching, with Manchin stating that he’s thinking “‘very seriously’ about switching party affiliation,” as Newser puts it. Yet while the senator would claim this is all about principle, is it really all about his conservative leanings?

That is, his desire to win the next election and conserve his power.

Manchin hasn’t officially thrown his hat into the ring, but if he does, he may be thrown out. While different polls do paint different pictures, and while the senator is more popular now than he was last year, a recent Morning Consult survey found that 55 percent of W.V. voters disapprove of his job performance; only 39 percent approve. What’s more, Manchin is far less popular than the man who’d be his probable Republican opponent, current governor Jim Justice. So, how can he make sure Justice isn’t served?

We discussed the burgeoning anti-white hatred and discrimination that is the Left's obsession. My appearance begins at 28:07.

It has become so obvious that even the less astute among us have noted leftists’ reflexive habit of projection: They tend to accuse others of what they themselves are guilty of. They’d say Covid realists were “science deniers” even as they insisted a boy could will himself into being a girl. They’d say the Right is violent even while winking and nodding at 2020’s 600-plus left-wing riots. They’ll say conservatives are “racist,” but turn around and demonize white people. Then there’s their love for hurling the pejorative “fascist.”

An interesting example is….

Leftists often accuse conservatives of wanting to return to the past — but leftists don’t have to.

They’re already there.

In a sort of racial version of Groundhog Day, to them it’s ever and always 1963, with Bull Connor siccing dogs on civil-rights protesters and Governor George Wallace standing in the schoolhouse door. Thus are they shocked — shocked, I tell you — that some Americans actually live in 2023.

The latest example is the mainstream media’s outrage that Trump voters and self-identified Republicans say that anti-white racism is a bigger problem in today’s America than is the anti-black variety. What’s more, Yahoo News complains that this belief is “one major roadblock” standing in the way of reparations.
