I guess it must be now know as the stock curse. August 2024. After I met with his team in Madison, and they promised to introduce me to him in a Wisconsin visit….then he bows out. I will admit, his team knew a lot, I educated them a bit. Oh well.
Quick take on Madison, I knew it well as a “lad” of 16 to 25. It was odd this time. We went to a wonderful restaurant which was decently priced, before the Jake Shimabukuro concert, maybe one of the world’s best Ukulele players. The food was awesome and decent price. The waitress disappeared when we were ready for the check….major mistake, but gave her a decent 15% tip on inflated food prices.
Cleaning my office. And the notes….in Madison, walked around the Capitol of which they have a massive farmers market on Saturday. Massive. Prices, normal for what I would like to get as a farmer, which I am. But no one is selling organic, just one place stated no pesticides, and that is out of say 400. Their prices were what I would want to sell as Organic. So there is plenty of money in Madison, they will spend it on non-organic, at organic prices. It is so “liberal” as it has always been.
Now I shall throw down: In 2.5 hours, I was shocked, although still enjoying the walk around the huge and beautiful capital.
Boom, No one had a tan, no one was wearing red (the Wisconsin Badgers colors and an extroverted color, I can say that besides the 2 pretty post 50’s Asian ladies I was with….there was only 1 other pretty female that I noticed, out of say 5000. Shocking, they don’t even try anymore. Madison used to be quite the fun town. There were several musicians playing on the streets, hoping for tips, but not overtly, and their quality was quite high.
Sad to say, this Liberal capital, Madison, has turned into something not what it was.
We went sailing on Lake Mendota, the best but just one of the 7 great lakes of Madison, and it was brisk winds. Enough to be exciting, but too windy to enjoy the shallow warm bay famous for wading and drinking beer.
From Vegas hiking several years back…..what an awesome time.
Who pulled together these people to “Endorse Kamala Harris”?
The total revenue of the companies of all the Endorsers is around $960 Billion. The Total combined revenue of the Fortune 500 companies was $18,000 Billion. That meshes with my estimate of support for Harris, which is now much more than the less than 1% she got when running for President prior. Her support level is therefore around 5.3%.
She is a dis-likable female, as opposed to the hate-able Hillary, and yes, Jill. She is past her prime, intellectually and in looks. And her prime intellectually was never that good….just listening to power structures.
We endorse Kamala Harris’s election as President of the United States.
Her election is the best way to support the continued strength, security, and reliability of our democracy and economy. With Kamala Harris in the White House, the business community can be confident that it will have a President who wants American industries to thrive. As a partner to President Biden, Vice President Harris has a strong record of advancing actions to spur business investment in the United States and ensure American businesses can compete and win in the global market. She will continue to advance fair and predictable policies that support the rule of law, stability, and a sound business environment, and she will strive to give every American the opportunity to pursue the American dream.

what is the total revenue of all large american corporations and privately held companies
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT
Searched 3 sites
The total revenue of large American corporations can be gauged from sources such as the Fortune 500 list, which includes both publicly traded and privately held companies. According to the 2023 data, the combined revenue of these Fortune 500 companies was around $18 trillion.
For privately held companies, the largest, such as Cargill and Koch Industries, add significant revenue to this figure. Cargill, for instance, reported $177 billion in revenue in 2023, and Koch Industries followed with approximately $125 billion.
When combining both large publicly traded and privately held companies, the total revenue from these companies reaches well into the trillions of dollars annually, though exact figures for privately held companies can vary due to limited financial disclosures.
This gives a comprehensive view of the vast economic scale of large American corporations and privately held companies, which together generate substantial global revenue(Wikipedia)(Eqvista).
stock here: Wokeness can lead to not just pregnant and alone, single mom poverty. But now these woke white girls don’t have to go through all that….they can just be killed while still young. Note the media bias, and the promotion of getting white girls to date black males….in the photos, it is 80% black male, white girl. 20% or less black girl, white male. Think about the reasons for that….and let me know in comments. It took a month for the perps NAME to come out, and no pictures. And the accident and chase was 100% in Germantown WI, but somehow the State Police took control of the “investigation”.
This video from the mother is on Facebook, there is a ton of new information in this. Why are they protecting this criminal. Why did the investigation go to the State Patrol. Why was the officer in charge of the investigation lying to the mom, stating that the perp had a leg amputated, and that he was under heavy sedation and he said that the perp was not allowed to have visitors, and that he couldn’t be charged until he was out of his near coma. Then the perp is on video, outside the hospital, with both legs, and hanging out with some friends, whipping the bird to the video taker?
What is the name of the state trooper in charge? Why did they not search the car even 2 weeks later? Who is the owner of the car and did they know the perp was using the car? Why is the trooper continually dropped the “we are SO short staffed” excuse?
I suspected this after even the perps name was not released for a month after he killed a cute blond white girl, in a 120MPH police chase on a side street that ended up at a T in the road and him slamming in to a tree. I was correct, at least for now. The drivers name is Javonte Spikes. That’s a black name. This might be his Facebook, links to Chicago, no info about him, at least not now. She enjoyed painting.

Accident Aug 9th, today, September 6th, Friday, he was finally charged with homicide via vehicle. Well over 100 MPH at 1:30 AM on a Friday night, the chase took 41 seconds.

After the vaccination process, the medical protocol requires vaccinated people to remain in the vaccinated area for a few minutes so that can receive assistance in case of an emergency. The current protocol attempts to record the status of vaccinated persons only at the vaccination site without looking at their condition afterward. Unfortunately, many cases were recorded as deceased after the vaccination process.
In the death rate test, the effect of vaccines on the death of vaccinated people was studied to determine the relationship between the vaccine received and other metadata of vaccinated people (i.e., age and gender). Table 8 shows the percentages of deaths for different vaccines. The results show that the death rates for J&J, MERCK, MODERNA, PFIZER_BioNTech, and UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER are 0.3 %, 6.0 %, 2.8 %, 3.1 %, and 21.0 %, respectively. The results indicate that the J&J vaccine had the lowest death rate, whereas the unknown manufacturer’s vaccine had the largest death rate. MERCK showed a higher death rate than the MODERNA and PFIZER_BioNTech vaccines. The overall results show that the overall death rate for all the vaccines is less than 3 %.

by Sasha Stone
Harris has been tripping the light fantastic on the campaign trail only showing the side her campaign wants people to see. It reminds me of the many years I’ve spent covering the Oscars. The campaigns for Best Actress always follow the same pattern. They get a stylist. They make selective appearances. They show up on the rope line. They shake hands. They look great. The one thing they don’t do is interviews.
Hollywood has its greasy fingerprints all over the Harris campaign. We know that. They see it as their mission to stop Trump. So they’ve taken things into their own hands. It seems like Harris has hired awards consultants rather than politicos.
They have her projecting mostly joy and positivity. Harris has done an excellent job playing the role they’ve given her, somewhere between the blessed virgin and Eva Peron.
But they’re flirting with disaster. That’s not the real Kamala Harris. They’re hiding her from the press because they know that.
They’re gambling on Trump, showing up as obnoxious, abusive, and belligerent. Harris will do everything she can to poke and prod him into a reaction. She will call him too old. She will say we need change. She will call him a racist. She will call him a criminal.
But what if Trump doesn’t show up that way? What if he is, instead, polite, well-behaved, and, dare I say it, even sympathetic to audiences? It will throw her off her game. If Trump does nothing else, he should show up as Nice Trump, not combative Trump.
The key thing Trump must remember is that Harris isn’t like Hillary Clinton. She isn’t tough. She is fragile, easily triggered, and mercurial. She can go from a hot temper to explosive laughter in minutes.
But voters feel sympathy for her because she’s a Black/Asian woman — and that will mean that any attacks on her will backfire. I learned that from the Oscars, too. People vote for what makes them feel good and watching Harris make history feels good. They care less about yet “another old white guy.” The key for Trump is to coax her out of the role she’s playing and allow the real Kamala Harris to emerge.
What can Trump do to close the deal? Here are a few ideas:
The “we’re not going back” narrative does seem to resonate as the default for “bad white man” running against “woman of color.” Everything is about race and racism with the Democrats, and this is no different. That isn’t really change. That’s just casting.
But for many people on the Left, it is. They want to see a woman, especially a woman of color, make history.
The best Trump can do is make the case for the silent majority that they need more than just making history. How long are they expected to care only about that? How long are they going to keep the same regime in power just because of identity politics?
Trump offered the people change back in 2016, and he delivered on it. All they’ve been trying to do ever since is stop him.
Harris might look like the change Americans want, but she is really a continuation of the failures of the Biden administration.
Afghanistan – she was the last person in the room.
Inflation – she was the deciding vote on the bill that drove it.
The border – yes, she backed the failed deal, but it was mostly a bill to fund the war in Ukraine disguised as a border bill.
The Economy – Biden wrecked it. She can’t fix it.
The Democrats refuse to talk about this controversial topic, yet it is the one way Trump might win over female voters. The moderators at the debate will never bring it up. Harris refuses to answer any questions by the media, so it will have to be up to Trump to blurt it out so Harris will have to answer for it.
The Biden/Harris administration and Tim Walz, are fully on board with children transitioning, either with therapy or medication or surgery. Where does Harris stand? What are their age requirements? How young is too young?
We’ve heard “mind your own business,” but that’s not good enough. Government is our business. And we have a right to know if they plan to continue with puberty blockers, which have been banned in several countries.
It’s probably too much to ask to get Harris down on the record about the kinds of books they offer to kids in schools about gender, but Trump can surely try. This is his only chance.
Where does Harris stand on biological men playing in women’s sports? Can Trump force the issue?
I have vowed to vote only for Republicans because all Democrats support this madness. Every voter in America must know where they stand.
The Biden/Harris administration has thoroughly botched:
—The exit from Afghanistan
—The Hamas attack on Israel
—Russia invading Ukraine
How is it that everyone expects Harris to suddenly be able to lead this country through one of its most dangerous moments in history? Is JOY going to keep us safe? Will vibes guide the country through the gathering storm?
Harris and Walz are too afraid of even the propaganda press asking tough questions: how can they be trusted to face our dangerous adversaries? She will say Trump makes friends with dictators and is “nice” to Vladimir Putin, but at least he’s not afraid to talk to the media. She is.
Neither Harris nor Walz could protect America from the rioters in the summer of 2020. Tim Walz let Minneapolis burn and refused to call in the National Guard. Kamala Harris visited Jacob Blake and didn’t care about the wrecked businesses, not to mention supporting bailing out protesters.
Here is an interview with the real Kamala Harris:
They only want to talk about January 6th, which didn’t do even a fraction of the damage done that Summer by people who weren’t even protesting with Black Lives Matter. They came in from all over the place. No one ever knew their names. They ravaged our cities. They brutally attacked the nation’s police force all while Kamala Harris and Tim Walz said nothing and did nothing to protect them or anyone else. Let it burn, they said.
Yet, it was January 6th that Kamala Harris called as bad as Pearl Harbor and 9/11. Like Joe Biden, she does not believe she should lead or care about this entire country. She doesn’t care about those who showed up at the Capitol who were upset with our government and how they ran the 2020 election.
They have all decided that it was Trump who ordered the riot. But why would he have ordered the riot when he’d spent so much time convincing Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz to debate the undemocratic election changes, among other things?
All the riot did was hand absolute power to the Democrats and give them a piece of propaganda they could use forever.
Trump is better off staying away from the 2020 election entirely, but if she brings it up, he should pivot immediately to the Summer of 2020.
Here is a funny video from the Babylon Bee:
The American people need a president who cares about all of them, not a president who wants to throw half of them in solitary.
Not only could she have secured the border in the past four years — she could do it right now — but she has repeatedly ignored the rapes, the murders, and the rising crime from migrants who crossed the border illegally, knowing America had weak leadership at the top.
Even the media can’t ignore the gangs from Venezuela. Yet, identity politics so cripple the Biden/Harris administration they can’t even name the crimes, let alone protect Americans from them.
Trump must hammer the point home: the Biden/Harris administration can’t keep Americans safe. As long as they are in power, America is at risk.
Trump has shown himself to be brave enough to take a bullet for America. He isn’t afraid of anything or anyone.
Kamala Harris talks a good game, but everyone knows the Biden/Harris administration continues to leave the silent majority out. She’s pretending to care about the middle class now, but what about the last four years? Why didn’t they prioritize the concerns of working families then?
America is more divided than ever. We have a crisis of masculinity. Young men are being ignored and left behind. Anxiety is at an all-time high. No one in power helps to reassure them. And that is what Trump can do. He’s the “dad energy” America needs, not Tim Walz. Young men need a real leader, not one who cuts and runs from combat or lets his city burn.
The Harris/Walz ticket, like the Biden/Harris administration, is what Hollywood has become. It’s an insulated, isolated bubble. Maybe they can hire good writers, stylists, and consultants to manifest a beautiful illusion they hope will last until just past Election Day. And like every actress who wins the gold statue after running the gauntlet, it will feel like something important just happened.
Only after that does the illusion break apart and shatter into a million tiny pieces. The truth is that this isn’t an Oscar campaign. This is a campaign to lead the most powerful country in the world at a most precarious time. It will be up to Trump to show America she is nowhere near up to the job.
And it will be up to Trump to show that he can keep his cool while Harris does everything she can to break him down.
They want you dead.
Do NOT comply.

So we need more energy for the poor and less for the rich?
It’s the poorer people in tropical zones who will get really hit by climate change — as well as some ecosystems, which nobody wants to see disappear. This is a global thing, and it’s really hard for people to get their minds around the amount of reduction required. Every year we’re increasing the amount of CO2 we put out, and yet we’re talking about an 80 percent reduction. To make that happen, the rich world is going to have to be way down — way down — in energy use.

President Lincoln I put forth was following through on what the former President Jackson declared in a proclamation against his vice president when Calhoun resigned said position after he put forth the reality of nullification….Jackson declared a proclamation that that was “not allowed” and asserted federal control authority and the rest is effing history – the Trail of Tears led to the Lincoln asserting federal authority upon states chose to join the union – with military force and the Sherman burned Atlanta – and well – this is history in action – do you know the details?

Using solar to heat hot water is ridiculous. I know the behind-the-times morons in the Building Dept. made it mandatory on new housing. And I know that heating water from tap temperatures is theoretically more efficient that using your PV. I might agree if I had six or seven kids and a wife who were always taking hot showers, but I don’t.
I have never had any more that a 55gal electric water heater which has been with plenty for guests, kids and grandkids when they visit. We have a 36 panel PV system on the old net-metering agreement. We also have a 12 panel PV Battery Backup system. We have never had to pay more than the HECO minimum charge to keep our account open. We changed the date of our net metering anniversary from October (when the daylight gets shorter) to April when the daylight gets longer. One year we ended up with a $1,500 HECO credit. We haven’t had to run piping all over the place, buy an 85gal tank, recirc pumps and other costly parts solar hot water requires.
My two neighbors both had solar hot water systems on their roofs. One had panels that sprung leaks and rotted out their shake roof. They couldn’t see what was happening since the leaking water was all collected in their gutters and drained off underground in their downspouts. The other neighbor had to replace their entire aluminum roof. Both never replaced their solar hot water systems.
My son put in solar hot water to heat his swimming pool. Guess what? It heats itself when the sun is shining. It doesn’t need it most of the year and solar doesn’t do the job the rest of the year.
PV with HECO and battery backups will most likely be there to produce warm water if the Board of Water Supply would stop blowing water mains all over the island.

Does it seem like the huge increase in airplane turbulence, especially clear air turbulence, could be in part caused by the increase in galactic rays due to magnetic field weakening AND in coombination with increased solar activity?
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT
The increase in airplane turbulence, particularly clear air turbulence (CAT), could indeed be influenced by a combination of factors, including changes in atmospheric conditions related to climate change, increased solar activity, and possibly the effects of galactic cosmic rays due to a weakening magnetic field. Galactic cosmic rays can potentially alter atmospheric dynamics by ionizing particles and affecting cloud formation and weather patterns. Increased solar activity, such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), can also influence the Earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field, further contributing to turbulence.
However, while these are plausible contributing factors, the primary driver of increased turbulence, according to current research, is more likely linked to changes in jet stream patterns and atmospheric instability caused by global climate change. The weakening of the magnetic field and cosmic ray influence is a more speculative area that would require further scientific study to establish a direct connection to turbulence.
You said:
can you make a chart showing before and after jet stream patterns, and planes always have flown near and in the jet streams so just a change in position doesn’t seem to justify more CAT, so discuss that with evidence if it exists
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT
Analyzed
The chart above illustrates a hypothetical comparison of jet stream patterns before and after the effects of climate change. The “Before Climate Change” pattern is smoother and more stable, while the “After Climate Change” pattern shows a more wavy and erratic jet stream, which can be associated with increased atmospheric instability and turbulence.
Discussion on Increased Clear Air Turbulence (CAT)
While jet streams have always been a source of turbulence, the increase in CAT is not solely due to changes in jet stream positions but also due to the following factors:
Increased Temperature Gradients:
Climate change has led to greater temperature contrasts at different altitudes, which can intensify jet streams and create more unstable conditions in the atmosphere, leading to more frequent and severe CAT.
Strengthening of the Jet Streams:
Some studies have indicated that climate change may be causing jet streams to strengthen in certain areas, which can lead to an increase in turbulence. Stronger jet streams create more shear in the atmosphere, a key factor in the development of CAT.
Changes in Atmospheric Composition:
Increased levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases can change the vertical temperature profile of the atmosphere, leading to more frequent encounters with turbulence-inducing conditions at cruising altitudes.
Galactic Cosmic Rays:
While not the primary cause, there is ongoing research into how galactic cosmic rays, which increase when the Earth’s magnetic field weakens, might influence atmospheric processes. These cosmic rays can ionize particles in the atmosphere, potentially affecting cloud formation and weather patterns, although their direct connection to CAT is less clear and remains an area of active study.
Solar Activity:
Increased solar activity can cause disturbances in the Earth’s magnetosphere, which could theoretically contribute to changes in atmospheric dynamics. However, like cosmic rays, the direct impact on CAT is not well-established in current research.
Conclusion
While jet stream changes are a factor, they alone do not fully explain the increase in clear air turbulence. The interplay between climate change-induced atmospheric instability, stronger jet streams, and possibly cosmic rays and solar activity might contribute to the observed rise in CAT. However, the most significant and well-supported factor remains the changes in atmospheric stability due to global warming.

The speaker expresses concern over the moral and cultural decline in contemporary Western society, noting a sense of powerlessness among the population. The decline is presented as something that has emerged suddenly, but with deeper historical roots.
Historical Context:
The discussion traces back to the 16th century, exploring how the Jesuits, who were initially highly influential in education and evangelization, eventually faced suppression and expulsion from many countries, including by the Pope himself.
The Jesuits are described as having undergone a long and rigorous formation process, emphasizing discipline, intellectual rigor, and obedience, which set them apart from other religious orders.
The Jesuits’ Rise and Fall:
The speaker outlines the Jesuits’ rise in influence due to their dedication to education and missionary work, particularly their success in evangelizing the elite, which was seen as crucial for shaping society.
The narrative then shifts to their decline, highlighting how they were expelled from many regions and eventually dissolved by the Pope, which marked a significant turning point.
Reflection on the 20th Century and Vatican II:
The speaker discusses how the Jesuits, along with other religious orders, were infiltrated and compromised by modernist influences in the 20th century, particularly after Vatican II. This infiltration is linked to broader societal changes and the weakening of traditional Catholic structures.
Personal and Historical Perspective:
The speaker references Spanish history and Catholicism, drawing on the works of Spanish historians and theologians to provide context for the discussion. They emphasize the importance of understanding history to grasp the current situation.
Future Exploration:
The video concludes with a promise to delve deeper into the Jesuits’ expulsion and the events leading up to it in subsequent videos, aiming to connect these historical events to the current state of society.
The overall theme of the video is a reflection on how historical events, particularly those involving the Jesuits, have shaped the moral and cultural trajectory of Western society, leading to the present-day challenges.

The “Monita Secreta” (or “Secret Instructions”) is a controversial and historically disputed document purportedly associated with the Jesuits, officially known as the Society of Jesus, a Catholic religious order founded by Ignatius of Loyola in 1540. The document has been a significant part of anti-Jesuit and anti-Catholic propaganda, especially during the 17th and 18th centuries.
Background of the “Monita Secreta”:
Authorship and Publication:
The “Monita Secreta” was first published in 1614 in Krakow, Poland, and its authorship remains disputed. It was attributed to Claudio Acquaviva, the fifth Superior General of the Jesuits, but this attribution is widely regarded as false. The document was claimed to be a set of secret instructions given to Jesuit superiors to guide their actions, often implying deceit and manipulation for the order’s benefit.
Historians and scholars generally believe that the “Monita Secreta” was a forgery, likely created by opponents of the Jesuits, such as those in Protestant circles or others who were critical of the Catholic Church’s influence.
Content of the “Monita Secreta”:
The document purportedly outlines strategies for the Jesuits to gain power and influence, including tactics such as exploiting the wealth of the order’s benefactors, manipulating powerful figures, and using deceit to further the order’s interests.
Some of the specific instructions include acquiring wealth by any means, using confessionals to extract secrets, and fostering divisions among enemies of the Church.
Impact and Spread:
The “Monita Secreta” quickly became a tool in anti-Jesuit propaganda, particularly in Protestant countries where the Jesuits were viewed with suspicion. The document was reprinted multiple times across Europe and was used to justify accusations of conspiracy and subversion against the Jesuits.
Despite its dubious origins, the “Monita Secreta” fueled conspiracy theories about the Jesuits for centuries. The order was already seen by many as powerful and secretive, and this document reinforced those fears.
Historical Rejection:
Over time, many scholars, including some Protestant historians, recognized the “Monita Secreta” as a forgery. The content and tone of the document were inconsistent with the known practices and policies of the Jesuits, and there was no evidence to support its authenticity.
Today, the “Monita Secreta” is widely regarded as an example of early modern propaganda, illustrating how religious and political tensions of the time were often inflamed by fabricated documents.
The Jesuit Response:
The Jesuits themselves vehemently denied the authenticity of the “Monita Secreta” and worked to refute the allegations. They argued that the document was a slanderous attempt to discredit the Society of Jesus and to undermine their work in education, missionary activities, and other fields.
Conclusion:
The “Monita Secreta” is an important artifact in the history of religious and political propaganda. While it reflects the fears and suspicions that surrounded the Jesuits during a turbulent period of European history, it is not a genuine representation of the order’s practices or beliefs. Instead, it serves as a reminder of how misinformation and forgeries can be used to shape public perceptions and fuel conflicts.
If you’re interested in further reading, scholarly works on the history of the Jesuits often address the “Monita Secreta” in the context of anti-Jesuit propaganda, offering a detailed examination of its origins and impact.
It seems likely that the Ashkenazi, often seen as Zionists, could have created the Secreta in order to drive division between the catholics and the jesuits.

The idea that Ashkenazi Jews, often associated with Zionism, could have created the “Monita Secreta” to drive a wedge between Catholics and Jesuits is a speculative theory with no solid historical evidence to support it. The “Monita Secreta” is widely regarded by historians as a forgery created as part of anti-Jesuit propaganda during a time of intense religious and political conflict in Europe.
Historical Context of the “Monita Secreta”:
Anti-Jesuit Sentiment: The “Monita Secreta” emerged in a context of significant opposition to the Jesuits, particularly from Protestant groups and certain Catholic factions who were suspicious of the Jesuits’ influence within the Catholic Church and their involvement in education and politics. These opponents feared the Jesuits’ loyalty to the Pope and their role in the Counter-Reformation, which sought to reclaim territories and souls lost to Protestantism.
Authorship and Attribution:
The document was first published in Kraków in 1614, and its authorship has been traditionally attributed to those who sought to discredit the Jesuits. The claim that Ashkenazi Jews could have been behind this forgery lacks substantial evidence.
Theories about the origins of such documents often reflect the prejudices and scapegoating tendencies of the time, where various groups were blamed for social or religious conflicts.
Religious and Political Dynamics in Kraków:
Kraków in the early 17th century was a religiously diverse city within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, with significant Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant populations. However, there is no historical record suggesting that the Jewish community, including Ashkenazi Jews, had any involvement in the creation of the “Monita Secreta.”
The Jewish community in Kraków during this period was primarily focused on maintaining its own religious and cultural practices while navigating the challenges of living in a predominantly Christian society.
Zionism:
Zionism as a political movement advocating for the re-establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine did not emerge until the late 19th century, long after the publication of the “Monita Secreta.” The association of Ashkenazi Jews with Zionism would therefore be anachronistic in the context of the early 17th century.
Forgery as a Political Tool:
Forged documents like the “Monita Secreta” were often used as political weapons in the religious and ideological battles of the time. The creation of such forgeries was more likely the work of those who were directly opposed to the Jesuits’ influence within the Catholic Church and broader European society.
Conclusion:
While conspiracy theories have often suggested various origins for controversial documents like the “Monita Secreta,” the overwhelming consensus among historians is that it was a product of anti-Jesuit sentiment, likely created by those within Protestant or other opposing Catholic factions. The theory that Ashkenazi Jews were involved in its creation is not supported by credible historical evidence and seems to reflect a retrospective and speculative interpretation rather than a documented fact.
For a deeper understanding, it is important to consult historical scholarship on the subject, which thoroughly examines the document in the context of its time and the broader religious and political struggles of early modern Europe.
stock here: this is kind of funny. Move over Ryan Gosling!
Second gentleman Doug Emhoff is the type of “progressive sex symbol” modern women want, a liberal Washington Post columnist argued in her column published Friday.
“Move over, Ryan Gosling. The modern female fantasy is embodied by the man who might soon become our first First Gentleman,”Catherine Rampell wrote.
What is curious, is that this same writer, criticized the so-called Harris plan to put price controls on basic food items, like Venezuela or Cuba.
Since Gov. Tim Walz joined the 2024 Democratic ticket, media figures and Harris supporters have argued that Walz and Emhoff embrace a more modern version of masculinity that men should aspire to.
In leaving his prestigious law career to support Vice President Harris after the 2020 presidential race, Emhoff showed he was the kind of “fantasy man” women dream about, Rampell claimed in her column.

“Emhoff appears to be a genuine mensch with an impressive career. He’s smitten with his wife and supports her ambitions, as is obvious from his convention speech and their sweet interactions on the campaign trail,” she continued. “But most important for this sexy sobriquet: Emhoff is secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.”

“What. A. Hunk,” she praised.
Rampell dismissed questions about Emhoff’s role model husband status after he recently admitted to an extramarital affair that ended his first marriage.
“Whatever his previous marital drama, that makes him the working woman’s ideal partner today: He’s a high-achieving alpha, but isn’t threatened if his wife is, too,” the columnist continued her argument. “He loves his job, but he loves his wife more. He knows that ‘supporting’ one’s family is about more than financial support, and that temporarily setting aside his own professional ego makes him no less of a man.”

The columnist argued that the Democrats’ version of masculinity stands in sharp contrast to Republicans’ version of manliness.
“Women at least want a mate who won’t resent their career success — a tangible concern, given that divorce has been statistically more likely when women received job promotions or outearn their husbands. Hence, the Emhoffian ‘wife guy’ fantasy. Which, needless to say, sharply contrasts with conservatives’ portrayal of manliness,” she argued.

“Instead of helping men appreciate how they fit into their evolving families and communities today, Trump offers sexist name-calling and weaponized nostalgia. ‘Make America Great Again’ means returning to a 1950s-era economy, with its attendant gender (and racial) roles,” she scolded.
What women actually want is “to be valued and supported as much as they deserve,” by their husbands in private and public, she wrote. “On that score, Emhoff looks like a dreamboat.”

Rampell isn’t the only media figure making this case. CNN anchor Dana Bash recently said that Democrats are trying to appeal to men who might not be as masculine as their Republican counterparts.
“But they are doing so in trying to put forward male figures, Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff last night, who can speak to men out there who might not be the sort of testosterone-laden, you know, gun-toting kind of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan and the kind of players that came out at the RNC or might want to listen to that,” she said.
ESPN analyst Mina Kimes also praised Walz’s “different kind of masculinity” in comments last week.
“We’re kind of seeing it in the NFL with the Kelces, and Dan Campbell – this idea that ‘big, tough football guy’ isn’t separate from showing emotion and empathy,” Kimes said on Pablo Torre’s podcast. “Yes, they’re calling him ‘coach’ and what not, but in the same breath, they are emphasizing, ‘this man, the year he was a football coach, also ran the gay-straight alliance at the high school.’ That’s really powerful in a way that goes far beyond politics and electability, which is the discussion we’re having. There are very few models like that in American public life.”

stock here: He really did repeal a law that protected babies that “got out”, so that if the baby was born, the mom or presumably the husband could also demand that the doctor kill the baby out of womb. This was 2023.”
In Minnesota under Governor Tim Walz, the Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act was signed into law in 2023, ensuring the right to abortion without explicit gestational limits. This makes Minnesota one of the states with the most expansive abortion rights in the country. The law enshrines access to abortion and other reproductive health services, such as birth control and sterilization, and prevents local governments from enacting restrictions.
However, the claim that 5-6 babies are “born alive and then murdered” under these laws is more complex. Reports do indicate that between 2019 and 2022, several infants were born alive during abortion procedures, but the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, which required care for such infants, was repealed in 2023. This has led to controversy, with critics labeling it a medical and ethical concern (MPR News)
Welcome to the race, Tim Walz! Let’s make sure America knows who you are.
You helped ignite the George Floyd riots, the worst the country had seen in decades. While Minneapolis burned, you stalled on deploying the National Guard for an entire day, blaming the city for not submitting the right paperwork.
You let your daughter leak the Guard’s deployment plans online, so that rioters would know how long they had to loot the city with impunity. Minneapolis is a war zone because of you.
Just days after the attempted murder of Donald Trump, you called him and his supporters “fascists,” egging on the same rhetoric that led to him being shot in the first place.
You have overseen some of the most radical youth trans surgery laws in the country. Under your leadership teenagers can get their breast chopped off and get sterilized, and your government calls it “healthcare.”
You have the most radical abortion laws in the country. Zero limits. Every year 5-6 babies are BORN ALIVE and then murdered “legally” under laws you support.
On immigration, you famously said you wanted to provide a “ladder” so invaders can come over Trump’s wall. You are a radical open border zealot.
You oversaw the single worst fraud of the Covid era, the Feeding Our Future case. Thanks to ineptitude at your Department of Education, criminals stole $250 million of taxpayer dollars to spend on luxury cars, houses, and vacations.
Also during Covid, you approved $500 million in “hero pay” for frontline workers, only to have 40% of that money go to people who were ineligible or, in many cases, literally deceased.
In the House, you were Pelosi’s sidekick and did whatever the Democrats demanded.
You will try and disguise yourself as a folksy midwestern moderate. In reality, you are a white male version of Kamala Harris.
Radical. Inept. Undeserving to be in leadership. Make this go viral. Ruin their honeymoon. Let’s educate millions because the media will not.

Blog Soundbite Summary:
Rosa, once a happy teenager, spiraled into confusion during the Covid lockdowns, leading her to believe she was in the wrong body. Dr. Miriam Grossman, a child psychiatrist, highlights the growing medical crisis of gender dysphoria, which has surged by 5,000% in recent years. Grossman criticizes the medical establishment for pushing gender-affirming care, rooted in flawed research, that can result in irreversible damage to young people like Rosa. While countries like the UK, Sweden, and Finland are pulling back on medical interventions in favor of counseling, the U.S. and Canada continue down a dangerous path. Grossman urges her medical colleagues to stand against this agenda and protect vulnerable children. Rosa’s story ended well thanks to early intervention, but many others are still at risk.

The incidence of gender dysphoria has increased 5,000% over the past decade. A French report has called current treatments potentially “one of the greatest ethical scandals in the history of medicine.” So, why do the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and many other medical associations support it?

Rosa was a smart, happy fourteen-year-old when she met her first boyfriend.
“I found my forever”, she told everyone – until he suddenly ended it.
Rosa was devastated – and the Covid lockdowns made things worse. She was isolated in her room all day, surfing the net.
As the lockdowns dragged on, Rosa became sullen, irritable, and withdrawn.
Her tank tops and shorts were replaced by oversize hoodies and baggy sweatpants
One day Rosa came home with a buzz cut. Shortly after, she declared she was a boy and demanded testosterone.
During my medical training, Rosa’s condition, now called gender dysphoria, was so rare, I never imagined I would see even one case in my lifetime. But over the past decade, the incidence of gender dysphoria has increased five thousand percent.
What changed?
Why did Rosa believe she was in the wrong body, and that without pharmaceuticals and operations, she’d never be happy?
Why do the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and many other medical associations claim that Rosa’s delusion is normal? Why do they recommend treatment that will disfigure and possibly sterilize her healthy body?
Before I answer that, let me tell you what hasn’t changed:
Sex is established at the moment of conception. Sex is permanent. While Rosa’s body can be modified, she will never be a boy.
Never.
But my profession has been hijacked by a political crusade determined to erase the very notion of male and female.
Medical associations have become mouthpieces for the gender zealots’ radical theories:
Individuals construct their own reality. If Rosa feels she’s a boy, she is one.
Hormones and surgery are the only solutions to gender dysphoria. If Rosa wants to grow a beard and to have her breasts removed, she has that fundamental right.
Those are the premises of so-called Gender Affirming Care.
Proponents claim the approach is evidence based, but the evidence is flimsy at best.
It rests on one small study done in Holland thirty years ago with only 55 subjects.
The primary entry requirement was severe gender distress from early childhood.
The subjects were given puberty blockers, opposite sex hormones, and occasionally surgery.
After 18 months, some subjects reported modest improvement.
The study had no control group and was never replicated, so for those and many other reasons, it’s considered seriously flawed and unreliable.
The “Dutch Protocol” was never intended to be the basis for helping all individuals distressed about their sex.
But that’s what’s happened. A tiny, defective study became the basis of gender medicine around the world.
This is a medical scandal, a man-made catastrophe, that has shattered many lives – not only of young people, but those who love them.
My colleagues, who should be protecting vulnerable kids like Rosa, are complicit in this atrocity.
Some by writing prescriptions, others with a scalpel, but the majority by witnessing the evil and remaining silent.
But there is reason for hope.
The most comprehensive review yet of Gender Affirming Care was recently commissioned by the National Health Service in Great Britain.
Dr. Hilary Cass, former president of Britain’s Royal College of Pediatrics, analyzed data from England’s Tavistock Gender clinic, the largest in the world until it was shut down in 2024.
Her report is a scathing indictment of the clinic’s practices. She demonstrates there is no evidence medical interventions benefit gender-distressed young people.
What the kids need, Dr. Cass concludes, is counseling.
Great Britain, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark have essentially stopped medical treatment of teens whose bodies are one hundred percent healthy, and are focusing on their minds and hearts.
The Netherlands, France, and Belgium are not far behind. In March of 2024, a report in France described sex reassignment in minors as potentially “one of the greatest ethical scandals in the history of medicine.”
But in the US and Canada, I’m sorry to say, it’s full steam ahead.
How do we stop this runaway train?
As a doctor, I’m going to put the responsibility on my colleagues. Do your research. You’re not hearing the other side of the debate. Read the Cass Report. Your medical associations have lost their way. Understand this is not about compassion or rights, it’s about tyranny.
Stand up to the activist bullies. Speak out against the sacrifice of children on the altar of a perverse political agenda.
Let me end where I began: with Rosa. Her story has a happy ending: her parents and I pulled her back from the brink. Tragically, many other Rosas have been lost, and many others are still out there. We must save them.
