END WOKENESS: Sheriff Garry McFadden (Charlotte) was not able to name any of the 3 branches of gov: Legislation, Executive, Judicial. As Sheriff, he falls under the Executive.

The congressman is Allen Chesser Republican from North Carolina.  It's interesting to see that some Republicans are quite tenacious, like there are ones who do their job and do it well.  Chesser looks like on of them.

SUZANNE HUMPHREYS: they looked to see what happened 12 hours later at a genetic level. And what this doctor reported was 33 allergy related jeans were activated. 66 Asthma genes were activated. 67 cancer genes were up regulated, and 25 immunological genes were up regulated.

So this is another study that I will show you from 2008. This was a Swedish study, and they looked at infants after their tetanus acellular pertussis vaccines and polio hib and polio him so these were babies so these are babies and they got the regular vaccines at 3 and 5 months.  And then they took some of their blood out and they exposed it to the whooping cough toxin, which is basically what's in the vaccine, and then they looked to see what happened 12 hours later on a genetic level.  And what this doctor reported was 33 allergy related jeans were activated.  66 Asthma genes were activated.  67 cancer genes were up regulated, and 25 immunological genes were up regulated.  So, we're definitely seeing on a genetic level some waking up.  Now, whether or not it goes through completely and causes these diseases, no, it doesn't in everybody right then and there.  But do we know that unless something comes along and shuts these down what is the result?  We don't know. 

HARVEY C. MANSFIELD: But manliness is taking charge of things in a situation of risk and it's just for the few. So it's not the same thing as being a gentleman, which is being gentle though strong.

[1:35]  Feminism is an opinion that there's no serious differences between the sex, between the sexes, meaning that your sex doesn't give you duties or rights or status in any way different from the other sex. So that's the kind of equality that feminism wanted which means that the two sexes we're pretty much the same.  In the 19th century, feminism was different.  In the 19th century, women declared that women were superior not just equal but superior to men, especially in morals and this was an opinion a traditional opinion long time to be seen.  You can see it in de Tocqueville's discussion of American women.  And since women were more moral, if they had the vote, they would improve our politics and they would take us out of the corruption of the Big City bosses and parties and male voters getting drunk.  And that to some extent succeeded, because we did give women the suffrage in the early 20th century.  But that wasn't good enough for Simone de Beauvoir, the author of present-day feminism.  She wrote a book called The Second Sex.

[7:40] One of the themes of your book on Manliness is your extraordinary and I think correct respect for both sexes there is such conscientiousness and respect woven throughout your text and I wonder for those who haven't yet had the chance to read your book tell us what is Manliness and how is Margaret Thatcher manly.

My quick definition of manliness is taking charge of things in a situation of risk. So manliness is a quality, sometimes good, sometimes bad, of those who seek to take charge and handle dangerous situations or at least tricky situations, and don't hang back or just watch or ponder things.  So manliness is a quality of a very few men, not of most men or all men.  That's why I distinguish Manliness from masculinity, or what's called toxic masculinity. There is a certain toxic masculinity that goes with being a male. But manliness is an attitude especially of those people who are manly against those men who aren't.  It's not so much against women because they're excused from being manly. After all they're women.  But manliness is just for the few. So it's not the same thing as being a gentleman, which is being gentle though strong. A person can be manly without being very gentle or being gentlemanly.  So they're kind of levels of the quality of Manliness but it's also the case that there are exceptions and overlaps between men and women and Margaret Thatcher is an example of a woman who sought risk and suffered it in a manly fashion very bold and very durable, "The Iron Lady."

CHARLIE KIRK: Assassination culture is spreading on the left. 48% of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. 55% said the same about Donald Trump.

The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response. --Charlie Kirk, April 7, 2025

from Charlie Kirk, April 7, 2025,

Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump. In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione. The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response. This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into a ticking time bomb.
