PART II: Congressional Report Validates COVID “Conspiracy Theories”

This is the second part of the article “Congressional Report Validates COVID Conspiracy Theories” (Part 1) from January 15, which concluded that the Wuhan lab is the most likely origin of the COVID-19 virus.

Furthermore, it revealed that the federal government funded gain-of-function research and that Fauci not only knew about it but actively suppressed information to keep it hidden from the public.

This article will highlight the reality of coordinated censorship of opposing views, the ineffectiveness of vaccines in stopping the spread of the disease, and the lack of scientific support for mandates, which ultimately caused more harm than good—along with other measures such as lockdowns and school closures.

According to the congressional report, President Trump’s travel restrictions, implemented rapidly during the pandemic, saved lives and were supported by Dr. Fauci, contradicting the narrative that these measures were xenophobic.

However, public health officials frequently spread misinformation through conflicting messages and a lack of transparency, with the federal government unjustly demonizing off-label drug use and the lab leak theory.

The Biden Administration employed undemocratic methods, including pressuring social media companies to censor COVID-19 content it deemed misinformation.

While Operation Warp Speed successfully accelerated the development of the COVID-19 vaccine and saved millions of lives, the vaccine did not prevent the spread or transmission of the virus, as promised.

The FDA rushed vaccine approval to meet the Biden Administration’s mandate timeline, ignoring warnings from senior scientists about potential adverse effects.

Vaccine mandates, unsupported by science, caused harm by undermining individual freedoms, harming military readiness, and ignoring natural immunity from prior infections.

Furthermore, vaccine injury reporting systems created confusion and eroded public trust, while the government failed to efficiently and transparently adjudicate claims for those injured by the vaccine.

Other measures taken by the government, supported by Dr. Fauci, had widespread negative economic impacts on individuals, communities, businesses, healthcare providers, and local governments.

Mandatory lockdowns led to over 160,000 business closures, 60% of which were permanent, while supply chain disruptions worsened disparities for businesses that remained operational.

The healthcare system suffered from reduced quality of care, longer wait times, and missed diagnoses.

Unemployment rates soared to Great Depression-era levels, with low-wage sectors hit hardest by broad mitigation measures like the now-debunked “6 feet apart” guidance.

While the Federal Reserve’s swift actions helped prevent a severe economic downturn, its aggressive approach also fueled soaring inflation.

Prolonged COVID-19 school closures, which lacked scientific justification, caused significant societal harm.

Children, who were unlikely to contribute to the virus’s spread or face severe illness, suffered historic learning loss, increased psychological distress, and decreased physical well-being.

The Biden Administration’s CDC allowed political influence from the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), which edited school reopening guidance to include measures that prolonged closures unnecessarily.

AFT, a political union rather than a scientific organization, advocated for mitigation efforts like automatic closure triggers, further delaying reopenings. Testimony revealed AFT President Randi Weingarten had direct access to CDC Director Rochelle Walensky.

The long-term effects include decades of academic progress lost, mental health crises, and a 51% increase in suicide attempts among girls aged 12-17.

A CATO Institute report similarly highlighted that the long-term closure of schools during the COVID-19 pandemic caused significant harm to children academically, mentally, and physically, with little to no impact on reducing virus transmission or child mortality.

These closures were driven more by politics than science, influenced by powerful teachers unions and their ties to Democratic politicians.

Research from Michigan State University found that decisions on in-person education in 2020 were tied more to local political partisanship and union strength than to COVID-19 severity, despite early evidence showing children were at low risk for severe illness.

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) successfully lobbied the CDC to include union-driven language in school reopening guidance.

Freedom of Information Act documents obtained by CATO confirmed the findings of the congressional report, namely that the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) successfully lobbied the CDC to include union-driven language in school reopening guidance.

Studies further demonstrated the consequences: districts with in-person learning experienced less academic loss, and remote learning disproportionately harmed older, minority, and low-income students.

The fallout from these decisions has led many families to shift to homeschooling and private education, with homeschooling rates doubling post-pandemic.

Even mainstream media outlets that supported lockdowns and other pandemic measures are now acknowledging the lack of scientific backing behind some public health guidance and the damage done to public trust in government health authorities.

The New York Times reported that during congressional hearings, top NIH officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, admitted that key aspects of early COVID-19 guidance were not based on solid science.

Fauci revealed that the six-foot social distancing rule “just sort of appeared” without supporting studies and acknowledged the virus is airborne, contradicting initial claims that it spread primarily through droplets.

According to the New York Times, officials not only promoted questionable guidance but also suppressed dissenting views, with some actively deleting emails to avoid public scrutiny.

Dr. David Morens of the NIH admitted to using his personal account to bypass oversight, writing that they avoided “smoking guns” and deleted sensitive emails.

This lack of transparency and accountability led to poor decision-making, such as closing beaches and parks unnecessarily, delaying school reopenings, and wasting millions on ineffective plexiglass barriers.

These failures, driven by obstinacy and arrogance, had significant negative impacts on Americans’ lives and undermined trust in public health leadership.

Over the past year, several diseases have been highlighted in news reports as potential sources of the next pandemic. Notably, the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified pathogens such as Ebola, Marburg, Nipah, and various coronaviruses as having significant pandemic potential.

Additionally, the emergence of a new, more virulent strain of the mpox virus (formerly known as monkeypox) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has raised concerns among health experts. Despite these concerns, none of these diseases have escalated to a global pandemic over the past year.

Because of the many lies and invasive rights violations during COVID, many people have lost trust in the NIH and CDC. The constant identification of “the next great” pandemic is increasingly falling on deaf ears. With each new cause for panic, skeptics claim victory as the previous one fails to materialize.

Scranton Finally Turns on Biden as Officials Demand Removal of His Name from Landmark

President Joe Biden has proudly referenced his roots in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on countless occasions.

But after he pardoned a judge involved in a cash-for-kids program that jailed thousands of juveniles in northeastern Pennsylvania, the Electric City is no longer feeling that spark of love.

The newly elected Pennsylvania Republican State Rep. Brenda Pugh called on officials in Scranton to remove Biden’s name from expressways labeled in his honor after he pardoned former Luzerne County Judge Michael Conahan.

That now-disgraced official was convicted after taking kickbacks in exchange for sending juveniles to jail for committing minor crimes, or committing no crime whatsoever, according to PAHomepage.

Pugh said the fact that Biden pardoned Conahan was a disgrace that merits renaming the “President Joe Biden Expressway,” originally named for the commander-in-chief by the Scranton City Council in 2021.

“Conahan’s conduct is forever a blight on Pennsylvania and is a slap in the face to the victims and their families who deserve justice to be served for his atrocious crimes,” Pugh wrote, per PAHomepage.

“His clemency places complicity and a stamp of approval on his behavior,” she continued. “Children are among the most vulnerable Pennsylvanians. This decision is nothing short of a travesty and his clemency is a miscarriage of justice.”

Pugh is far from the only Pennsylvania official to express concern over the presidential pardon.

Even Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro cringed at the pardon of the corrupt official.

“I’ll offer these thoughts as an outsider, not privy to all the information he looked at, but I do feel strongly that President Biden got it absolutely wrong and created a lot of pain here in northeastern Pennsylvania,” Shapiro said last week, per the Pennsylvania Capital-Star.

“Some children took their lives because of this. Families were torn apart,” Shapiro said of the original scandal. “There was all kinds of mental health issues and anguish that came as a result of these corrupt judges deciding they wanted to make a buck off a kid’s back.”

It is indeed rather difficult to see why Biden deserves to have any highways named in his honor.

This cash-for-kids scheme was clearly the last straw for at least some in Scranton.

But there are plenty of reasons to remove his name from that highway and other infrastructure in the city named for him.

Even beyond his mismanagement of the economy, his overseeing of several new wars around the globe, and his clear mental decline covered up by staffers over the past four years, Biden and his family are themselves likely corrupt, as their foreign business dealings in places like Ukraine and China would indicate.

Our outgoing president is no fan of justice.

Highways should simply not be named for those who have problems staying on the straight and narrow.


Given the sheer number of pardons and commutations Biden made — and his obvious cognition problems — it’s quite obvious that he didn’t know what he was signing. (So who drew up that list?) –TPR

YAWN! Blue States Bring Back Mask Mandates Ahead of ‘Quad-demic’

YAWN! Blue States Bring Back Mask Mandates Ahead of ‘Quad-demic’

By Mark Swanson    |  19 December 2024

Multiple blue states are reinstating mask mandates ahead of a surge of four viruses that some are calling a “quad-demic” — flu, COVID, RSV, and Norovirus.

According to the Daily Mail:

  • RWJBarnabas Health, New Jersey’s largest hospital system, announced Monday anyone walking through their doors needs a mask, possibly a hospital-supplied covering.
  • Several counties in San Francisco began mask mandates last month that run through April 30, 2025.
  • New York City officials last month recommended masks on public transportation.

“We know these viruses are coming. We see them increase every year,” Dr. Joe Bresee, an infectious diseases expert, told DailyMail.com. “We are in store for increases in circulation in these four over the next couple of months and that would cause what we call epidemics.”

COVID activity is “low” nationally but on the rise, with 4% infections in early November rising to 5.4% during the week of Dec. 7. Hospital admissions for flu-like respiratory illnesses jumped 14% in a two-week period through the week of Dec. 7, according to the report.

Regardless, research has shown the efficacy of masks to reduce the spread of COVID infections is largely a myth.

The Cochrane Institute published results of a study in January 2023 that found “uncertainty about the effects of face masks.” Cochrane analyzed 78 global studies involving more than 1 million people.

“The pooled results … did not show a clear reduction in respiratory viral infection with the use of medical/surgical masks. There were no clear differences between the use of medical/surgical masks compared with N95/P2 respirators in healthcare workers when used in routine care to reduce respiratory viral infection,” Cochrane’s study found.

Just my two cents. Progressives support a pill that kills babies but are against a pill that doesn’t. For some reason the fanatics on the left feel that there’s nothing wrong with the abortion pill. The baby must die according to them. What I don’t understand is this. Many who feel that way are older women and men couldn’t have babies or are no longer able to have sex to create those babies.

Maybe they see what a failure their children are, and they think that the next generation will be as bad if not worse. So can that be the reason why? Now there’s a pill out there that can reverse the procedure, and these old folks are up in arms.

The abortion pill is proving to be unsafe, and women are dying from it or suffering serious side effects. Recently a woman in Georgia died and as did the baby. So, what did the pill accomplish?

Harris’s wish to kill babies is shot down. Manchin and Sinema say not on our watch.

Harris called for the end of the legislative filibuster in the Senate during an appearance on Wisconsin Public Radio on Tuesday to codify the right to abortion and eliminate state pro-life laws, a move with massive legislative and societal repercussions extending far beyond abortion.

https://x.com/mkraju/status/1838624357116985634?ref_src=twsrctfw|twcamptweetembed|twterm1838624357116985634|twgr6113bec9662372e0b2350ae8f4b8e201fa2d4c7e|twcons1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Ft%2Fassets%2Fhtml%2Ftweet-4.html1838624357116985634

Harris’s decision to begin eliminating the legislative filibuster could set forth a cycle of continually passing and revoking significant federal legislation from Congress to Congress, depending on who holds majorities on Capitol Hill. The change would remove incentives for Congress to pass meaningful forward-thinking legislation, instead focusing on passing red meat bills it knows is likely to be reversed in short order.

Protecting Yourself from a Bully with a Badge (When You’ve Done Nothing Wrong.) Part One

Protecting Yourself from a Bully with a Badge (When You’ve Done Nothing Wrong.) Part One

First off, not every Law enforcement officer is a racist, a misogynist, a homophobe, or just a power-mad entitled dick – male OR female, and I’ll give examples later in this series. The ones who aren’t hate these other jerks as much as we do.

There’s this thing called “qualified immunity,” which the ones who are dicks, think permits them to break the law and screw civilians over — up to and including killing them — often without consequence.

If you want to see for yourself what I’m talking about, go to YouTube or TikTok and search for “bad cops.” You’ll see hundreds of items there, illustrating police/civilian encounters gone bad: from cops just being stupid to going on out-and-out vendettas. Content creators include Audit the Audit, Justice for All, DeleteLawz, KY Reacts, LackLuster/L L Media, We The People University(a former cop/sheriff deputy), The Civil Rights Lawyer, and @Detectivemattthornton (still an active duty officer) on both Tiktik and YouTube.

First of all, according to the courts Cops are ALLOWED to lie to you. They are also allowed to intimidate you through their lies and ask “fishing” questions to try to get you to incriminate yourself (Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.) Keep your hands visible at all times!

Always be polite!

As soon as you see flashing lights, check your speedometer. If you have a dash cam, make sure it’s turned on. If you also have a smartphone, START RECORDING on it. Lock all your doors. Don’t roll your window down so far that the cop can reach through and try to open the door if he/she gets frustrated.

A.)”Do you know how fast you were going?” Do NOT say ‘No.’ If you do, he can pick a number and say that’s how fast you were going — true or not.

Note: I once shut down a cop who came up and asked me that leading question by saying, “Yes, I know EXACTLY how fast I was going — the speed limit.” Of course, you can’t use that if you are speeding.

B.)”ID/DL, registration, and Proof of Insurance.” Answer,”Am I accused of a crime, Officer?” If he’s just fishing, he/she will hem and haw and say something alongs the lines of “that’s what I’m trying to find out” or “that’s what I’m  investigating.” They have nothing on you, they’re fishing. You can refuse to ID yourself under the 4th and 5th  Amendments if he can’t quote a specific crime. Mere suspicion is not a crime.”Disorderly conduct,” “obstruction” and similar “crimes” are mere deflections and lies. They cannot ask for your SSN in any case, despite what they may tell you. It is only a crime to give a FALSE name to a cop. It’s NOT a crime to refuse to provide ID.

For instance, “obstruction” in every jurisdiction I have checked so far means an active, deliberate physical act on your part.

If he/she keeps repeating this mantra, immediately ask for his/ her name and badge number and keep repeating that each time he refuses to tell you WHY he/she needs your ID, If they start getting frustrated and belligerent, change your response’ to “I want to see your Supervior/ Call your supervisor.”

C.) “Turn your phone off.” MAJOR RED FLAG!!!! They know they don’t have a good case and don’t want evidence showing their mistakes. In fact, some bad cops have been caught DELETING footage from someone else’s phone.

D.) “Do you mind if I search for your car/search you/pat you down?” before he has given a justifiable ( and actual) crime.  If you answer anything other than “I do not consent/give consent/ give permision to/for any search of myself or my property.” or “I refuse to surrender my constitutional rights under the 4th and fifth amendments.” Be careful because if your reply is IN ANY WAY ambiguous, said cop will interpret it as you consenting to what would otherwise be an unlawful search. ex “Yes ( I DO mind)” = Go ahead ; “No (you don’t have my permission)” = Go ahead.

E.) “Have any drugs or weapons in the car?” Another RED FLAG that they are fishing, trying to get you to (supposedly) incriminate yourself and/or give themselves an excuse to escalate the situation.

F.) “Step out of the car” with or without threats of arrest or physical violence if you don’t obey and without giving a valid law that he has a justifiable reason to suspect you of breaking. Immediately demand a supervisor. This is also why you should keep your doors locked, to prevent the cop from opening the door and yanking you out of your vehicle. They may break out your window despite you not threatening them in any way.

If you aren’t alone and they have a phone, call the county or state police and tell them that the LEOs at your site will not identify themselves. You are unsure if they are real officers since they cannot give a valid reason for the stop, and you are fearful for your safety. (If the cops or 911  don’t seem impressed, I suggest you contact a local TV or radio station.) Stay on the line. Give a running commentary of what’s happening. KEEP AS CALM AS POSSIBLE. If you snap back at them, corrupt (or stupid) cops will claim you’re resisting and/or being aggressive and escalate things even further.

Sex is binary. The XXY chromosome disorder appears in 1.72% of the MALE population –which makes it 0.86 of the total population. Your sex is binary.

Let’s see if I’ve got this right. Males are accused of “Toxic Masculinity.” Of trying to control women via “the patriarchy.” And — whether white or not — enjoying their “White Privilege” to oppress others. But they should treat gold-digging, entitled little princesses like royalty and cater to their every whim.

Seriously, why would any self-respecting, sane woman want to “identify” as a man?

Oh, wait, that question answers itself.

Similarly, why would a self-respecting man want to “identify” as a woman? Is it because he’s a wimp who can’t succeed against other men?

It started when over-the-hill Bobby Riggs started challenging women tennis pros to best of 3 tennis matches. Billy Jean King, who was a bit over half his age at the time, shellacked the peacock 6-4, 6-3, 6-3.

Then we have “Renee” Richards (born Richard Raskind) who, after playing tennis for years, opted to mutilate hirself so “she” could play against women.

And let’s not forget “Lia” Thomas, who went from being ranked below the 400 mark as a MALE swimmer, suddenly vaulted to #1 as a WOMAN(!) swimmer. Sorry, at 6’4″ and packing a sausage between your legs, you are not female, and should not be competing against actual biological women.

If you want to diddle someone of your own sex, go ahead — in private. Dress how you want to, but don’t get upset if someone “mis-genders” you because you look like you’re cosplaying.

I do really wonder why all these crazy people are wandering around feeling entitled to insult and harass people who would happily mind their own business if these nut cases would just leave everyone else alone! Note that Karens/Kevins suffer from similar mental disorders of entitled-ness and delusions.

Seriously, who in their right mind would show signs saying “Queers for Hamas” when they would be killed on sight (if they were lucky) or tortured, killed, and paraded around like a hunting trophy while they spit the corpse (if not)—if actually living in Gaza.

Ah yes, the question again answers itself.

I have one rule in dealing with people: you respect me and my friends, and I’ll respect you. Disrespect me, and I’ll give you a chance to apologize; if you insist on continuing, there will be trouble.

Oh yes, that 1.72% with abnormal chromosomes? They are biologically male.

There are only two sexes/genders in reality. Get over it.

The “Right Man” And The Fear Of Losing Face in Politics

The “Right Man” And The Fear Of Losing Face in Politics

RE: Biden, Pelosi, Jack Smith, Engoron, Letitia James, et al.

Biden joins an elite class.

These excerpts are from Colin Wilson‘s A Criminal History Of Mankind (1984).

Here Wilson discusses the interesting psychological concept of the “Right Man”, which might in other uses also be called the “Dominant Male” or the “Alpha Male”, though we are, of course, speaking here about the negative extremes in behaviour of this human type, not just ordinary dominance or leadership.

The “Right Men” can be domestic household tyrants terrorizing their families but they can be found in all fields of life: in business, politics, art, culture. Everyone must have encountered one: a dominating boss, school headmaster or teacher, army officer, father, son, boyfriend, bully.

Essential here is that the “Right Man” must always have his way and is afraid of losing face above all (“How dare you talk to me this way?”): anything that might be an indication of his infallibility or erroneous ways, something that he can never admit.

And if things don’t exactly go his way, he may scare people into submission by breaking into outbursts of rage or downright violence. He may demand absolute faithfulness from his woman but “play around” himself, since as a God-like “Right Man” this is his divine prerogative (he thinks). Colin Wilson also points out that there are “Right Women” too, so this is not exclusively male behaviour.

“The notion of ‘losing face’ suggests an interesting alternative line of thought. It is obviously connected, for example, with the cruelty of Himmler and Stalin when their absolute authority was questioned. They were both men with a touchy sense of self-esteem, so that their response to any suspected insult was vindictive rage. (Sound familiar? — TPR) Another characteristic of both men was a conviction they they were always right, and a total inability to admit that they might ever be wrong.”

“Himmlers and Stalins are, fortunately, rare; but the type is surprisingly common. The credit for recognising this goes to A.E. Van Vogt who is also the author of a number of brilliant psychological studies. Van Vogt’s concept of the ‘Right Man’ or ‘violent man’ is so important to the understanding of criminality that it deserves to be considered at length…”

[…]

“In 1954, Van Vogt began work on a war novel called The Violent Man, which was set in a Chinese prison camp. The commandant of the camp is one of those savagely authoritarian figures who would instantly, and without hesitation, order the execution of anyone who challenges his authority. Van Vogt was creating the type from observation of men like Hitler and Stalin. And, as he thought about the murderous behaviour of the commandant, he found himself wondering: ‘What could motivate a man like that?’ Why is it that some men believe that anyone who contradicts them is either dishonest or downright wicked? Do they really believe, in their heart of hearts, that they are gods who are incapable of being fallible? If so are, are they in some sense insane, like a man who thinks he is Julius Caesar?”

Looking around for examples, it struck Van Vogt that male authoritarian behaviour is far too commonplace to be regarded as insanity. […] [For example,] marriage seems to bring out the ‘authoritarian’ personality in many males, according to Van Vogt’s observation.”

[…]

“… ‘the violent man’ or the ‘Right Man’ […] is a man driven by a manic need for self-esteem — to feel he is a ‘somebody’. He is obsessed by the question of ‘losing face’, so will never, under any circumstances, admit that he might be in the wrong.”

[…]

“Equally interesting is the wild, insane jealousy. Most of us are subject to jealousy, since the notion that someone we care about prefers someone else is an assault on our amour propre. But the Right Man, whose self-esteem is like a constantly festering sore spot, fliers into a frenzy at the thought, and becomes capable of murder.”

“Van Vogt points out that the Right Man is an ‘idealist’ — that is, he lives in his own mental world and does his best to ignore aspects of reality that conflict with it. Like the Communists’ rewriting of history, reality can always be ‘adjusted’ later to fit his glorified picture of himself. In his mental world, women are delightful, adoring, faithful creatures who wait patiently for the right man — in both senses of the word — before they surrender their virginity. He is living in a world of adolescent fantasy. No doubt there was something gentle and submissive about the nurse that made her seem the ideal person to bolster his self-esteem, the permanent wife and mother who is waiting in a clean apron when he get back from a weekend with mistress…”

“Perhaps Van Vogt’s most intriguing insight into the Right Man was his discovery that he can be destroyed if ‘the worm turns’ — that is, if his wife or some dependant leaves him. Under such circumstances, he may beg and plead, promising to behave better in the future. If that fails, there may be alcoholism, drug addiction, even suicide. She has kicked out the foundations of his sandcastle. For when a Right Man finds a woman who seems submissive and admiring, it deepens his self-confidence, fills him with a sense of his own worth. (We can see the mechanism in operation with Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.) No matter how badly he treats her, he has to keep on believing that, in the last analysis, she recognises him as the most remarkable man she will ever meet. She is the guarantee of his ‘primacy’, his uniqueness; now it doesn’t matter what the rest of the world thinks. He may desert her and his children; that only proves how ‘strong’ he is, how indifferent to the usual sentimentality. But if she deserts him, he has been pushed back to square one: the helpless child in a hostile universe. ‘Most violent men are failures’, says Van Vogt; so to desert them is to hand them over to their own worst suspicions about themselves. It is this recognition that leads Van Vogt to write: ‘Realise that most Right Men deserve some sympathy, for they are struggling with an unbelievable inner horror; however, if they give way to the impulse to hit or choke, they are losing the battle, are on the the way to the ultimate disaster… of their subjective universe of self-justification.”

“And what happens when the Right Man is not a failure, when his ‘uniqueness’ is acknowledged by the world? Oddly enough, it makes little or no difference. His problem is lack of emotional control and a deep-seated sense of inferiority; so success cannot reach the parts of the mind that are the root of the problem.”

[…]

“The Right Man hates losing face; if he suspects that his threats are not being taken seriously, he is capable of carrying them out, purely for the sake of appearances.”

“Van Vogt makes the basic observation that the central characteristic of the Right Man is the ‘decision to be out of control, in some particular area’. We all have to learn self-control to deal with the real world and other people. But with some particular person — a mother, a wife, a child — we may decide that this effort is not necessary and allow ourselves to explode. But — and here we come to the very heart of the matter — this decision creates, so to speak, a permanent weakpoint in the boiler, the point at which it always bursts.”

[…]

“He feels he [is] justified in exploding, like an angry god. […] he feels he is inflicting just punishment.”

What is so interesting here is the way the Right Man’s violent emotion reinforces his sense of being justified, and his sense of justification increases his rage. He is locked into a kind of vicious spiral, and he cannot escape until he has spent his fury. […] The Right Man feels that his rage is a storm that has to be allowed to blow itself out, no matter what damage it causes. But this also means that he is the slave of an impulse he cannot control; his property, even the lives of those that he loves, are at the mercy of his emotions. This is part of the ‘unbelievable inner horror’ that Van Vogt talks about.”

[…]

“This is ‘magical thinking’ — allowing a desire or emotion to convince you of something your reason tells you to be untrue. […] Magical thinking provides a key to the Right Man.”

“What causes ‘right mannishness’? Van Vogt suggest that it is because the world has always been dominated by males.”

[…]

“But then, this explanation implies that there is no such thing as a Right Woman—in fact, Van Vogt says as much. This is untrue.” […] The central characteristic of the Right Woman is the same as that of the Right Man: that she is convinced that having her own way is a law of nature and that anyone who opposes this deserves the harshest possible treatment. It is the god (or goddess) syndrome.”

[…]

“… the one thing that becomes obvious in all cases of Right Men is that their attacks are not somehow inevitable’; some of their worst misdemeanours are carefully planned and calculated, and determinedly carried out. The Right Man does these things because he thinks they will help him to achieve his own way, which is what interests him.”

“And this in turn makes it plain that the Right Man problem is a problem of highly dominant people. Dominance is a subject of enormous interest to biologists and zoologists because the percentage of dominant animals — or human beings — seems to be amazingly constant. […] biological studies have confirmed [… that …] for some odd reason, precisely five per cent — one in twenty — of any animal group are dominant — have leadership qualities.”

[…]

“The ‘average’ member of the dominant five per cent sees no reason why he should not be rich and famous too. He experiences anger and frustration at his lack of ‘primacy’, and is willing to consider unorthodox methods of elbowing his way to the fore. This clearly explains a great deal about the rising levels of crime and violence in our society.”

[…]

“We can also see how large numbers of these dominant individuals develop into ‘Right Men’. In every school with five hundred pupils there are about twnety-five dominant ones struggling for primacy. Some of these have natural advantages: they are good athletes, good scholars, good debaters. (And there are, of course plenty of non-dominant pupils who are gifted enough to carry away some of the prizes.) Inevitably, a percentage of the dominant pupils have no particular talent or gift; some may be downright stupid. How is such a person to satisfy his urge to primacy? He will, inevitably, choose to express his dominance in any ways that are possible. If he has good looks or charm, he may be satisfied with the admiration of female pupils. If he has some specific talent which is not regarded as important by his schoolmasters — a good ear for music, a natural gift of observation, a vivid imagination — he may become a lonely ‘outsider’, living in his own private world. (Such individuals may develop into Schuberts, Darwins, Balzacs.) But it is just as likely that he will try to take short-cuts to prominence and become a bully, a cheat or a delinquent.”

“The main problem of these ungifted ‘outsiders’ is that they are bound to feel that the world has treated them unfairly. And the normal human reaction to a sense of unfairness is an upsurge of self-pity. Self-pity and the sense of injustice make them vulnerable and unstable. And we have only to observe such people to see that they are usually their own worst enemies. Their moods alternate between aggressiveness and sulkiness, both of which alienate those who might otherwise be glad to help them. If they possess some degree of charm or intelligence, they may succeed in making themselves acceptable to other people; but sooner or later the resentment and self-pity break through, and lead to mistrust and rejection.”

“The very essence of their problem is the question of self-discipline. Dominant human beings are more impatient than others, because they have more vital energy.

“When the Right Man explodes into violence, all the energy is wasted. Worse still, it destroys the banks of the canal.

A real stress breaker. NYPD Dance team. The team isn’t an official part of the department, but that didn’t stop the plenty of reactions dunking on the dancing itself. When I saw this, I had to agree with a person on X who said something about defunding the police.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) defended the New York Police Department’s (NYPD) dance crew after a viral video of the team performing last week sparked online criticism.

“This team SERVES and protects! Honored to join the NYPD Dance team at City Hall. I think it’s so important that our women and men in uniform have outlets like this to express themselves and bond. They work hard on the clock and dance hard off the clock — like true New Yorkers,” Adams wrote Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter.
