If you prick me, do I not bleed? Then what am I, a Jew, a woman, or just a confused transvestite?

Tampax embarks on gender-bending mission

Fact: Not all women have periods.

True - pre-pubescent girls, women past menopause come to mind.

Also a fact: Not all people with periods are women.

Not all people with a uterus who go through the menstruation cycle each month admit to being a woman. Not all persons with 100% Caucasian genes admit to being white and identify themselves as blacks, or Martians, or large, ferocious Great Danes instead. This delusion does not make them black, or Martian, or a member of the canine family.

Let's celebrate the diversity of all people who bleed!

So, no more women, just "bleeders”? Does that include Martians, or Great Danes, or NFL linebackers who cut themselves shaving?

Asking for a friend.

So who were the Nazis, and what did they stand for?

All explained by Emery Jones over at American Thinker (don’t bother, Rover, it’s not for mouth-breathers)

Biden finally pulled the Nazi card when describing President Trump.  

Sadly, this has become common throughout both the mainstream and social media. With both sides calling the other Nazis, it might be a good time to ask some fundamental questions:  Who were the Nazis, and what do they stand for?  Few people can answer that correctly, despite their strong emotional attachment painting their political foes as such.

To understand the Nazis accurately, you have to read their own quotes and propaganda. The story told by the Nazis themselves depicts a very different party than what modern journalists would like us to believe. The Nazi (National Socialist German Workers Party) or National Socialists as they called themselves, had the following five key characteristics:

  1. The Nazis were a self-proclaimed socialist movement that called for the end of capitalism, abolishment of non-labor income (interest and finance), and proposed an all-powerful central authority to regulate the market

  2. Racial identity politics was used to identify an oppressor class (Jews), that embodied both the evil nature of capitalism and the anti-German nature of communism

  3. Strong nationalistic pride was a core pitch to the people to justify a stronger central authority

  4. The party used militant radical socialist activists to harass businesses and political enemies with acts of violence  

  5. Limitations on free speech and removing access to dissenting views

Four out of five of points will be familar with anyone who follows the writings of our modern academics, mainstream media’s Democratic scribes, and college/Antifa screamfests.

Jones follows with a full discussion, with footnotes. Here’s the backup on Point 1:

[Biden’s favorite Nazi] Joseph Goebbels could not have been more clear on this topic:

We are not a charitable institution but a Party of revolutionary socialists. [1]We are a workers’ party because we see in the coming battle between finance and labor the beginning and the end of the structure of the twentieth century. We are on the side of labor and against finance. . . The value of labor under socialism will be determined by its value to the state, to the whole community. Labor means creating value, not haggling over things.[2]The money pigs of capitalist democracy… Money has made slaves of us… Money is the curse of mankind. It smothers the seed of everything great and good. Every penny is sticky with sweat and blood. [3]




Funny, our press isn't reporting this

This chart from the Financial Times provides an interesting counterpart to our own vountry’s Coronaporn coverage of Sweden.

Current (as of October 23) Covid death rates here. The article makes it clear that, due to different countries’ testing and death classifications, these numbers aren’t rock-solid,apples-to-apples comparisons, but they’re illustrative nonetheless.

Reality trumps aspirations, and a contract is born

birchwood.jpg

37 Birchwood Drive, asking $3.245 million, has a contract. It’s been on-and-off, mostly on, the market for nine years, so I’m sure the owners are relieved that a buyer has finally appeared.

I remember touring it back in 2011 and thought it was a good house, but not a $5.2 house; it’s taken the owners a terribly long time to reach that same conclusion.

Pending in Old Greenwich

tod's driftway.jpg

6 Tod’s Driftway, $9.950 million. It was originally listed at $10.5 in June, but this is close enough, I imagine. Personally, if I had this kind of money I’d prefer to live on the water here rather than in, say, a New York co-op. If nothing else, Greenwich has a far more vibrant and varied dining scene these days than New York does currently, or may ever have again, and the beaches are better.

And there should be excellent striped bass fishing right from shore, which you definitely can’t do from a co-op’s patio.

I do wonder, however, whether what looks like submerged breakwaters once marked dry land boundaries of this property. Erosion will do that.

Riverside contract reported

cedar cliff.jpg

132 Cedar Cliff Road, $3.849 million, placed on the market in June. A lot has been done to this 1879 home since its then-owner, out of cash, had to sell it for $1.2 million in 1987. I like it very much then, even in its run-down state, but it’s far nicer now.

Of interest, perhaps, is that the previous owners priced it at $5.2 million in 2011 before finally selling it in 2014 to the current owners for $3.525. $3.849 was obviously a better starting price.

One newspaper endorses a young black Republican for senator, two others endorse septuagenarian presidential candidate. Guess which endorsement Twitter slaps a warning label on?

Oh, you must have peeked. The Detroit News endorsed John James over the incumbent Democrat, The NYT and WaPo — surprise! — endorsed Biden over Trump. Twitter responded immediately.
