Not sure how this post will be taken but here it goes.

I agree that society had some issues with equality and access in the past and like the idea of fixing those issues, people should be able to be whatever without being ostracized or whatever.

At the same time we have way overcorrected. People who are different shouldn’t be told or promoted that they aren’t different, different is fine, but it’s still different. Society is so soft today and we are teaching people that they should want to be different and celebrate that which isn’t a good thing.

Basically what I’m saying is IMO society needs to get to a point that it’s fine to be different, live your life and be yourself, at the same time people should know that choosing to be different means certain things will be harder for you and some people might judge you, if you’re okay with that, go for it.

I dont care who you want to have sex with I dont care who you want to pretend to be you are free to be as weird as you want. The problem is when you tell me I have to play pretend with you or I have to accept who you want to have sex with

embracing change

Completely non descriptive, like Obama's slogan, Hope and Change. It means whatever the reader wants it to mean, which is the problem with living Constitution idiots.

We have made societal issues worse by trying to fix them with government.

It dont work.


Until you can have a society full of people who can self manage, youre going to deal with societal issues. Your best bet is to let shitty bloodlines die out.

Fentanyl is doing its part, evidently.

A productive, resilient, civil, and peaceful society was and can only be based upon family and community.

Even with the idea of a nuclear family being a recent phenomenon based upon the peaceful times we lived in but extended family is still family in that is a community.

govt $ destroyed the black family,

Replace the current system with a new program. Free home , those seized from the the illegals That way we can still keep our nice neighborhoods to couples, married for 8 years avoid the 7th year curse

call it reparation since they bitch about the breaking up of slave families

plus politically its a vote getter

Simple solution: TEXIT

Let the liberal progressives have their transgender/gay factions, their foreign invader fraud schemes, their abortion, their DEI Woke "societal change" and their democracy AND their Moral Relativism. .

Let us Conservatives have our Constitutional Republic Free Market Capitalism guided by Judeo-Christian rules of behavior.

Fair enough?

His post was pretty confusing, but I think he was referring to transgenderism.

To the extent I can understand what he's saying, I agree with him that transgenderism is absurd.

Not so much lately thanks to YOUR president.

The current trend in fentanyl-related deaths in the United States is downward — and the decline has been historically large over the last year


Oh, and really good to see you back! I enjoy your posts and was worried you croaked.

Which one?

The findings also suggest that international chemical precursor regulation and drug production controls played a decisive role in saving tens of thousands of lives. Beginning in mid-2023, provisional mortality data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed a major decline in opioid overdose deaths in the U.S. By late 2024, annual overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids had fallen nearly a third.


All this means is that there will be new synthetics on the market soon to replace Fentanyl.

I see


MAGA blames Joe Biden for all the inflation, and now takes credit for the Fentanyl death drop under Bidens administration.

Very impressive cult
