Blue or Pink

According to the Smithsonian, the color coding of Blue=Boy and Pink=Girl was not formalized culturally until 1940's America and prior to that time the color/gender combination was reversed. An important point to remember when contemplating the past or prognosticating on the future.
In researching and writing her book, Paoletti says, she kept thinking about the parents of children who don’t conform to gender roles: Should they dress their children to conform, or allow them to express themselves in their dress? “One thing I can say now is that I’m not real keen on the gender binary—the idea that you have very masculine and very feminine things. The loss of neutral clothing is something that people should think more about. And there is a growing demand for neutral clothing for babies and toddlers now, too.”
“There is a whole community out there of parents and kids who are struggling with ‘My son really doesn’t want to wear boy clothes, prefers to wear girl clothes.’ ” She hopes one audience for her book will be people who study gender clinically. The fashion world may have divided children into pink and blue, but in the world of real individuals, not all is black and white.
I don't "study gender clinically" but I have done the laundry and washed, dried and folded my wife's clothes. Try it. You're folding these flimsy little bras and panties, silky blouses, blue jeans that have pocket slits BUT NO POCKETs and the notion explodes in your mind, "Jesus, could you imagine having to wear this crap? - Men and women are nothing alike." You're not "real keen on the gender binary" then you need to walk a mile in my shoes, pants and shirt and see what it's like to have a deep pocket on your person - because you don't. And don't ask me to walk a mile in your pantsuit because I would never be able to fit into it.

"The Future is Female... as I've said before, I'll say again"


There are winners and there are losers. Sometimes losing is just a prologue to winning and sometimes winning is just a prologue to losing. But the immediate future, the one we'll be living through for the next 4 years is decidedly male and I've said it before but I'll say it all again - HRC is a horrible politician and should exit into a deep dark hole forever and ever for the good of her party, our country and the world. It is a terrifying prospect, but this 30 second spot almost looks like HRC is jumping into the 2020 presidential race.

The future is neither male or female - it is either human or machine. The female is being displaced by Siri,  sex robots and the artificial womb and these women are worried about "shattering the glass ceiling" at the very moment that the thin ice they're standing on is cracking all around them. Are they insane? Are they oblivious to the peril their entire gender is living under today and the bleak future these existing technologies foretell for a future WITHOUT women? Women have three unique qualities that men don't have, and will never have at a female level of excellence, which make women critically important to men:
  • Multi-tasking and scheduling
  • Sex
  • Childbirth
But what if men create machines that do all three BETTER than the female of the species? Get serious ladies - I'm on your side, but you better get your mind right and start focusing on the real problem while you're still here.

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view

Psycho Killer, qu'est-ce?

I came into this wicked world in the early 1960's and as a result I have born witness to America's 50 Years of Failure which includes the modern age of mass shootings by psychotic men who "go off" on a given day, for no reason at all (except "guns"), and kill scads of innocent bystanders. Back in August of 2019 a KOTCB blog post titled " Reciprocity City " explored a young  gunman  named Patrick Crusius  who drove 9 hours through the west Texas flatlands to shoot up El Paso, TX The KOTCB has commented on many of these shootings, bombings and knifings over the years -  The roots of the Boston Marathon Bombing ,  the Emanuel AME Church shooting ,  Syed Rizvan Farook and his bride Tashfeen Malik ,  Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooting ,  Nick Cruz lovesick Parkland shooting ,  the Iranian, PETA activist, Vegan Bodybuilder, YouTuber's attack on Google  and now this very oddly timed and placed "lone wolf" attack on Walmart shoppers. This list

Who voted for this guy?

Who voted for this guy? It's been ten days since the results of the Maricopa County, Arizona ballot audit were released to the public and presented at a hearing held by the state senate. This exercise in democratic accountability had been going on for months and, if reports are to be believed, was completed well over a  month before the September 24th hearing where   overwhelming proof of an illegitimate election was presented to lawmakers . The audit showed multiple irregularities, fake ballots, duplicate counts, errors, omissions and egregious acts of sabotage and obstinance by the Maricopa County board of supervisors who did everything they could to withhold and destroy evidence of wrongdoing from the citizen sleuths. The misfeasance of Arizona's political leaders was clearly defined, shocking and (for some) beyond belief but somehow these facts were discovered, organized, packaged and suppressed for MONTHS by the Cyber Ninjas who were attempting to "get to the bottom&q
