According to NPR, “Democrats have scored a major off-year election victory in Wisconsin, winning the state’s open supreme court seat and flipping control of the court to liberals for the first time in 15 years. Milwaukee County Judge Janet Protasiewicz won the hotly contested race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, according to a race call[ed] by The Associated Press, defeating former state Supreme Court Justice Dan Kelly. Spending in the campaign shattered the previous national record for a state supreme court election.” And to be clear, the margin of victory is considered a landslide (>10 bps).

A Protasiewicz win was a somewhat foregone conclusion, given the results of last month’s primary election that led to yesterday’s runoff. Protasiewicz’s margin of victory over Kelly last month suggested that a re-match would be a win for her, but, of course, it is never certain until the final vote is counted. Nonetheless, flipping the Wisconsin Supreme Court from a conservative to a liberal majority is a huge victory and portends that maybe — just maybe — the scourge of conservativism may be reversed in this pivotal swing state. The consequences of this election are particularly significant. Beyond women now being on track to get their right to abortive healthcare back, the heavily RepubliKKKlan gerrymandered election map can be scrapped, which means Democrats have a chance to pick up seats in the U.S. House and in state chambers. The political field will become level after 15+ years of being dominated by RepubliKKKlan illegitimately. Not to mention the Wisconsin Supreme Court controlled by liberals will ensure the results of the next presidential election be honored.

Although I am a long way from saying Democrats are getting their groove back when it comes to winning elections and voters are starting to pay attention to politics in a manner that they need to be to save America’s democracy, this election result undoubtedly is encouraging. Hard to end this post with “welcome to stupid America.” Indeed, all this winning endangers my brand, but one must still question how this election result squares with a state that re-elected Ron Johnson.

Traitor trump has been indicted! I am shocked; I didn’t think it would happen at any level or in any jurisdiction. America has a long history of not holding its politicians, especially presidents, accountable. Yet, we are a long, long way from a conviction, and about that, I remain steadfast — it will never happen. The First Axiom will hold. I doubt any jury is willing enough to put their lives on the line to convict the traitor. And that brings me to my next point. Civil war is soon to be upon us.

Right on cue, every — and I mean every — RepubliKKKlan politician stands by traitor trump. And watch his poll numbers shoot up as a result! Because I live in stupid f***ing hell! No matter how bad, no matter what, they love him. They don’t care if he destroys the country, for, in fact, they really want the country to burn so they can rebuild it in their theocratic ideal. I say bring it! It is time for the actual majority (Democrats and Democratic-leaning citizens) to vanquish the minority. It is time to wipe the country clean of the conservative scum. They are more the enemy today than ever. Death to the enemy.

According to Huff Post, “Idaho already has some of the most extreme abortion restrictions on the books, with nearly all abortions banned in the state and an affirmative defense law that essentially asserts any doctor who provides an abortion is guilty until proven innocent. And now Idaho Republicans have set their sights on hindering certain residents from traveling out of state to get an abortion. … Since the bill would criminalize anyone transporting a pregnant minor within the state to get an abortion or to obtain medication abortion, it could apply to an aunt who drives a pregnant minor to the post office to pick up a package that includes abortion pills. Or it could target an older sibling who drives a pregnant minor to a friend’s house to self-manage an abortion at home. Either violation would carry a minimum sentence of two years in prison. … ‘This is the first of what will probably be many states that pass provisions like this because it does seem to be something that the movement wants, at least for minors. Whether they expand it to adults, too, we will see,’ Cohen said. ‘But at least for minors, this seems to be part of the blueprint. And Idaho is now the first state that’s putting it into reality.’”

Here’s another thing I f***ing nailed! I predicted this soon after the Dobbs opinion dropped. What did I say would be next? Restricting people’s travel to other states to get an abortion. (See First Abortion, Then Freedom of Movement.) Now, to be clear, the Idaho law doesn’t explicitly forbid persons crossing the border to seek an abortion, but the language of the bill effectively criminalizes doing so. It is a distinction without a difference. But this is just the first draft of such legislation. Soon other red states will begin to pile on and try to outdo each other. I said mark my words before, and I will say it again. But this is what people wanted. This is what people voted for in Idaho and nationally. This is what happens when the dumbest country on the planet elected the dumbest person on the planet to be president. Oh, well. It’s only going to get worst. Welcome to stupid America. I live in stupid hell!

According to The Hill, “A new study of human intelligence posits a narrative that may surprise the general public: American IQs rose dramatically over the past century, and now they seem to be falling. Cognitive abilities declined between 2006 and 2018 across three of four broad domains of intelligence, the study found. Researchers tracked falling scores in logic, vocabulary, visual and mathematical problem-solving and analogies, the latter category familiar to anyone who took the old SAT.”

Ya know, I was starting to lose faith in my website. Even though my writing is more therapy for myself than it is trying to justify its existence to others, I have felt at times I sounded like a broken record, banging my head against a wall as a frustrated above-average person in an increasingly dumber country. Part of the reason I gave this website its name is that I could not help but feel America really is becoming a dumber place, and as it turns out, I was right. Go figure. Welcome to stupid America!

According to CNN, “The U.S. decision to fly its surveillance drones further south over the Black Sea after a Russian jet collided with a U.S. drone earlier this month ‘limits our ability to gather intelligence’ related to the Ukraine war, a senior U.S. military official tells CNN. Flying drones at greater distances reduces the quality of intelligence they can gather, a U.S. military official explained, noting that spy satellites can compensate to some degree but have shorter times over targets, again reducing effectiveness relative to surveillance drones.”

So, let me see if I understand this correctly. Russia forces down one of our intelligence drones while flying in international waters, and Biden decides to back down because we’ve offended Russia. Un-f***ing-believable. Once again, America proves itself to be weak. It would be one thing if we changed our intelligence-gathering procedures while not losing any capabilities. But our military has conceded that’s not what is happening. To avoid upsetting Putin, we are sacrificing our intelligence acumen. Moreover, these changes are also at the expense of Ukraine, which just reinforces my continuing belief that Biden and the U.S. really have no interest in helping Ukraine win the war. Instead, they’re more interested in helping Ukraine simply not lose as Biden provides military help one drip at a time. What a f***ing disaster. Biden is kinda on my sh*t list again because he’s demonstrating weaknesses. Other NATO nations are doing more to help Ukraine. What a f***ing joke. Welcome to stupid America!

I have been somewhat reticent these past several weeks because commenting on current events just makes me sound like a broken record, for America is in a dire state, and nothing changes. Traitor trump is as popular as ever, holding insurrectionist support rallies. States continue to strip women of rights over their bodies. States continue to marginalize and target the LGBTQ community. The nation continues to lurch toward fascism, apparently with the welcoming embrace of RepubliKKKlans. And SCOTUS continues to rule against the will of the majority of Americans. Indeed, the federal government at large continues to fail to do the will of the people — mostly because dumbass Democrats are too weak to stand up to fascists, and idiot voters continue to elect RepubliKKKlans, who wish to destroy America.

So, what is the remedy? How do we fix this nation and put it back on track when the government refuses to enact the will of the people? How do we break the stranglehold of state and federal governments that rule over the majority (Democrats) in the name of “protecting” the minority (RepubliKKKlans)? How do we end the ridiculous one-sided culture war that pits the majority against the minority? There is only one way: Civil war. I’ve said this before, many times. I’ve noted in other posts that’s where we’re headed, but I don’t think I’ve explicitly called for it. Maybe I have. Indeed, now I am doing so openly and plainly. The majority of Americans need to rise up against the minority. It is misguided to call for a revolution because that implies rebelling against a rogue government — which is undoubtedly no less accurate — but the real enemies of the state are our fellow citizens (i.e., RepubliKKKlans). Thus, the enemy is deeply embedded within and not confined merely to state and federal governments. Sadly, it is the only way. America has reached irreconcilable differences. I, for one, am done willing to be friendly to and understanding of RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks. Indeed, they must all be killed, for they are a disease in this nation and killing all of us. They! Are! The! Enemy! I’ll have more to say on this subject, but suffice it to say, arm up, Democrats! It is time to force the issue. War is upon us!

Look, f***tards! This is what a dying country looks like! How many f*** times must I repeat myself before people understand? I will concede the preemptive rallies of traitor trump supporters have been pathetic. Indeed, far more sparse than I had expected. Although I did not expect January 6-sized crowds, what has actually materialized — a few dozen protestors at most in NY and Mar-a-Lago — has been shocking. But I do not apprehend these meager gatherings as thoroughly instructive, for traitor trump has not actually been indicted yet. Once that happens, everything is off the table. Lord knows what will happen. Probably the death and destruction traitor trump is calling for. To be clear, his hardcore followers are rabid, intense, unhinged from reality, and committed. We don’t need the 10,000s of protestors on January 6 to cause mayhem. You just need a few wackos hitting any soft target. Welcome to stupid America. We never learn — ever!

According to DW, “Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, on Thursday passed legislation that would significantly limit the conditions under which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could be deemed unfit to govern. The law — the first of several set to overhaul the judiciary — is believed to be intended to stop the Supreme Court or the Attorney General’s Office from influencing possible impeachment. The legislation stipulates that a three-quarters majority in parliament or the Cabinet would be needed to remove a prime minister from office — and only for psychological or other health reasons … The terms of the new law — which could still face a legal challenge — preclude this, instead providing the government with guidance about what to do in the event of a non-functioning prime minister [emphasis added].”

Of course, this last sentence is rather rich because the ultimate intention of the remaining bills to be passed is precisely to limit any judiciary rulings on legislative matters. The catch-22 is intentional. So, in short, the criminal Netanyahu has just made himself a dictator for life because notice the only reasons he can be removed from office: Psychological or other health reasons. Who is to say he just ignores the next general election and stays in office? Kinda sound familiar? The only reason traitor trump had to leave the White House is that the American Constitution sets the date and time his term expires. Israel does not have a Constitution. Next, Israel will pass the Enabling Act so he can bypass the Knesset altogether. Look, f***tards! How many times must I say it? How much evidence must I offer? Democracy is dying worldwide. It seems humanity — in all its stupid glory — has become too lazy, too apathetic, too f***tarded to care about self-government, so they have given up by electing dictators. What does it say for the rest of the world when the only democracy in the Middle East becomes extinct? Oh, well. Welcome to stupid humanity. It’s going to get worse. Mark my words!

Is this even worth writing about? I’ve been watching the MSM and the twit machine fall all over themselves, breathlessly counting down the days until Tuesday — the self-proclaimed day traitor trump wants to be arrested. What a f***ing joke of a spectacle this has been, and the MSM is the worst culprit in amplifying a traitor trump — wait for it, wait for it — lie! As usual, traitor trump “Truths” something, and the MSM takes it as gospel. He put out his statement on Saturday morning, and for the entire weekend, the MSM reported it as fact; even the liberal f***tards on the twit machine bought into it. Not until Monday had it begun to dawn on people that maybe what traitor trump said was completely fabricated, pulling a day out of his ass just to stir up controversy. Right on cue, the MSM bought into it because this is what a stupid f***ing country looks like, and this is why traitor trump ain’t going nowhere. The MSM doesn’t want him gone; they love him and can’t quit him. To this day, the MSM is still trying to divine the indictment date. Christ! I can’t deal with the stupidity anymore. It comes when it comes — if it comes at all. I remain unconvinced. I’ll admit if I’m wrong, but I need to actually see it to believe it. I’m still waiting for the Mueller report to end traitor trumps presidency as the MSM predicted for two years. Welcome to stupid America!

According to The Texas Tribune, “A Texas man is suing three women under the wrongful death statute, alleging that they assisted his ex-wife in terminating her pregnancy, the first such case brought since the state’s near-total ban on abortion last summer. Marcus Silva is represented by Jonathan Mitchell, the former Texas solicitor general and architect of the state’s prohibition on abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, and state Rep. Briscoe Cain, R-Deer Park. The lawsuit is filed in state court in Galveston County, where Silva lives. Silva alleges that his now ex-wife learned she was pregnant in July 2022, the month after the overturn of Roe v. Wade, and conspired with two friends to illegally obtain abortion-inducing medication and terminate the pregnancy. … ‘But this is going to cause such fear and chilling that it doesn’t matter whether [Mitchell] is right,’ Grossman said. ‘Who is going to want to help a friend find an abortion if there is some chance that their text messages are going to end up in the news? And maybe they’re going to get sued, and maybe they’re going to get arrested, and it’s going to get dropped eventually, but in the meantime, they will have been terrified.’”

This last sentence is the whole point of the lawsuit. It is the tort version of the criminal vigilante law over abortion. But this is what people wanted; this is what they voted for when they keep electing RepubliKKKlans into state and local offices. These people can’t have it all ways. They can’t elect RepubliKKKlans because they hate big government and expect big government not to start micro-managing individuals’ lives and bodies. Oh, well. Texans get the government they deserve and desire. Welcome to stupid America!
