According to Axios, “A North Carolina school district said Friday it plans to put AR-15 guns in every school in the event of a future mass shooting. … The Madison County school system in North Carolina plans to put AR-15 rifles in special safes in every school throughout the county, the Asheville Citizen-Times reports. Sheriff Buddy Harwood said the rifles will allow schools and police officers to quickly defend themselves against school shootings.” So, let me see if I understand this idea correctly. Dozens of police officers armed with AR-15s (or the like) failed to stop a massacre at Uvalde. Still, somehow this North Carolina school district thinks some marginally trained principal, teacher, or janitor will stand up to what will most likely be a much more heavily armed shooter. Un-f***ing-believable! I can’t. I just f***ing can’t anymore.

This is what a stupid country looks like. This is what a country bent on self-destruction looks like. This is what a country complicit and indifferent to innocent murder looks like. This is what a country with a culture of death and guns looks like. Instead of tackling the real problem of military-style weapons being legal and rampant throughout the states, America would rather exacerbate the problem by doing nothing except keep said weapons on school premises. The stupid hurts. America is not long for this world, for a nation this stupid cannot survive. Welcome to stupid America — dead country walking! Truly!

First with AIDS. Second with COVID. From Scientific American, “In describing the U.S. response to monkeypox, ‘the main adjective that comes to mind is sluggish,’ says Monica Gandhi, a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine. … Activists in the gay community say they have been extremely frustrated by the slow response. ‘We lost weeks and weeks because we weren’t routinely screening for people with monkeypox,’ says James Krellenstein, co-founder and managing director for strategy and policy at PrEP4All, an organization working to increase access to HIV medication. ‘I view this from a pandemic preparedness perspective as our first real trial run since SARS-CoV-2, and we’re flunking.’”

You see what the real issue is here, yes? Because this disease is primarily contained within the gay community, there is no sense of urgency. You know, like when AIDS first hit America. It was just easier to ignore the gays and let them die. It is somewhat incomprehensible that Biden is the head of this government’s delayed reaction. It only goes to show the LGBTQ community is always expendable. Now, I realize monkeypox is not like AIDS, nor is it like COVID. Of course, this is true until it’s not. You may be thinking that monkeypox is not lethal. Wrong! According to Nature, “So far this year, there have been more than 3,000 confirmed monkeypox cases in countries beyond Central and West Africa, but no deaths have been reported. In Africa, however, health officials have reported more than 70 deaths that they suspect were caused by monkeypox. This is probably an undercount because of limited testing and surveillance capacity, says Dimie Ogoina, an infectious-disease physician at Niger Delta University in Amassoma, Nigeria.” Not to mention other health complications that may result. The only saving grace is that monkeypox has been around for decades, and there are vaccines and therapeutics. In addition, it is a DNA-based virus, which means it does not mutate easily, unlike HIV and COVID. The world won’t have to go around chasing mutations that keep evading medicine — until it does. The world could contain this newest pandemic if it wanted to, but so far, all the right minorities are being impacted — the gays and Blacks. Hence, there is no need to expedite a response until straight WASPs start contracting the illness.

Nonetheless, the enduring problem is that monkeypox is just another perceived gay disease whereby people in the U.S. are dragging their feet to get a handle on the outbreak as the W.H.O. has already declared a world health emergency. Monkeypox is a gay problem; let’s wait and see what happens. Once again, we’re back to blaming the gays for their conduct and “perversion.” They can suffer and live in fear. It’s not like it will kill them! Another disease was brought to America’s shores by the gays. Never forget that Americans are always looking for ways to find the gays disposable! Before you know it, evil evangelicals will start their hate speech calling monkeypox God’s wrath on the gays for their lifestyle; the 40 percent of idiot Americans will readily believe. Mark my words! And to be absolutely clear: This is not necessarily a sexually transmitted disease. Welcome to stupid America.

Abortions! That is hot off the presses and signed into law Indiana’s new abortion ban. According to Politico, “Abortions would be permitted in cases of rape and incest, before 10-weeks post-fertilization; to protect the life and physical health of the mother; and if a fetus is diagnosed with a lethal anomaly. Victims of rape and incest would not be required to sign a notarized affidavit attesting to an attack, as previously proposed in the Senate. Under the bill, abortions can be performed only in hospitals or outpatient centers owned by hospitals, meaning all abortion clinics would lose their licenses. A doctor who performs an illegal abortion or fails to file required reports must also lose their medical license — wording that tightens current Indiana law that says a doctor ‘may’ lose their license [emphasis added].”

I see the Indiana bill becoming the model for more “moderate” states — but still a bit too squishy for deep red states (e.g., Alabama), which desire (and already have) total bans and will use the power of the state to enforce them ruthlessly. However, several states with a more “moderate” electorate want exceptions for abortions. Thus, the question is, how do RepubliKKKlans get abortion bans passed their idiot, unsuspecting voters, without incurring political backlash? (See Nebraska). The answer lies within the Indiana bill, which technically allows abortions for the popular exceptions of rape, incest, and health of the woman. Indiana also throws in other exceptions such as lethal fetal anomalies and dropping the requirement for a “notarized affidavit to an attack [of rape or incest].” Sounds all very reasonable! A woman who desperately needs an abortion because of pregnancy through no fault of her own or if the fetus is not viable can get one. But the bill as described above would create such hardships for those seeking an abortion and potential risk for those performing abortions that they would effectively become too difficult to obtain.

First, requiring only hospitals or hospital-affiliated outpatient centers to perform abortions will necessarily create financial barriers to obtaining the procedure. The reason abortion (and healthcare) clinics exist is to reduce the cost of getting an abortion while providing a specialized service. So, an abortion may be legal, but can you afford it? Second, Indiana intentionally threatened the livelihood of doctors who may want to perform abortions. This is deliberately done to chill (scare) doctors out of completing the procedure. So, again, abortions are legal, but can you find someone willing to do one? On the surface, everything looks reasonable and sound and lawful to the general public. But underneath, abortions will be effectively impossible to obtain because they’re too expensive and few are willing to perform them for fear of losing their medical license, which could also include hospitals. What Indiana has effectively passed is a total abortion ban with the veneer of being legal when necessary. This will be the new model for all those “moderate” voters who outwardly agree that abortions should be allowed in some instances but who really don’t want people to get them under any circumstances. Hence, the Indiana bill. Perfect for everyone and helping no one! Welcome to stupid America!

From Axios, “A jury in Texas ordered far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to pay the parents of a 6-year-old boy killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting $45.2 million in punitive damages for falsely calling the mass shooting a hoax.” Really?!?! The families asked for $150 million, and the jury returned with a third of that. You know. Punitive damages are supposed to be punishment and a deterrent. Instead, the jury delivered a message that hate speech can be costly but not ruinous — to the hate speech and conspiracy theorist peddler, that is. For the targets of hate speech are ruined — ask the families. So, congratulations, to those f***tard jurors! They basically said that peddlers of hate and stupidity may continue with their lies, conspiracy theories, and propaganda; they just need to raise the prices on the End Times products and dick pills they hawk to their idiot, gullible listeners to cover future legal expenses and judgments. Welcome to stupid America — we’ll never get it because we like the hate speech!

According to CNN, “The U.S. economy has now regained all jobs lost during the pandemic, after a blowout July jobs report that showed a gain of 528,000 jobs, according to data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The massive monthly gain was more than double the 250,000 that economists were expecting, according to Refinitiv. The unemployment rate ticked down to 3.5% after holding at 3.6% for the past four months. The July jobless rate matched the half-century low last seen in February 2020.”

Clearly, Biden has led us into the worst economic crisis the U.S. has ever witnessed! But of course! This is what a recession looks like: Jobs continue to grow, and unemployment hits a 50-year low. But gas prices! This is why we have professionals who officially define when a recession begins and ends, for if we left it to the general dumbassery of citizens, then we’d always be in a recession because the average idiot American is never happy with the economy. If the economy slows, they’re out of a job and can’t pay for anything. If the economy is on fire, then they have work but still can’t pay for anything because inflation is characteristic of an overheated economy. I assert that people really are in the same situation, if not better, as they were during “normal” economic growth. Allow me to explain.

So, as shown in the above chart, I dived into my FactSet to pull two pieces of familiar information for comparison. (I know it’s small, but you can chart this information yourself — it’s all public information.) The consumer price index (CPI) and wage growth are two data points the MSM and economists love to compare side by side, so I will, too, but over 15 years, not year over year or month over month. The solid green line represents total CPI, and you can see the current sharp increase to the right, which tops out at 9 percent. That number has been all over the news — ad nauseam. The solid blue line is nominal wage (average hourly earnings) growth. Again, you can see the peak to the right, around 6 percent. This, too, should be another familiar number reported in the news. The two dotted straight lines are trendlines (via linear regression) over the entire span of 15 years — admittedly, this is an arbitrary time selection. In short, the trendlines indicate the gap between inflation and wage growth. For the last 15 years, inflation outpaced wage growth by about 1 to 2 percentage points. (For comparison, a 30-year time frame yielded nearly parallel trendlines separate by 1.5 percentage points.) In fact, the trendline gap shrinks considerably in 2021 and 2022. It has only been since March 2022 that the gap between the two solid lines diverged to a degree greater than historic norms. What does all this mean? Except for the last couple of months, one may argue that people are struggling no more or no less than what they have been for the previous 15 years (or 30 years) when it comes to their income keeping up with inflation.

For some reason, Americans seem to think the entire economy has fallen off a cliff for over a year now despite more job creation and wage growth lagging inflation by margins no worse than what almost all working people have experienced in the last 15 or 30 years. It is a matter of perspective, and people have no perspective or memory beyond what they ate for breakfast. As usual, idiots judge the economy more by feelings and emotions than facts and figures. As I have said countless times already, morons or America think they understand the economy by looking at gas prices. The populace piles on when the MSM laments a few poor economic indicators. Suddenly, that 25 cents extra for a pound of chicken feels like a burden and eats away at every last dollar of a paycheck, and it’s all Biden’s fault. It’s a no-win situation for him because America — stupid!

Axios reports, “Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for the state’s U.S. Senate seat, will hold his first campaign rally since suffering a stroke in May.” Oh, thank God. I was starting to worry about proof of life! As long as he does not slur his words or appear confused, then he’s a shoo-in to win. However, any sign of cognitive damage could ruin him. Fingers crossed!

Reporting from the Tampa Bay Times, “Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday removed Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren from office for what he said was Warren’s disregard for his duty to enforce state laws, including a pledge not to prosecute people receiving an abortion or their doctors performing them. … The suspension, which stunned observers, removed one of the state’s most outspoken prosecutors. Warren, a Democrat, has been a frequent critic of DeSantis, a Republican. … DeSantis’ order does not cite examples of Warren not prosecuting individual cases. The state has no laws on gender-affirming care that Warren could refuse to prosecute. Instead, DeSantis’ order points to Warren’s public comments on abortion, transgender issues and office policies Warren has adopted.”

This is DeSantis using his political power to punish duly elected officials just as he punishes corporations (Disney), professional teams (Tampa Bay Rays), universities, the gays and schools, and the Special Olympics, to name a few. He’s just a purely vengeful governor, but guess what? People and Floridians love his cruelty and spitefulness because this is stupid, hateful America. Look, f***tards. I don’t know how often I have to say it and post about it — America is dying. Americans prefer their autocratic leaders who would lead through pure vengeance and hatred against a few instead of governing for all. Americans don’t mind that a minority rules over the majority. Americans are just too stupid and uninvolved to care about saving America and democracy, which is why and how DeSantis can wield his power with one of the highest approval ratings nationwide and and approval that bests Biden. Americans love that their guy is inflicting pain on others and demonizing others. And DeSantis is going to get re-elected because of everything he is doing to minorities. This is the future of America. Mark my words, f***tards! The signs are everywhere, from Florida to Arizona! Welcome to stupid America! The end is coming in plain sight! But whatever. No one cares. Oh, well.

Alex Jones is a merchant of lies, conspiracy theories, and pure hatred. Yet, the man is still alive. He still roams the face of the planet. Despite his infectious broadcasts spreading lies and hate to millions of morons like a poison that eventually kills, he is as famous and rich as ever because America is the land of morons and dups. I guess I just answered my own question, at least partly — I see why he thrives. Alex Jones remains above ground because stupid America loves him; they demand (and receive) what he’s peddling: Conspiracy theories, lies, hatred, and stupidity. There is a reason why he’s rich. There are millions upon millions upon millions who love him. And this is the America that is expected to survive? I don’t see how. So, now I must ask the question again: Why have Americans allowed Alex Jones to live? He is a cancer in America, yet no one has excised him from the American body. I’m tired of being nice and fair and understanding and sympathetic and empathetic. Many, many American citizens should not be allowed to live in this country (or at all). Who will stop Alex Jones? You? You? Or you? This is a call to action. Who will save America from Alex Jones before it’s too late?

According to The New York Times, “Viktor Orbán, the prime minister of Hungary who is revered by a wing of the American political right, spoke as an opening day headliner at a conservative event in Texas after he was condemned for his recent comments opposing a ‘mixed-race’ society.” And The Hill reports, “The Hungarian leader said he had come to Texas to tell the audience ‘how you should fight. My answer is play by your own rules. … We must coordinate a movement of our troops because we face the same challenge,’ he continued, calling the 2022 midterm elections and 2024 presidential and congressional elections part of ‘the fight for civilization.’ Orbán emphasized Hungary’s hard-line policies criminalizing illegal migration and restricting marriage and adoption for same-sex couples.” He basically came to America to incite a call to arms and to hate on the gays (of course). Forty percent of America loves him for it and wants more. America cannot survive! I keep telling you, idiots!

This is the future of America, f***tards: An autocracy with a scoop of theocracy on the side because one of the two major political parties in America is all in on ending America’s democracy and enacting their wet dream of a nation where white supremacy, misogyny, anti-gay hate, racism, and all the other -ists and isms are not only accepted but codified. I wish people would wake the f*** up in America and, indeed, around the world. I have written about this endlessly, but there is a reason why authoritarianism is ascending, and democracy is dying across the globe, including America. And I don’t give one G.D. f*** about the surprise ballot victory that kept Nebraskans’ constitutional protection to abortions. I’m hearing it all over progressive media and talk shows: Nebraska is proof the tide is turning for Democrats in the midterms. Ugh! No! It’s! Not! Dumbass Democrats think holding the House and the Senate is tantamount to winning the war. Not! If Democrats retain the House by some miracle of God, it’s just one battle won in a long war. Nonetheless, RepubliKKKlans have been planning and planting the seeds of destruction of America’s democracy for decades. Indeed, until traitor trump, those seeds lay dormant, waiting for the deluge that is the MAGA movement, conspiracy theory critical mass, and, of course, SCOTUS.

To be sure, hateful attitudes have been with America from the moment the first Europeans set foot on the continent. We are far from the City upon a Hill. With the counterculture and social revolution of the 1960s, such hatreds were suppressed and forced into the fringes of polite society. Certainly, no political party would make hate a central plank of their platform. Then came traitor trump. Now the hate, anger, grievance, and white Christian nationalism are out in the open, on full display — embraced, revered, and accepted by 40 percent of the American population and ignored by the rest. The 60 percent who are too stupid, too lazy, or too self-involved to care will soon find themselves being ruled over by the tyrannical minority. The modern world has seen this movie before! Nazis came to power with never having won more than 40 percent of the vote! The end is coming, but whatever. RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks are openly discussing the end of America’s democracy, and no one is listening. Wake up, people, especially the LGBTQ community! Welcome to stupid America!

According to The Hill, “Republicans touting former President Trump’s unfounded claims that the 2020 election was stolen saw victories across the map in Tuesday’s primaries, raising questions — and, for many, concerns — about what will happen in November’s general elections. … The potential elevation of election deniers into roles such as governor and attorney general, which could directly impact an election, has alarmed some observers. … For now the question is whether candidates who questioned the 2020 election can win in November. But some are already looking ahead to a different question: If they do, will they use their offices to contest future elections? ‘That’s certainly not just a possibility but more and more a probability,’ Heye said. ‘The reality is for those Republican election deniers, they only deny the elections they want to deny.’”

What happens when you put election-denying politicians in positions to run and certify elections who believe any election their party did not win must have been rigged and, therefore, should be overturned? (Of course, nevermind the fact that said politicians supposedly allowed corrupted elections to happen on their watch, meaning they couldn’t do their job competently in the first place, but their flawed logic never stops these morons, who ran on restoring election “integrity.”) So, what happens to a state and, indeed, a nation where every election is contested, and the final results are determined by the opinion of RepubliKKKlan election proctors or by RepubliKKKlan state legislatures in favor of their own party? What happens to a nation where everyone in the RepubliKKKlan Party simply refuses to believe election results in which they did not win? What happens? The end of democracy is what happens. We are on our way, morons. Mark my words!

Look, f***tards! Denying elections is nothing new; it is as old as elections themselves, and it is as old as the founding of America. The end of America’s democracy will not happen overnight and will not occur in a single or a couple of elections, but it has started and is accelerating. Indeed, RepubliKKKlans have been waiting for this moment for decades. What is this moment? The moment of conservative momentum spreading throughout America; the moment of a captured SCOTUS who is hell-bent on voter suppression and bolstering RepubliKKKlan dogma; the moment of their strongman traitor trump holding up a mirror to MAGA morons and the nation falling in love with the reflection; the moment of unapologetic white supremacy and conspiracy theories become the backbone of the RepubliKKKlan Party; and the moment of being able to finally install people to rig future elections to take and hold power indefinitely. Mark my words! This time, unlike our previous 245-year history, is, in fact, different — very different. And citizens are copacetic with it! Welcome to stupid America!
