@Devon_Eriksen_ wrote this post about people without an object model, and then I saw the bodycam footage of Renee trying to ram the Designated Bad Guy with her car, and I think she's...the perfect example.

I think she died because she lived in a universe of words that left her unable to imagine any outcome of ramming the Designated Bad Guy other than getting head pats and cookies from other word people.

I think she was unable to actually encompass violence as an object-level phenomenon and truly comprehend that when she stepped on the gas a human being was likely to die under her wheels.

I'm getting this from the weirdly cheerful expression on her face just before she attempted murder. That was chilling. More frightening than an angry snarl would have been. Complete disconnect from reality.

Every time I watch that footage it gets creepier.

RE: Fraud in Minnesota

I’m not sure that most Americans understand that in large swathes of humanity, there is no actual concept of “fraud,” particularly fraud against the government. Instead, there is a belief in the virtue of getting away with what you can to help yourself and your tribe.

I spent a lot of my life in the Middle East and Central Asia, working closely with foreign contractors and foreign governments to provide support to American military operations. As a US Army officer with a big checkbook courtesy of Uncle Sam, I can’t really count the sheer number of times I was offered bribes to award a contract, or falsify records to do things like create larger (fake) headcounts at places like dining facilities, or to just simply be on the take for future illegal requests.

Of course I had enough sense to never comply with such requests. Moreover, they were never explicitly structured as “bribes”; instead it was usually along the lines of “Here I have these Rolexes as gifts for you and your wife to show our friendship.” (Unfortunately, too many US officers and NCOs succumbed to this siren song and ended up breaking rocks in Leavenworth.)

The weird thing about this to me was that whenever I turned down such an offering, it was treated as a grave insult. I was the one in the wrong, and not the fraudster trying to bribe me. They considered it rude that I was in their country and refused to accept how things got done. After all, why did I not want to help my tribe by helping their tribe?

Let me repeat: in these cultures, FRAUD IS NOT EVEN A CONCEPT. There is only what helps your tribe.

Such thought processes are so alien to Americans and much of the West. We are raised on the presumption that our institutions are valid, that the rule of law always prevails, and that integrity is universal. We need these presumptions to have working governments and economies, and without those presumptions—without the mental barrier that causes us not to accept outright fraud—our nation would quickly descend into the economic and social hellscape of countries like…. ummm… you know…. SOMALIA!

So when we import people en masse from cultures that accept bribery and fraud as routine, acceptable ways to advance one’s tribe, we should not be surprised that things like the $8 BILLION fraud schemes of the Somali population in Minnesota happen so easily.

Introducing a fraud-based culture based on tribalism into America is like introducing some sort of lethal virus into a population that has no natural immunity. The virus will spread and grow, unchecked, because it is so alien to the host. Similarly, a culture of fraud is anathema to American thinking, and it must be cut out before it consumes the host.

So when you see and hear patriotic Americans decrying what is happening in Minnesota or elsewhere, and when they seek deportation of the offenders, it is not “racism,” it is not “bigotry,” it is not “xenophobia”; instead, it is preserving the American tradition of responsible institutions and national integrity.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc. Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many. I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization. These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!

🚨NEW: Pollster Mark Mitchell Sends A Message To The Republican Party—WAKE UP!

“What happens is, when Trump wins an election, he convinces a higher proportion of the under 40 votes to turn it out for him than we've ever seen before, all the Republicans say, Oh, look at us. We're so great. We just, you know, we won the youth vote because Republicans are great. It's like, no, these people are not going to people are not conservative, and they hate you. They only voted for Trump to give him a chance of fixing America, and you're screwing it up.”

This is EXACTLY right.

It amazes me that this still hasn’t been realized by the establishment Republicans at all, the people DID NOT VOTE FOR YOU.

They voted for President Trump, and if you don’t get something done and get it done NOW we are going to lose the midterms.

If the Republicans do not get in gear and actually get the agenda moving, get some points on the scoreboard, President Trump is going to be impeached.

We have 6 months to reverse course and start the push for the midterms.

If we don’t the Democrats will retake the house, impeach the president and hamstring the rest of the presidency.

That’s a fact, listen to Mark. 🇺🇸

Scott Adams: The Democrat Party needs to be ripped out by the roots

@ScottAdamsSays “Two days ago I would have said the healthiest thing for the country is that there are two strong political parties battling it out, in a war of ideas.
But you know who else thought that? Charlie f-in’ Kirk.

He thought that we could talk it out. His whole model was based on polite debate and doing it in public so everybody could see it.

That didn't work. He got sh-t. So now we just need to destroy the entire Democrat Party.

They haven't stopped calling [Trump] Hitler. They're blaming him for the shooting.

It didn't get better; it got worse.”

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

I'd like to comment on a little-recognized effect I believe Charlie Kirk’s assassination is having on certain corners of the Right.

About ten years ago, I escaped from living in the SF Bay Area. The outright, visceral, violent hatred that so many Bay Area residents had towards ANY political dissent shocked me when I moved there, and was one of the main reasons I left.

When I moved, I moved to a deep, deep red state. I made conservative friends here. These are nice, decent people who live by a mantra of you leave me be, I’ll leave you be. But what shocked me about them was their unwillingness to believe just how deeply Democrats hate them. I tried explaining to them that most Democrats want them and their way of life dead and destroyed; that Democrats offer no political quarter and will not tolerate dissent of any kind from their neo-Marxist orthodoxies; and that comity is dead on the Democrat side and all they want is power over everything we conservatives hold dear, and that they would do literally anything to achieve and maintain that power.

They didn’t believe me. They said I was exaggerating. They said what I was saying was not possible.

They thought this because they had lived their whole lives in their red state, and in their red state Democrats were far more conservative than the vast majority of Democrats nationally, and in this state Democrats were such a small minority that they were forced to show the comity that the rest of that party long ago abandoned.

My red state friends just assumed this was the same everywhere.

No longer.

Charlie Kirk’s death has galvanized them and made them believers.

Literally millions of peaceful, law-abiding conservatives who just want to be left alone have been woken up and suddenly realize that most Democrats would gladly see them dead.

RE: Blue Cities and Crime

If you are anything like me, you have probably asked yourself from time to time "How is it possible for Democrats to control all of our major cities for decades when everything they do promotes crime?"

The answer is this: THEY DO IT ON PURPOSE. They WANT urban crime. They WANT urban homeless. They WANT illegal aliens.

Why?

POWER.

You see, most Americans have come to believe the Marxist mantra that "Poverty causes crime." In reality, it's the exact opposite: CRIME CAUSES POVERTY.

By unleashing crime and hopelessness on our cities, Democrats deliberately create poverty, and that poverty is used to fuel the class and racial resentments that are the gasoline that Marxist Democrats pour onto the fire of politics.

Moreover, by creating crime and poverty, Marxist Democrats create dependency on government--a dependency that only Marxist Democrats can pretend to satisfy.

Put more simply, Democrats promote urban crime because crime = resentment and dependency, and resentment and dependency = Democrat votes.

Even scarier is that Democrats want this for ALL OF US. That's what "15 minute cities" are all about; that's what federal suburban zoning limitations are all about; that's what electric vehicle mandates are all about.

Like the Eastern European Communist dictators of old, Democrats want us ALL in their cities so they can practice the dark art of power through crime on all of us.

Be warned.

Kevin here cannot comprehend the concept of "take responsibility for your feelings in order to privilege your commitments." In fact, he finds it "deeply repugnant."

This is just a college-level way to say "I want to do what I feel all the time and I expect to get good results because someone else should clean up the messes I make."

This is what the maturity crisis looks like. This is a (biologically) adult male saying - not just out loud, but as a meaningful, public declaration of his worldview - "everyone should do what their feelings want at all times because my right-now wanties are all that matters"

If you're reading, Kevin, you should know that grown-ups used to make commitments and keep them because being reliable is what makes you a good person (valuable to others). Then, when those commitments get difficult, adults used to choose their own feelings. They would say things to themselves like "my marriage is in a rut right now, but I have [X Y Z] good things, and the future is always coming" instead of "you gave me an icky feeling in my dream so I'm stealing your house"

People forget how bad it used to be as a Trump supporter back in Trump’s first term.

The Dems were foaming at the mouth, claiming we were all Nazis, and they justified their vitriol against us, because they were told that Trump conspired with Russia to steal the 2016 election.

The entire foundation for the Left’s hatred of Trump and his supporters, is all based on a lie, created by Obama and his intelligence heads, as a means to obstruct and overthrow the duly elected POTUS, Donald Trump.

The entire identity of the Democrat Party, and the Left-wing ideology as a whole, stems from a disinformation campaign, manufactured and carried out by Obama and his corrupt intelligent spooks.

The entire Democrat base has been psyopped. They have had their emotions and minds manipulated via disinformation and propaganda. They are literally brainwashed, and it has had unfathomable real world consequences.

This isn’t just a crime against Trump. The Russia hoax was a crime against humanity.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

Yesterday, I retired 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices or ACIP, the @CDCgov external panel that wields the grave responsibility of adding new vaccines to the recommended childhood schedule. Over the coming days, I will use this platform to announce new members to populate ACIP. None of these individuals will be ideological anti-vaxxers. They will be highly credentialed physicians and scientists who will make extremely consequential public health determinations by applying evidence-based decision-making with objectivity and common sense.

I will also be tweeting examples of the historical corruption at ACIP to help the public understand why this clean sweep was necessary.

The most outrageous example of ACIP’s malevolent malpractice has been its stubborn unwillingness to demand adequate safety trials before recommending new vaccines for our children. Today, a compliant American child receives between 69 and 92 routine vaccines (depending on brand/dictated dosage) from conception to 18 years of age. This is up from 11 shots in 1986. ACIP has recommended each of these additional jabs without requiring placebo-controlled trials for any of them. This means that no one can scientifically ascertain whether these products are averting more problems than they are causing.

Many vaccine promoters have challenged this assertion. They are always wrong. Last week, @CNN, which has devolved into a shameless propagandist for Big Pharma, triumphantly announced that it had proof that my pronouncement that “there have been no placebo-controlled safety trials for any routine vaccines” was false. CNN gleefully proclaimed that it had found 257 placebo-controlled studies for routine vaccines.

So, allow me a moment to deconstruct CNN’s claims. Warning: this post may only be sufferable for science geeks like myself.

CNN is wrong. No routine injected vaccine on CDC’s schedule was licensed for children based on a placebo-controlled trial. In instances where a vaccine was used as a control, it too was never licensed based on a placebo-controlled trial. That is not conjecture. It is a fact based on FDA’s clinical trial data. (See https://t.co/q1xAtVxJ4N). As Secretary of @HHSGov, acknowledging this lamentable truth is part of my promise of radical transparency.

The 257 studies cited by CNN unwittingly reflect the lack of safety trials underpinning CDC’s schedule. Despite CNN’s worldwide effort to crowdsource trials with a placebo control (per @US_FDA/@CDCgov, an “inert substance”*), this list, on its face, reflects that 236 of the studies clearly did not use an “inert” safety comparator in a trial to license an injected routine vaccine for children on CDC’s schedule.**

For the remaining 21 studies CNN’s list claims used an inert injection, 9 plainly did not:

• RCT 251, 252 (Varivax) injected an antibiotic, neomycin – not inert.
• RCT 84, 97 (HPV-16 and 16/18) injected aluminum adjuvant – not inert.
• RCT 215 (Almevax) injected another vaccine – not inert.
• RCT 55 (Lyophilized PedvaxHIB) injected lactose, aluminum adjuvant, and thimerosal – not inert.
• RCT 197 (Salk vaccine) injected 199 solution, synthetic tissue culture, ethanol, phenol red, antibiotics, and formalin – not inert.***
• RCT 168 (Dow’s MMR) injected full vaccine minus virus, including all stabilizers, antibiotics, diluent, preservative, and buffers – not inert.****
• RCT 189 (Menveo) injected Tdap+saline or Menveo+saline – not inert.

For the remaining 12 listed studies which may have had an inert injection, none was a trial relied upon to license a routine vaccine on CDC’s childhood schedule:

• RCT 170, 171, 172 (MMR VaxPro), 228 (PCV11), 136 (Vaxigrip), 242 (Antitetanus), and 122 (Chinese flu shots) trialed vaccines never licensed in the U.S. nor relied upon to license a U.S. vaccine.
• RCT 124 (Fluzone IIV3), 102 (WVV/SPV), and 188 (Menveo) trials occurred after each respective vaccine was licensed, hence were not relied upon for their licensure.
• RCT 176 (Mumps vaccine) was not relied upon by the FDA to license the current MMR vaccine. (See MMR-II clinical trial report in link above.)
• RCT 53 (PRP-D) was for a vaccine withdrawn soon after its introduction and not relied upon by the FDA to license any U.S. vaccine.

While these 12 studies were not relied upon to license a routine vaccine on the CDC’s schedule, they do reflect that a placebo-controlled trial of a vaccine is possible. They also reflect what can be learned when a placebo trial is performed. For example: RCT 136 found the vaccine ineffective; RCT 122 found that “severe adverse effects occurred in 69 (0·6%, 95% CI 0·5–0·8) recipients of vaccine compared with one recipient (0·1%, 0–0·2) of placebo.”; and RCT 124 found “the rate of hospitalization was actually higher in the [Fluzone IIV3] vaccine group than in the placebo group.”

The unfortunate reality is that placebo-controlled trials, however, do not occur and have not been relied upon when FDA licenses vaccines for injection during childhood or ACIP recommends the shot for addition to the CDC’s routine schedule.

CNN would have reached the same conclusion had it reviewed the FDA documentation for each vaccine, instead of relying upon a random, crowd-sourced list from the internet. CNN’s list ironically proves the lack of adequate safety trials for routine childhood vaccines.

It is time to stop playing games, such as CNN’s false gotcha. We have gone from 3 routine injections by age one in 1986 (the year the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act passed) to 25 routine injections by age one in 2025 (which now does not include Covid-19 vaccine). Because of the 1986 Act, every one of these products, save one, was developed by companies knowing they would almost never be liable for serious harm. During this same period, chronic diseases in our children exploded, most of which are caused by immune system dysregulation. If we are to identify the exposures that are causing this epidemic of autoimmune diseases, we need to rule out products given dozens of times to young children, specifically to modify the immune system, as potential culprits.

Our infants and children deserve the best safety trials possible to keep them safe. We should care as much about every child who could be injured by one of these products as we do every child who could be injured by an infectious disease. We must protect all children.

Notes:

* https://t.co/o6PtXJVxrv (“Placebos, defined as inert substances with no pharmacologic activity, are commonly used in double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trials.”); https://t.co/KwvrlZSkok (“the placebo control design, by … including a group that receives an inert treatment…”); https://t.co/8eJ0PNI5Mp (“Placebo: A substance or treatment that has no effect on living beings, usually used as a comparison to vaccine or medicine in clinical trials.”).

** While the above addresses injected vaccines, CNN’s cited list also includes 10 trials for rotavirus vaccine, given by oral drops, but none of these trials used saline only drops. Instead, RCT 205, 207, 208, 209, 210, 213 (Rotarix) contained dextran, sorbitol, amino acids, dulbecco’s modified eagle medium, calcium carbonate, and xanthan; RCT 211, 212 (RotaTeq) contained polysorbate 80, sucrose, citrate and phosphate; and RCT 206, 214 (Rotavac) included neomycin sulphate, kanamycin acid sulphate, trehalose, lactalbumin hydrolysate, human albumin, potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate, dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate, and trisodium citrate dihydrate. The list also included three trials of an inhaled flu vaccine; the controls in RCT 104 were OPV+saline or LAIV (a vaccine), hence neither inert; in RCT 106 the control “consisted of normal allantoic fluid harvested from uninfected eggs stabilized with sucrose–phosphate–glutamate”; and, in RCT 109, the control was “intranasal spray of egg allantoic fluid containing sucrose-phosphate-glutamate.”

*** Note that the current polio vaccines used in the U.S. are a different product than the polio vaccine developed by Jonas Salk in the 1950s—which was discontinued in the 1960s—including because the currently-used polio vaccines are “grown in vero cells, a continuous line of monkey kidney cells cultivated on microcarriers.”

Hence, the Salk trial was not relied upon to license any current polio vaccine.
