My wife said 8 billion in the world and sarcastically stated there are 6 billion in the US. She rightly understands that we do don't really know the true population of America after the invasion foisted on us by our nefarious overlords.
Fun question to ask the women in your life. Ask them how many people are in the world and then ask them how many people are in America.
Enjoy the wildest answers you will ever hear.
Lindsay Clancy, after killing her other two kids, turned her rage to 8 month-old Callan. As he was wearing his Mickey Mouse pajamas, the woman who should've been giving her life for him, methodically strangled him over the course of several minutes. She is evil incarnate!
The problem with the Lindsey Clancy thing is that all the women have been conditioned by true crime to expect some kind of “twist ending”
It’s why they think the husband did it
It’s genuinely a childlike inability to differentiate between reality and entertainment
The decline of Rock wasn't organic. Disaffected young men were being mobilized and then it disappeared overnight. It was replaced with gangster rap and effeminate boy bands. This was the work of subversive forces. USAID?
Alice in Chains showing back up on the Billboard charts with “Man in the Box” has a lot of people asking the same question:
What the hell happened to rock music the past few decades?
There used to be a real excitement to it.
A group of kids would get together in somebody’s garage and start jamming.
Day after day, week after week. They’d get comfortable enough and confident enough to finally go out to some small venue in their local town or city, get up on a stage, and try it out in front of a live audience.
If it worked, they’d find a van and take it on the road.
They’d hit places like Soda Pop in Kalamazoo, or Maxwell’s in Hoboken.
And if they were really good, they’d end up at CBGB in Manhattan.
It took a lot of guts to drive around from town to town, living on crappy food and crashing in cheap motels. What made a lot of that music great was the struggle and the hard work.
Record companies had guys out there scouring all these places looking for the next big thing. That was how it worked. And it produced a lot of great music.
But even way back in the 1960’s corporate executives decided they could create bands in a test tube.
Trying to capitalize on the success of the Beatles, they put together The Monkees out of thin air.
Not to take anything away from Mickey Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork but the reality is they were a corporate invention. Check out the movie Daydream Believers if you want a look at how that whole thing went down.
Fast forward a few decades, and with the advent of technology and the internet, analytics and metrics started driving the whole industry.
Take CBGB for example. A lot of great bands came out of that place. The original is long gone and what’s left is mostly branding and nostalgia. Those places were barely making a profit back then. They have no economic viability now. CBGB, Maxwell’s, Soda Pop and thousands of others are gone now.
It’s like Major League Baseball deciding to wipe out the minor leagues. You don’t develop big-league talent without a system that lets kids learn, fail, get better, and get noticed over time.
Music worked the same way. Those small rooms were the minors. And it wasn’t just rock bands.
Even people like Madonna did the small venue circuit around NYC performing in places like Motions in Staten Island in 1983 before she hit big.
Once those small venues started disappearing, the pipeline for the next generation of bands dried up.
MTV’s Unplugged series, while still a corporate invention, was trying to recapture some of that small-venue energy: put the artists in a room and let the music breathe.
People complaining today that music isn’t good have a valid point.
Great music isn’t created by looking at analytics on a computer in a corporate cubicle. It came from the real-life grind and struggle of all those bands that started in garages, whether they made it big or not.
The small venue circuit is pretty much gone. And it’s a lot easier for musicians today to pop a video up on TikTok or YouTube than it is to hop in a van and start crisscrossing the country.
The plant that produced such great fruit is withered and has been replaced by digitized music that gets exposure on screens.
Can it be revived?

@NulliusPersona He can exegete Scripture, but not the culture. He is functionally Anabaptist in regard to the political. God used him during the reformed resurgence, and now we build on that as we take the reformers political theology into the current day.
Numerous admin officials have disclosed to AF Post that border turnaways—immigrants returned from the border or within proximity to the border—are being counted in deportation statistics.
This was a tactic used during the Obama administration to boost its deportation numbers.
It’s unclear if Trump himself is aware or made the decision.

It takes “balls” to overcome the limbic crisis and emotional pain to reach the intellect and realize that the status quo of “stiff spine training as the foundation” is/was the most insidiously harmful narrative in the short history of the fitness/performance industry.
Who said what when is very easy to verify.
20 years is a long time.
The best choice is to get your story “straight” in accord with the truth and accuracy of training athletic movement.
Pretending that isn’t happening, or that correct information hasn’t been available to everyone this whole time isn’t going to work well for those not strong enough to think with intellect - and confirm physically.
Caring first and foremost for your athletes will create the courage to think clearly.
Do the right thing and the industry comes together. The toxicity goes away. AND THE ATHLETES WIN.
