Yesterday at the White House, President Biden hosted a Juneteenth celebration with lots of black people.
But because it's June, the president also invited a transvestite.
You can see him there.
He's standing totally still.
You have Kamala Harris next to her.
You have Mr. Kamala Harris.
Then you have a black guy in a dress.
I can't tell if he's that tall or if he's just wearing high heels.
Might be the high heels.
Amid all of the puzzling aspects of that video, one stands out in particular.
Yesterday wasn't Juneteenth.
It was June 10th, which sounds like Juneteenth, and Joe Biden is senile, so fair enough.
Except the event wasn't organized by Biden.
It was organized by his staff, most of whom are not senile, and they had so many choices that could have made sense.
Juneteenth was contrived as a national holiday about five minutes ago.
They say it's June 19th, but June 18th works too.
Even June 17th.
Or 16th.
Or 15th.
Or 14th.
Or even 13th.
But they didn't pick any of those days.
They picked June 10th.
Because I suppose now Juneteenth, like the simultaneous celebration of Pride, is no longer a day, but a season.
And as far as I'm concerned, it is the perfect representation of the American political order in 2024.
A comatose president standing slack-jawed next to a giant black man jiggling in a sequined ball gown to celebrate a race thing on the wrong day of a month otherwise dedicated to homosexuals and transvestites.
I'm Michael Knowles.

Go to policygenius.com slash Knowles Now, speaking of my possible untimely death, God forbid, I just learned a friend recently informed me that I am on a Ukrainian hit list.
I just, I found this out.
I guess Robbie Starbuck tweeted about this a few days ago.
I must have missed it.
There's a Ukraine enemies list that was put out, not by the government of Ukraine because these sorts of things are pretty much never put out by the governments.
It's put out by an NGO, a non-governmental organization.
In this case, it's an NGO with ties to the U.S.
State Department crafting this policy.
And it's an enemies list, a list of people and institutions that are apparently to blame for Ukraine's battlefield losses, put together by texty.org.ua.ua is the Ukrainian URL.
It was founded by Anatoly Bondarenko.
Bondarenko has been an instructor for the U.S.
State Department's Tech Camp program.
This provides training to all sorts of assets that we mobilize around the world from the U.S.
State Department.
That includes foreign journalists and other NGOs and activists.
Now you got the State Department plucking this guy out of obscurity, training him.
This guy working for Ukraine is adding American citizens, yours truly included, to a Ukraine enemies list, which is tantamount to a hit list.
And the funniest part of it is, I'm not even categorically opposed to helping Ukraine.
Not in principle at least.
I have been, for a very long time, on the side of statesmen like George Kennan, author of The Long Telegram and American Cold War Policy, people like Henry Kissinger, people like Sam Nunn, people like Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who urged caution After the fall of the Soviet Union.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, we were managing the collapse of the evil empire, and these foreign policy realists said, hey, NATO should not just start expanding willy-nilly.
That could be really, really provocative.
It's good to have some buffer states.
We need to manage this as we are now the global hegemon.
We don't want to needlessly provoke our former adversary, Russia.
And of course, the utopians and the liberal imperialists and the globalists and all the rest, they said, yeah, whatever, shut up.
And they went out and they recklessly expanded NATO.
And they got NATO involved in offensive wars.
And it's been disastrous for U.S.
policy.
So that's been my perspective.
I think buffer states are good.
Ukraine was a pretty good buffer state.
There's no reason recklessly to invite Ukraine to join NATO or Ukraine even to join the European Union.
Just seems kind of crazy to me.
But, okay, the die is cast.
We already did that.
And I guess categorically, I'm not necessarily opposed to helping Ukraine.
Until now.
Before I sort of thought, ah, well, whatever.
It's just a U.S.
client state.
It's a satellite for America in Eastern Europe and whatever.
We give them a little bit of money.
Not ideal.
But you know what now?
If you're going to put me on a hit list, Putin can take it for all I care.
Forget about it.
I don't care.
Zelensky?
He can go take a long walk off a short pier as far as I'm concerned.
I know Zelensky himself didn't put me on this list, but this is outrageous.
And it wasn't just me, it was a ton of mainstream conservatives.
Just around my name on this list, and the list goes very far, I saw Ben, I saw Brett, Daily Wire is an institution.
Lots and lots of non-Daily Wire figures.
So, that's fine.
Alright.
You know what I now think about Ukraine?
Because the nation of Ukraine is just so terrible at winning friends and influencing people that they've turned off people who possibly could have been on their side.
But I look at that conflict now, and I sort of think, well, only one of the belligerents in this conflict has ever put me on a hit list, and it wasn't Vladimir Putin.
So you know what, Ukraine, good luck.
Good luck, enjoy.
I am now, as of today, totally opposed to aid to Ukraine.
That's what you get.
That's what you get.
You get what you get and you can't get upset.
Speaking of violence, Nancy Pelosi, in leaked video footage, has come out and taken responsibility for the political violence of January 6th!
We have responsibility, Terry.
We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have.
This is ridiculous.
You're going to ask me, in the middle of the thing, when they've already breached the inaugural stuff, that should we call the Capitol Police?
I mean, the National Guard?
Why weren't the National Guard there to begin with?
They thought that they had sufficient resources.
No, there's not a question of how they had this.
They don't know.
They clearly didn't know.
And I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.
She takes responsibility.
Nancy Pelosi takes responsibility.
Who filmed that?
That was my first question.
Is this a setup?
Is this a strategic leak from the Democrats?
Her daughter filmed that apparently.
It was for a documentary.
And why are we seeing this footage now?
Because the House Oversight Committee was able to get the footage.
So this was filmed.
The Democrats realized this doesn't make them look good.
They never released the footage.
Now the Republicans took the footage and they're releasing it.
This is pretty good stuff because the whole Biden campaign, the whole Democrat campaign against Donald Trump right now, pretty much comes down to Donald Trump tried to overthrow our democracy on January 6th, the worst day in the history of this rainy republic.
That's what it comes down to.
And it's always been a bogus and unpersuasive line.
But now it's especially unpersuasive and revealed to be bogus because Nancy Pelosi is saying, I am responsible for how things got out of hand on January 6th.
It is my responsibility.
So this fundamentally undercuts the Democrat argument.
Democrat campaign, Trump is responsible for January 6th, almost destroyed the country.
Nancy Pelosi, actually I was responsible for January 6th, what are Democrats going to say now?
What do they say?
If you really believe that responsibility for January 6th is disqualifying, then you gotta kick Pelosi out of Congress.
And of course they're not going to do that.
So this really weakens the basis of their campaign.
Just a word of caution, however, to the conservatives.
The bait here, the vulnerability here, Is that conservatives are gonna make a meal out of a cupcake with this.
And they're gonna say, that's right, that Nancy Pelosi is responsible for January 6th, the worst day in the history of this or any republic.
Hold on, wait, wait, hold up.
The conservative argument for the past three years has been that January 6th was basically not that big a deal.
And yeah, things got a little bit rowdy, but it was nothing compared to the eight months of BLM marauding and raping and pillaging and burning all over the country.
And it was nothing compared to most other left-wing aggressive protests and riots.
And the Libs are selectively outraged at making a mountain out of a molehill.
So the temptation for Republicans right now is going to be, yeah, January 6th was the worst day in the history of this country, and Pelosi's responsible.
No, no, no, no, no.
We have to simultaneously hold both arguments, which is easily done.
January 6th has been greatly exaggerated in its significance by the Dems, and also, in as much as anyone was responsible for it, Nancy Pelosi was responsible for it, as she admits.
That's a one-two punch.
We don't need to give up everything.
We don't need to contradict ourselves and blow up our argument.
Just hit them with that one-two punch.
Good, good stuff.
Speaking of talking to people, I love sitting down and talking to people long-form.
Not just these little five-minute tits, but long-form.
One of the people I've sat down with is a woman named Jen Nietzsche.
Nietzsche is the nice Italian way to pronounce it.
She is an ex-psychic who spoke about the tremendous dangers of occult practices and working with demons who aid in psychic practices.
Check out this teaser.
When I was a real psychic medium, I really wanted to help people.
I was told I had a gift from God.
And that draws you in, right?
It must have scared you when you discovered this ability.
I wasn't scared until I started seeing scary things, and hearing scary things, and getting touched by demons.

Now, with no further ado, back to the show.
Speaking of political figures caught on tape, oh, the Libs, they've got him now.
I'm not even talking about Trump.
That's usually who they've got now.
But no, no, no.
Number one target for Democrats is Trump.
Number two is Sam Alito.
They've been going after Justice Alito, who authored the Dobbs decision that overruled Roe v. Wade.
They've been going after him really hard.
They've been trying to get him to recuse himself from cases.
They've been trying to get him to step down from the Supreme Court.
And they throw a bunch of nonsense at him.
They say, Justice Alito flew a Revolutionary War flag commissioned by George Washington's aide-de-camp at his home.
Throw him off the court.
Oh, no.
Justice Alito, he...
And his wife flew an upside-down American flag, which is a maritime symbol of distress.
Throw him off the court.
Oh, Justice Alito, he one time started walking across a crosswalk when the red hand was flashing.
Throw him off the court.
So here's the latest one.
Rolling Stone breaking exclusive story.
Justice Alito caught on tape discussing how the battle for America can't be compromised.
Okay, just that headline.
The battle for America can't be compromised.
Is there, would anyone disagree with that?
No, the battle for America can be compromised!
Screw America!
Is that, that's the liberal position?
That's the, that's the supposed moderate position?
No, everyone, at least in principle, should agree America, battle for America can't be compromised.
Then subheader, in a new secret recording, the Supreme Court Justice says he agrees that the U.S.
should return to a place of godliness.
So is the liberal position now that America should not be godly?
That America should be demonic?
I mean, practically, that is their position.
That's what they want.
But they usually don't admit that.
Usually, the Democrats would pretend to say, no, we want a good country.
We want our country to be good and virtuous and just.
We want a godly country.
They don't really mean it, but they would at least say that.
But now, this is the gotcha.
Ha ha!
That judge, he wants America to be good.
But we want it to be evil, so he's compromised.
We got to get him off the court.
What is this recording?
This recording took place at some sort of historical society, and it was recorded by this woman, Lauren Windsor, who is some lib documentary filmmaker who approached Justice Alito and pretended to be a conservative Catholic.
And And Lauren Windsor, maybe she's a fine director, maybe she's a fine producer, she's not much of an actress because she opens up presenting herself as this conservative Catholic.
Doesn't really convince me.
Considering everything that's been going on in the past year, you know, as a Catholic and as someone who like really cherishes my faith, I just don't, I don't know that we can negotiate with the left in the way that like needs to happen for the polarization to end.
I think that it's a matter of like winning.
Okay, but just before we get to Alito's answer, Justice Alito, I am quite confident, did not believe that this woman was an actual conservative Catholic because she sounds like a caricature of a purple-haired lib girl.
Conservative Catholics, I think perhaps without exception, do not use the word like as a comma.
Uh, so, like, uh, Justice Alito, I, like, really love God and stuff, and, like, um, I want, I hate the gays and everything, and I, uh, I wanna, um, do Christian Sharia, and, like, um, want America, like, to be more, like, good and, and churchy, like, you know?
So, like, shouldn't we get all the libs and kill them all?
I'm sure Alito.
Who is one of the most intelligent people in the country, certainly in public life.
I was listening.
Here we go.
We got another wacko.
I can just say from my own rather modest perch in public life where you go to events and people come up and they're usually great and they ask you insightful questions, but sometimes every so often you get a wacko and you just kind of have to give them whatever answer you can and try to move on.
I promise you.
That was Alito's perspective listening to this woman do a terrible impression of a conservative Catholic.
Without further ado, here's his answer.
I think you're probably right.
One side or the other.
One side or the other is going to win.
I don't know.
I mean, there can be a way of working, a way of living together peacefully, but It's difficult, you know, because there are differences on...
Fundamental things that really can't be compromised.
They really can't be compromised.
It's not like we're going to split the difference.
And that's what I'm saying.
I think that the solution really is winning the moral argument.
People in this country who believe in God have got to keep fighting for that to return our country to a place of godliness.
I agree with you.
Okay, that's pretty much it.
It goes on and this woman keeps babbling for a while and then you can hear other people trying to cut in because it's ridiculous, this woman.
So, that's it.
That's the big gotcha clip.
He says, yeah, I agree, you can live together peacefully, and you can work together, but sometimes it's hard because sometimes there are fundamental differences, and those really can't be compromised.
On some issues, you really can't split the baby.
So if you, I guess, one good example of this, not that Alito brings it up, is if you think abortion is murder, which it is, then you can't support it.
And if you think abortion is not murder, if you've somehow convinced yourself that a baby is not really a baby, then maybe you do support it.
But there's no compromise, you know, as King Solomon shows us.
There's no coherent middle ground there.
On certain issues, You just have to pick a side and one side is going to win or the other.
Either marriage is going to be what it has always been understood to be everywhere in the world, or marriage is going to be some totally new thing, but it can't simultaneously be both of those things.
And the Libs are trying to point to this and say this is an example of Alito being a crazy wild extremist opposed to the American tradition.
No, it's Sam Alito just read Aristotle's Law of Non-Contradiction.
Sam Alito has even a basic degree of education.
He actually has a rather advanced degree of education, but you don't need an advanced education to understand that two opposing ideas cannot simultaneously be true.
And two opposing policies cannot simultaneously be enforced.
What does this say about the left?
That they think this is a gotcha.
Ha ha, he wants a godly country.
Got him.
I think most people want a godly country.
Even if they don't do godly things, even if they don't practice virtue, even if they don't go to church, even if they're not even all that conscious of it.
I think most people know, because we have a moral conscience that's inscribed in every human heart, an understanding of the natural law that is inscribed in every human heart, I think most people know that good is to be preferred to evil.
And now what they're trying to say is, see, Alito's not neutral.
He's not neutral.
Judges are not supposed to be neutral.
Judges are supposed to be just.
Judges are not supposed to be neutral between good and evil.
That would totally undermine the purpose of a judge.
And in this case, a judge on the Supreme Court is called a justice.
So, it tells you right there what they're supposed to do.
They're supposed to be just.
So there's nothing just about neutrality between good and evil.
There's nothing just about neutrality between the law and lawlessness.
There's nothing just... They don't even understand what a judge does.
There's so much more to say.

Speaking of political appeals, president Trump has just come out.
He was campaigning in Las Vegas, Nevada, and he proposed something that's going to make the establishment Republicans.
It's going to make the hair stick up on their, on their backs.
He It's going to, oh, it's going to bother them deeply.
But it's really brilliant politics.
Trump says he wants to end taxes on tips for service workers.
This is the first time I've said this, and for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you're going to be very happy.
Because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips.
People making tics.
We're not going to do it.
And we're going to do that right away.
First thing in office, because it's been a point of contention for years and years and years.
And you do a great job of service.
You take care of people.
And I think it's going to be something that really is deserved.
More importantly, popular or unpopular.
I do some unpopular things, too, if it's right for the country.
I do what's right.
But, so those people that have jobs in restaurants, whatever the job may be, a tipping job, we're not going after for taxes anymore.
This will be ended.
And I announced that for the first time.
First time I've brought it up.
First time anyone's brought it up.
I think it's never been brought up before.
And I also think it's very appropriate.
Great.
This is great.
Let's approach In two sections here, because there's two aspects to this policy.
What it means for the government and revenue and policy and all the dorks pushing their glasses up on their nose, and what it means politically at the ballot box in November.
As a matter of policy, best numbers I could find go back to 2018.
Back to 2018, $38.3 billion were earned in tips by 6 million service workers in 2018.
That's it.
$38.3 billion.
Most service workers are going to pay a tax rate of about 12%.
Because it's a tough job.
It's not the highest paying job.
If you are a, you know, really, really successful server, maybe you're paying a 22% tax rate.
If you're like the highest paid server in the country, maybe you're paying a 24% tax rate.
But more likely it's going to be about 12%.
12% of $38.3 billion is, hold on, let's see, I'll just do the math here, it's about $4.6 billion.
$4.6 billion is 0.075% of the federal budget.
It is a rounding error, a rounding error of a rounding error of the federal budget.
The amount of money that Donald Trump is saying the federal government will not receive because he's going to get rid of the taxes on tips, is 1 38th the amount of money that we have sent to Ukraine alone.
Ukraine which put me on a hit list so they're dead to me and I don't want them to get another single penny until they apologize to me personally and apologize to the rest of the Daily Wire and Charlie Kirk and the American Conservative and Candace and all the rest of them.
I think we can handle it.
Do you think we can afford that?
I think we can.
Now, some, especially libertarian types, are going to say, hey, this is playing favorites.
This is the government getting involved in tinkering in the market.
This is no different than Joe Biden forgiving student loans.
No, I think it's pretty different, actually.
First of all, the student loan forgiveness is going to cost a lot more money, especially in the long term.
But also, student loan forgiveness, more to the point, is giving a handout to people who statistically are going to make much more money than the average American worker.
That is just a payoff to people who are already doing relatively pretty well.
Here, you're talking about service workers.
It's a really tough job, and a tip is a gratuity.
And by the way, when service workers were tipped in cash, a lot of them weren't paying taxes on it either.
So in a way, this is kind of just rectifying a change in technology, because a lot of people now tip on card that Is it a favor to a certain sector of the economy?
Yeah, but that's called politics because on the electoral side of this, Nevada has the absolute highest, or it's at least at the very top tier, location quotient of waiters and waitresses by state.
You're looking at the dominance of this line of work In the state.
Nevada's at the very tippy top.
There's some other places here.
You know, you got Rhode Island.
I don't think Trump's going to win Rhode Island.
You got South Carolina.
We're probably good.
Florida.
We're probably good.
Nevada, though.
Trump might win Nevada.
Trump might lose Nevada.
Nevada's a swinging state.
It would be really, really helpful if Trump could win Nevada.
This is a really easy way to do it.
And he says, I'm not just doing it because it's popular.
He knows it's popular.
He says, I'm also doing it because it's right.
I think it's a totally justified policy.
Especially when you think of all the other ways we waste money in this country.
It's smart.
It's really smart.
We win Nevada, we're a lot further down the line to winning back the White House, and then we get a lot of good policy.
And the winners go to Washington and the losers go home, to quote Cocaine Mitch.
Speaking of realignment, John Fetterman, Democrat from Pennsylvania, Who, as you might recall, suffered a stroke on the campaign trail.
He was really out of it for a while.
He could barely speak.
He then checked himself into a medical center, I think it was Walter Reed, because he said he was suffering from depression.
Because, first of all, I think anybody who goes and works in Washington, works certainly in the Congress or the U.S.
Senate, is going to suffer from some depression.
It's kind of a depressing job.
And then if you're also struggling to speak, which is the ...tool of the trade when it comes to politics.
That's going to make you a little bit more depressed and all the rest of it.
He goes in, he checks himself out, but he's been recovering and as he has recovered from this major brain injury, he has become much less progressive.
I want to ask you personally about your own sort of journey, as the kids say.
Some progressives have criticized you for being a different senator than you suggested you would be when you were a candidate for Senate.
What do you say to that?
Well, I wasn't.
I was very clear for saying that for years I'm not a progressive, and I just identified myself as just a regular Democrat, so it really wasn't any new news.
Now, eight years ago, I was a progressive, but the situation's changed, and I've been very clear that I didn't leave that label.
That label leaved me, and I think it's much more important to be focusing on Donald Trump.
Okay.
He says, look, I'm not a progressive.
I haven't been a progressive.
Eight years ago, I was a progressive.
Is that a contradiction?
Maybe it was, but I think what he's saying there is, when I was campaigning for the Senate seat, I said, no, I'm not a progressive.
I'm just a Democrat.
A while ago, eight years ago, I was a progressive.
But now I'm not.
And he used the old line that Reagan used, that a lot of people use.
I didn't leave my party, my party left me.
But usually it's the case that people actually do leave their party.
And that seems to be what Fetterman is actually implying here.
Great news, I'm glad.
He's bucked the Dems on a few issues.
I urge a little caution here.
I always urge a little caution.
Just say, we'll see if it bears fruit.
Because what Fetterman might be doing here is continuing to vote party-line Democrat, continuing to vote with the loonies in his party, but just trying to play the moderate because the moderate plays a lot better in his state, in Pennsylvania, and he's going to need to use that kind of language in order to get re-elected.
So, look, I'm hopeful.
I'm not calling him a liar.
I think the Babylon Bee headline was prophetic, actually, when it said, a man becomes more conservative as he recovers from brain injury.
And that seems to be the line that Fetterman himself is now taking.
But we'll see if it bears fruit.
You know the tree by the fruit.
If Federman continues to move to the right, if he starts taking votes with some Republicans on issues, if he starts really bucking his party on major contentious issues, then that's great and he'll be a great example of what happens.
As your brain recovers, you become more right-wing.
Speaking of the realignment and Democrats suffering some losses here, CNN is furious.
They're up in arms.
Their chief data analyst just presenting on TV a major swing, a 20-point swing, in Trump's favor among Hispanic voters. - Look at this change in the vote, all right?
This is the polls at this point among Hispanic voters nationally.
You know, at this point in 2020, Joe Biden had a very clear advantage, right?
59%, 32%, that's a 27 point lead.
Look at this tremendous shift.
Oh my goodness gracious, now to 2024.
Biden's dropped by eight points, 51%.
Trump is up 12 points to 44%, and you have what was a 27 point margin has been shrunk to seven.
That margin has been shrunk by 20 points now versus this point four years ago.
So it's no wonder that Donald Trump thinks he can play for the Hispanic vote and it's no wonder that Joe Biden thinks he has to defend against Trump's advances.
Okay, this is really good news, and I do think this is true, and I think we've actually seen this borne out, not just in a lot of different polls, but even at the ballot box, and conservatives have been able to win over Hispanics in large numbers.
Still, though, those numbers aren't great.
The absolute disaster for the Democrats is that they're only getting a bare majority of the Hispanic vote.
So even in this scenario where Hispanic public opinion shifts 20 points to the Republican, Democrats still get the majority of this Hispanic vote, which is why they still encourage mass migration from Latin America, because they feel that in the long run it's going to help them.
It's going to give them a permanent electoral majority.
Even as the Hispanics become way more right-wing, it's just There's so much ground that Democrats can afford to lose before the Hispanics become a political problem for them, that they're still going to encourage that mass migration.
That's still going to be something that conservatives need to worry about.
You know, in principle, I like the Reagan line, Hispanics are conservative, they just don't know it yet.
And a lot of the people crossing the border are Christian, like Catholic, but a lot of Protestants too, and they have Big families and all the rest of it.
So the ingredients are there, but it just has not yet coalesced into a conservative political identity.
Maybe that 20 point trend will just continue unabated and maybe soon enough we'll see Republicans winning the majority of Hispanics or a major majority of Hispanics.
Boy, wouldn't that be great?
But again, we take the good trend lines, but don't don't declare victory yet.
We'll see if it actually bears fruit.
We've all been fooled before.
Now, speaking of our political system, we were talking earlier, especially about our judicial system.
Our judicial system is broken, okay?
There are a lot of judges out there who seem more interested in left-wing politics than in justice.
There's one man who stands above the fray.
I am talking, of course, about Judge Matt Walsh.
The final episode of Judged by Matt Walsh, season one, is now streaming exclusively on DailyWare+.
When I first heard that Matt Walsh was given the official title of Judge Walsh, That his decisions would be legally binding.
I was skeptical.
Who would trust Matt Walsh with the power to make final decisions on legal disputes?
Only lunatics like the people lining up to enter his courtroom.
They were eager to have their cases judged by him for their settlement and for our entertainment.
Matt Walsh promised us a court filled with the pettiest disputes and he has delivered.
Check out a sneak peek of the final episode of Judged by Matt Walsh.
Coming up on Judged.
You are over the age of 11.
You're big into Halloween.
What does that mean exactly?
I have a very large display, animatronics.
Kids enjoy it.
My kids enjoy it.
So you're trying to lure the kids in the neighborhood to your house?
For candy.
For candy?
Does that make it better?
That does not make it better at all.
I went to console one of the dogs and I said, who's a big boy?
And I rubbed his belly and I assumed... The question was not directed at you.
Or was it?
it.
Were you fat shaming the bailiff?
Watch as Judge Walsh slams the gavel one last time this season.
It's It is the finale of Judged by Matt Walsh, streaming now exclusively on Daily Wire+.
My favorite comment yesterday is from scurvydog20 who says, Michael's description of ideology is why I always say gays were not oppressed, they were suppressed.
You oppress an innocent, you suppress an evil or harmful.
That actually wasn't my favorite comment.
I don't know.
I guess the producers in the, in the control room were just extremely homophobic or something like that.
No, it's pride month and I will not tolerate such a comment.
Strike that comment from the record.
Now, Speaking of Trump's shifting support, there's a Pew survey app shows that Trump supporters are far more likely than Joe Biden supporters to say that society should prioritize marriage and having children.
The survey here is Entirely unsurprising, of course.
If you just had to get, without looking at any data, you say, hey, who do you think's more into marriage and having kids and like being normal and having a good life?
The conservatives or the purple-haired transvestites?
Not a difficult choice.
So among all voters, 39% say they are interested in getting people to get married and have children, making that a priority.
Among Trump supporters, it's 59%.
Among Biden supporters, it's 19%.
Fewer than one in five Biden supporters think that society does better when people get married and have kids.
Men are more likely to think it than women overall, but for the Trump-supporting men and women, it's pretty close.
White people and Hispanic people are much more likely to think this than black people and Asian people.
60% of white Trump supporters say society's better off when people get married and have kids.
Only 17% of white Biden supporters.
So for black people, it's just much narrower, the range.
Only 34% of black Trump supporters think that society is better off.
Actually, I'm sorry, I have to correct that.
Black Trump supporters don't even show up in the poll.
Here it is, right there.
That's really unfortunate.
So you've only got all voters and black voters, but you can't even really see a distinction for Trump supporters.
Okay, that's too bad.
But in any case, the range there is just 29 to 34.
So the black Biden supporters are much more likely to favor getting married and having kids than the white Biden supporters.
But it's still a pretty small number.
Hispanics, it's broader.
Asians, it's more condensed.
Among college graduates who support Biden, 66%.
So the most likely people to say getting married and having kids is good for society are actually college graduates who support Trump.
That result might be kind of surprising because you think people get indoctrinated in college.
But if you graduate college and you remain a conservative, then you're going to see not only at a gut level why getting married and having kids is good, but you're going to have processed some of the philosophical and historical arguments maybe for why that's true.
And then that's a huge, the college grad Biden supporters, pretty much the least likely to support that.
Okay.
No surprise whatsoever.
The modern Democrat Party is a death cult.
Simple as.
They want to kill the babies in the womb.
When they can't kill the babies in the womb, they want to castrate the kids when they get out of the womb, and they want to limit their life expectancies by pumping them full of cross-sex hormones and give them all sorts of bone diseases, and sterilize them so that they can't have kids themselves.
And then when they get a little bit older and they suffer from some chronic pain or something, they're going to try to kill them through so-called euthanasia, assisted suicide.
Murder at every step of the way.
Sterility at every step of the way.
Because in the meantime, they're also going to push contraception, they're also going to push sterilization, they're going to push all the rest of it.
It's kind of weird.
It's kind of weird how every Democrat policy that could possibly touch on life opposes life.
It's not just abortion.
It's abortion.
It's the euthanasia.
It's contraception.
It's sterilization.
It's this.
It's just on and on.
It's discouraging marriage.
It's discouraging having kids.
It's all the rest.
I guess you could say the one Democrat policy that is not totally opposed to life is their endorsement of IVF in the surrogacy industry, which does lead to people being born, but it also just sells babies.
It commoditizes human life and sells babies and treats human beings as something less than human.
So there's a trade-off there.
Okay, in that one, they don't want to kill the babies, they just want to treat human beings as property to be bought and sold.
It's weird.
It's weird.
It's almost as though there is a spiritual aspect behind all of those policies that is extraordinarily dark.
I'm not accusing the Democrats of, you know, explicitly and intentionally worshipping demons.
Sometimes they do.
There is a lot of occult imagery, especially with all the Pride stuff, which is the deadliest of the seven deadly sins.
They have a whole month dedicated to it.
But if all of your policies end up With murder and sterilization and the degradation of human beings.
Maybe you got to ask what spiritual aspect lies behind those policies.
Which the Wall Street Journal is asking.
The Wall Street Journal just has a headline.
It's one of the funniest headlines I've read in a while.
Story in the journal about sleep paralysis.
And if you've never had sleep paralysis, it's when you kind of wake up but you can't really move and you hear demons screaming, you know, or you hallucinate really scary things.
It's really scary.
It's only happened to me once or twice, but it's scary.
You have auditory hallucinations.
A lot of people have this, at least at some point in their lives.
So the headline is, If Not Demons, What Causes Sleep Paralysis?
And that headline to me kind of reads like, if not light, what causes photosynthesis?
If not water, what causes things to become wet?
You're taking out what is, in my view, an explanation that should not so readily be dismissed.
But let's say, let's just say that there is some A convincing, purely physical, empirical explanation for sleep paralysis.
There might well be.
I'm sure there is.
I'm sure there is some physical explanation.
Whether or not the scientists have discovered it yet is another matter, but I'm sure there's some way to observe what happens during sleep paralysis and to give a purely physical account of what that is.
The mistake here is not to say that there's a physical explanation for things.
The mistake that the libs at the Wall Street Journal and that the libs in America broadly make is they say that a physical explanation precludes a metaphysical explanation.
The mistake they're making is that they're denying that physical things have meaning.
That's the mistake they're making.
It might well be the case that if you have too much coffee and provolone cheese before bed, you're more likely to fall into sleep paralysis, which is when your muscles sort of seize up and certain chemicals aren't firing off in your brain in the right way, and therefore you're hearing these sounds that, oddly enough, just always seem to be really demonic and everything.
It might well be the case that that is true.
And also, there's a demon in your bedroom.
Because we know that there are physical things, like my leftist ears tumbler here, or my microphone, or my note cards, and we know that there are things that are not physical, like justice, and mathematics, and love, and, if you take religion seriously, angels and demons and God.
God, who becomes physical, but who is beyond the physical world which he created.
So, the two things Coincide, and I know that in our modern, really degraded and materialist age, a lot of people think that's silly, but we all acknowledge that non-physical things exist.
So if you wake up in the middle of the night and you can't move and you see a demon crawling on top of you and you hear a demon screaming at you, is it that much of a stretch to say there's such a thing as evil that has a personality?
Is that such a stretch?
I don't think it's a huge stretch.
Now, speaking of the meaning of physical things, I'm going to give you a little tease.
You know me, I'm a tease.
This is a story, it's a story many years in the making now.
Hey, I really hate to say I told you so about this.
Some years ago, I mentioned that the libs were going to try to get us to eat bugs.
And there was a meme going around at the time that the libs wanted to get us to eat bugs and live in a pod and own nothing and be happy.
Some people said that's crazy, Michael.
That's just a conspiracy theory, right-wing fever dream.
Yeah, well, you know what they say about conspiracy theories.
This wasn't 6 to 12 months, I guess it was more like 18 to 24 months, but it's happening.
Aldi, the grocery store, is considering selling you bugs so that you can get your protein.
Well, the political elite enjoy Wagyu beef or whatever they eat.
We'll get to what the edible bugs mean tomorrow, but for right now, I'm very excited to say we have a guest coming on the Member Block.
That is my friend Mary Margaret Olihan.
And I'll be taking, obviously, your questions, your comments, your exclamations, your ejaculations in, let's say, that's a rhetorical term.
Thank you very much.
Get your minds out of the gutter.
That will happen in the Membrum Segmentum.
