Another Leftwing nut opened fire – this time at an ICE facility. And this was deliberately provoked by the Democrats. They’re calling ICE a new Gestapo and as with Kirk two weeks ago, such overheated rhetoric is having its intended result. Don’t forget that – the Democrats want the violence. They believe that chaos and killing advances their cause…that out of this welter of hatred the people will turn to them in 2026 and 2028. I don’t believe that will happen – but they do, and so they won’t stop.

It had just never occurred to me to check but I looked at the warning label on my generic bottle of Tylenol and there it was: if pregnant or breast feeding, check with a healthcare professional before using. So, RFK isn’t on a flight of fancy here. Then throughout the day people were posting articles – some of them years old – indicating that some studies shows negative effects of Tylenol use during pregnancy. Here’s the kicker: I saw several doctors posting they had never heard of this.

So, what I’m hearing is that some doctors don’t read the label. Which isn’t as surprising as you might think – all professional qualifications have been downgraded over the past few decades in order that we might have diversity…which seems to work out that we’ll lack attention to detail.

Here’s my view:

1. We’re probably massively over diagnosing autism as well as other maladies which are really no more than parents refusing to impart a sense of discipline to their children. Much easier for some to say “he’s autistic!” rather than admit “look, we’re working two jobs here to keep up a high end lifestyle and I just don’t have time to make sure the kid is on track”. One of my older brothers is autistic so I grew up with it: I know what it looks like. I hardly see anyone claiming autism have any of the outward signs of it.
2. In our rush to get the next miracle drug out, we’re probably skipping steps in testing…and probably not doing enough long-term testing to see how its really working over time. There is huge money to be made in medications and the pressure is on to get it out and gloss over any problems. This can easily mean a variety of negative health effects are simply not being looked at.

The cure to all of this is to raise standards back to where they were before diversity became a goal. Whatever it took to be a medical person in, say, 1980: that’s what you’ve got to meet now. If you can’t meet it – get out. I want my doctors to be like the doctor I had as a kid – he set our broken bones, stitched our cuts, dealt with our illnesses…almost always just in his office: he was a general practitioner and simply knew how the human body worked and how to restore it to excellent condition. I’d stack him up against the entire staff of Johns Hopkins these days. And we need this reestablishment of standards throughout all professional fields…everyone is less capable than they used to be and it is all starting to fall apart.

Rumor is that Comey might get indicted. We all hope so. And if he is, then it will be outside the Beltway – he gave his testimony remotely…which means he’s out in Trump Country for his jury.

Rep Summer Lee got all shouty about Trump trying to bring patriotism back to education – her rant about how evil the USA is and that being patriotic is wrong. To which I replied: if you’re not proud of your country, why serve in its legislative body? The bottom line is that you can’t fix what you hate – you can only destroy it. If she hates America, she can’t help America. Just go away if you think this country is evil – get the heck out. Seriously. I wouldn’t stay here if I hated it.

But that also got me thinking – it is very sad that people like Lee are now the leaders of America’s black community. And not just on the racial hate they preach so they can live the high life off of misery. It is more than just robbery of money: it is theft of memory.

Agrippa Hull was a black man born free in Massachusetts who joined the Continental Army in 1777 – eventually serving for 6 years and becoming a aid to Polish General Tadeusz Kościuszko who was the Continental Army’s main Engineer. Hull was a man of intellect and education (he had to keep up with Kościuszko who was a superlative military engineer). He knew when he enlisted that most people in America who looked like him were held in degrading slavery…and even a free man of education like himself faced routine bigotry on account of his skin color. And yet he joined – and served honorably (his discharge was personally signed by George Washington). Why would he serve? Because he could see – that is, he could perceive what he was fighting for. Not for degrading slavery in South Carolina, but for the ringing declaration that all men are created equal. He knew – he must have known – that a nation so founded could not forever hold slaves…or, indeed, be the abode of any systemic injustice. That whatever sins such a nation has or had, they would be corrected because the nation was founded just to make that correction. Not immediately, but over time – and so he signed his life over to America and risked his all just to see this thing created.

That is what these race-baiters are taking away from black Americans and, indeed, all Americans. Think about our black Americans…endured slavery and Jim Crow and yet rose to the heights of education, art, science…incredible devotion to their families, heroic bravery on the battlefield. They, too, crossed wildernesses to carve civilization out of nothing. And all that is taken away so that a few race-baiters can live well and get lauded by upper class white Liberals. It is both disgusting and sad. They’d rather stew over some perceived slight in 2025 than marvel at what their ancestors accomplished in the face of genuine adversity. And the demand that white Americans hate America, too…that we tear down all statues, rename all places…do everything we can to show disdain for those who came before us.

The good news is their time is past…they are just shrieking into a void these days. We’re moving on – and we will teach youth of the greatness of America.
