The plot for children

Did you know the white birthrate has decreased due to a combination of economic factors like the Great Recession and the high cost of raising children, along with social and generational trends. These factors have led to women having fewer children, even as birth rates have also declined for other racial and ethnic groups, resulting in the white population experiencing natural decrease (more deaths than births) in the United States since 2016. I knew.

Did you know the fertility rate for non-Hispanic white women has been below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman for years. I didn't. Since 2016, more white deaths have been occurring than white births, a phenomenon known as "natural decrease." This is influenced by the aging population and rising mortality rates, which can be driven by factors like the opioid crisis. Between 1999 and 2016, the number of white births fell by 10.8 percent to 2,094,000 and the number of white deaths rose by 9.2 percent to 2,133,000. Other groups, such as Hispanic and Black populations, have younger average ages and higher proportions of women in their prime childbearing years. 

Their arrival at Plymouth in 1620 in search of religious freedom marked the start of large waves of whites coming to this land. When the U.S. was established as a country in 1776, whites comprised roughly 80% of the population. The white share rose to 90% in 1920, where it stayed until 1950.

On June 23, 1960, the FDA approved the sale of Enovid for use as an oral contraceptive. White women were 87% of its users. The birthrate from 3.7 children in 1970 went to 1.8 by 1980. By comparison, white women's average birth rate was 2.42 in 1970. The average number of children for white women varies by how it's measured, but recent data show it is around 1.83 children for women aged 40-44 and the total fertility rate (TFR) is approximately 1.75 births per woman, Bowling Green State University https://www.bgsu.edu/ncfmer/resources/data/family-profiles/guzzo-loo-number-children-women-aged-40-44-1980-2022-fp-23-29.html, The Hill. Previous data from 2015-2019 indicated the mean number of children ever born to women aged 15-49 was 1.3, and the average number of children per white mother was about 2.3, Pew Research Center https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2015/05/07/family-size-among-mothers/, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

In the United States, abortion was legalized nationwide in 1973 with the Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade. This landmark decision established a woman's constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy during the first trimester. Non-Hispanic white women account for about 30% of abortions in the U.S., but this number can vary by state due to demographic differences. For example, in states with a larger white population, a higher percentage of abortions may be performed on white women. In contrast, the abortion rate is highest among Black women, according to the Pew Research Center. Black women account for the highest proportion of abortions, have the highest abortion rate, and make up the largest percentage of abortion patients in the U.S. This is largely due to factors like higher rates of unintended pregnancies, economic disadvantage, and unequal access to quality family planning services. Still the decrease in the White birth rate is concerning for the White population.

A Pew Research Center fact sheet from June 2025, based on a survey conducted in April 2024, found that 60% of White adults support legal abortion in all or most cases. While this statistic is for all White adults, a related Pew survey from May 2024 notes that the difference in opinion between white men and women is modest. For context, that same survey found that 61% of men overall and 64% of women overall support legal abortion in all or most case.

I said all of this to show the concerns over the White population's decline has struck fear into the White lawmaker man. Yes, the non-Hispanic White population is on a long-term decline in the United States, with its share of the total population falling from 63.7% in 2010 to 57.3% in 2020. This is due to slower growth rates and recent absolute declines, while other racial and ethnic groups, such as Hispanic and Asian populations, are growing faster. The non-Hispanic White population experienced an absolute decrease for the first time in the 2010-2020 decade.   

Why else would this be happening? While the search results show that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has linked Tylenol (acetaminophen) to autism and has made unproven claims about male reproductive health, the results do not show he has specifically blamed Tylenol for low testosterone and sperm count in adults. His recent claims have centered on a link between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism in children. White men need virility to produce children and can't with a low libido and sperm count. Now that abortion and soon contraceptives are off the table, men have to be ready to me the egg, or challenge. Kennedy can help with his crackpot ways. He was put in charge for a reason. He has the craziest task of all, making White babies. The Supreme did their part, now its Kennedy's turn.

Trump is championing himself as the father of IVF. He is making it affordable and covered by health insurance, removing any obstacle to conceiving a child. In February 2025, President Trump signed an executive order  aimed at reducing the cost of in vitro fertilization (IVF). The order directs the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy to provide Trump with a list of policy recommendations aimed at protecting IVF access and lowering out-of-pocket expenses and health plan costs. On March 26, during a Women’s History Month event at the White House, President Trump announced the formation of the Republican Women’s Caucus in Congress. While this announcement was separate from his IVF-related executive order, it reflects ongoing attention to reproductive issues in the political sphere.

President Donald Trump made an announcement Thursday (Oct. 16, 2025) from the Oval Office that EMD Serono will reduce the cost of fertility medication in effort to help make IVF more affordable. The new guidance will allow companies to offer fertility benefits separate from major medical insurance plans like they do with dental and vision plans, Trump said. The announcement includes three main components: discounted fertility medications, an FDA expedited review pathway for a new IVF drug and federal guidance encouraging employers to include IVF coverage in health insurance plans.

White men are doing everything in their power to increase the birthrate of White children. But what do the younger generation think about having babies? Millennials' desire for children is mixed, with many still wanting families but also delaying or choosing not to have them due to financial concerns, career focus, or personal preference. While a majority still see having children as an important part of a happy life, financial pressures like student debt and the high cost of living are primary reasons for delaying or foregoing parenthood, especially for those who want to prioritize career and financial stability first. While a specific "millennial" percentage is not consistently reported, data from similar age groups shows high birth control use, with over 60% of women of reproductive age using some form of contraception, and the birth control pill being a common method, although its use is declining while long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) and male condoms are very popular among millennials. For instance, about 19.5% of women aged 20–29 was using birth control pills, and 13.1% in that same age group were using LARCs. 

Looks like the White men in charge are going to have to sell having babies, many babies, as a good idea. IVF increases the number of eggs retrieved from a woman and they can be kept for years until needed. Trump will have access to many unfertilized eggs. Wonder if the man of morals can resist this quick and effective way to increase the White population? I don't know. He doesn't resist much that benefits him and a chance to be a savior. Until that part of the PLAN is activated, they are getting sperm counts up in teenage boys by some miraculous means, knew was low and birth control gone. Looks like a forced increase in the White population is at hand.

Studies show that average testosterone levels in men and boys have decreased over the past several decades, a phenomenon known as secular decline. While a gradual decline with age is normal, this population-wide trend is steeper and affects younger generations at the same age more significantly than their predecessors. 

For example, a 2020 study using U.S. data from 1999 to 2016 found that average testosterone levels declined in adolescent and young adult men, even when excluding those who were obese. Another study from 2007 found that testosterone levels in U.S. men were lower in 2002–2004 compared to 1987–1989, independent of age. 

Lower testosterone levels affect numerous aspects of men's health beyond reproduction, including, decreased muscle mass and strength, reduced bone density, increased body fat, erectile dysfunction and low libido, fatigue and low energy, and increased risk for chronic conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Lifestyle changes affecting testosterone include weight and diet: High rates of obesity, driven by sedentary lifestyles and poor diet, are strongly linked to lower testosterone. Excess body fat can increase the activity of the enzyme aromatase, which converts testosterone to estrogen. Physical activity: Decreased physical activity is a significant factor. Regular exercise, particularly strength training, helps support optimal testosterone production. Sleep: Poor sleep quality and chronic sleep deprivation can disrupt the body's normal hormone cycles and lower testosterone. Stress: Chronic stress increases cortisol, a hormone that can interfere with testosterone production. 

Environmental factors affecting testosterone levels include endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs): Exposure to chemicals that interfere with the body's hormones is a major concern. EDCs are found in many plastics (e.g., BPA and phthalates), pesticides, and personal care products. And pollution: Heavy metals from industrial pollution are also considered a potential factor. 

SHORT STORY: It Could Just Be The Wind

 

Never wrote a short story before. Please tell me if the story spooked you, made you wonder too, or had no effect. Writers want the reader to have some kind of emotional feeling. DID I ACCOMPLISH THIS? Feedback of any kind appreciated. DO I HAVE A FUTURE IN WRITING?

IT COULD JUST BE THE WIND

 

Finishing my, as the book directd, prayer, “Lord, please forgive me of all my sins known and unknown. I repent of any wrong I have done to others, known and unknown. Cleanse me of all my sins and allow me to see your divine angels, In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen,” I feel a chilling puff of cold air on my right forearm. Goosebumps stand erect acknowledging what my eyes didn’t see. If all the other occurrences could be summed up as, “It could just be the wind playing tricks on you,” I would take it with no more questions asked. But this can’t be explained away so cavalierly.

I wonder for a moment, if the prayer to see angels I just performed really works. I was a little hesitant to say the prayer because the beautifully illustrated jacket of the book warned if there is any darkness or unforgiveness in you, you may see demons instead of angelic angels. Immediately after saying the prayer, I, with wide eyes, search for what will appear from my prayer in my sun filled livingroom. Nothing. It has always been my dream to see the angels and nothing.

Hearing the youthful sounds of children playing basketball in my yard, I smile and decide to take in some afternoon sun on the black iron garden bench and watch them play. As the kids laugh and try daring basketball moves, I become overcome with the nagging feeling there is a slithering snake at my feet. Unable to ignore the increasing sense that a snake is near, I fold my feet under me Indian style on the bench, which did not ease the feeling. Finally, I cautiously bolt to the security of the indoors. Once inside, I laugh at my foolishness.

Kids fed and tucked into bed without much complaint, I settle to watch my favorite show, ER, with lights off. Just me and George Clooney for an hour. Suddenly in the darkened room illuminated by the flickers of the television, my peripheral vision sees a black formless shadow dart from the side of the black kitchen refrigerator and disappear at the end of my side vision. Snapping my head in the direction of what I am sure I saw, I simultaneously think, “Did I just see that,” and “Who’s there?”

Just as quickly as the feeling of impendinng doom came, it disappeared as I laugh at myself, being startled by nightly tricks of the eye. Focusing back on the t.v., I settle in to enjoy my remaining time with George.and his gorgeous hair. I jump, startled once again, but this time by the extremely loud booming hum of the refrigerator, which sounds more like a hungry chainsaw in search of its food. It has never been this loud before. Frowning, as if pained from the audio assault, I must pee and pee badly. I gather myself to scurry past the cold loud kitchen to the powder blue bathroom down the hall. Relieving myself and exhaling my uncalled-for fear, I dismiss the previous frightful occurrances.

Why have I been on edge all day looking for something that doesn't exist? I’m never jittery like this, literally shaking like the last brown dry leaf holding on to a tree branch in the blustery fall wind. I twist and flutter, shaking but never giving in to the power of the destructive winds like that leaf. Of course, I’ve seen shadow figures before, but never several times like tonight. I need to calm down, breath, and relax. With that, I wipe and flush the toilet. The sound of the flushing sounds like bombs of war going off. The percussion sound blows me back, causing me to stumble. I feel a rush a wind again. Searching the tiny bathrrom, looking for an open winndow, which remains closed and locked, I can't find a sourch of the bone chiilling wind. shivering I run to the dark living room, hopping onto the couch, cowering under a blanket as the toilet roars from the bathroom like an angry lion. Praying for the toilet to fill and quiet, I wait, all the while I feel as if someone or something is watching me.

Trembling like a wet fearful dog hoping to be rescued by its master, I look out from the red wool blanket, searching the kitchen for the black formless shadow. After a few minutes, which seemed like an hour, the black shadow darted from the side of the refrigerator down the hall towards the bathroom and my baby’s room. Heart pounding like a startled rabbit, I question once again whether I have seen what I had saw. No! No, I didn’t. I don’t believe in ghos….

Suddenly it dawns on me; my prayer. My breathing quickens to pants reliving today’s earlier request to see etheral angelic angels. What if I unleashed demons instead of angels? No! My heart is clean! The prayer didn’t work! Its not possible to request to see angels. Good angels. The book warned me! Why didn’t I listen! No! No! No! I don’t believe such stuff, and yet I do in the secret creases of my heart.

The night dragged like a man lame from war as I waited for the snail-like approaching daylight. I removed the batteries from the clock hours ago, each tick of the second hand sounded like a grenade going off. Boom! Boom! Boom, striking terror with each explosive sound. Now I sit in a fetal position in the corner of the green velvety couch. I’m freezing, bone shaking cold, but too scared to move from the couch to put on warmer clothes. I had on sexy sheer lingerie for my quality time with George. The airconditioner is pumping out North Pole air. My brain is ping-ponging from one explanation to the other for the shadows and noise. Nothing is comforting or reassuring. As each moment passes, I feel my grip on reality slipping away. If only this was a dream, then I could make sense of it all. Even though I have vivid dreams, dreams I can manipulate while sleeping to start, stop, or change at my command, I can tell the difference between dreams and reality. Now I don't know what reality is at all.

This is something different. Something unearthly. I am between insanity and reality, not knowing which is which. If I am seeing dark demons from my prayer, is it real? If I’m seeing demons, is it from the prayer or am I just going crazy? I don’t know what is real right now, which makes me question my sanity even more. Did a mental breakdown happen to coincide with a prayer to see angels? Whatever is happening to me is terrorizing. Rocking myself, wanting to hum a soothing song but can't form any words in my head, eyes cast down, I pray for daylight.

As the dark night sky of mystery yields itself to shades of gray tinged with the oranges of a rising sun, I’m proud I’ve held on. I called hubby an hour ago who is out of town working. I didn’t know what to say except I need you to come home and take me to the doctor. Now I question what exactly I will tell my husband and doctors about what happened to me all night. Looking into the not-so-dark-now kitchen, I see no shadows and immediately question if I ever had.

Hearing the sputtering engine cut off from the truck hubby drives, I quickly decide, as I smile with relief, last night didn’t happen. I just had a bad bad day. I was just over sensitive to noise and now its over. No black shadows or bombs going off. It could be the presence of daylight, hubby’s calming presence, or my imagination, but none of the feelings from the night linger in the coming daylight.

I explain to hubby I was having a bad day and just felt off. I will go to the doctor if the feeling returns but all is okay now. We spend the day together having family fun. We put the children to sleep an hour after their usual bedtime. They got to stay up an extra hour because dad had come home early. Me and boo shut down the house for the day and snuggle, talk, and laugh in the middle bedroom. We hear at the same time the sound of little feet almost running from the kid’s bedroom heading our way. Laughing we know it is our nightly bed-jumper, our youngest. We listen as the tiny feet approach, waiting to hear the excuse of a four-year-old trying to worm her way into our bed. No child appeared.

With a questioning look, his usual furrowed brow and without words, hubby looks at me for a long minute. Climbing over me, his knees promising to do damage unless I sheild myself, he goes to the open bedroomm door and looks down the hall into the livingroom where the footsteps were heard. Confused, and with mouth open he stares at me for some kind of answer. All I can offer him is an ‘I know. I heard it too’. I pat for him to come sit on the bed next to me. I explain the prior night’s event, leaving out the part where I prayed to see angels. That never happened right? I'll never tell I prayed to see angels and was scared shitless instead.

I tell hubby I need to go to the doctor and tell him what I told him. We both agreed the doctors will think I’m crazy. Hubby offers to tell the doctors he experienced some weird shit too in the house and we both heard the unexplained footsteps. I can’t imagine what doctors will think if two parents came to them with such a story. We would probably lose custody of our children. No. Only I will confess to the craziness.

It does enter my mind to pray for the visions to disappear. But that will only work if the prayer to see angels worked in the first place. With hubby experiencing hearing the human-less footsteps, something occurred after the prayer. What, I can't tell you. On the other hand, I have a long family history of mental illness, schizophrenia to be exact. I’m sure I saw what I saw and heard what I heard. But so was my mother when she thought she was the Unabomber police were looking for because she once worked at the post office. The things she must have heard and saw with that delusion.

“I want you to place one of these pills under your tongue each time you have a panic attack,” the nice doctor said handing me a prescription for Xanax. My hubby watched as my shaky hand took the prescription from the doctor, nodding my head. Smiling, I felt as if I had the answer, anxiety attack. Sounded right to me even though hubby wants to hang a horseshoe over the door to ward off evil and says he will never stay in the house alone again.

I’m mentally ill. How relieving. It’s not schizophrenia though. I'm lucky. Sure, hubby is a little shaken. Okay, scared, but we have been okay for days even though I have to pop several pills at night when the noises and shadows come. I sleep with a fan running to drown out the footsteps at night. I believe it is called white noise. Many well people sleep with a television or fan on at night to help with sleep. My days are normal. No boogieman nor signs of schizophrenia. Just peace in the mind. Nights are another story.

Nights have become battles of thought. Are those who can see and talk to angels mentally ill or are those with mental illness able to communicate with beings on another level. Should I embrace being able to see what I see, good or bad, or continue to monitor my mental health for further decline. I brace myself each night at the mercy of a thing which I can not determine what it is. Menacing is the best word for it right now. Should I surrender to this unknown? What is my reality? Do I see what I think I see? What is a certain reality is the fact I have gone from one pill to six and this reality persists, and the torture is not knowing what my reality is. “Hello shadow, how are you tonight?”

 

Men Of Honor In Uniform

RIP Victor Wills of the Village People who identified/defined MASCULINITY in one photo.

If you have been listening to the news lately, here in my home state, Mississippi, you've been witness to all of the murdering that is happining in the capitol city, Jackson. It is scary, horrible, and a crisis all in one.

Some people are taking advantage of this crime to label minorities as violent criminals when mass shooters have one day of reporting and vanish. The thought is not to talk about THEM so as not to make shooters GLORIFIED. We believe this reasoning even though these shooters are usually White. But many believe white crimes are not reported on as much. They can be back at home for all the public knows. But minorities crimes are treated like the crime of the century. MURDER is a crime. But, how this crime is being FRAMED is the problem. Minorities it seems, are the ONLY criminals and must be taken care of.

There are four major factors contributing to violence, which can be fixed, attributing to this INCREASE in crime in AMERICA, not just MISSISSIPPI. Poverty is a major player in crime. Poor people are frustrated people, angry people, who BLOW form the constant pressure of finincial insecurity. That is a reason there is Black on Black crime in the POOREST neighborhods. Black men have no hope of providing for their family. 

Many CAN'T MARRY because they can't get a job in a racist society that has written off the entire race. They SNAP at the least thing while TRYINNG to have fun in a world that don't want them. Who are the poorest people in AMERICA? Minorities are the poorest and then blamed for being poor. I have began to say it's PTSD from being Black in America. We have the same symptoms as people who have seen combat just trying to live each day in racism.

If you are a person who believes being BLACK in America isn't an everyday job, on YOUR next application for ANYTHING, check the African American box and wait for a callback. Do it for a month, and watch your temperature rise. The higher prices go, the MORE violence there will be.

There is RACISM on a massive scale from the president all the way down to neighbors. The term "REVERSE RACISM" is being floated around by Republicans. White people are suffering because of their skin color. As a majority white administration cut what America was FORCED to do, HIRE at least ONE Black person in a business, guess who couldn't and WOULDN'T? Trump got rid of that law. NO ONE HAS TO HIRE ONE BLACK PERSON ANYMORE. Black History can't be taught. The Black vote meaningfulness taken by gerymandering the vote, and on and on it goes. OUR president even posted on social media our FIRST Black president as an ape with laughter and support from the Right.

 

Fatherless home has contributed to young men in our country joining hate groups such as the Proud Boys to street gangs. They are suffering from NOT having a good male role model. Manhood is slowly dying with Trump and Hegseth pulling the trigger. This has been a generation of LOST boys who are UNABLE to become men, so they become FERAL. From basement hate from a computer to drive by shootings, there is no MAN helping these young men to become men. Now Donald Trump is the ROLE MODEL FOR MANHOOD! God help us all.

Finally, our government INSISTS on letting these people have access to GUNS. Mothers are BEGGING for these weapons of mass destruction to be kept off the streets. Our government says they are needed for hunting. So, government, what is used for all these murders, can we at LEAST keep those weapons off the street? Violence is being supported by the ones saying it is out of hand. Make it make sense!

It has been months since many of the fears that prompted me to originally write this post, have now begun to rear it's ugly head. My military musings, have started to bear the fruits of my fears. I don't mean paranoia type fear nor anxiety ridden fear, it's more of a, "I knew it, but sad to see it's true, kind of fear." I took a chance and put my thoughts to paper (computer). How have your feelings about our military changed since the Iranian War began? Let's get caught up on our Department of War.

President Donald Trump on Thursday called for Michigan U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin and other Democratic lawmakers to be arrested and possibly executed over their remarks in a recent video urging members of the U.S. military and intelligence community to refuse unspecified illegal orders.

Trump is showing all signs of using the military for unlawful actions. He has demonstrated his lack of concern for American citizens and the Constitution. He has bombed boats, arrested American citizens, fired people unwilling to be loyal to him, accepted monetay gifts from adversarial countries, and plans ICE raids on churches. HIS lawlessness gas no bounds. His treatment of our military also shows he only cares about WHAT they can do instead of respecting WHO they are.

The Democratic lawmakers are just reading thw writing on the wall. But I wonder, how do OUR men and women feel about this looming possibility of receiving and being expected to carry out unlawful military orders?

What is it like for a person to decide to put on a uniform and serve their country? You are in luck. I made the decision to serve my country in 1986. I wore the uniform of the brave Army. I had a second oppotunity to serve my country in ghe First Gulf War which begun August, 7, 1990. The Gulf War (2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991), was a war waged by coalition forces from 35 nations led by the United States against Iraq in response to Iraq's invasion and annexation of Kuwait. From the first day I wore my uniform, until I was honorably discharged, my duty to my country grew with pride through the years.

We were told we represented America and the Army when we wore our our military uniforms and not to disrespect the uniform. Commanders would come and go, but that was fine, because we pledged to protect our country, not any one person.

All eyes were on the meeting summoning all of the generals by Pete Hegseth. An unprecedented meeting of over 800 US generals and admirals was held on September 30, 2025, at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia. The gathering was called by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with President Donald Trump also addressing the senior military leaders.

 America held its breath in anxiety as to what the duo would say to the highest ranking and caliber of soldier. By their past behavior, the public knew whatever the meeting was about, it was going to be a shocking optical display. The president and Hegseth didn't dissappoint scolding the brains of our military for beinng out of shape, fat.

My hearty sank at the humiliation of a room full of ALPHA MALES. They sat stoicly and took their bitter dose of kool-aid. But did they swallow?

In a surprising development, Adm. Alvin Holsey will step down as head of U.S. Southern Command, a position he’d held for less than a year. The New York Times reported Thursday that Holsey had voiced concerns about the U.S. military’s mission in Central and South America and the recent strikes on alleged drug boats off the Venezuelan coast. Adm. Alvin Holsey, happens to be a Black man and there have been esculation in attacks on boats in Venezuela and Trump giving Venezuela billions of dollars. Holsey's departure came amid tensions with Defense Secretary Hegseth, source said. Admiral is one of two Black four-star officers leading a US combatant command. Holsey's exit follows abrupt firings of other top military officers.

The meeting called by Hegseth of the generals was to let them know who is in charge and who they take their marching orders from. And they were to follow those orders without question. I wondered how did those who wear the uniform, worn it for years, feel about being told their alligiance no longer belongs to a country, but to a man, Donald Trump, and his ever changing vengeful power grab.

When joining the Army, soldiers take the Oath of Enlistment, which includes pledging to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic," to "bear true faith and allegiance to the same," and to "obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice". This oath is a commitment to the U.S. Constitution, not an individual leader. 

I don't know if our military has ever faced a MAN trying to have the service of the military for personal use. The military has been trained to PROTECT our country from attacks on our way of living, our constitution. The is an example in history when the military was used for genocide. Hitler used the arm of his military force to carry out the estermination of Jews for his personal reasons. No longer protecting the CITIZENS of the country but becoming the attacker. Many did not want to caryy out the orders, but they did. Many would be tried for war crimes when found.

I would have loved to have heard the discussion about the meeting by the generals. I know their egos were bruised by the public humiliation aired over and over on the news loop. I was proud of them sitting stone-faced through the scoldinng. But I wonder what was going through their minds.

I have always been proud of American's serving their country. Now, those in uniform have to decide to serve COUNTRY or MAN. We will have to stay tuned to see what our brave, honorable people in service choose.

No reaseon was given for the Sailor's resignation. It might have just been a DEI firinng in disguise. Donald Trump is getting rid of brown and black people in any position of significant power. Will White men join him or help the rest of ordinary people resist tyranical power? Take away a man's maculinity and he will serve you. Was Trump and Hegseth successful in their plant to bend the Department of War? Are they the captain now?

Tamara Stevens, a former navy cryptological technician, said she found Hegseth’s discussion of “lethality” more alarming than anything else, given the context that Trump provided later with comments about using deployments to American cities as a training ground.

“Basically, he’s saying that we’re no better than Hamas because people are joining because they want to break things and they want to kill people,” she said. “I mean, for anyone that’s been in the military, he’s not qualified to be secretary of defense. He’s barely qualified to be a host on Fox News. 

Gen. Chris Donahue, the commanding general of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, submitted his resignation on June 24, 2026, amid a broader overhaul of Pentagon leadership by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Many military officials anonymously expressed concern and anger. Some reportedly saw the meeting as a political rally and a waste of military spending, while others found the changes demeaning and a step backward for military readiness.

Hegseth’s "resign" comment came after he reportedly fired other top officers in the weeks leading up to the meeting. Some military leaders are reportedly considering their options for peaceful resistance, including legal action or resignation, while weighing the risks of undermining civilian control.

A YouGov poll found that Americans were about twice as likely to disapprove than approve of the meeting. The gathering was also widely seen as a "bad use of military spending". The poll also showed a strong partisan divide, with Democrats and Independents largely critical of the meeting, while Republicans were more likely to see it as a positive use of resources. The ACLU highlighted the meeting as the latest example of Hegseth pushing women out of the military. 

The event and the response it generated underscored deep ideological divisions over the direction of the military. It highlighted concerns about the politicization of the military and the relationship between senior leadership and the Trump administration. For me, the damage is done. You made Alpha men into Beta men if I understand the language of the Red Pill community correctly. I saw leaders of the military spoken to like children. Now, will they behave like children

 

Manhood; Vacuum Filled?

In the final weeks of Donald Trump's 2024 campaign, he found a new demographic eager for his attention to thier grievances. The demographic he found were young men, the angry twenty-somethings. Those who are jaded in the relationship feild and can't get a toe in the upwardly mobile economic part of society. This demographic have coalessed around the reason for their discontent with life and it's women.

I've written about the Red Pill society who blame the ills of America on women. They believe the courts side with women against men, divorce favors women leaving men poor. Women have taken all of the jobs and only want to date men with money and so forth and so on. Trump found them or they found Trump, but now they have bonded over taking rights away from women.

I've written a book on the subject, not demonizing the men for their feelings, but I ask them what are they willing to do beyond complain or adopting ideas of patriacrchy long left behind. The Bible is used to say men are supposed to be in superior positions to women because they are the weaker sex and God always intended for men to be in charge.

The Bible does address all human concerns and does speak of the roles of men and women. The most well known directive is for men to be head of their households which the modern man is advocationg. I just remind men the command is to SEPARATE from their mother and father. ESTABLISH THEIR OWN HOME. Then MARRY taking his wife to his established home and THEN have CHILDREN. Men left this command LONG ago. Women have waited and still wait for a proposal never to come. And most men move into women's homes and go from home to home to home. Women are not going from home to home when it comes to men. Women are the largest single mother household demographic in the U.S. and the most educated.

Manhood has been defined as a man being provider, protector, and procreator. Modern inventions make it possible for women, without muscle stregnth, to be able to protect and provide also on a reliable basis. Once men stopped marrying, procreation became a woman's concern and medical technology allowed her to be in charge of procreating. In an effort to set things back to the need for men to protect, provide, and be in charge of procreation, Donald Trump found a new audience, men who feel powerful dominating others, especially women.

Men were and are protesting verbally women no longer need men because they are MEN now and not feminine or womanly any more. Women are coarse, rude, independent, and dismissive of men. Thus feeling and believing manhood is disrespected and dead as far as a woman is concerned and they are tired of America becoming feminized where women are men and men are women. They believe manhood is under attack and there is a war between women and men that they plan to win.

There is a vacuum as far as manhood is concerned. Manhood has been interrupted several times in history and at one time manhood was defined more on the feminie side than the normalized masculine side. Men with money were gentile, romantics, leisurly, and fashinistas. Men always look up to other men with money. Trump gives men the type of masculinty they desire - don't give a shit power and rich; the ALPHA MALE.

Toxic masculinity refers to a set of negative societal pressures on men that promote harmful behaviors such as violence, emotional supression, and dominancce over others . These behaviors are seen as a rigid and extreme version of traditional masculinity that can harm both men and society. Examples include telling men to "man up," using violence to solve conflicts, and devaluing women or other perceived "weaker" traits. Putting women in their place is an objective of Trump and his younger followers. Women's rights are attacked and going to be attacked by Trump's administration.

In the movie, "The Handmaids Tale," Women who were married lost acccess to their bank accounts and their money was transferred into their husbands accounts. The woman's ability to produce and bring forth life and live Godly, was the central focus in the newly created society depicted in the movies. We are closer to this reality than I am confortable with. Trump has called on the women of America to rest assured, he is here to protect them and he is making the streets safer for wives to walk down them and be safe, not needing their husban's protection. The character of women without children has been discussed as a person who shouldn't have voting rights since they have no 'stakes' "skin" (children) in America. Yes, women's voting rights soon can be gone in Trump world.

So, for many men, Donnald Trump has filled the void of men being ignored and made powerless by women. He will set things right lifting manhood back to its glorified status. Women have rebeled under their compassionless control several times in history. Manhood is not under assault, just another redefining as advanced technology demands. 

The battle between the sexes is a reflex reaction or response. America is undergoing growth pains. We are a young country in our teenage years, striving to mature beyond childish wants, desires, and perceptions. Its time to think of more than ourselves and many are not willing to grow up. They are moody, grumpy, withdrawn, unable to verbalize what is going on with them. As teenagers, we all know more and better than the grown folks and will take our ball and go home when we don't get our way.

This is the ADULT-child leading our country. He sees no farther than himself. The young angry men serve his purpose. He loves the uneducated and angry person. He won their vote and now these young men are watching the adults in their family suffer and still harbor anger at their number one desire, WOMEN. 

Trump is the perfect man to lead confused men into violence to get their wants and desires. For them, nothing else has worked and it will require self-work to make THEIR situation in LIFE better. But, through their weakened mental state, THEY look for a hero, a superman, to make things right quickly, with decisive actions. In Trump they have aligned with a supervillian who will cause the object of their desire to become sad and bitter. Not the loving submissive woman their masculinity craves.

Young men may feel angry at women due to a complex mix of societal pressures, emotional suppression, and negative social interactions. Traditional gender roles often discourage men from expressing emotions other than anger, leading them to misdirect feelings like fear, sadness, or inadequacy. Some may also react with anger due to perceived mistreatment, a lack of romantic success, or the influence of anti-feminist online communities.

Two qualified women, Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, ran for president and both lost to Donald Trump. This speaks volumes. America prefers an underqualified MAN to a COMPETENT WOMAN. That's how the American man is being perceived. Education is TABOO. Brute stregnth and power is to be admired. Manhood is in CRISIS, but not by a woman's hand. Trump IS the dumbing down of America, not masculinity.

Do Republicans BAIT the Mentally Ill?

Have you noticed how Republicans pick a lie, circle it, stick to it, repeat it until it becomes the truth? It's so brazen, it is difficult to miss. It is done so often, until it is easier to pass lies off as truth. This is because there are certain people waiting to hear and be triggered by certain words.

Certain Mental Illnesses come with certain characteristics. Depression and anxiety cross lines and become a PART of several diagnosis. Paranoia and beliefs in conspiracies, fall in others. But there are mental illnesses which are characterized by a feeling of grandiosity, which is often seen as arrogance or a larger dose of self-confidence. In Mental illness, the everyday emotion is heightened or lessened in a person until it interferes with daily living. In today's ORCHESTRATED polarized climate, EMOTIONS are heightened to the point of becoming MENTAL ILLNESS.

What does a sense of grandiosity have to do with the Republican party and Donald Trump? Well, they use dog whistles to bring out the worst in people and flattery to make people believe they are better, smarter than others and the only KNOWER of TRUTH. This playbook is used daily and those who emotions are heightened, become susceptible pawns manipulated by calculated trigger words. Words the Republicans are using to describe the No King Rally scheduled for the weekend of October 19, 2025.

One leader of history had feelings of grandeur and spoke to that part of other men to enlist their help voluntarily at first, then under threat. Adolf Hitler displayed grandiosity as a central aspect of his personality, fueling his actions and worldview. This trait was so pronounced that many retrospective psychological analyses suggest he exhibited characteristics consistent with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. 

Schizophrenia, is a disorder plagued by suspicions and conspiracies. The Republican party have many prominent leaders who speak about conspiracies, and they floated and maintained the biggest conspiracy theory of all, President Biden was never a legitimate president in 2021. This continued declaration was led by Donald Trump whose words incited the Capitol Riots of January 6, 2021. 

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental health condition characterized by significant disruptions in thought processes, perceptions, emotions, and behaviors. It is typically diagnosed in late adolescence or early adulthood and is characterized by the following symptoms:

• Delusions: 

  False beliefs that persist despite evidence to the contrary. 
• Hallucinations: 

  Sensory experiences (e.g., hearing voices, seeing things) that are not real. 
• Disorganized thinking and speech: 

  Difficulty expressing thoughts clearly, making connections, or following a logical sequence. 

Many of Trump's followers will quickly tell you, Biden stole the election from Trump without any proof but plenty of anger and outrage. This is what the Republicans want, not truth.

The Republicans count on those who have difficulty controlling their emotions and political violence is excepted by their supporters. The current dog whistle, preying on the vulnerable with their description of the planned peaceful No Kings Rally on October 18, 2025. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is leading the polarizing rhetoric aimed at a specific audience for a specific outcome.

Speaker Mike Johnson called it a “hate-America rally” that will ​​draw “the pro-Hamas wing” of the Democratic Party and “the antifa people.” House Republican Whip Tom Emmer claimed that “you’ll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up” for the rally. Sen. Roger Marshall claimed protesters were being paid and suggested the National Guard might need to show up.

The "No Kings" march is a nationwide protest movement, organized by a coalition of progressive groups, to oppose what they describe as the authoritarian actions of President Donald Trump and his administration. The name "No Kings" is intended to convey the idea that the United States is a democracy and that the president is not above the law.

Yes. You can be assured Republicans, whenever they speak, are baiting the VULNERABLE. And I am saddened their bait is often shielded behind religion and patriotism. Psalms 10-2 and 9-10, "In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises...He lies in wait like a lion in cover; he lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net. His victims are crushed; they collapse; they fall under his strength".  Psalm 12 points to three brands of deception, all of which Satan uses to keep people from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ. The three varieties of deception are: Vanity, flattery, and blasphemy. The light of the Gospel is salvation through Christ and transformation of the heart. The heart should ALWAYS demonstrate love for one another. 

Christian Republicans who have taken OWNERSHIP and DISTRIBUTION of God, have RIGTEOUS ANGER in their eyes and are not going to take it anymore. Through this righteousness, everyone is getting crushed. They seem to forget, "loving those who love you is easy" is found in Luke 6:32 and Matthew 5:46. These verses, spoken by Jesus, point out that even sinners love those who love them back, suggesting that this is a basic human behavior and not something that warrants special reward. The verses then challenge believers to do more by loving their enemies and doing good to those who hate them, as explained in Luke 6:35.
