Ctrl-Left Projection, pun assuredly intended

I want to thank Peak Stupidity's always helpful commenter Adam Smith for posting this video on his youtube channel to help us embed it here. From Mark Jeftovic of The Daily Bell, via ZeroHedge, comes this video taken by bystanders of a strange, weird sight, playing for our bemusement outside the Democrat National Convention.
"Grotesque" is what one Arjun Singh* of The Epoch Times calls it, as ZeroHedge calls it an Orwellian "Two Minute Hate". (Commenter Alarmist notes that it's actually a Three Minute, Seven Seconds Hate, due, as per Mr. Smith, inflation, I suppose. Never you mind.) To be fair, at least we don't have to sit in chairs, watch the screen and rant and throw stuff as if it were a more serious version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Then again, Eric Blair, aka George Orwell, didn't envision an endless loop projected onto the side of a building.
The 3:07 Hate this week is against Ingsoc, errr, DNC enemies of the week Elon Musk, Matt Goetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene (our all time FAVORITE non-UniParty member of Congress), and some Fox News people. I have no idea who the woman doing that particular calisthenic is nor do I the 2 men in the B&W footage near the end are.
The video was made, as seen by the logo which flashes occasionally, by an entity called Vjay Bombs. By their language against the Billionaires, most of whom are leftist (including a number of richies who spoke at the convention), their bringing up pedophiles, their use of that term "weird" again, and other phrasing, the video is a projection in more ways than one.
I'd never put much stock in the psychological phenomenon of Projection before, but I ran into a a pure form of it in a TV clip last year. It's really a thing. How does it work? I didn't answer that last time.
I would be glad if part-time psychoanalyst and German literary expert Dieter Kief could chime in on this. I'll take a stab at it. The ctrl-left is far out there these days. They have a real hatred for anyone who defends traditional society. Because the people they hate are traditional and don't do very many really weird or socially very out of the ordinary things, the ctrl-left people have to search for lies about us. You don't get any good material for lies by reading the facts, so they must search within themselves. They can be a very weird crowd, both the high-level Billionaire types and the lower-level perpetual university student blue-haired tattooed types.
Therefore, they search for evil behavior found within themselves and/or their peers and project this - on the wall this time - as behavior of the sane rest of us. The ones who make this stuff up aren't so stupid as to believe we are like them. They are lying. To blatantly lie, slander, and libel like this does take a personality with some problems... psychopathy comes to mind.
Even that very last part about hatred is a lie. Peak Stupidity, for example - we don't secretly hate these people. We OPENLY hate them, because they are evil lying sacks of shit. Project that up on the wall next time DNC!
OK, I got work to do. I don't always have time for these 45 minute hate posts.
* He may be of the Epoch Times and may be the guy that took the video for us. I don't freakin' know - X, ex-Twitter, doesn't make any of that info. clear to me. They've got @ signs and #'s out the ass, though, if that helps you any.

The Olympics, where a boy IS allowed to hit a girl
Posted On: Tuesday - August 20th 2024 8:34PM MST
In Topics: Genderbenders Bread and Circuses
I mean, if the International Olympic Ccommittee, the legacy of a 2 Millennial tradition handed down from ancient Greece, says so....
I'd almost forgotten this one. As with the other Circuses (often watched while eating unlimited breadsticks, soup, and salad), such as the RNC and DNC this summer, I was not willing or even capable of watching the '24 da-da-daaah!, Olympiad! (Actually, were I willing, I might have found a way, yeah, maybe at the Olive Garden.)
However, I imagine even our readers who also didn't watch it would have heard of the Genderbender nonsense that went on, especially this boxing story. I'm sure I missed a lot after this story, but all I got here is something I read saying Angela Carini abandons Olympic fight after 46 seconds against Imane Khelif.
The beauty here is that the whole article is a veritably Olympiad of Stupidity. I'll just go bit by bit:
[Caption below the quick video:] 'Testosterone is not the perfect test': IOC on boxer Khelif gender test controversyDid they even attempt the "pull down his shorts in the locker room and check for certain stuff" test? Maybe the guy did get THE OPERATION, but you'd see scars where the "trim" should be. Pretty obvious, but then, I'm not a biologist.
The Italian boxer Angela Carini broke down in tears after she abandoned her bout against the Algerian Imane Khelif after 46 seconds in a fight that sparked huge controversy at the Olympics.Women should not be doing boxing. I don't particularly like men's boxing, but I don't see how people appreciate women's. Is it just some Title IX thing?
[SNIP]
In highly charged scenes at the North Paris Arena, a first punch from Khelif dislodged Carini’s chinstrap and a second smashed against her chin and bloodied her shorts. After multiple punches Carini returned to her corner and raised her hand. She fell to her knees sobbing and refused to shake Khelif’s hand after the Algerian was declared the winner.
Carini said she had pulled out after being hit harder than she had ever been hit and feared her nose was broken. “I am heartbroken,” Carini said. “I went to the ring to honour my father.Seriously, by fighting in a ring? I think her father would have been more honored had she married well in a big fat
I was told a lot of times that I was a warrior but I preferred to stop for my health. I have never felt a punch like this.You were told wrong. You're not a warrior. Warriors don't stop fighting for their health and go into the corner weeping. Oh, and warriors are not women, practically by definition. Just sayin'...
The 25-year-old, from Naples, added: “I got into the ring to fight. I didn’t give up, but one punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I’m going out with my head held high.You did give up. Head held hi... OK, forget it.
“It’s not a defeat for me – for me if you go in the ring you have already won, regardless of everything else. I’m not here to judge.I guess because I've watched something like one hour in the last 25 years, I must have missed that they now have "Participation" platinum medals. No, the refs are there to judge. You lost. I see that Miss Carini meant "to judge" in reference to the masculinity of her opponent Mr. Khelif. Too scared to say anything? Some warrior there!
But these punches to the nose hurt, I said enough.”Saying enough is not giving in, see, or not... She's a bundle of contradictions, this Angela Carini.
Khelif stopped briefly to speak to the BBC: “I am here for gold,” the Algerian said. “I will fight anybody, I will fight them all.”Hey, if they're stupid enough to let you, sure, knock
Reem Alsalem, the UN special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, expressed her concern about what had happened. “Angela Carini rightly followed her instincts and prioritised her physical safety, but she and other female athletes should not have been exposed to this physical and psychological violence based on their sex,” she tweeted.Well, I mean, like, it's boxing. The idea IS to beat the hell out of people. But, I guess women are NOT as strong as men, is that what you're on record as saying, Mr. or Miss Alsalem? That sounds hateful and inciting. Better be careful... there's that British Police Commissioner. Can one extradite a UN special rapporteur, or do they have hypocritic immunity?
Giorgia Meloni, the Italian prime minister, weighed in [What weight class?], saying: “I think that athletes who have male genetic characteristics should not be admitted to women’s competitions …If you won't say the word "man" either, this stupidity will stand.
Before the fight The International Olympic Committee (IOC) came under fire for permitting Khelif and Lin Yu‑ting of Taiwan to compete in the women’s category at these Games. Lin is due to face Uzbekistan’s Sitora Turdibekova in a featherweight bout in Paris on Friday.Turdibekova, seriously? Granted, Lin and Sitora could be girls names, who knows, but they were both found to have XY chromosomes. OTOH:
“As with previous Olympic boxing competitions, the gender and age of the athletes are based on their passport,” it [the IOC] added.OIC. It's easy to forge chromosomes for each of our cells, but passports are impossible to forge - special invisible ink and stuff. Never been done.
The IOC also accused the IBA of changing its gender rules in the middle of the 2023 world championships. “The current aggression against these two athletes is based entirely on this arbitrary decision,...This aggression will not stand, man...

Update on 6 Million Dollar Flower Pot Road
Posted On: Monday - August 19th 2024 8:31AM MST
In Topics: General Stupidity Lefty MegaStupidity Student and other Snowflakes Economics ctrl-left
Sounds like a story from Old Shanghai, doesn't it?
(Thanks to Adam Smith for the meme.)
It may or may not have been a boring post to the average Peak Stupidity reader- no comments appear underneath - but I will still update our post Delivering the 6 million dollar flower pots of ~ 2 months back due to an interesting conversation with 2 guys that must be involved.
From Unz Reveiw comments, readers may know I ride a bicycle. It's not a sport for me, and I wouldn't even say it's a "recreational" thing. I've always liked to ride, and there are places easier to get to and park by on a bike, so I'll ride. I don't see myself as a fanatic, but I'll state for the record 2 things:
1) I'll break any damn laws on the books when it comes down to safety over the law.*
2) I try my best to get along with drivers, but yes, I did have a hockey-style air horn on my front fork for a few years. The propellant ran out eventually.
Anyway, 2 younger guys at the coffee shop recently admired my classic old bike as I tied it down to a tree. I had to tell them about buying it used long ago and "they made things to last."**, etc. It's like older guys talking about classic cars - beats trying to argue about the weather and whose fault that is ...
While with my friends, I heard these 2 guys chatting about that particular street being narrowed from 4 lanes to 2. I wonder (still, as I never found out) who the guys are, as they know some numbers about traffic flows. "ABC Street [the one in question] has 26,000 cars per day, and they're making it 2 lanes, while DEF Road has fewer, and they're widening that one to 4 [maybe they said 6]." Interesting.
An hour or so later, when leaving, I went to talk to these guys. I brought up, with no regard for possible tact required, the dumb $6 Million project they'd mentioned. "That's about 'delivering' State taxpayers' money here for what, paying Mexicans for 6 months?***". Surprisingly, the guys didn't get into the foreigner, OMG!, racial angle. Instead the one told me how very pleased I will be when this project is done.
"You'll be much safer riding. With only 2 lanes, the traffic will all slow down from 40 mph to 25, and there will be fewer cars. It'll be so nice for you!" Really? Will it be better on a jammed up street full of drivers frustrated due to having a tough time even getting on the road? What about the fact that I might be going somewhere, myself sometime, in a CAR, or maybe my wife, or other people?! This one is an important route for that direction, so traffic will have to divert to neighborhood streets with the stop signs nearly every block.
The guys were so happy for me, while I had absolutely no reason to be happy or to change my mind about what a total screw up this whole thing is. Who were they? I wondered if they work for that legislator that pushed this thing. I only remembered after getting home that they themselves had wondered about the narrowing of this road vs. the other one. The whole thing is really intriguing, and I hope I'll run into them again... if they don't get stuck in traffic and divert to another coffee shop...
* Hah, one of the dozen or so times I've gotten pulled over by Johnny Law on a bicycle involved the cop telling me about one law I'd broken. No. When I think back on that 1/2 mile I'd ridden till he blared out on his P/A, I'd broken 6 laws! What did I learn from this? What I learned was that these same 6 violations on that route are important for my safety, so, the main thing is, look for that cop car in that spot next time. That's all.
** Yep, American made, and I think I recall changing the "bottom bracket" once though. BTW, "bottom bracket" is one of the stupidest terms around. It's a bearing set for the crank, and it is in NO WAY a bracket of any sort. Pre-peak stupidity...
*** It's STILL not done.

White Riot - UK reporter Wesley Winter cucks out
Posted On: Saturday - August 17th 2024 8:09PM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Music World Political Stupidity People's Revolt
I've been trying to keep following the story of the UK riots (finally!*) against the evil Population Replacement Programme aimed against the British people. ZeroHedge has had a little bit. (I haven't visited the Gateway Pundit in a while, the clickbait and Hispanic pandering by Jim Hoft having turned me off after half a year.) The way media works these days, it's hard to tell if a story is being censored hard or it has just tailed off.
Two weeks back, in England Burning: Enough is Enough!, Peak Stupidity embedded a video of the riots as reported by one Wesley Winters. It was great to have a view into it all, but having any verbal reporting going on is not necessary. What he had to say regarding what we could all see around him was superfluous, and though Mr. Winters was generally unbiased, he still had somewhat of an agenda with his questioning of members of the crowd.
I was excited to see this next one, embedded below, from a week back in a town called Middlesbrough. Also in Yorkshire**, this town is across the island in the northeast direction from Southport, near the North Sea coast. Mr. Winter named this video This Is Not England: Enough Is Done. It shows young Brits in Middlesbrough trashing cars, some house windows, and generally raising hell in an immigrant, aka, Moslem neighborhood.
I really wish Wesley Winter had shut up with his commentary on this one. I'm not really a believer in much "controlled opposition", but I could see how that term could fit. To me, Mr. Winter completely cucks out here and, inadvertently or not, is on the wrong side, against the British people.
"Some kids are litrally smashin' windows. They're litrally young kids ..." Closed captioning was of some help here, as otherwise, these blokes' English is beyond me!
Look, I get the annoyance and criminality of random and misdirected violence. That was my beef with the fools that blew up the wonderful "American Stonehenge" Georgia Guidestones 2 summers ago. I guess they thought they were on the right track in fighting evil, but, nah, they weren't.
What we see in the video is an attempt to continue the country-wide protest started with the trigger of the stabbing of a dozen people, with 3 young children being killed by the offspring of yet more very-foreign immigrants. What are these young people aiming to accomplish? To me, the idea is to get the message across: Foreigners Out!. In Germany, they put that to the tune of a famous pop song, singing Auslander Raus.*** Maybe a lot of them just like smashing stuff, but there's a general justified feeling of anger behind it all.
Mr. Winter goes along commenting on how wrong this is, mentioning to his audience and to some of his short-term interviewees (everybody is moving) that the right way to handle this is to talk with their MP's (Members of Parliament). Is he that stupid? For half a century these MP's have been pushing the Population Replacement Programme, with no support from the average bloke like these guys in Middlebrough. Whether it's due to blackmail or straight evil, the ministers of "their" government are completely against them and have absolutely no interest in listening to their complaints.
What's the deal, "British" reporter Wesley Winter? Would you have gone along with a crowd of Moslem rioters telling them to stop throwing rocks, or how about if you'd been in America in the summer of '20 reporting on antifa Commies and black thugs? Why are White people not allowed to riot?
I'm starting to think that Wesley Winter made this video out of fear of getting in trouble with the Totalitarian British authorities, so as to cover his ass. "No, I'm not inciting. I was there to tell the White people to stop rioting, see?" Whatever the reason, I wish he'd get out there and film but shut his mouth the whole time. His words show that either he doesn't understand the big picture or he's on the side of the Regime.
I had hoped the momentum of these riots would build, as that is the only way, it seems, for these people to avoid J6 type treatment. I'm not as hopeful today, but who knows what's not being covered?
I'd heard of this Clash song before but never heard the song itself until a few days ago in a ZeroHedge post. I liked it at first listen!
White riot, I wanna riot.OK, that's enough of that. We'll have something more lighthearted, I hope, next week. Have a happy Sunday, Peakers. Thank you so much for reading and writing in!
White riot, a riot of my own.
White riot, I wanna riot.
White riot, a riot of my own
Black man gotta lot a problems,
but they don't mind throwing a brick.
White people go to school,
where they teach you how to be thick.
* I would say the same for America too. When will people get angry enough?
** ... aka, a big chunk of northern England, which long ago was one county.
*** I neither know nor care what the original inane pop song was, I get "auslander" because it's obvious, and I know "raus" from Hogan's Heroes.

Not her Daddy's Communism

Donald Harris, Kamaleon Harris' part-Black! Dad is from Jamaica. As one of the elites, he was not your typical Reggae Rasta-man that we tend to think of when anyone mentions Jamaica, mon, or plays bass guitar and skips a beat each time around. In fact, I read that Dr. Harris was extremely irked when his daughter recently had fun with her background, cackling "of course" to the question of any pot smoking in her past, as after all... you know.
However, I'd bet money that Stanford Economics Professor Harris, by way of London ('60), Berkeley ('66), Urbana-Champaign ('67), Northwestern ('68), smoked his share of the gangja. Need proof? Here:
Who's the little one? Oh, that one has become an American Presidential candidate some way or another ... He also looks the very part of a 1960s university Communist. (That picture has to have been from '64 or '65.) Let's see, proof on the Communist thing, well, look, when we're talking Berzerkely and Madison, I mean, come on! As further evidence, I submit to the record bio. information from Wikipedia, your Honor, if I may ... [reaches to the other tab to ctrl-c]:
... known for applying post-Keynesian ideas to development economics.So you throw some numbers into the software, then tweek it to come up with your ideology. But, they all do that. If the results show that Communism is the best, then there you go. You don't need to go visit the USSR, Cuba, or China to verify. Save the U. money on travel expenses and TRUST THE MODELS! Oh, and:
[SNIP]
His 1978 book Capital Accumulation and Income Distribution critiques mainstream economic theories, using mathematical modeling to propose an alternative model for thinking about the effects of capital accumulation on income inequality, economic growth, instability, and other phenomena.

So, leaving aside the question of the now-seen-to-be Totalitarian bastard from Minnesota for the time being, we have an American Presidential candidate who's father was a Communist. Is that OK? Yeah, I know America's Founders didn't foresee this sort of thing.* I don't think this would have flown as late as 2000 even, much less 1950.
However, we're talking the late '50s to the early '70s when Don Harris made the rounds of the hotbed (and other) universities doing schooling and teaching. Affirmative Action was around during the latter part, but he really must have had something on the ball, no matter his odious racial and Communist economic ideas. In other words, I want nothing to do with the man, but I don't think he's stupid.
His now grown-up daughter, however, is quite another story. She's picked up the Communism over the years, but never quite picked up the smarts to go with it... I mean NONE Of it.
I got to that article from Instapundit. Did you notice what publication that is? I sure didn't! This morning, I read this thing from yesterday, with Catherine Rampell describing how perfectly stupid Kamelion's anti-Inflation, anti-Price Gouging proposal is, before I looked to see what site I was on. I got pretty far in fact, until I saw the abject stupidity of writer Catherine Rampell herself to boot. Only then did I scroll to the top. Ahhhh, that explains everything.
(Instapundit) Glenn Reynolds had more of Harris the younger's economic stupidity pointed out too, something we'll have to visit with another post.
WWDHT? That is, What Would Dr. Harris Think, of his daughter now? It's great and all that she's all on-board with an ideology that's destructive to traditional societies. But, you've got to be smart about it! You have to read (at least the Cliff Notes for) Das Kapital and see how to explain how, never mind the disregard for human nature, Communism works for us all. You can't just blurt really, really stupid ideas that, well, yeah, are the gist of Communism, but are too obviously really freaking stupid. What in hell did your mother teach you all those years, little girl?
My man Jerry on the pedal steel guitar there wasn't a Communist, but I don't know about the other 3. They probably learned something since 1970. Karmakarma Kamelion hasn't learned squat. That's how AA works.
* The did foresee the foreign infiltrator angle and came up with the "natural-born citizen" stipulation. I guess nobody cares about that either.

Phyllis Schlafly, American Conservative
Posted On: Thursday - August 15th 2024 8:02PM MST
In Topics: Feminism History Americans Morning Constitutional
Phyllis Schlafly, born Phyllis McAlpin Stewart, was born a century ago today. (Hat tip to E.H. Hail) She died at 92, but we'll post this in memoriam, because there was no Peak Stupidity yet in September of '16.
I don't know what kind of press the late Mrs. Shlafly will get in this day and age. It was bad enough a half century ago when she was a known Conservative and anti-Feminist.
Though she was a wife and mother - BIG TIME, with 6 children by her lawyer husband Fred in Alton, Illinois* - Phyllis Schlafly was a political figure from 22 years old on up. It doesn't read as if her family background would have influenced her to get into politics, but she did graduate from Radcliffe College with a degree in Government. (Ahhh, geeze... no, no, this ONE time it worked out well.)
(I guess there were still 2 to come at this point.)
Mrs. Schlafly didn't make it far in her attempts at a political office. In 1952 she won the GOP primary but lost in the election for US Congressman (I think it would have still been called?) from Illinois. She tried again in '60 but she was soundly defeated then too. It was 4 years later, when Barry Goldwater was running in the GOP primaries, that she did what COULD have been her most important accomplishment. That was her writing of the short book A Choice, not an Echo to support Mr. Goldwater against the east coast squish** establishment. It would have been had the Libertarian/Conservative Goldwater won that election. (As it was, the book was said to have helped AuH2O win the California primary.)
What Mrs. Schlafly IS remembered the most for is her fight against the Feminist Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the US Constitution. Now, Peak Stupidity has stated that, after the Bill of Rights 10, the Amendments have generally, on the average, sucked. The ERA was about to bring that average much further toward the sucky side. Believe it or not, this proposal for the ERA predated Phyllis Schlafly herself by 3 years. By the early 1970's though, the Feminazis (h/t, El Rushbo) were gung ho on this one:
Section 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.It sounds so simple and eminently fair, but human nature and the sexes are not. Mrs. Schlafly's objections were women-centric themselves, having to do with conscription to the military, alimony, and child custody*** There are the usual reasons that the whole idea is ludicrous, as all real Conservatives could see. However, in the age of the "Battle of the Sexes" with Billie Jean King and that crowd, the ERA seemed like a shoe-in, but thank you so much, legislators of... well, it was a bit complicated:
Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
Section 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification."
OK, nice job, you guys in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Utah, and Arizona. Thanks, SOME of you legislators in the Carolinas, Florida, Louisiana, Missouri, and Oklahoma. Thanks for thinking twice, legislators of Kentucky, Tennessee, Nebraska, S. Dakota, and Idaho. You knew you screwed up the first go-around. You people in Virginia, Illinois, Nevada, and North Dakota, what was your freaking point, after the deadline?
Oh, back to the late great Phyllis Schlafly, there was more to her politically than a short book and her exhausting but victorious fight against yet another stupid Amendment. She was what's called a "Paleo-Conservative" now****. She was against all aspects of feminism, such as "marital rape", the "gender pay gap" scam, and pro-nuclear family. After the fall of Soviet Communism, she was against the US being in Bosnia, anti-UN, against activist judges, and most importantly, against the immigration invasion.
Peak Stupidity celebrates the life of the great American, Phyllis Schlafly.
PS: I mentioned the John Birch Society briefly in the previous post. Here's an interesting bit from wiki regarding the JBS and her 1964 book:
Schlafly had previously been a member of the John Birch Society, but quit, and later denied she had been a member because she feared her association with the organization would damage her book's reputation. By mutual agreement her books were not mentioned in the John Birch Society's magazine, and the distribution of her books by the society was handled so as to mask their involvement. The society was able to dispense 300,000 copies of A Choice Not an Echo in California prior to the June 2, 1964 GOP primary.That was a bit of a squish move there, but it sounds like the JBS did the practical thing.
* Across the Mississippi from St. Louis.
** The Bushes and Romney's of yesteryear. Hell, they had a Romney and a Bush too, come to think of it.
*** I wonder what she thought of the latter 2 aspects after no-fault divorce. Perhaps anti-Feminist does not always = pro-men.
**** Though she was a delegate for George H.W. Bush over Pat Buchanan, so WTH was that all about?

In Topics: Liberty/Libertarianism Healthcare Stupidity Guns
This might seem like yet another curmudgeonry post based on one set of surveys taken for one visit to the pediatrician, but that's not the case this time. This is one of our less frequent Libertarian-oriented posts.
Do you all remember the beginning of this deal in which various government and other organizations became tools of the Anti-Amendment-II forces? I'd call it "mission creep", but that term implies other motivations (the desire for expansion and more power). The CDC cared about guns all of a sudden, cause "gun deaths". Do they have an anti-driving-and-texting program? (Who knows? Maybe they do.) Credit card companies got roped in, or caved in, to stopping transactions involving gun stores. Anti-Constitutional forces have tried all manner of backhanded methods to push through their agenda so as to avoid being obviously wrong in the spotlight.
Back in the 1990s, as I recall, I'd read about this practice in healthcare in which parents would be asked about guns in the home. What was the point of that? The more paranoid among me, errr, us, might wonder if that information stayed in files of that doctor's office only. Of course, I'd tell them to piss up a rope if ever asked, I reckoned, but I've been mostly in Conservative areas in which they wouldn't dare. (Not good for bidness! Not at all.) However, I didn't expect web portals on the internet. Nobody DOES!
When I got to the question above, I kind of blew off the part after "your home", realizing that the rest of the question refers to what, say, Phylis Schlafly, to pick a random Conservative lady, would have called "broken homes". Keep that in mind for a bit. So, there you are. There was my chance to tell them this was virtually none of their business.
(√) Decline to answer... hmmm, would that answer put me under suspicion for being one of those crackpot Libertarian Dads, the kind who make their children write papers based on John Birch Society articles? Yeah, I did, but putting this into a computer database rather than just leaving a paper form blank* bugged me.
I'd rather bug them instead. Thinking only of our own house here, I thought the answer (√) Unsure should really freak someone out back in "Data Collections". "Wait, what, you don't KNOW if you have a gun in your house?! Where'd you see it last?"
"Well, it could be under the mattress, but then we went to the range. So, we might have left it out there, or in the car, or...." That's not exactly the situation. It's more like, to be honest here, I have rounded up some guns recently that I didn't even remember buying.
So my answer to screw with the system was (√) Unsure (When will I get the tattoo? Why come I don't have ...?), but a straight answer would have been
* If it came down to "Sir, you missed this one question", I'd have either nicely told them they don't need to know that or gone the "What? Your lips are moving, but there's nothing coming out. Alright then... we gotta go." route.

This post is related to our recent one titled It's portals all the way down! in that the image above is from the doctor's office survey. However, we present a different, more basic, form of stupidity today. (The reader may see this already from the image above.)
There were a LOT of questions - maybe it was 100 questions rather than only 50. First rule of Kid's Medical Portal Club: You don't give them any information that may be used against him! Granted, allergies, medications, and that, yes, you enter it correctly. This was a long survey that was obviously about his mental health. He's fine. So, I answered every question with "NEVER", of the 3 options. Otherwise, I wouldn't be surprised to be told we needed a follow-up visit. Hell no, we were just trying to get him on the
The problem was, look at the freaking English there! Did a Woke hire write the questions? I mean, that's better than having xi actually writing software, and it still allows for "
So, what I was ebonically saying here was "No, this kid don't never listen to no rules." and "He don't never show no feelings." That's not really the case mentally - he's fine, but "NEVER" is what the software wants. Scholastically, however, they weren't testing the kid, but he's got these portal people beat my a mile.

Rotherham Riots: Scenes of the hotel "guests"

We've been phoning it in lately, for reasons...* Today, we'll comment on a few more images from the riots last week in Rotherham. I realize that this was just one of many incidents (and hopefully many more going forward). However, I watched an hour and a half of that riot and got lots of thoughts in my head.
So, this post and one more will be the end of that. We'll have more on the Totalitarian reaction of UK authorities and maybe some suggestions for the future.
Here are scenes OF, not at, the hotel - one of a multitude - that houses
(Some good rock throwing by the rioters got the fake stucco and some upper floor windows.)
These look like gangster hoods, but, see, they haven't assimilated yet. Pretty soon they'll be regular British yobs, committing violence only at soccer games... when there's a Moslem player fouled ...
I felt pretty good seeing that picture. Is it possible that, upon looking out at the mayhem and seeing the smoke below, they might have been having thoughts for the 1st time that not all British people will take this invasion lying down... and thinking of olde lost England? Not everyone is a pushover, young thugs. That is, if their very own government doesn't force them to be.
Yes, the White British people are raising hell down below and threatening you harm. Good. Suck it!
These 2 hotel guests look out with curiosity. Is there a way out? Would they get their asses kicked on the way out? Could they get their asses kicked out of the country even, worst case?
It's a kid and a brother, Dad, sister, I dunno, making alternate use of that Arafat style Italian restaurant tablecloth headgear, such as even the RHINOs don. I don't want to see a family hurt, but then, the PRP's plan to Islamify Great Britain has and will hurt many MILLIONS of British families.
Whose country is it? GTFO. Or, while you're up there still, use that Brit-government-supplied phone to text home with some of your new pictures. Let 'em know that maybe this is not the next best place after all.
Will the Moslem invitee-invaders wise up and realize who they may be dealing with in the future? I mean, they did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
PS: Just after I finished this post, my son showed me the Katrina and the Waves video for Walkng on Sunshine, AS IF... I might have somehow never heard that song before. Well, I remembered correctly that this was a British band. How #Sad, the whole thing, from 1985 to 2024!
* Haha, these days "phoning it in" has a new meaning. It could or should mean doing something with so little effort that you can do it on your ridiculous smart phone keyboard.

I guess that non-partisan watchdog group wasn't available for comment this time.
Let's also note that, contrary to what his press spokesragdoll said, Bai Dien had the IRS cracking down with a new "Service Industry Reporting Program. I wonder if the IRS has got their 87,000 new employees on line yet.
As Peak Stupidity commented when Trump proposed this move a couple of months ago, taking action on this is really a function of Congress. That should be especially obvious in light of the Chevron v Natural Resources Defense Council ruling. I'd like to see it happen, one way or another, but I think the IRS won't remove its grubby hands from this income, or else, what's next, teenage boys who mow lawns?! For those not wanting to be under the jurisdiction of the IRS, there's cash.

If you assume that the attempted assassination of Donald Trump happened just due to pure stupidity (I don't), the feminism and wokeness* were surely a big part. That there were women in Trump's Secret Service detail to begin with**, and from what we saw on video, didn't work out so hot.
They and the proponents of Feminism don't want to hear that they are not cut out for this type of work. It's not just size, but mental and emotional differences too, that matter. I noted this just looking at the cute face of this lady cop - at least I think she is, as these bulked-up body-armor suits don't exactly show off their bods - at the Rotherham Riot.
This screen shot if from the latter end of the hour and a half, maybe 1:15 or so. It's around the back side of the Migrant Express hotel. As a small contingent of cops faced off a similar sized group of rioters, there was some shoving. This lady simply looks like she wants to go home and have a good cry. That's the difference between men and women. She shouldn't have been there... but, but, grrrlll power!!
Adam Smith has kindly put a video up on his youtube channel with a display of more Authoritah-tive grrrlll power!

Dr. Rock on Financial Musical Chairs
Posted On: Saturday - August 10th 2024 10:07AM MST
In Topics: Elections '16 - '26 Trump Global Financial Stupidity Economics The Future Karmakarma Kameleon
In the comments under our recent post Crash, my ash, Old Soldier spelled out the deep financial hole we are in already, with no good way out. I agree. That post of mine was a comment of the state of "the market" only. The big wigs care about that money, but also, what's left of the Middle Class sees those fund numbers in their 401-k's, IRAs, "market funds", whatever, as showing they are doing OK. When those numbers go way down, they see that they are not nearly well-off after all.
Anyway, Ron Paul's recent column on the debt had only 16 comments on The Unz Review, so I perused them. I remember the guy going by Dr. Rock as always having good comments on that site in general and particularly on Steve Sailer's blog. This comment of his*.is related to elections, and the general pointlessness of it, economics-wise [in its entirety, unedited]:
*****************************************
Every administration plays the game of kicking the can down the road, in the sole hope that the entire house of cards doesn’t collapse white they are in office, or too quickly after the leave office, lest it be blamed on them.
Nobody wants to be the guy (or girl) that decides to address it, because they don’t want to be the administration to inflict the barbaric levels of austerity it would take to address it. They also don’t want to be responsible for firing half of the federal government, or taking a ax to welfare, food stamps, medicaid, medicare, social security, military spending, international aid, and the hundreds of billions on pure pork that we dole out as part of the grift-graft-campaign contribution scam.
Their only hope is that whenever it finally blows up, and sends us into a deep depression, hyper-inflation, and complete global financial collapse, that it will be on someone else’s “watch”, and every President and Congress that came before, will act like they had nothing to do with it, and it was someone the sole fault of the people in power at that instant! (probably for more short term partisan political gain) “The Democrats mismanaged the economy!”
One of the reason why it will never get “fixed” until after everything collapses, is because multiple administrations and Congress’ failed to do anything about it for decades and decades, and now, it’s too big for any one generation to take on!
Moreover, unless you are also willing to destroy the Fed, and end Central Banking, and the entire fiat currency system, you won’t really be fixing the problem. You’d also have to eviscerate the phony casino stock market, derivatives market, bond market, “every” market… total annihilation! (You’d also be labeled as the the most destructive world leader since Adolf Hitler, and in a way, they would be right, because you’d have to be willing to basically blow up the entire world, financially)
Also, how can we go back onto the gold standard, with hundreds of trillions, maybe thousands of trillions, in so-called “circulation”? (under MMT, it might be INFINITY TRILLIONS) Gold would go to $1,000,000 an ounce, maybe higher (I have no idea, because we’d be in Armageddon).
Ergo: Everyone just “plays along”, like it’s all going to be okay (until it isn’t).
However, that Everything Bubble is out there, and growing, and getting ready to “pop” one day, and just like the past manufactured crisis got us central banking, the next one will get us CBDC and Social Credit Scores, and a complete surveillance state.
*****************************************
Unfortunately, Dr. Rock is right on the money. The people he describes here are, I assume, those behind the scenes. Kamelion is much too stupid and a solipsistic narcissist to understand this financial picture. Trump, OTOH, can understand this stuff well enough, but he would be sure he can fix all this on his own, in 4 years, never mind the century-and-a-decade-long existence of the FED and the number $35,000,000,000,000.
PS: "Musical Chairs" was the old ZeroHedge's way of putting it, back when I'd read the site thoroughly a decade ago.
PPS: There is one slight matter I disagree with Dr. Rock on. That is, the gold standard and million bucks per ounce or not, what's the difference? The thing with gold is, an ounce is an ounce. Whatever number of green pieces of paper or bits on a computer it can "trade for" doesn't mean much.

Mediterranean Cuisine Peak Stupidity Trifecta
Posted On: Friday - August 9th 2024 5:03PM MST
In Topics: Curmudgeonry Economics Inflation Customer Care
Wow! In addition to being a "pop-up" Peak Stupidity Curmudeonry post - not one of our posts that is waiting in the wings - within 5 measly minutes, 3 of our niche topics presented themselves to us. The Zen of Stupidity, it was.
I attempted to get some reasonably healthful food at the hub airport. While avoiding Wendy's, Chick-Fil-A and all that, I came to a place I frequented a number of time ~ 6 years ago, while doing a lot of traveling through there. Mediterranean folks eat well, don't they? I could pretend it's healthful anyway, and it was so tasty. Also, they dished out a lot of grub, while getting me out of there for 8 to 9 bucks, tax included.
1) INFLATION: You know the drill here. It's difficult to avoid the accusations of cherry-picking, though we've never actually done any apples-to-apples comparison of cherry prices;-} We've had plenty of discussion of the BLS inflation "basket of goods" and more, so it's not all just random outrage. Anyway, I notice what I notice. After having enjoyed this food a number of times, I noticed the prices up $2 after a year or so and, probably worse in terms of value, the portions had gone down to 75%, maybe less, of what I'd previously enjoyed.
That was it. It had been nice while it lasted. I just came by after ~ 5 years though. Now, for that same type of meal, one isn't getting out of there for under $19 after tax. Hit me, Money Chimp: 14% average annual inflation taking into account compounding. That's off on the low side, as I didn't take the portion size decrease into account. If the quantity of food is only down by 25% (I doubt that), we get 19%!
2) COMPETENCE: This subject that we've covered for a couple of years now is called a "crisis" of competence often. I don't like that usage, as crisis has a connotation of something being temporary. Nah, it ain't.
I was not going for that $19 meal, but it didn't matter, as the place was out of half the ingredients anyway. This is a big hub airport - they are just throwing away money in rent. Customers in front of me were being told what was missing and then dropping out of the line. There was no point. This was not the fault of the one diverse lady there doing the serving and check-out duties. (Their problem was more that there was no competent old White guy running the place.) I did notice this woman's plastic badge, though. I kid you not, it said "I don't know. I just work here.". That was always supposed to be in fun, was it not? That joke does not work here anymore.
3) CASH IS KING: Well, that was nice for me, at least. I had the place to myself, seeing as how everyone had bailed. I only wanted what they did have, that healthful Mediterranean snack of a small cup of hummus and piece of pita bread, so this lady got to it. She put it on a plate.
That'd be "this many dollars"* was pretty much it, as she just pointed to the card reader without any price stated. I handed her a fiver. "No?" "It's card only." "How much is it, 3 bucks, right? Here you go." (I didn't care where the money went.) No can do. She stood firm, so there's a piece of pita bread and some hummus sitting there, or already in the trash. I've got cans of tuna fish, so ... it's all GOOD. Is it?
How can Peak Stupidity keep up with the news today, as we ran into a Trifecta of Stupidity.

Rotherham Riots: Two-Tier Policing
Posted On: Thursday - August 8th 2024 12:03PM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Globalists Anarcho-tyranny World Political Stupidity People's Revolt
(Continued from Enough is Enough! - - The Rising of the Yorkshiremen and The Cops.)
To the right in this image, the Rotherham rioters had just busted up that narrow plate glass window, using asphalt, stone, and wood as their implements of destruction. That opening got them to the hotel's lobby, I guess, as they were able to pull out various chairs. The small contingent of cops there, with their helmets and shields, were up against the wall, but they could have easily walked off to the right. A large number of them were around the corner. There was nothing stopping them from retreating but their "duty" to the realm. They weren't stopping the hotel from getting smashed up through a cinder-block wall (not bloody likely) either, as the rioters could already get in.
When it comes down to it, other than that these cops were in the way and acting traitorously toward their countrymen, I don't think the rioting Brits hated them here. The former were just extremely angry, having been at wits end for years, no, decades, in trying to stop the cultural and physical destruction of the UK. Enough is Enough! Chairs and rocks gotta fly. (Stuff has to burn too - that was later.)
The hate could be for the masses of alien Moslems, people that should not have EVER been residing in the UK like this. This was a *** hotel they'd attacked, after all, one housing Moslem aliens at no charge. However, on calmer days, I doubt these White folks have much hate for most of the normal working-man Moslems even. The large proportion of the hate should be, and probably is, directed at the Globalist scum, such as newcomer, 20%-of-the-populace-elected Totalitarian Kier Starmer. Thing is, they couldn't get quite so close to 10 Downing Street, that's all.
Our 1st post on this matter pointed out the Orwellian biased press coverage. Something else that's been discussed, where one can actually discuss it, is "Two-Tiered Policing". That's the term in use over there, and Peak Stupidity ain't gonna change it, but (Sam Francis-coined) "Anarcho-Tyranny" is a better and more over-arching term for what's been going on in the UK. The use of Two-Tiered Policing seems recent to me, yet the "policy" goes back a long ways.
The British police have dealt with violent Moslem rioters over the years too, much more so, in fact, since that's who normally does the rioting. All it takes - just very recent events - is for a Moslem family's children to be taken by CPS (no opinion on the specific details) for riots to start, and then another I'd heard about involving a Moslem beating down a British cop at the airport. I suppose the cops will defend property against destruction some of the time - hard to get pictures showing otherwise, of course - but there's a fundamental difference.
These guys in Rotherham have the whole system after them at this point. Even were it not for the top-level J6-style Orwellianism, the local police will arrest and charge the normally (formerly?) law-abiding British people. The CPS incident resulted in the children being sent back. (Nice work! This doesn't work for White Brits, though) The 2nd one resulted in no charges on the Moslem for beating down a lady* cop, resulting in a broken nose. How'd the latter work out for a White guy who'd lobbed a piece of asphalt more accurately?
Maybe the general population of the UK hasn't been aware for as long as your VDare people and Enoch Powell, but they've had to have seen the drastic changes from the PRP for 2 decades now, and certainly 1. Why have there been no riots yet? There've been plenty of other incidents of Moslem/alien violence that could have triggered them. The reason riots like this haven't happened is, there you go, that Two-Tiered Policing, but more broadly, Anarcho-Tyranny.
Law abiding White Brits don't generally riot, 'cause, ILLEGAL. Were they to do so, they would and will expect and get that law & order, and in spades. That's what it is in a country with Rule of Law, inn't it, Gov'nah? Yet, the authorities won't treat aliens with same way, 'cause, FEAR. Yes, that's fear of the masses of Moslems that don't go so much for that Rule of Law business and also fear of being seen as anti-Woke, pro-White, and worst, anti-Regime.
Can you imagine if these people where White and one did ctrl-r's to the signs thusly: (Islam/Muslims = White People) (Crusaders = Invaders) (Jihad = Deportations) (Shaykh = J6 Political Prisoners)?
This outcry about Two-Tiered Policing is right and just and overdue. However, Anarcho-Tyranny covers much more that their term doesn't. These White Brits surely see it, but what about the fact that these foreigners, having invaded their land in boats or Chunnel trains, are being put up for nothing using their own hard-earned, hard-stolen tax money?! How about that these folks haven't been arrested for trespassing when they broke in to begin with? How about the taxpayer money used, not to at least, pay for deportation courts, but to help them get citizenship as part of the PRP?!
Well, maybe they'll come up with more terms to cover the rest. Globalism, Totalitarianism, Orwellian Police Statism, and, if nothing else, Communism, will surely do for now. I hope this fight continues... more on that score...
* Yep, we'll get to that post.

"We're going paperless.", I'm told, nearly every day now. No, you can't write a check. No, you can't bring the form in person.
OK, we can't continue to live in the '70s. I! GET! THAT! [/old FOX-era Tucker] What used to be "our website" is now "our portal", meaning, what? You can use the app, I guess and maybe cannot use a browser even? It just sounds more modern, is all... That's what it's about. "Don't have a portal? OK, Boomers!"
This particular portal was an entryway that led to our boy being able to play organized sports. It's paperless. Here went. I know longer pick anything but simple obvious passwords now, with too damn many of these things, so if someone decides to hack in and take him off the soccer team, so be it - it's nothing but Communist Kickball anyway.
Then, I'm in, through the portal. It wasn't too bad. There was then that "physical" page, so I got out the tape measure and the blood pressure machine, and put him on the scale. Ooops, but you've got to print this out, and, ooops, go to the doctor.... with... a form.
The doctors' office told us we couldn't just up and come in, because this boy hasn't been there in so long we gotta catch up.* That required going through their portal... cause, they're like... paperless.
This one was much worse. It'll require a 2nd post for some funny and PS-adjacent stuff, but let me say that "2 surveys" turned into 5, one of them with 50 questions or more. That was over half an hour. Through the portal, and around the 6 million dollar flower pots, to the doctor's office we go ... ♫ ♪ ♬
The one Doc I remembered from before, a good guy, was there on a stool in a common area typing stuff into a computer. Seeing as how I had a clipboard in my hand, I asked "I thought we'd gone paperless?" He liked that one.
To be fair, SOME of the papers on the clipboard were for insurance stuff. How lucky was I that I didn't have to get on the insurance company's portal!
It's simple, sonny, whaddya' need a refresher class?
Here's the original:
I read this on Instapundit first. To keep it short:
After a lecture on Cosmology, the Professor was questioned by a little old lady. "Your theory that the sun is the center of the solar system and the earth is a ball which rotates around it has a very convincing ring to it, Professor, but it's wrong. I've got a better theory", she said.
"And what is that, madam?" inquired James politely."
"That we live on a crust of earth which is on the back of a giant turtle."
The Professor decided to gently dissuade his opponent by making her see some of the inadequacies of her position.
"If your theory is correct, Madam," he asked, "what does this turtle stand on?"
"You're a very clever man, Sir, and that's a very good question," replied the little old lady, "but I have an answer to it. And it's this: The first turtle stands on the back of a second, far larger, turtle, who stands directly under him."
"But what does this second turtle stand on?" persisted the Professor, patiently.
To this, the little old lady crowed triumphantly,
"Why, simple! It's turtles all the way down."

Rotherham Riots - The Cops
Posted On: Wednesday - August 7th 2024 12:10PM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Globalists Anarcho-tyranny World Political Stupidity People's Revolt
Note: They'll be a handful of posts on the Rotherham riots in particular, among the widespread anti-PRP (Population Replacement Programme) riots going on in the UK. We'll concentrate on the video we discussed on Monday, but more good news will surely be proclaimed here.
Yes, this is all good news and something for the rest of the White Western world to enjoy and learn from. The British people can not fight the Globalist evil by voting.*. I'm pretty sure that realization is much of the impetus for these riots.
It's more than just good news. All this is glorious to see!
These guys are explaining to these police officers a number of things, much which is lost in translation to me. From what I did catch during this hour and a half (and other videos), the rioters, being for the most part, almost solely, the same people as these cops, want to reason with them as fellow Brits. Why are you cops out here in our faces today? Don't you understand that you are working completely against your own people here? What about our children? What about YOUR children, Mr. Starmer's enforcers ?
I know the much of the answers. Well-paying jobs. Pensions. There's more. Other than were it the women cops (fairly cute, I might add, but more on them later), I can see one of these guys feeling it cowardly to all march away, especially once the protest got more... riotous. These guys are decked out in their body armor, with helmets and plexiglas shields. This is not 1965 during the Vietnam War, with long-haired young ladies, and men, sticking flowers into gun muzzles. 6 decades later, the UK and the US are much more Police State-adjacent for that to happen.
Yet, rather than be a question of duty and honor, the "Domino Effect", and Lyndon Johnson's wanting o finish what was started vs. peace and quit-being-the-world's policeman", these people facing off are truly on the same side in ideology, culture, and blood... on EVERYTHING. That these cops didn't stand down or better yet, refuse to come out there at all, says lots about how our Regimes have have gotten control of society.
He was one of the many police officers that can be seen interacting (like that one!) with rightfully angry Brits outside the Holiday Inn Express housing alien people that day.
It's within a couple of minutes of the 8 minutes into the video I captured here that there's a younger cop - darker beard - who verbally agreed with the rioters. ( I caught some of it, but c'mon, please, blokes, speak fooking English!) He says something to the effect of agreeing, but then, there's a "but..." I don't know. "It's just our job, mate!" or something, he said.
Well, again, I tried to make out what I could***, but I noted the look on this guy's face. Can I tell from a face that a guy does not look like a dummy? He doesn't. He's got to agree with the rioters at some deep level, maybe even that they are in the right on this particular day too, in wanting to smash the hotel and wanting masses of foreign aliens OUT, out of the British lands. In this scene, it seems like this cop was mulling this over. (This was before things got heated and there was no mulling over anything.)
His walking off right there would be seen as cowardice only by those who miss the whole big picture. In fact, it would have been a very brave thing. It could have started a change in the action that day. One step of this sort would truly scare the BeJesus out of the Starmer Regime. It could be the start of Glorious Revolution 2.0!
Even more so than it'd be for an uprising like this in America***, in Rotherham, and other locations I've observed, the rioters and the local law are almost all one in the same in culture and blood. Will the cops decide to stay at the station next time? Better, yet, I'd love to see them join in!! The pressure on local cops from the Regime to enforce the Globalist PRP and to go Orwellian and Totalitarian on these "Far Right" "racist" "thugs"**** is tremendous, I'm sure. The Regime doesn't want things like this to keep happening.
Well, this post was to discuss "Two-Tier Policing", but we didn't get that far. This series about Rotherham will continue. As I've written, this is THE important story right now. Here's hoping it stays that.
* I didn't comment on this last time, but this traitorous scum Starmer got 1/3 of the votes cast recently and is now in charge of the country. As with these riots too, it's not the one thing (this one election).
** We'll have more on this, but there'd be a fundamental difference, IMO: Guns.
*** It was a little like listening to Peter Brimelow - same accent (northern England), come to think of it. Miss 1 or 2 words, and the rest turns to muck in my mind. Sorry! It's not you, it's me. ;-}
**** Sorry, but "thugs" always brings up ghetto dweller Black! folks in my mind. Can White people even BE thugs? What does Webster say...?

In Topics: Global Financial Stupidity Economics
Oh, it's coming, all right. However, this 2,100 point drop over 5 days, including the 1,000 point drop in one day is peanuts. Let's think proportions - out of 40,000, that's 5% and 2 1/2%, respectively.
I imagine there are financial people out there who've been in this business a long time. In the 1980s, those 2 drops would mean 90 points / 45 points. That'd be a "Big day for the Dow.", but no kind of news story. By fall of '87, the Dow had ramped up 44% in 7 months, but there was that October 19th "Black Monday" crash. "OMG, 508 points!" Not many stock brokers worked in tall buildings with working windows anymore, by 1987. So, we had that going for us ... but that one was a 22.6% drop. That drop would be an 8 to 9 thousand point drop today. (Maybe tomorrow.)
In the early/mid '90's, this 5% drop would be 200-odd points, and in the 8 year early 21st century market, we're talking 500 points. Do people not remember this?
Listen, this is Peak Stupidity. We've been all over this Global Financial Stupidity business for almost 8 years now.* 5% in a week, or 2 1/2% in a day is NOT a crash. We'll tell you when we're having a crash!... so long as GoDaddy has still got power...

The less we read of or hear from this ditz, the better. However, Kamakama Kamelion has gotten herself into this high position, and the subject of how do you plain get people like this, I mean just in the world to begin with, is hard to avoid. Essayist E.H. Hail has stopped avoiding it.
Mr. Hail gets into the psychological phenomenon he calls Solipsistic Narcissism, present in this woman and in women in general. See Kamala Harris and “female solipsistic-narcissism” in the political in 21st-century USA
I read it last night. Our friend Dieter Kief has chimed in already, and I'm sure Mr. Hail welcomes more comments.
