Like David Icke, I regularly get heckled – told I’m imagining things. Specifically, about how the government-corporate nexus plans to completely control vehicles; more finely, to use vehicles to control us. I have told people the “tech” is not just coming but that it is here.
I’m test driving it this week.
The 2026 Subaru Outback (and probably all 2026 Subarus) has something called Acceleration Override Assist embedded deep in its computerized guts. How does it “assist” you? It “limits engine power and reduces acceleration when the system detects the driver is attempting to accelerate into a potential collision.”
I italicize the entirety as a kind of primal scream that I expect few will hear.
A system that can “limit engine power and reduce acceleration” when “the system detects the driver is attempting to accelerate into a potential collision” can limit engine power and reduce acceleration anytime it so desires. It is merely a matter of programming it to do so – and that programming is not static because these cars are connected, as I have been primally screaming for the past several years. Meaning, the programming can be altered via an update – exactly the same way a smartphone gets updated. Meaning without you having the slightest say-so about it. The update is transmitted – and received – and that’s it. Your smartphone – and your car – are now reprogrammed.
Verstehen sie?
It is not just Subaru. It is all of them. Each brand has a different name for their particular iteration of this “assistance” stuff but the thing to understand is that all of them are going to “assist” you and most pf them already do. There are a handful of straggler exceptions, such as the 2026 Dodge Durango, which is an exception because it is ancient. The current/2026 model is basically the same as the 2011 model. Fifteen years ago, “assistance” was rare and far less capable. Early iterations of “connectedness” (e.g., GM’s OnStar system) have been around for more than 25 years, going all the way back to the ’90s but they were limited in their capability to exert operational control over vehicles that still had mechanical controls governing the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal and when steering was not electronically controlled. All of those things are now electronically controlled and computer-controlled.
As I have been primally screaming about for several years now, you have the illusion of control over your car’s engine and its transmission and its brakes (and now its steering, too). When you push down on the “gas” pedal, you aren’t opening or closing the throttle; the computer is. The computer can thus control whether to limit engine power and reduce acceleration. Irrespective of your wishes – or inputs. It is the same with braking, which is now something the car does when it decides to. You have the illusion of control. Just as it is an illusion when you think you have moved the gear selector from Park to Drive. All you’ve done is asked the computer to engage Drive. The computer could just as easily decide to keep the transmission in Park and there’s not a thing you’d be able to do about it.
Most new cars have electrically-assisted and computer controlled steering. Let it sink in.
The Subaru also has what is styled “drowsy/distracted driver” assistance. Soon – in a few months from now – every new vehicle will have this because the feds say they must have it come 2027. What is it? In the Subaru – and in many other makes that also already have it – it is an eye-movement monitor that constantly watches your eyes with electronic eyes. When the system decides (according to its programming parameters) that you are “drowsy” or “distracted,” a pestering pop up illuminates in the LCD instrument cluster, admonishing you to “keep your eyes on the road.” This assumes your eyes aren’t on the road. The expectation – the training – is to get people to mindlessly stare straight ahead like a blinkered horse.
This pop up is accompanied by a harassing chime. In time, it will be more than just a chime. The logical next step will be an override – because it follows in the same way it follows that if you were willing to accept wearing a “mask” then you’d already conceded the need to get the injection.
Verstehen sie?
Most did not.
Many apparently still don’t.
What they call Lane Keep Assist is of a piece. For now, the override is merely annoying; a slight contrary tugging on the steering wheel if you dare to make a lane change without signaling (it is mindless rule-following to signal when there is no need to signal; it is mindlessness that’s being trained into people). Well, when the car can limit engine power and reduce acceleration for one thing it can just as easily do it for anything, such as any deviation from what will be insisted upon as mandatory “safe” driving practices. The mandates are already being enforced by the car, which is controlled by its connectedness.
Steering override “assistance” is coming.
All of this has been coming a little at a time over the past decade or so but now it is coming much more rapidly – because it is all coming together. Literally. Subaru’s Acceleration Override Assist works “in conjunction with Pre-Collision Braking and Automatic Emergency Steering to help avoid sudden obstacles.”
Sudden disobedience is the real target.
As just mentioned, all new vehicles will have “drowsy/distracted” assistance tech come 2027, which is almost here. Come 2029, they will all have to have Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) which is inherently much more than just that. If the car can brake automatically for an “emergency,” then it can be programmed to brake for deviations from “safe” driving practices, too. Such as “speeding,” for instance – and that will hardly be necessary since Speed Limit Assistance is already embedded in pretty much every 2026 model year vehicle.
If you think this is all about keeping us “safe,” I recommend you stare deep into the eyes of Dr. Fauci (who is an archetype of the type behind all of this stuff) and think again.
And to think it all began with seatbelt laws. No big deal; just “buckle up”!
Well, here we are.

The elites have turned everyone into criminals, liars, hypocrites, and cowards.
The only good thing about living in a police state is that no one can take the moral high ground on anything.
If this is ever going to go away, it’s going to have to cost them more than not having it does.
What does that look like?
Lost revenue, expensive lawsuits, high warranty costs, etc.
Or you would have to outlaw it, but good luck with that.
Eric,
I would like to correct the following statement in you article.
“As just mentioned, all new vehicles will have “drowsy/distracted” assistance tech come 2027, which is almost here.”
Even though this is what congress wants it is not so at this time. It will not happen till NHTSA makes a rule on it.
Please refer to the “Aprill 2026 NHSTA Advanced Impaired Driving
Prevention Technology” report to congress for the most accurate and up to date information.

What is to stop this technology from speeding up too much, and crashing your vehicle-and possibly injuring or killing you? Or, this tech slams on the brakes, and you end up dead because the semi behind you did not anticipate such a move on your part for no good reason? Hell, at the rate these computer-on-wheels are going, there is nothing stopping any new vehicle from taking over the steering wheel, and leading you right off a steep ravine somewhere. Whoops…computer screwed up, sorry you ended up paralyzed or dead. I would say that if someone needs this many “saaaaafety” tech in their vehicle, they probably should not be allowed to drive, period. And then again, the ultimate goal is to get everyone out of vehicles, regardless of how skilled one is behind the wheel.
Morning, Shadow!
You ask: “What is to stop this technology from speeding up too much, and crashing your vehicle-and possibly injuring or killing you? ”
Nothing. Other than the restraint (god help us) of those who control the “connectedness.” AEB – automatic emergency braking – could just slam on the brakes of a press car I’m driving while I’m driving on a highway, with a big rig on my tail. No more Libertarian Car Guy. It makes me think a lot about driving these press cars.
It has already happened, Shadow.
In Los Angeles, several years ago.
I don’t remember the driver’s name, but he had been vociferously critical of someone powerful.
Johnny Cab drove itself nto a palm tree.
End of persona non grata.
Borrowing a Nancy Sinatra song long, “awfully sorry about that”. Just gives the rest of us even more reasons to detest such technology in our vehicles.
It might possibly, remotely, have something to do with Agenda 2030… but much more likely according to the geniuses on this forum, it’s all due to tiny hats. Let your 5 minutes hate commence. Let the hate flow through you..
I apologize. You only need to hate for two minutes, in the Orwellian tradition. Still, if you want to go for broke, you’re more than welcome in this echo chamber.
I hate them 24/7
Individualism and self reliance, creativity and gut instinct must be crushed to usher in a ZOG technostate. Small farmers and small businesses have been eviscerated. Every sheckel goes to some fuckin jew in jew york. How much shit will Goyim take before they stomp these motherfuckers? Germany comes to mind…they will not stop, until confronted. History repeats.
There is no way at this point for 2027 model year cars to have this required equipment because the technology isn’t “advanced” enough to even make the rules, the regulations to comply with.
All these various systems are going to become liabilities for automakers. People are going to be suing (successfully) that they drove them into collisions or didn’t allow them to avoid collisions.
I have a 2024 Toyota GR 86 (Subaru BRZ) which I absolutely love. Nicest car I’ve ever had. That said, I notice little things. I’m used to mostly driving my 2005 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport. Fun car to drive. So the GR 86 is the only truly modern car which I drive.
The other day I was driving through a construction area,which was reduced to single lane, with shifts onto the shoulder and back again. I had it in Cruise set at near the posted limit, my actual speed 61mph in a 55, as the lane shifted ahead of me the car momentarily cut power as it’s eyesight system likely detected pavilions ahead of me even though I was following the shifting lane. I’ve experienced this before in Cruise in other construction areas. This bothers me, it’s slight, so I don’t let it ruin the joy of driving and owning this car, but I would prefer not ceed this control to a stupid computer. I haven’t noticed this not in Cruise yet, but it’s a 24, so perhaps the technology wasn’t so intrusive yet. Also driving up our driveway, there was an area where vegetation way overgrowning into the driveway. There the car would peep at me, but wouldn’t hit the brakes. On the other hand, my friends 25 Crosstrek did slam the brakes when passing through this overgrown vegetation. On the other hand, the cars might just have been attempting to protect their paint. This trend of control seems to be everywhere we look. Not good.
What did Elwood Blues say…”Our lady of blessed acceleration don`t fail me now”…..Fuck these people its way past the time for mass non compliance. They can`t get us all.
“HAL! I was rushing someone with a medical emergency to the hospital!”
I’M SORRY DAVE. YOU CAN’T DO THAT.
So what happens if you buy a low-mileage 15 or 20 year old car today? Or a low-mileage 2018-2022 Mustang 5.0 (which I’m looking at)? I’m talking about purchased outright, not financed. Can they render a car without this Orwellian stuff inoperable any other way than taxes? Surely Jay Leno and Jerry Seindfeld’s car collections aren’t going to become worthless.
You can “brick” a 2004 Monte by just playing with the fuel injector system. I wouldn’t trust anything that has any on-line connection, even if it offers you the option to install (some of the) updates. And if this is a competent control conspiracy, there would be a second, undocumented transceiver.
Incidentally, if you make a habit of refusing updates, you are definitely going on a watch list somewhere.
Hi KMose,
Here’s what I predict is likely to happen: Once this “safety” tech becomes both ubiquitous and mandatory, they will use the insurance mafia to effectively outlaw older vehicles that lack it. You – the owner of the old vehicle – will get a notice that says your premium is now $3,000 annually (or more) based on the greater “risk” your vehicle presents. Since you have to buy insurance to be able to legally use the car on the government’s roads, you won’t be able to legally use it if you cannot afford the insurance.
Presto!
Speaking of which: I just got the renewal “offer” – I love the language – for the antique car policy I have for my old TA. It’s getting to the point that I am seriously thinking of cancelling it because I tire of these constant increases, especially for a car that I put maybe 500 miles on in a year and all of that within a 20 mile radius of my house. Fish heads for them, served cold.
I – like many others, I suspect – am on the verge of not being able to afford the “coverage.” Because of the cost of everything else. The thing that pisses me off second-most (the first-most being I am forced to deal with these mafiosi) is that I ought to be paying less rather than more since I have a completely “accident” free record going back decades, zero traffic tickets and five “plus” points on my DMV record. Yet each year, these bastards raise what I am effectively forced to pay.
I’d like to see them all caught in a bear trap and left to die slowly.
Hi Eric, et al,
You see the acts of coercive aggression all around us….whether it’s exorbitant fees for “insurance”, limiting supply of parts for fixing older cars, limiting access to real gasoline or making the purchase price of a new vehicle so high that only the top 10% of wage earners can afford them….but the market is hitting back….especially in the EV space.
The proles who still buy this shit are totally emotionally manipulated. The people who would be called Alphas and Betas in Brave New World, rather than being somehow superior actually occupy a sort of mindless slave mentality. I guess we are all savages……have a nice day…..
There is a way around this Eric but I’m certainly not going to put it on a Public Forum.
The rates keep going up because you and I are paying for all the other idiots on the road… and there is a substantial number or them. My insurance went up 400 dollars for a 2019 truck ,I have no tickets no fault claims over 46 fucking years!
Morning, Nova –
Yup. And I tire of it. I think we are at or near the point is assuming the posture of Al Pacino and saying: Fuck you! And stop paying. Let them do what they will
My antique auto insurance hasn’t gone up here in the people’s republic of Illinois. Sure it isn’t that they are covering the increasing dollar value of your TA?
Hi Brent,
Nope. It’s an agreed value policy – so the potential payout is the same. I am thinking seriously about cancelling. The risk I will wreck the TA is near nil. And I need the couple hundred bucks, to be frank.
Eric,
Please at least keep liability on the TA; if you injure someone, then you’ll be on the hook for that.
Hi Mark,
I’d buy liability coverage if its cost reflected the risk, which is essentially nil. I’d pay $50 annually for it. That’s about the most I can afford to basically just throw away. But the insurance mafia charges 75 percent as much for comprehensive as for liability. Never mind that my car is an occasional-use toy that I take out every now and then to drive around on local country roads, rarely more than ten miles from my house. The odds of me being in an at-fault wreck in this car are essential nil. I have owned the TA for 30-plus years without incident, so it’s not just me saying so.
The liability-only policy I am forced to buy to “cover” damages I might cause by driving my ’02 Nissan pickup has doubled in cost over the past three years. I’ve had no “accidents.” Not even a seatbelt ticket.
Mencken hated chiropractors. I hate the insurance mafia. It’s an extractive racket that has been instrumental in the enshitification of this country.
Eric,
I understand your sentiment and your situation. That said, I’m worried that this is an instance of being penny wise and pound foolish. One lawsuit could ruin you.
Hi Mark,
Yeah, sure. It’s possible. It’s also unlikely. Very unlikely. I’m a lot of things, but one thing I’m not is a bad driver. Driving an old muscle car helps with that, by the way. It’s not as if I’m new to the game, either. I’ve been driving this car for 30-plus years. Zero “accidents.” I think there’s a detectable pattern there. Now, maybe I’ll slide off the road if I break the rear end loose on a too-enthusiastic 1-2 upshift. But I am almost always the only car on the road on the backroads.
Point being: I’m not stupid or reckless. Insurance is something I’d willingly pay for if it were reasonable. It no longer is. It’s extortionate and it is that because it’s coercive.
Makes me want to say viva, Luigi!
Hi Eric,
Just a bit of advice (that you didn’t ask for). Do I understand you wanting to cancel the insurance? Of course. I have a feeling with the increased and unsubstantial costs it will probably be a decision that most of us will have to make in the future.
You are a grown man and are able to make your own decisions…just remember we have eyes on this forum that are probably piling up points on each of us to toss us into some stockade somewhere.
Laws are man made and the majority of them are stupid. I am all for breaking them…just not announcing that one is breaking them.
I am off my soapbox now.
True, RG – and, thanks!
I will say I am damned close to just not giving a shit, anymore. Like the honey badger. Playing by their rules is a sure way to lose the game.
Subaru. It’s always a Subaru.
It’s gotten to the point that whenever I see one on the road, it’s almost always causing issues on the road. Under the speed limit? Left lane bandit? Etc…. Yup a Subaru.
Prius’s are a close second.
I miss Brock Yates, too.
I miss the times Yates lived in.

Photo @ Jonny Lighning in Corona CA, many years ago.
Jonny Lighning’s yard is a feast for those who dig old autos, “project cars” as old as 1920s, and yes, 1960s muscle cars, to be completed as the owner has funds available.
Jon Kinne, the founder and owner, has my 1989 F150 at this time, waiting on a replacement ECM. The original ECM lasted 37 years, which IMO is not too shabby. It’s Intel, it’s swell.
Original engine (4.9L straight six) lasted “only* 25 years & 240,000 miles. Not bad for a Ford. Tranny is still the original Borg-Warner T18.
C&D has become nearly unreadable now for how infected with nonsense it has become.
I sent them emails a few times using the terms coined by Brock Yates. I am guessing they didn’t much like it.
Morning, Brent –
Yup. I’ve been in the same room with some of those guys. The new guys, I mean. I felt like the red headed stepchild I guess I am. And that’s ok with me!
I never cease to be amazed how much I can affect even a 2004 Monte with my Autel 900 series scan tool. All the car lacks is the connectivity, and I wouldn’t swear to that, either. It wouldn’t be that hard to switch from continuous contact to burst transmit/receive. Though I don’t know why they would have bothered. My prediction is that someday we find out they have had burst transmitters for a good decade, and are just waiting for the right time to enable them into “Come arrest my driver” mode. Which probably includes using the eye movement sensor to detect skin color and likely sex.
I suspect the real reason for the acceleration thing is to prevent you from disabling the look-ahead sensors for lane-keep assist and collision avoidance assist, and all the rest. Think the limp mode modern diesels have if you let the DEF go dry.
Incidentally, this complements Eric’s last automobile post. If bad actors had access to a hacked tool that could brick automobiles, they could find some less traveled road, then use AI to monitor the eye movement cameras and wait for an attractive young lady drive by. The seat sensors in the passenger seat could easily filter out those who were not alone.
You are a wicked man Steve….only kidding…you brought a smile to my old visage
Thanks. Yeah, I’ve been worried for a long time about this tech being ineptly secured, enabling the antisocial elements the ability to use it. Every story comes out makes me realize just how stupid the people running things truly are.
“You thought it was a good idea to put the controls for your water supply on-line? Seriously? Put ‘im in the chair. I’ll pull the switch.”
“Excessive acceleration” saved me from being T-boned a couple times over my many years of driving, that’s actual accident avoidance. Nice to know the PTB want me to be rammed without any ability to get out of the way.
yup, so now what happens, if/when we need to accelerate excessively to avoid a crash, and the computer prevents it? Who’s fault is the crash then? I guess, still the person that hit you, but maybe not.
Entering crazy world.
At the moment, by Eric’s description, some sensor package has to detect an imminent collision, likely only frontal. It would make no sense to disable acceleration if someone were about to rear-end or t-bone you.
It’s the whole fly-by-wire concept I object to, not the specifics.
I had to implement what they would call “excessive acceleration” just this morning. Was driving downhill from an off ramp onto a two lane (each day) highway. Looked behind my left shoulder, and there was a semi in the right lane. As I do not ascribe to the belief that they should “move over” and “let me in”, I slammed my foot on the gas pedal, and shot like a cannon to eighty. I had been going sixty at the time, speed limit on that road is sixty. Got way ahead of the semi in the merge-lane-that-ends before getting in front of said semi. I would have been screwed if a speed limiter had decided to “correct me”. Or, slam on the brakes. Good grief.
Excuse me, but when I was still driving, I checked both rear and sideview mirrors about every 10-15 seconds.
Same here, John. I was taught to check my mirrors often. Also, when driving on an on-ramp onto a highway, I physically look behind my left shoulder to make sure there is not a vehicle in that right lane. Many a times there has been, so I mash that gas pedal down, speed up, and get in front of said vehicle. A speed assist like what Eric is talking about would refuse to “allow” me to do so, and I would end up either hitting the vehicle, or getting run off the road.
He told you so 90 years ago…

It began with seat belt laws? Nah, pretty sure it started long before that, something that rhymes with ‘women getting the vote.’ We don’t call it the nanny state for nothing.
Ah, yes all those women that voted for old Abe and the worst President in history, Woodrow Wilson. The same President that established the Fed, the income tax, and put American troops into WWI…damn women…oops, we didn’t have the vote then.
I forgot how well men ran the world prior to 1920.
I’ll have to disagree with you RG. Yes, your are right to a point, but it’s far worse now with the large majority of woman’s ‘feelings’ vote. I wouldn’t put you or many woman I know in the ‘feelings’ category, but you are way way outnumbered.
Hi Chris,
Do you believe your vote counts? If yes, then a combination of men and women kept both Hillary and Kamala out of office. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
If you don’t believe your vote counts and the system has already selected a winner then the women’s (and men’s) vote means crap and doesn’t sway the “election” either way.
IDK what to believe anymore.
My goals have changed to paying much less attention to politics and ‘news’, and focusing on what I can do and change. It’s working well.
I’m even struggling with the negativity on this site. I despise bitching. I believe it’s a waste of time.
Hi Chris,
Then you are doing right. The focus should always be on our family, ourselves, and how we can leave the world a better place.
What goes on in Internet forums doesn’t change that. There is a big world out there that we have to face after playing keyboard warriors. 😁
As for the voting issues (if it really matters anymore?), IMO it should just be people that have skin in the game. How that is defined is debatable.
RG,
I’m not sure that our vote counts, either. David Knight is of the opinion that we have selections, not elections. He pointed to the transfer of power from Trump to Biden back to Trump. He went through how Trump pushed the COVID shot; Biden ushered in the mandate; now Trump is back in crashing the economy with his tariffs, wars, etc. Knight says that the powers that (shouldn’t) be select the candidate who can most easily advance their objectives. He likens it to WWE tag team wrestling…
Hi Mark,
I hope you are doing well. 🙂
I agree with Knight. I believe this was scripted from the time Trump came down the escalator in 2015. They needed a guarantee for the 2030 agenda. They got it with him.
Politicians don’t represent constituents and billionaires hate commoners.
Hi RG,
During COVID, the billionaire elite had hoped to get ALL the “Ordinary People” to take the “Safe and Effective” COVID jabs, but too many people saw through the MASSIVE propaganda and tried to get the truth about them out only to be censored or lose their job or license if they were an actual doctor. Why do you think government and corporate media engaged in a MASSIVE campaign to frame people who (actually) got the truth out about the jabs as “Dangerous Anti-vaxxers” or “Dangerous spreaders of vaccine misinformation”? It’s not just Tony Fauci who committed crimes against Americans during COVID; too many governors, hospitals, politicians, and “Public Health” bureaucrats dutifully went along with “The Science” despite “The Science” being SPECTACULARLY WRONG.
Many Americans have also lost their minds the past 6 years. They STILL think Tony Fauci is a saint who “Saved lives” and/ or that the only people who died during and after COVID are those who “Didn’t listen to Dr. Fauci when he said to get vaccinated”.
I have had a few nurses who (although not publicly), say they will not get another shot after the COVID fiasco. In a way, the COVID “pandemic” and the subsequent “vaccine” was a blessing in disguise. Not only did it wake people up to the dangers of vaccinations in general, but it also woke up a lot of parents who home schooled their kids then. Parents realized home schooling was better for their kid, and so were the lack of mandatory vaccines just to be indoctrinated. Also, many nurses who worked during that time are saying “never again”, and will refuse to stick around when Fauci or Gates types release another “pandemic” to the world. They simply will not deal with the crap anymore, and walk away instead.
Hi John,
Unfortunately, 82% of Americans received at least one jab. The rest of us were just ostracized from purchasing food and supplies.
It was a time in history where you really did learn who your friends were and how many crazy family members we all had.
Indeed, RG. I was able to get a religious exemption to the jab, and thankfully, kept my job. But I was prepared to move out and live out of my car if need be. I lost numerous friends to that “vaccine”, and another now has heart problems. I also know of ones who took at least the first shot, and deeply regret it and say “never again”. Whether they stick to their guns next time, I am sure we will not have long to find out.
As Mark Twain once said, if voting mattered, it wouldn’t be allowed.
Oh, it gets better! Does the name, Wilbur Ross, ring a bell? He was Trump’s Commerce Secretary. Years ago, he worked with the Rothschilds. Back in the day, he observed Trump’s media savvy, and he said that we could use this guy. Something else I learned listening to David Knight…
It’s more complex than chromosomes. Married women, particularly those with children are much more socially conservative than the average male. Just drive past any moronic protest, whether No Kings or BLM or whatever. Look at all those males incapable of reason.
The number of people who knee-jerk react to emotion rather than be willing to wait for evidence is now a clear majority, regardless of sex.
I’m not so sure Steve. I know a lot, probably the majority of married woman w/kids, that discount reason and facts and instead believe propaganda and markeing.
As for the soy boys, they are a very small minority IMO, or at least in my circle. Yes I see them, but avoid at all costs, even in biz.
There’s a thing called balance. Male energy and female energy are both important. We’ve tipped from patriarchy to gynocracy – which is superior? Certainly society has become less stable in recent decades, and men are not to blame for that.
I agree with your point, but a gynocracy cannot sustain itself without the support of and allowance by men.
If men stopped doing physical labor, society would grind to a halt.
Where is this gynocracy that you men speak of? All I see is a bunch of YT videos with single women crying that men don’t want them and men whining that there are no good women. Very few women hold positions in high ranking government or business. Both are still male dominated.
All I see is the complete and utter destruction of the nuclear family because men and women cannot get on the same page. The discourse in the separation of the sexes is being propagated by young women who think that sleeping with a bunch of guys is “liberating” and men who think Rick Cooper provides sage advice between their video game playing.
It has become a cat and mouse game between both sexes on who tries to up the other instead of working together as a team to help build and support each other and create a strong foundation for our children.
Advice is taken by single friends and multiple divorcees who can’t sustain a relationship instead of seeking counsel from people that have been together for 50 years. Where are the YT videos on how to make a marriage last by people who have actually done it? The problem is nobody wants to watch those because they don’t create discord and division. The views only pile up when we are at each other’s throats.
“All I see is a bunch of YT videos with single women crying that men don’t want them and men whining that there are no good women”
Have you seen what passes for examples of manhood and womanhood? I have never seen so many young people out there so out of shape. Itz almost as if they have no self respect or shame. Youth is supposed to be a time of beauty and health instead we have gluttony and sloth, piercings and tats. There are a lot of distraction to be sure like restaurants and food stores on every corner and constant marketing.
Hi euro,
It verges on apathy to narcissism. I am not as concerned about the physical appearance as the way people treat each other. Some of the most beautiful women and handsome men in the world have been cheated on.
What I see is a lack of appreciation for what others do, lack of respect for one’s time, and disinterest in another’s thoughts and feelings.
Some people feel they need to bring nothing of value to the relationship, but they should be worshipped nevertheless.
How true. 30yrs for us, and almost no one asks for advice. There have been a few honest friends that say things like “you guys are tough to be around with how happy you are together” and yet the next thing they do is bitch at their spouse…….
There are some youth that are curious though, probably because they can’t figure out the current bizarro world of relationships.
Hi Chris,
I know it seems silly, but if I have a marital question or concern I go directly to my mother. My father and her have been married for 53 years. I think there is a lot of knowledge to be learned from people who have sustained decades of togetherness.
If I need car advice I go to an auto mechanic, business advice a businessman, legal advice to a lawyer. Why not seek guidance from two people that enjoy each other and have beat the odds?
Like you I am always bewildered on how some spouses talk to each other. I don’t trust anybody that comes to me after shortly meeting and belittles their significant other. I have had women (men never ask) come to me over the years and asking a question about a relationship. I make suggestions and almost every time I get, “I’m not doing that. He won’t appreciate it or that won’t work with him.” Well, unless you give it a whirl how are you going to know?
100%. I don’t know how I got so lucky to learn it as a youth. I call it “ask your elders”.
I always did. Many big milestones of decision making was vetted as much as possible from elders, and of all walks. I still do as an old guy that feels like i’m 40, haha….
I did go against all advice though to start our biz with 20K in the bank. Even my parents and my wifes parents were pretty upset for a long time when we both quit our corporate (bs) jobs and took a chance. We lived in relative poverty for 10yrs with 2 kids, and we still say to this day that they were the best days of our live. Having a ‘party’ when I sold something that let us eat for a month, etc… haha….
My wife also has a very hard time with her friends that bitch about their husbands. She tries to ‘advise’ them to no avail., like you said.
I sometimes think people like to bitch, maybe cause they have nothing else?
Guys are a little easier IF they open up.
Of course, apart from Wyoming and a few other possible exceptions, the 19th was passed without a single female vote.
(AI) Republicans largely supported women’s suffrage because of their anti-slavery roots, a platform centered on reform, and strategic political interests. Early party members aligned with prominent women’s rights activists who viewed voting rights as a natural extension of human equality.
Party Roots and Reform Ideology
Abolitionist Ties: Formed out of the antislavery movement, the GOP attracted early human rights and reform activists who naturally linked emancipation with universal suffrage.
Early Platform Support: The party platform openly welcomed women’s participation, and conventions as early as the 1870s passed resolutions calling for broader rights for women.
Progressive Alignment: Many prominent suffragists, including Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, closely identified with the Republican Party during the 19th century.
Control of Congress: When Republicans won control of Congress in 1919, they prioritized passing the 19th Amendment after it had been blocked or stalled under prior Democratic leadership
_____________________
AI: “Republicans had a much higher percentage of support and deeper majorities in Congress than Democrats.
“Congressional Voting Breakdown
House of Representatives (May 21, 1919): Passed 304 to 89. About 91% of Republicans voted yes (200+ in favor), compared to roughly 60% of Democrats (102 to 104 in favor).
“Senate (June 4, 1919): Passed 56 to 25. About 82% of Republicans voted yes (36 in favor, 8 against), compared to 54% of Democrats (20 in favor, 17 against).
“State Ratification (1920)Republican Legislatures: Of the 36 states required to ratify the amendment, 26 had Republican-controlled legislatures.
“Democratic Opposition: A large share of resistance and opposing votes during the state ratification phase came from lawmakers in the DEMOCRATIC DOMINATED SOUTH.”
_______________________
________________
Woodrow Wilson: (AI) Initial Stance and Opposition
States’ rights view: Argued voting access was a state decision rather than a federal constitutional matter.
Personal skepticism: Believed early on that women lacked sufficient public experience to vote effectively.
Political pressure: Resisted militant activists like the Silent Sentinels who picketed the White House.
Shift to Support
Wartime contributions: Noted women’s vital labor during World War I changed his perspective on their rights.
Congressional address: Delivered a speech to the Senate on September 30, 1918, backing the 19th Amendment as a crucial war measure.
Final push: Urged senators to pass the legislation which was ratified in August 1920.
My bad! I looked it up, and there were 15 states that had full female suffrage at the time, including New York and California. Mostly the low population states, though, so there were a lot of females who probably helped put in the people who pushed the amendment through.
Hi R.G.,
My late brother and I used to have this discussion all the time. He was of the opinion that Lincoln was the worst because he set such nasty precedents. The more I read of history, the more I see that all the presidents were pretty awful, expressed sentiments not withstanding. That said, I agree with you that Wilson was one of the absolute worst, but FDR, his cousin, LBJ and now T-Rump most surely occupy places in the worst of the worst.
Womans’ suffrage has nothing to do with it….the whole concept of democracy is a red herring cover for tyranny. Further, even if the original intent was good, the resulting infrastructure never scales well for individual freedom. This is one reason why, instead of spending valuable time resources pointing out the obvious, the smartest people (a group that does not include me unfortunately) busily build parallel support structures in areas like medical care, food production, manufacturing etc.
You are a wise man, Giuseppe. I always enjoy reading your posts because the insight you offer and the calmness rationale your writings convey. 🙂
This is a very weak argument. Women actually tipped the scales in 1912 in several states to help Wilson gain office and most certainly in 1916 for Wilson’s second term. The undisputed fact of the matter is government has gotten bigger and the country more socialist since women started voting.
There’s also the larger question of which one of the sexes is more likely to get us out of this mess now, men or women? Specifically, it’s white men. I suppose you could make the same argument about all the recent immigrants, illegals, and migrants and argue they didn’t elect FDR and the New Deal or LBJ and the Great Society programs. Yeah, and they’re not going to fix the problem either.
As one example of women in government, look how gay and retarded every female Justice on the Supreme Court is including Amy Coney Barrett. All four female Justices voted in favor of birthright citizenship. They suck. Justice Amy Barrett, with adopted children from Africa, during her confirmation hearing said she cried with her family when watching the George Floyd incident. How pathetic, especially for a judge to say something like that when she hasn’t gotten all the facts or reviewed the evidence. She should have been disqualified for that statement alone.
It is a weak argument how, Arthur? The only state that allowed women to vote in national elections during Wilson’s tenure was Illinois in 1913. No state allowed women to vote nationwide during his first election. During his second run for President only Illinois allowed women to participate with 7000 women voting…not all for Wilson.
In 1917, after his re-election Rhode Island, Indiana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Ohio all allowed women the right to vote in national elections.
https://www.rd.com/article/states-where-women-could-vote-before-1920/
Sorry, Alvin, not Arthur.
RG, Steve above corrected himself from one to nine states allowed women to vote in presidential election of 1912.
I don’t know if this is true or not (but know it was way more than one) (AI): “Prior to the presidential election of November 1912, nine U.S. states had granted women the right to vote, including Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah.
Enfranchised States
Wyoming: Granted suffrage in 1890 (and as a territory in 1869).
Colorado: Granted suffrage in 1893.
Utah: Granted suffrage in 1896 (initially in 1870).
Idaho: Granted suffrage in 1896.
Washington: Granted suffrage in 1910.
California: Granted suffrage in 1911.
1912 Elections
Arizona, Kansas, and Oregon: Approved woman suffrage via ballot measures in November 1912. However, because these specific 1912 state votes occurred during or right around the November presidential election itself, implementation and registration timing meant women in these three new states generally did not cast ballots in that specific presidential contest.
____________________
In 1912 the Republican Party split because Teddy Roosevelt decided to run against Taft w/Bull Moose Party. That is the main reason Woodrow Wilson won in 1912 and also threw the house to the Democrats (already had the senate).

These states gave the women to vote in local and state elections, not nationally.
You are completely wrong about that. Read the Reader’s Digest publication you cited. You misread Illinois. Illinois stood out because in 1913 women in Illinois could only vote for President of the United States, not for state offices. https://tag.rutgers.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/suffrage-by-state.pdf
Here you go: By the time of the November 5, 1912 presidential election, exactly six states allowed women full suffrage to vote for both state and federal offices: Wyoming (Since statehood in 1890) Colorado (Since 1893)Utah (Since statehood in 1896) Idaho (Since 1896)Washington (Since 1910) California (Since 1911)
The 11 Full Suffrage States in 1916. Women in these states could vote on the complete ballot for President, Congress, Governor, and local offices: Wyoming (Since 1890) Colorado (Since 1893) Utah (Since 1896) Idaho (Since 1896) Washington (Since 1910) California (Since 1911) Arizona (Approved on Election Day 1912, effective for 1916) Kansas (Approved on Election Day 1912, effective for 1916) Oregon (Approved on Election Day 1912, effective for 1916) Montana (Approved a state amendment in 1914) Nevada (Approved a state amendment in 1914).
Even the above is a bit misleading because women voted in federal elections prior to 1890 when those states were still territories.
Hi RG,
I am more than sick to death of the he-man “repeal the 19th” crowd that pollute forums such as this one. All they do is blame and do NOTHING towards fixing anything. More power to white males? WTF do they think the Orange Douche, Petey Kegsbreath, Tom Cottonmouth, Mike Cuckabee and Dead Turtle Mitch are?
They convince no one outside their little circle jerk and only reinforce the negative stereotypes about men, white men in particular.
Hi MQ,
I try to see both sides of the issue, sometimes it’s hard though.
I do agree the courts have been brutal to men that go through divorce, especially those with children.
But like you, I hate the broad strokes of paint that all of us women must be the same as all other women. If I find a man to be an asshole I only view him as that not every other human being that has an XY chromosome.
But, I cringe every time I read another women shouldn’t vote, women are sluts, women need to be back in the kitchen, and women are only good for having babies.
Do most guys think like this? No, but it still sucks reading it or hearing it.
Well-said, RG (and Chris) –
I don’t like – I despise – being lumped in with others who’ve done things I have not done. I like to be judged according to what I have (and have not) done and I extend the same courtesy to others. This is the core ethical premise of libertarianism. It is the basis of the ol’ NAP and the idea of live – and let live. I wish more people got this.
Eric, you claim to be libertarian, but you increasingly come across as a liberal. Women uber alles, ja? Have you ever taken a moment to investigate the massive unconstitutional fraud (female-driven) of our family and DV courts? Clearly not. Men and dads are dying, suffocating under the nanny state, and civilization dies with them.
You do realize that there are women that love their husbands, right?
We don’t call the courts or the police when a tiff occurs. Destroying a man is not built into every woman’s DNA.
Hi Cobblestones –
When have I ever put anyone “uber alles”? We are individuals. Men – and women. Some are good, some are not. Divorce court can be horrible, yes. It can be horrible to women, too (I actually have some personal knowledge re this). Whether it is more one way or the other says nothing (as such) about the individuals in questions. If we start collectivizing anyone – male or female – then how do we object when someone collectivizes us?
The reality is that there is no aspect of civilization today, from domestic violence to divorce court to employment to university attendance to lifespan to work deaths, illness, suicide, alcoholism, drug abuse, homelessness, and on and on it goes, which does not favor women.
Men are noticing. And no, we don’t hate women, nor are we misogynists. We just wonder why we always get the short end of the stick. What happened to equality?
Modern American Society has also been bombarded with narratives for years that MEN, particularly WHITE MEN, (especially if they’re conservative, Christian, and/ or ever voted for Trump) are the cause of ALL the problems today. After the whole COVID thing, the scapegoating even expanded to VACCINE HESITANCY/ ANTI-VAXXERS. Look at the insufferable speech from a Democrat Senator who tried to defend Fauci at last week’s Senate hearing and seemingly tried to blame “The HIGHEST number of Measels cases in decades” on Trump, RFK Jr, and VACCINE HESITANCY. Geez, I wonder why VACCINE HESITANCY went up? Could it possibly be because the MASSIVE narratives we were told about the COVID jabs were little more than MASSIVE LIES?
Outside of the death-mongering cretins who inhabit the presidency and the department of war, what power do ordinary working men have?
If a man takes the condom off, he is charged with rape. If the women lies about birth control, the man is forced into parenthood without his consent and becomes a financial slave without any right to parent his own child.
According to research, women file virtually 100% of ‘family’ court actions. Men don’t break families (because they know kids need their dads and their moms), women do.
If a woman rents her body, she is a victim and the man is a criminal. If a domestic violence call comes in, police are directed to arrest the male, despite a staggering number of research papers which clearly demonstrate women instigate inter-partner violence more often than men do.
Men accepted equality. Women seek ’empowerment,’ which has turned into female dominance, which hits us in the face everywhere we turn, including the automotive industry, as Eric has so diligently provided evidence of.
Amendment: women file virtually 100% of ‘family’ court actions in cases where children are involved.
Are there evil women in this world? Sure. There are evil men as well. But, as of 2025 55% of married people are still married to their first spouse. Happily? That is another discussion. The chances of a first marriage failing is 41%. Still high, but a majority of marriages will succeed.
The percentages increase significantly once a bride or groom walk down the aisle for #2, 3, 4 (or if you are Elizabeth Taylor or Mickey Rooney…eight). Not quite sure what # JLo is on, but it has to be close.
I don’t disagree with you that once the court system is involved there is an extremely unfair advantage to women and I have seen good men get raked through the coals.
My husband has an aunt, we call her The Black Widow, she is on marriage #4 and an evil person. I refuse to be in the same room as her. She has destroyed so many men (some she wasn’t even married to), but yet men still want her attention and dance around like a rooster trying to gain the attention of a hen. Do the courts notice past behavior? Nope. Right now she is banging her attorney in preparation of divorce #4. Unfortunately, there is some fool out there that will put another ring on it in a few years.
As I stated earlier this week divorce is a division to separate the elites vs the commoners. The more the Middle Class devolves the more wealth passes to the rich.
The worse thing a man can do is marry down. Marry up and all of a sudden she is concerned about protecting her assets and divorce is less likely.
“The worse thing a man can do is marry down.” This is untrue. Men marry down and have always married down, women marry up, and it’s the man’s assets at risk. It’s called hypergamy. Women control the market for sex and children, so it cannot be any other way.
High status, high net-worth women aren’t common, and they certainly aren’t going to marry men with lesser status and wealth than themselves. And men don’t look for those things in a potential life-partner in any event.
Hi cobble,
Is men marrying down working? It sure doesn’t look like it.
Seriously, I would love to see statistics if women that marry men with less assets corelate to longer marriages. I think it would be an interesting study.
Right now I can only theorize based on observing friends, family, and my own marriage.
One, a woman who comes from more will not reduce her standard of living. I think we can probably agree on this, correct?
Two, men are naturally more ambitious than women. If they love a woman they will work harder to keep her comfortable and provide her what she is used to.
Three, men who come into a marriage with more usually grow bored of the marriage. Why? The women cannot introduce them to anything that they haven’t already experienced. A woman that comes from more can show a man what he is capable of and what he has been missing.
Four, a woman with assets understands that she is establishing a partnership. They also understand the need for protecting those assets and will work harder to sustain the partnership to keep from losing them.
Five, men (most) are not keen on divorce. Actually, I would be willing to stick out my neck and state that men are much more romantic than women. Men usually marry because they are in love. Women that marry a man who has less than her also marries for love. The man automatically knows she is not marrying him for his wallet, but that she truly cares for him.
Six, what are the two most important things in a partnership? Some will disagree with me, but I believe it is respect and appreciation.
As I stated above men are naturally more ambitious than women. I can only go on family history, but every woman in my family going back to my grandmothers (so roughly nine) have married men from the “wrong side of the tracks”. Every single one of the nine men that married these women have surpassed not only their own upbringings and maintained the same standard of living that the woman was accustomed to, but half of them even bypassed the prior generation that provided for her. What does that do? Garners respect and admiration from the wife for her husband. A woman that respects and admires her husband does not leave him.
Guys: All that shit is currently in there. Hell, I have a 2020 F150, and it has “pre-collision assist” and other nanny-state crap too. Dontcha think an “Over the Air Update” will simply put the two lines of code necessary to put in the full Nazi-stuff? I really need to go out and buy an old car….
My 2019 F-150 was always prompting me to get updates .I declined all of them to date. with no issues.. Fuck big brother and his ilk.
The cutting of power to the drivetrain should make passing a conga line more dangerous along with merging on to a turnpike or highway. These commies never rest, they could fuck up a wet dream.
The Acceleration Override Assist “feature” is also probably helping to align the EPA test loop fuel economy with real world conditions. Instead of always pushing the engine into the high boost/high revs power band, keep it down in the efficient area longer. Good luck getting up to highway speed on a short entrance ramp.
The thing about all these “features” is that you have to ask if this is the hill you’re willing to die on. Because like the MADD temperance women, they are. They are more than willing to waste their lives fighting for these stupid policies. And they know we have stuff to do. Because they live on non-profit donations and endowments. Their full time “job” is to force themselves into politics and media with their tear jerker stories and vow that “not one more” of whatever cause they’re for will happen again. The rest of us are just trying to get through life, they’ve put their lives on hold for the cause… which itself becomes sort of a perverse lifestyle choice.
Erin Brockovich was in the news the other day. I didn’t bother to listen to the story but just the fact that she’s still out there, hoping to relive her past glory, is a perfect example. I didn’t care about her cause back then, I don’t care about her cause today. But you bet that she’s able to get politicians on the phone by mentioning her name, even if they only know the name from that movie. Can Eric get a senator on the phone? Does Rand Paul read ericpetersautos.com? Can Tom Woods call Thomas Massie and ask for a political favor?
Yet another form of toxic femininity.
Doug Casey on the surveillance state and new cars: https://internationalman.com/articles/doug-casey-on-the-surveillance-state-quietly-taking-shape-across-america/
Anyone here remember the digital vaccine passports that many large cities implemented just a few years ago? Those were also framed as “Saaaaaaaaaaafety”, and corporate media and elitist billionaires ran messages like “Nobody is safe until everyone’s safe!”, which really meant “Nobody is safe until everyone is vaccinated!” If you didn’t take the “Safe and Effective!” COVID vaxx, you weren’t allowed in public places, though too many Americans CHEERED these vaccine passports.
Corporate media, which gets a large percentage of their advertising money from Big Pharma, may have also conditioned these people to be “Very, very afraid of ANTI-VAXXERS”.
Hi John,
Have you read anything about Rand Paul and the vaccines? A chef from an event back in 2021? 2022? stated that all guests had to have a negative test and be vaxxed to attend. Apparently, Paul was there. Paul’s office hasn’t disputed the claims yet.
I am starting to believe there are less and less of us that escaped these jabs.
No, I haven’t read anything about that. But if there’s one thing that has become painfully obvious the past several years, it’s that too many politicians in DC, particularly those who’ve been there for DECADES, are looking out NOT for their constituents, but their political careers and powerful lobbies that donate TONS of money to their campaigns, such as the Military-industrial complex, Big Pharma, etc., and politicians from BOTH of the major political parties are guilty of that. It’s laughable how there are people who think that putting Democrats back in power will magically fix everything, given that the Democratic Party was ALL IN with “Mandatory COVID jabs for all!” during COVID, regardless of what damage resulted from that.
RG, I believe you are trying to reply to a Ready Kilowatt who refers to Rand Paul. I’ve read Joe Gera’s accusations (which you don’t link to) that Paul must be vaccinated because he attended a “private event” at an un-named venue. Are you sure you ain’t attacking Rand Paul because of his Israel stance? (And maybe also BECAUSE of his actions against Fauci, the vaccine and the Jew run drug companies that got billions of our taxpayer dollars.)
https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/chef-shreds-rand-paul-senator-154035577.html
(AI): “Senator Rand Paul has stated that he did not receive the COVID-19 vaccine, relying instead on what he described as natural immunity after contracting the virus.
“Background Details: Stated in May 2021 that he did not plan to get inoculated unless evidence showed reinfection rates for previously infected people were worse than for vaccinated people.
“Clarified his position by asserting that individual health choices should prevail over mandates. Falsely identified social media rumors circulated a photo of him getting a shot, which fact-checkers confirmed was actually an old 2015 hepatitis A booster.Check a report on the viral photo claim from Newsweek.”
________________
RP on Israel: (AI) Senator Rand Paul’s stance on Israel combines general rhetorical support for Israel as an ally with a strict “America First” non-interventionist philosophy that opposes open-ended foreign military aid and U.S. entanglements in Middle Eastern conflicts.
Foreign Aid and Oversight
Conditional Aid: Argues that U.S. foreign assistance should be limited, paid for by cutting aid to adversaries, and strictly monitored.
Legislative Holds: Frequently places procedural holds on multi-billion dollar military aid packages to Israel, insisting that the assistance must be re-evaluated or offset by spending cuts elsewhere.
Human Rights Scrutiny: Was the sole Republican senator to support a 2024 measure requiring the State Department to report on Israeli compliance with human rights laws in relation to U.S. aid.
Military and Regional Intervention
Avoidance of Direct Wars: Maintains that it is not the job of the United States to militarily intervene in regional conflicts involving Israel and adversaries like Iran, cautioning that intervention risks repeating past quagmires.Defense
Independence: Believes Israel should ultimately be self-sufficient and that the U.S. should not dictate defense or territorial decisions to the Israeli government.
Domestic Policy and Free Speech
Opposition to BDS: States personal opposition to the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement targeting Israel.
First Amendment Concerns: Votes against or criticizes certain federal anti-BDS and antisemitism legislation (such as the Antisemitism Awareness Act) on the grounds that government-imposed definitions or speech restrictions infringe upon constitutional free speech rights.

Palestinians should not be living in “SMART” cities (prisons) on my taxpayer dime–because they are and being maimed, tortured and killed on my dime also, I feel a moral obligation to speak out against the people committing the crimes. Same with the anti-illegal immigration/ICE activities in the U.S. It is also common sense: if they do it to them, they can do it to us.
Do you work for TMZ or the National Enquirer? The amount of assumptions that you make based on absolutely nothing that was stated is Suns News compatible rhetoric.
I wasn’t responding to RK. I asked John, because he and I both discussed the dangers of vaccines for years now on this forum and I was curious if he had heard back it and his thoughts on it.
I was not going after Paul for his Israeli stance or his questioning of Fauci. I don’t even know how or why this is even relevant to my post.
But, hey if you need to chaos and diversion keep firing away.
Doncha know, no one decides anything for himself. Everyone is mind-controlled by the jooooos. Except for those with the proper tin foil hat, apparently.
RG, You make a post flat out implying belief i.e. you don’t even question Rand Paul’s integrity you imply he is guilty and fallen from his pedestal based on an un-named chef’s vague accusation of an event at an un-named venue in 2021/2022 and then you ask me if I watch TMZ or the National Enquirer and accuse me of imputing your motives?
The article just appeared on July 31 and you say “Rand Paul’s office hasn’t disupted the claims.” And then the person you’ve discussed this with before, who doesn’t link to the article either (the evidence), but like a parrot says on cue: oh can’t believe anyone. All are the same. Same b.s. you and steve pushed about Massie. Now we have a new person here to watch: “John B.”
No, AJC, I asked if you worked for TMZ, not watched it.
You are going after, John B? Are you serious? John has been a well respected poster here for years. I asked him the question. He replied. He does not deserve your wrath. “Now we have a new person to watch?” Who says that? Who is this “we” that you speak of?
Are you tallying a list on those of us that don’t agree with your “Jews are the banes of evil” criteria?
Now you can return to your use of Generative AI and ask Claude what he thinks.
RG, You ask me if I work for TMZ, but you were the one doing the hit job on Rand Paul based on some “chef’s” allegations. ““Rand Paul’s office hasn’t disputed the claims.” And this is the claim from 7.30.26 (2 days ago: an un-named venue; an un-named date; on this person’s allegation: “You were vaccinated. Multiple times. How do I know? Because I cooked an event you attended in early 2022. The venue’s policy was: if you wanted to attend unmasked, you had to be vaccinated (this didn’t stop until April that year at this venue). You also had to RSVP well in advance and provide a negative COVID test before the event. So if you were there, you met those requirements. But by all means, keep bullshitting.”
https://x.com/redhotnerd/status/2082906199003955208
Joe Gera is democratic and pro-vaccination. Are the assumptions he’s making reasonable? No date. No venue. How does one dispute that? Do you know who the chef is at the events you attend?
Here’s another allegation from Joe Gera: pearlmania500. 04/21/26. Chef Joe Gera allegedes that CNN MAGA mouthpiece Scott Jennings is a closeted bisexual that is being actively blackmailed by President of the United States, Donald Trump.
Is Joe Gera Jewish? The man has celiac disease and “In Hebrew, the name Gera (גֵּרָא) means “a grain” or “a sojourn/pilgrimage”, and it functions primarily as a biblical proper noun.” He was against Platner and is for the “good person” AIPAC controlled candidate in MI: Chef Joe Gera 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇮🇹
@redhotnerd Jul 20. I’d also like to point out that Liz (WARREN–he says she approached him to help w/her campaign because of his connection w/GOTV) was informed of Platners issues and did not waver. And wan to be clear: AES is NOT Platner. He can win this race. However, Haley Stevens is a good person, who’s done great work for the people of Michigan…”
Here he is on Paxton ”
Chef Joe Gera 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇮🇹@redhotnerd Jul 28 You also went to a bar in Piccadilly (actually soho but it’s close) I’m not sure if you were aware it’s a LGBTQ spot or not but… yeah. You had drinks there. Nobody can tell me how long you were there, but um: you had a Rum & Grind & a Berry Bonito. Both very delicious drinks btw kudos.”
It seems maybe Chef Joe works for TMZ or should!
P.S. Paul Newman was also a dedicated liberal Democrat — could hardly find anyone more pro liberal than him. Guess it doesn’t matter because he was a JEW! Anyhoo, they do say Newman, “Later in life, he occasionally voiced opposition to U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, expressing concerns on national television about perceived U.S. double standards in the region and the unconditional nature of American support for Israeli military.”
Sorry if you don’t like your bias called out, but I’m sick and tired of good people who supposedly hold the views you claim to hold (ALL EXCEPT FOR ISRAEL) constantly being denigrated by you. While other people with the exact opposite views you claim to represent get praised because they are JEWISH!
PPS If you don’t like TMZ, why don’t you write the people who own it: (AI) “TMZ is owned by Fox Corporation, but its founder and managing editor is Harvey Levin, a man of Jewish descent.”
It sounds like he is looking to pick a fight, RG. What a sad existence one must have to have to resort to such antics.
Hi Shadow,
Just a warning….you could be on the “list” with Steve, John B, and I. 😉
I feel honored that I pissed someone off so much that they need seven paragraphs to argue the point. 🙂
Ha ha, well, considering that I grew up in Hell, this is par for the course. Anymore, if one is not on a list of some sort, they must be doing something wrong (ha ha).
‘Well, here we are,’ writes Eric — at a red line that we’ve been discussing for years.
Now that red line has been crossed. Algorithms can override our inputs — even basic inputs such as steering, braking and acceleration. The locus of control is external. This is profoundly wrong and dangerous.
Also, it’s flatly, categorically UNACCEPTABLE. For us, model year 2027 and later vehicles are ruled out. New vehicles are no longer an option.
Both the US empire, which died before its 250th birthday, and the auto industry, which died at roughly its 125th birthday, are OVER.
Sic transit gloria mundi.
Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the autos he once saved
Nobody wants them
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead
Fill auto makers full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!
— Black Sabbath, Iron Man (1971)

You are living the Twilight Zone episode, To Serve Man. You’re screaming, “IT’S A COOKBOOK!!” and everyone just looks at you like you’re crazy.
So, this is how the Empire collapses.
Terrific article, Mr Peters. You are bang on the money.
The clue is in the euphemistic terminology. “ASSIST” is a benign word. You assist an old lady to cross the street. The store clerk asks: “May I assist Modom?” And Modom is mightily relieved that there’s a young girl in the changing room to help her squeeze into that size 9 girdle.
So the car is merely “assisting.” It isn’t taking over, ordering you about or impeding or preventing you.
Except it is. For “assist” read “prevent.”
This tampering with the meaning of words has been going on for decades. I first cottoned on to it when I began to hear the phrase “experimenting with drugs” which makes drug taking and drug addiction sound positively intelligent.
“Oh, I was just experimenting with some crack cocaine, and now I’m high as a kite. I’ve also just realised I know the cure for cancer. Step aside, Dude, and make way for the Big Boys.”
Thanks, Stephen –
It’s a mind trick. Call control “assistance” and it goes down better. Just the same as calling what we’re forced to hand over to the state a “contribution” makes the thing seem as if it were voluntary.
How about a “tax return“?
Another of my (non)favorites is their gun buyback programs. As if the government ever owned the gun in the first place.

Funny that “drugs” is among the most tampered with words. Also, experiments routinely fail. Why would experiment or experimentation imply something “positively intelligent”?
Don’t forget “health” “care”.
“care” : a term of art used in the medical industry to convey the (false) impression the industry gives a rat’s ass what happens to its raw material, which it call “patients”.
See also “money catheter”.
The etymology of “patient” is uncertain, but it may denote the behaviour of those who passively submit. See also “receptive partner”.
Q: How did George Washington die?
A: Severe medically induced anemia. His doctors bled him to death.
I like to call it hell care, and the FDA I call the Fear and Death Administration.
Hi Groundhog!
Yup. I remember when it was medical treatment. You went to a doctor – not a provider. Damn, I am getting old…
Eric,
Not yet, but hopefully in another few decades you will be getting old…..from my perspective getting old, like I am, tends to make one appreciate life more and hate anti-life powers more. Also, from my perspective, it makes me appreciate the values among the “common folk”, the working class who underpin our society and who, in my experience, turn out to be fine folks as opposed to the “educated” class who presume to know much more that they evidence, but who are willing to support coercive policies against individuals anyway.
Damn, I AM old….but that has its advantages….for example I was aware of and remember vividly what Fauci was doing in the eighties…..SSDD. Makes me realize what an idiot I was in my youth to denigrate my parents in any way…..in any case, once my posts start to enter dementia ramblings, I hope you folks will let me know in a kind manner.
