Reflections From a Murky Pond

This is the Gender Continuum explained using commonly heralded as Progressive, Equitable imagery. There are two genders – male and female. Anything else is a trauma reaction, a mental disorder, or a very, very, very rare – but still real and horrific in most cases – genetic abnormality.

Like most creatures who are invested in being “oppressed” and profiteering off of their “Other” status, Karine Jean-Pierre – now most often referred to as KJP – has a well-developed danger sense. It’s just that KJP’s danger sense is very much predicated upon her own issues, biases, and allegiances.

Take as an example the danger KJP found in EWTN White House correspondent Owen Jensen’s quite pertinent question about the White House’s stance on the growing concerns among parents of female athletes who are now being forced to compete against biologically males in their sporting leagues.

“What would the president say to parents out there who have daughters, let’s say in high school, for example, who are worried that their daughter may have to compete against a male, a person born male and they could be a direct and physically athletic competition, and worry about their daughter’s safety,” he continued.

Jean-Pierre, who earlier called the issue “complicated,” then accused the reporter of characterizing transgender athletes as “dangerous.”

“What you’re alluding to is basically saying that transgender kids are dangerous… it sounds like that’s what you’re saying,” she retorted.

Jensen tried to push back against the assertion, interjecting, “I didn’t say that. This is strictly a safety question.”

“Well, you’re saying that their safety is at risk,” Jean-Pierre responded. “You’re laying out a kind of broad example or explanation of what could be potentially happening. That is dangerous. That is a dangerous thing to say that essentially transgender kids are dangerous.

“And so that’s something that I have to call out. That is irresponsible,” she continued. “I had just laid out how complicated this issue is. I had just laid out why it’s complicated, and so anything that you have any additional questions, I refer you to the Department of Education. I’m gonna move on.”

— Karine Jean-Pierre v. Owen Jensen

Now, note that Jensen’s question was both timely and very specific. It dealt with parents’ fears that their daughter might face injury if forced to compete against trannies in more physically confrontational sports – [sic]… direct and physically athletic competition. Yet, KJP found danger in just the questioning of whether trannies might present any form of danger in any athletic circumstances. Even a specific and reasonable question is, in what passes for her mind, is dangerous. And that is how her sort, the ever-aggrieved and professionally oppressed, operate. They find danger in anything that is not wholly supportive of what they want.

And KJP Is Stupid

And yeah, KJP’s response wasn’t just telling; it was stupid in the extreme – though, an expected extreme in her case. Jensen’s question was the perfect lead in – it might have even been a hand-out to her – for her to speak about how Biden and Co.’s woke, transphilic changes to Title IX allow colleges to make exceptions to the general government mandate which forces them to allow students to compete as whatever gender they currently claim to be in order to maintain fairness and/or safety of the athletes.

Talk about opportunity lost! But that’s par for the course whenever a hire is made based upon criteria other than competency. 🙄

This is the sad truth. If you import the Third World, your nation will become the Third World. We’ve seen it across Europe and we’re seeing it in America.

It’s simply what happens when you either allow millions of Third-Worlders to invade your country or bring them in wholesale as “refugees.” They don’t want to become part of America and they bring their many, many incompatible cultural norms with them with no plans whatsoever to change. And, worse for Americans, we don’t have refugee camps like Europe does, so these foreigners are dumped into our population, swamping our infrastructure and support services as well as putting our people in danger.

The above, however, does not mean I advocate eliminating all immigration, nor that I want immigration limited to only people from other First World nations. But I do believe we need higher bars on immigrants and that these immigrants must be required to be “Good Immigrants.” I believe that approaching all forms of immigration should be done via an “America First” ideal.

President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt summed up how American immigration should be handled in 1894 and nothing’s changed since then… because right and wrong and wise and foolish don’t change.

The mighty tide of immigration to our shores has brought in its train much of good and much of evil; and whether the good or the evil shall predominate depends mainly on whether these newcomers do or do not throw themselves heartily into our national life, cease to be Europeans, and become Americans like the rest of us. More than a third of the people of the Northern States are of foreign birth or parentage. An immense number of them have become completely Americanized, and these stand on exactly the same plane as the descendants of any Puritan, Cavalier, or Knickerbocker among us, and do their full and honorable share of the nation’s work. But where immigrants, or the sons of immigrants, do not heartily and in good faith throw in their lot with us, but cling to the speech, the customs, the ways of life, and the habits of thought of the Old World which they have left, they thereby harm both themselves and us. If they remain alien elements, unassimilated, and with interests separate from ours, they are mere obstructions to the current of our national life, and, moreover, can get no good from it themselves. In fact, though we ourselves also suffer from their perversity, it is they who really suffer most. It is an immense benefit to the European immigrant to change him into an American citizen.

It is urgently necessary to check and regulate our immigration, by much more drastic laws than now exist; and this should be done both to keep out laborers who tend to depress the labor market, and to keep out races which do not assimilate readily with our own, and unworthy individuals of all races – not only criminals, idiots, and paupers, but anarchists. From his own standpoint, it is beyond all question the wise thing for the immigrant to become thoroughly Americanized. Moreover, from our standpoint, we have a right to demand it. We freely extend the hand of welcome and of good-fellowship to every man, no matter what his creed or birthplace, who comes here honestly intent on becoming a good United States citizen like the rest of us; but we have a right, and it is our duty, to demand that he shall indeed become so and shall not confuse the issues with which we are struggling by introducing among us Old-World quarrels and prejudices. There are certain ideas which he must give up. For instance, he must learn that American life is incompatible with the existence of any form of anarchy.

— Theodore Roosevelt
“True Americanism,” The Forum Magazine (April 1894)

I will point out though, that Roosevelt’s primary concerns were over the sloth and tendency towards outright anarchism of certain European immigrants, especially the Irish. Still, his beliefs hold true as the course of wisdom even – perhaps more so – when scope of immigrants extends to the whole of the world, with its many cultures, many of which are antithetical to America’s culture and social norms.

We don’t need immigrants that just bring their problems and problematical mores with them, and we shouldn’t tolerate their being here. We neither need nor should accept foreigners into our land who just want our money and not to become Americans themselves.

But, I also am not heartless; nor do I advocate completely heartless immigration reform. I do think that we need to set the bar much lower for women, especially women with children. The West in general, and America in particular is far better for them than most places they’d be coming from and I’m sanguine with turning them away as a normal course of action. Many of them are truly fleeing real atrocities and, while we have no duty to shelter them, doing so is a charity we can afford.

That’s a really good question. Where did all the Democrats, who declared that they trusted the science during the Pandemic, go now that it’s been proven that the “science” was far more science-fiction than actual science… well, aside from Sociology and Social Engineering?

Yeah, they seemed to have crawled back into the woodwork. Not, mind you, that they’d admit to any real wrong or mistake if confronted by and American. In those circumstance, they just claim it doesn’t matter and we were still wrong and evil… because we’re Americans, whom they decry as, at the very least, Right-Wing extremists.

AOC’s degeneracy is a perfect symbol for the degeneration and decline in anything resembling American thought amongst the younger, dumber Democrats. It only took two generations for AOC to be spawned and then to blithely turn JFK’s famous speech to the world on its head.

And so, my fellow Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: Ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

And so, my fellow Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: Ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

— President John F. Kennedy

That was back in 1961. But now it’s 2023 and things, especially Democrats, are not the same. They’re not even close to the same, with thing’s like AOC being poor mockeries of even Democrat form and function.

“I ask you to think about the last time a person said — has said in this country that the government does too much for them.

— Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Yeah, it’s pretty bad when a Dem will stand before Congress and blithely say things like that. But, it’s simply a sign of the times and the escalating degeneracy of those that identify as Democrats.
