The new $2 bill. Sign me up for grandchildren stocking stuffers.

At least the Catholics admitted it was a sin and misaligned with the New Testament that teaches love and mercy.

No use of y'all? This aint Texas. JK. LoL.

Does the book address family structure and welfare incentives? For Whites or Blacks to match Asian success outcomes, I would focus on the family. Marriage, divorce, and children out of wedlock. Start there. Those are the clearest signals of the values that actually lead to successful outcomes. Big government could incentivize the hell out of having children inside marriage and support long term marriages at least through the kids school years… the complete opposite of the Man in the House destruction policy that FDR and LBJ pushed. Reduce the marriage penalties. Make benefits neutral or positive in favor of two parent married homes (or multi-generation family). Stop letting long term welfare compete as a substitute for a husband's income. This reduces the environments that produce higher crime and reduces the cycle of unstable families. The destructive loop is anti-family incentives -> poverty -> crime -> lack of education -> unstable family -> anti-family incentives. Outcomes and behavioral biases are more driven by family environments than skin color. Rational behaviors toward groups is practical... and natural... (my young children auto insurance costs are high, walking on the other side of the street from white (e.g. any race) teens in hoodies with menacing face expression, dirty grooming, walk, talk, dress, and act like trouble does).

100% and naturally so.

To be concise means being brief, clear, and comprehensive. Fully answering a question in fewer words proves you master the topic and respect the reader. This conversation has been had on this forum numerous times. I'd like to understand what is different that suggests the need to discuss again.

In as few words as possible, what about this book will present genuinely new or persuasive material that overcomes the root cause of crime and fragile family structure impact on "race" outcomes?

I absolutely believe him.

Yea Facebook... I'm basically FB friends with family and closer friends. Say 'no' more than yes to friends. Probably 200 people. Meanwhile my nieces have 1000+ on instragram, FB, and the like. Never walked past someone they don't need to social media befriend and overshare. Do they not understand folks don't need to know your business and your outerimage is a mirage? You can't even trust the people you trust... what are you even doing? Nope... I'm up near 300 FB friends. Time to prune.

Yea... I can show plenty of rundown rural downs... generally much less graffiti and violence... plenty of meth heads though.

Massie was my small government constitutionalist so I'm unhappy with Trump over it.

At least mix it up. Call out Randy Fine... someone actually mainstream. Not a tool like Loomer, (or Piker or Olbermann).

Bringing her up repeatedly seems like bad-faith smear-by-association. I can do the same thing with Piker and others on the fringe left but why would I? Other than to troll? Meaningless trumpeting.

Yes it is. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/28/hasan-piker-democrats-midterms-2028-00849453

Guess who else is a useful villain? Hasan Piker. In no way do I think Hasan represents the left. The same that Loomer doesn't represent the right. Repeatedly waving Laura Loomer around as a gotcha against the right is lazy, bad-faith, and asinine.

There is no logic in relating financial audits to the pedo behavior. They are not related. It is a story of a bad man doing bad things while pretending to be a good man.

I said she is a useful villian. She is a tool that people use to share inside information. There is a Loomer tip line. She says outrageous stuff that then leads to the serious conversations. Overton window at play.

Loomer is not mainstream at all.

Loomer is useful villainy. She is an awful person with useful information.

Laura Loomer is a terrible person and I have yet to meet anyone who thinks otherwise. Including the loons on Facebook.

100% and why is that? Islamic texts have far more explicit stuff on violence, killing apostates, slavery and concubines, and strict gender rules than the New Testament, while Jewish writings have some harsh ancient rules for outsiders. Global data on extremism, minority persecution, and integration problems supports the sentiment. There is less on Jewish sentiment because they make up ~0.2% of the world population versus the ~25-30% for each of Muslim and Christianity. https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2025/06/09/how-the-global-religious-landscape-changed-from-2010-to-2020/

You stated "thinking it’s a-OK to compare the mayor of NYC to 9/11 terrorists". The last time you said that it was record repeating on about Kirk. What is that about Mamdani's wife saying positive about 9/11?

FWIW criticizing the IDF is not antisemitic. Israeli jews criticize the IDF...

The Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Federalist Papers were written on views the government as a necessary evil. Its sole legitimate purpose is to protect pre-existing natural rights... life, liberty, and property... and then get out of the way so individuals can succeed or fail on their own merits. Socialism does not fit. It is a threat!

Kirk did not imply Mamdani was a terrorist. He did imply that Mamdani shares the 9/11 attackers' religion (factcheck true) and that Mamdani's culture and values challenge America's core values (most Americans still agree... for now).
