By manipulating the human tendency to envy, the Leftist Brain politician has devised an effective tool to control large segments of the electorate. He simply hides their collective envy under the guise of “social justice.”

It's time to have a serious talk about the liberal boomers in this country, they've LOST their absolute minds..
The reaction to ICE is how I imagined Democrats reacting in the 1800s when they heard Republicans planned to end slavery. The party of the plantation owners screamed about their way of life, and now its voters are screaming about losing their cheap illegal immigrant workers.
Republicans voted for the 13th Amendment in 1865, and Republicans are the ones enforcing immigration law today.
The party fighting for cheap labor never changed.. Only the labor did.

The Leftist Brain not only rejects the innate impulse to take heterosexuality as the natural state of being because it is, it twists this impulse into some sinister social conspiracy directed against the oppressed.

The odd thing about the Leftist Brain's emotional calls for equality and fairness is not that aren’t desirable. What’s odd is that it acts as if inequality and unfairness were somehow unnatural when they’re the most natural things in the world.

Hi. Meteorologist here.
There is no such thing as a “heat storm.”
Just more made-up BS.
Since the 1960s, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by more than 30%. The average portion of the planet likely to be covered by heat storms and heat waves has risen more than 12-fold. Explore the first in our series on this climate phenomenon reut.rs/4sl2Kdi

WHY ARE BOYS AND MEN TURNING AWAY FROM BOOKS? PERHAPS PUBLISHING SHOULD LOOK IN THE MIRROR.
A provocative new @Quillette article by Adam Szetela, “How to Suppress Men’s Writing”, exposes a remarkable transformation in the publishing industry. And it raises uncomfortable questions about ideological conformity, institutional bias and the neglect of male readers.
quillette.com/2026/10/23/why…
Consider the figures Szetela cites:
• Over 70% of employees at America's Big Five publishers are women.
• Over 70% of editors and interns are women.
• Over 60% of publishing executives are women.
• The industry disproportionately recruits graduates from elite universities.
Yet these same institutions frequently proclaim their commitment to diversity, inclusion and representing marginalised voices.
The hypocrisy is blatant and extreme. Their diversity doesn't include men.
Szetela argues that contemporary publishing increasingly privileges leftist ideological narratives, identity politics and particular conceptions of female experience, while marginalising traditionally masculine storytelling, interests and perspectives.
His most provocative contention?
“Young men don’t hate reading—they hate the books these women publish.”
Consider David Goggins' Can't Hurt Me: an unapologetically masculine account of adversity, discipline, resilience and extraordinary achievement. Goggins self-published it, subsequently selling millions of copies.
Meanwhile, boys' reading engagement and literacy outcomes remain deeply concerning...
Of course, smartphones, gaming, educational practices and other factors also contribute. Nor does female representation itself establish discrimination. But Szetela raises an important question: Why do institutions routinely examine their own biases when minority groups are underrepresented, yet so rarely apply the same scrutiny when boys and men disengage?
Having personally reviewed more than 300 books during the last seven years, and also having recently published 100 of the Best Books for Men, I know there’s an extraordinary wealth of literature capable of inspiring, challenging and enriching male readers… Read my book for free at the National Library of Australia:

We should celebrate books about courage, adventure, fatherhood, competition, sacrifice, responsibility, achievement and the distinctive experiences of men and boys.
The answer isn't fewer books for women. It's more great books for everyone, especially including men and boys.
Publishing should embrace genuine intellectual diversity, rather than ideological gatekeeping…
Men and boys deserve literature that speaks to their interests, aspirations and potential.

The point of no return by Richard von Mises is worth reading:
"A state becomes almost unreformable when the majority of the population is financially or structurally dependent on the state (state employees, civil servants, recipients of subsidies, grants, or transfer payments, etc.). As soon as those who net benefit from or are supported by the state outnumber those who do not, the system blocks reforms, since the majority votes out of self-interest for the preservation or expansion of state services."
Does this sound familiar? Some European countries, France, Belgium, Finland are already way beyond that point, closely followed by Germany, Spain, Austria and Italy. It works for a while, as long as markets buy more sovereign debt at reasonable interest rates. The party ends when they stop though. For France, they stopped this month, Belgium will be next.
The longer the socialist illusion persists, the more painful the inevitable cuts and adjustments will be. It’s pure arithmetic. Good luck Europe, good luck Euro. Buckle up, it won’t be pretty.
Central European climate activists regularly lecture developing countries about the threat of deforestation. They should know. During Roman times and throughout the Dark Ages, Europe was covered with primeval forest (in “De Germania,” Tacitus reports of men who walked for two months from Poland to Gaul without once glimpsing sunlight due to the trees). Their descendants destroyed most of these forests in the centuries to follow, yet their progeny have somehow managed to survive, multiply and live quite comfortably while "saving the planet."
The Leftist Brain calls for DIVersity to DIVide. It assigns real individuals with real identities to manufactured identity groups with imaginary group identities. Groups don’t have identities, of course. Only individuals do.

This is why Republicans getting 53 seats in the U.S. Senate and 220 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives is a solid prediction.
"The Green Sahara” entered a dryness crisis around six thousand years ago and became a desert in just 500 years when the ecosystem collapsed and its human population was forced to flee. Anthropogenic CO2?

You might have a Leftist Brain if... You can label any random institution “oppressive” without a single individual involved in that institution holding a single oppressive view; a church congregation, for example.
