Speaking of masculinity, I just watched an episode of "What on Earth?" on the Science Channel during which one segment investigated why male fish are becoming increasingly feminized. The scientists believe that the reason for this is that birth control pills are not fully absorbed in a woman's body and that the residue is excreted in urine and feces, thus entering the water supply.

Water treatment plants are unable to remove this residue, which not only enters the earth's waters, but also is recycled into our domestic water supply. If this tainted water is used for drinking, cooking and bathing by 1st world humans, and also used in agriculture and food processing, it occurs to me that this could be an explanation for decreased sperm counts in human males and lower population growth in Europe, Canada, the US and Australia. (Not to mention the increase in the number of soy boy / pajama boy / "metrosexuals" that so-called "feminists" are so enamored of because "they are more in touch with their emotions" than traditional men who feminists fear will exhibit "toxic masculinity" if given half a chance.)

Third world countries have seen no such decrease in fertility. Is this because birth control pills are still not widely available, despite the efforts of leftist NGOs, and most of these countries do not have our level of sophisticated water treatment? I wonder.

Ingesting hormones, except for serious medical conditions involving lack or low supply, is always a bad idea.

Our next president needs to be a man not unlike Chinggis Khaan, who will subdue the DC swamp ruthlessly, capitulate or be destroyed! The American people would erect the grandest statues honoring him, write new songs praising him, just like modern Mongolians do for their greatest national hero who died 795 years ago.

Said it before & I’ll say it again: Western “leaders” are anything but. They’re soi/cuck/emasculated shills for their chosen religion, “woke” ideology. These are not serious people, immersing themselves as they do in frivolity 24/7: trans rights/climate change/Jan 6 “insurrection”/et al.

Putin’s a patriot for his country. The same can’t be said of Western “leaders”.

I agree with you about our western leaders. But Putin is a very corrupt and dangerous ex KGB man who has designs on making Russia great again. I think Putin and his friend from China are chomping at the bit over the fools running North America.

Do you think the world would be a better or worse place if the US had a free hand throughout the world?

Under this Administration the World would not be a better place. The Brandon administration is akin with the repressive government’s in Australia, Canada and many others. It is one with the tyrannical governors as in Whitmer, Newsome, Evers, Inslee, etc. Brandon is all in with the Great Reset. Between this Globalist cabal and Russia and China, I do not see any good guys on the horizon! But as a believer in Bible prophecy I do see the ultimate Good coming right after the coming World Govt collapses in utter destruction and chaos….

Since you're a religious person I would point out that the US has been a powerful force for significant evil in the world for far longer than this regime. One could argue that the process began shortly after WW2. Obviously I'm not advocating for a type of moral relativism or equivalence among the various governments--whether great powers or minor players on the world stage.

Without trying to present a 25 word argument on a complex topic, I suggest that--contrary to what you state--preventing Russia from being "great" again should not be a cornerstone of our foreign policy. Foreign policy should not be regarded as a zero sum game, simply because that's not realistic and because it's also dangerous and unrealistic to invest any regime with a mantle of moral goodness beyond specific situations. Power corrupts. It's the human condition.

In this concrete situation, the US--certainly going back as far as the Clinton years and including ALL subsequent US regimes--has pursued a wrongheaded policy with regard to Russia. That policy has caused significant harm in human terms and cannot be justified on moral grounds. That same judgment can be applied in a variety of other aspects of our foreign policy during those years.

I say all of the above without being an admirer of Russian governance--now or previously.

Yalta led to the imprisonment of Eastern Europe. I would call that evil. That led to the Cold War which has never really ended. The West was duped by the so called fall of the Soviet Union. Soviet defector Golytsin predicted this would happen. I think Trump was a realist with Russia and China. He treated Putin with great respect but also realized the natural gas pipeline would make much of Europe dependent on Russian energy. I don’t believe Trump trusted German leadership. ( which was smart) the Bush and Obama foreign policy went from really bad to really really bad! And now we have Obama part Two. The grotesque pullout in Afghanistan, the green light for the gas pipeline and lately the lifting of sanctions on Iran. Not to mention the two or so million foreigners who have crashed our southern border. Many are not from this hemisphere. What could go wrong ? So I guess I kinda agree with you that our foreign policy has been bad since at least 1945. And our Corporations have completely sold out to Chinese interests. The Brandon crime family has made millions in China, Ukraine, Iraq and Russia. Biden has to be greatly compromised. Covid has been used to “ fundamentally change America” and the West. The World is a mess. And whatever comes out of this mess will not be benevolent. I know I’m rambling here. Too much coffee. The only good guys I see are the common people rising up. Canadian truckers doing everything in their power to turn the tide. If they lose Canada is done as a free people.

I'm happy to blame Dems, but these mistakes were bipartisan.

GOPers as well participated in the rape of Russia and Ukraine--rather than attempting to integrate Russia into the West. This also led to immense human suffering and alienated from the West populations that were emerging from Communist horror. The GOP was fully supportive of our overthrow of the Ukrainian government, of the foolish adventurism in Georgia, and now attempted coups or color revolutions in Kazakhstan and Belarus.

GOPers also supported the wars in Iraq--a huge gift to Iran--Libya, and Syria. The cost in lives, injured, population displacement caused by these misguided policies has been enormous. The US supported--and still supports--al Qaeda and ISIS, who slaughter Christians. Overthrowing Gaddafi has led to chaos across much of northern Africa.

These policies have deep roots in the Bush era, although they began with Clinton.

Ironically, Bush 1, a not very popular GOP prez, was ridiculed for his Chicken Kiev speech, but it turned out to be a better idea.

Trump was ousted by our Deep State/Establishment for opposing these policies. Obama himself made a few ineefectual attempts to rein in the Deep State.

Americans need to wake up to all of the above.

A white non progressive guy using the N word no matter the context is an unforgivable sin. But if you are a Leftist progressive you can have multiple old photos show up with you wearing black face or even wearing a klan headress and you will be forgiven. If it’s even mentioned? I wonder if Spotify will use this to try and cancel Rogan

The more the Left gains control the more they will eat anyone who dissents. Stern has become a woke ahole on Covid mandates and vaxxes so his past will be forgotten I’m thinking.

Wokeism has no principles--it's strictly situational.
