The Morning Report 6/2/22

Good morning, kids. Thursday and there was another shooting incident this time at a Tulsa, OK medical center. Five dead including the gunman, as well as multiple injuries. The media is likely not going to be all over this since the shooter has been identified as “a Black male between 35-40 years old.” If it doesn’t further the narrative or sends the wrong signals, it’s to be embargoed or otherwise rewritten if possible. You know the drill.

No matter. The constant drumbeat of guns, the Second Amendment and the NRA among other straw men as the cause(s) of mass shootings has always been loud in the wake of these incidents. But Uvalde has cranked it up to a whole new level. Why? Aside from being used as a distraction from the disaster of the Sponge Brain Shits Pants era, for whatever reason, the self-evident logic that guns cannot kill unless a human being pulls the trigger has finally sunk in to the populace at large. And that has caused said populace to want to ask the question of motive. Yes, you’d have to be out of your mind to kill someone let alone nearly two dozen unarmed children. But how did you get to be crazy in the first place? That is a question that the Left does not even want asked, let alone answered. And not only the Left, but too many supposed “conservatives” who get a slice of the grift for playing along.

The shooters, the mass murderers, even most of the terrorists, and essentially all violent criminals (plus many drugs addicts and a majority of the homeless) share this one quality: they are all fatherless.

And no, fatherlessness is not intractable.  These destructive and self-destructive adolescents are not victims of impersonal forces that defy remedy — still less of “irresponsible” fathers who “abandon” them, as the political class invariably reports without evidence.  These falsehoods provide the politicians with excuses to throw up their hands in despair or devise useless, self-serving programs that actually make the problem worse.  The shooters are the products of government policies that intentionally remove children from their fathers and proliferate single-mother homes.  They are the offspring of the two hatcheries that breed fatherless children: the welfare state and the divorce industry.

The social science is unequivocal.  Virtually every major social pathology can be laid at the door of fatherless homes and communities — not race, not poverty.  Single parent homes.  That means crime, truancy, addiction, and more single parents. 

Decade after decade, the problem only worsens until we are left with not only social chaos, but, increasingly, political chaos, too, and even tyranny.  It is easily demonstrable that the BLM riots in 2020 that prepared the way for the leftist takeover of the U.S. government were perpetrated by dysfunctional, violent, and fatherless adolescents.

. . . Conservatives do have a better explanation readily at hand — the only one.  It is a stock conservative platitude that family breakdown will mean civilizational breakdown.  Yet now that it is happening, they ignore the fulfillment of their own prophecies.  Instead, they enact pointless programs designed by the liberals: fatherhood and marriage “promotion,” psychotherapy, child support enforcement, and other make-work for functionaries.

Why?  Because “fatherhood” and “pro-family” groups also make money on these programs that do more harm than good.  Because Republican lawyers (including “Christian” ones) amass huge sums looting families through divorce.  Because conservative leaders fear feminists and lack the spine to stand up to them.  Because vast powers accrue to judicial operators, including Republican ones, as the divorce juggernaut systematically rolls over every limitation on expanding judicial power.

This is quite a good essay but the author does not even mention the weekly Uvaldes happening in inner cities from coast to coast that has been going on for years. Horrible and horrendous as these mass shootings are, despite happening more and more frequently since the name Columbine ingrained itself on our collective memories, they are statistically rare occurrences. Fatherlessness, and all the other pathologies that go along with it are a direct outgrowth of the massive welfare state created by LBJ in 1965. Whether LBJ believed “the (you-know-whos) will be voting for us for 200 years” because their lives would have been improved or because he knew they’d be re-enslaved via the welfare state is irrelevant. 

Nearly 60 years on, black America has been devastated and now, thanks to radical feminism, radical homosexuality and radical transexuality, the traditional family — with the traditional male at the head of the table — has been targeted for termination. We are starting to reap the whirlwind of psychological and even physical castration of men and boys who have been demonized, marginalized and stripped of any meaning, purpose or even dignity in this topsy turvy society that the radical left have created. 

Does this excuse the actions of this shooter and all the other shooters? No. Just as the gun didn’t shoot itself, neither did “society” pull the trigger. But society, mostly of “The Great” variety surely did play a significant role in creating the monsters that perpetrate these acts, whether its Uvalde, Columbine, Marjorie Stoneman Douglas HS, or Cabrini Green, Compton, East St. Louis or half a hundred other hell holes that make Mogadishu look like the Hamptons by comparison. 

Along with every other issue that, sooner or later, is turning into an existential crisis, who will pick up the mantle and call out the Left on their hypocrisy and culpability? Andrew Breitbart’s axiom of politics being downstream of culture is certainly in effect here, just as it is with abortion, transgenderism and other issues that are political winners for our side not just with the base but with growing numbers of disaffected Democrats. If you think it’s the GOP, think again.

Usually, it’s the typical cast of characters who attempt to strip Americans of our constitutional rights: Democrats like Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer. But this time, instead of standing firm against the slimy hands of Washington’s most politically shameless, unprincipled Republicans are also rallying to support a new national gun control regime, with the potential for a renewed federal assault weapons ban, more unconstitutional background checks, and a national red flag law.

Miranda Devine has quite a good column today, and without saying it, she delivers a clarion call for American men, and by extension America itself, to grow a pair.

We ignore the crisis that sees men commit suicide at ever-increasing rates or succumb to drug abuse and porn addiction while savvy young women graduate from college in disproportionate numbers. Trained from childhood to be entitled and unrealistic about relationships, their fertility and the sacrifices and joys of motherhood, many become bitter and blame men for their confusion.

Along the way, we emasculate the institutions that were necessarily masculine for our protection, notably the military. As an example, on Wednesday, the US Marines celebrated Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex Pride Month by tweeting a picture of a combat helmet adorned with rainbow-colored bullets.

So, what do men do? They recoil and retreat. They leave the stage for hysterical epsilon men like Beto O’Rourke who whine and posture but can’t protect a thing.

Then when we need strong, quick-thinking Gary Cooper to save us from outlaws, he’s nowhere to be found.

He has been rendered extinct, leaving 19 kids to be slaughtered inside a classroom while men and women wearing the legacy costume of toxic masculinity stand around waiting for orders.

“We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise,” C.S. Lewis foretold in his dystopian 1943 book The Abolition of Man. 

“We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”
