How is AI Dangerous Right Now?

Posted on May 30, 2025 by jewamongyou

Sometimes, I’ll browse MSN News. It’s good to stay informed on what the Establishment Left is up to. Like it or not, it still shapes the opinions of many millions of people. Sometimes, there’s good fodder for a blog post.

MSN, like so many other legacy news outlets, has deteriorated over the years. Most of its science articles are so dumbed down that they’re practically worthless. Many stories are riddled with typos or just plain bad English. The format, especially the “text-videos,” where we must watch a video to read text, is often annoying; if we’re reading text anyway, then why not just publish an article? A lot of the stories are clickbait or very old news. Some of them consist of a few paragraphs of obvious observations that they throw together, probably to meet a quota of stories.

The story titled “Travel | Why I Stopped Visiting Europe—and You Might Want To, Too” is an example of the last category; it consists of five short paragraphs that essentially point out the fact that there’s been inflation. A commenter by the name of John Hermes points this out:

This author really presents weak defense with obscure reasoning.  Costs are rising everywhere-and most tourist don’t worry or consider their carbon footprint when planning a trip.  Ridicules.

Of course, I wanted to point out that migrant crime might have something to do with the decrease in tourism to Europe.

I tried submitting a comment to that effect, and this was the result:

In the past, certain words would trigger a rejection based on “community guidelines.” I removed the word “migrant” hoping it would go through. No dice:

I ended up with something like this, and it did go through:

However, when I visited the story again, my comment was gone, and this was all that remained of it:

It’s obvious to me that MSN is now using AI to filter content. Instead of looking for specific words, AI is now good enough to figure out what a comment is actually saying, and it acts accordingly. MSN is absolutely phobic about anything negative being said about migrants in Europe, and its AI filter won’t allow it.

In nature, imperfection is perfection. Squirrels aren’t 100% efficient at digging up the nuts they buried earlier in the year – and this benefits them. The result is more trees sprouting from those forgotten nuts.

Imagine what life would be like if our memories were perfect. Most of us would end up committing suicide by age 40. Too many bad memories, regrets, guilty feelings and grudges would destroy us. Forgetfulness is a blessing.

Would any of us enjoy living in a society where the rule of law was perfect, where every infraction was guaranteed to lead to punishment? It would be hell on Earth. Imperfect law-enforcement is perfect law-enforcement.

Similarly, a perfect (or near-perfect) AI is anti-human. It’s stifling and oppressive. If we can’t get around the censors, then provocative ideas are silenced. We become a society of mindless robots.

The Push Toward Extremism is Ongoing

Posted on May 26, 2025 by jewamongyou

Back when I was religious, I noticed the tendency for people to compete with each other for who can be the most devout. If being devout is a good thing, then surely, being MORE devout is even better. This sort of competition doesn’t often end well. Over generations, it distorts a religion to the point of being ridiculous. Things that were once considered “going the extra mile” (מדת חסידות) end up becoming requirements. Balance and moderation are lost, and in its stead, we get religious paranoia and frenzy. The exact opposite of what a good and benevolent God would want.

Neo-Nazis are like Orthodox Jews in this respect. Even if you’re one of them, if you question something the wrong way, or try to inject some common-sense into a conversation, you’ll be accused of being a Jew.

My friend Jason Kessler, though not what I would call a “neo-Nazi,” does have a lot of neo-Nazi types around him. He’s taken a lot of flak for trying to inject common-sense into conversations. He’s been trying to get people to back off from their obsession with Jews and try to be better White people instead. Of course, being a Jew myself, I keep a low profile in such conversations on X.

We’ve seen a lot about “Nigger-fatigue” (AKA “black-fatigue”) recently. A lot of video clips are popping up showcasing bad black behavior – and there’s a lot of it to go around. Some of it is fake, skits or of questionable context. It appears that a lot of people lack real-life experience, and actually believe that the average black woman behaves like Lakisha in the videos.

I’ve lived in many places, interacted with a lot of people and done a lot of travelling. The bad reputation of “sheboons” didn’t materialize out of thin air. I’m reminded of an encounter I had in Denver, many years ago. I was shopping at a supermarket and encountered a sheboon feeding on cookies right off the shelf. She hadn’t paid for it, and she was dropping crumbs all over the place. I stared in disbelief, and she turned to me snarling, “Watchoo lookin’ at?!” One doesn’t engage a wild animal, so I kept walking.

To answer her question, I didn’t know, but if it was human, it was only marginally so. More like some sort of Ghettopithicus.

Since then, however, I’ve met many soft-spoken and refined black ladies. Many of them tipped me well when I drove Uber. I had nice conversations with a lot of them. I’ve seen them here in Dominican Republic. My family members have known some. I’ve worked with some when I had a regular job.

Acknowledging this on X attracts attacks from the usual suspects:

In conclusion, I ask of you, dear reader, to not rush to mindless blanket statements. Don’t be a Christopher, and definitely don’t be a Grover. Be truthful and thoughtful. If you get fewer followers as a result, so be it. Making obviously false and exaggerated statement only discredits White-advocacy in the eyes of those who are on the fence.

None of this negates the fact that White people deserve their own countries, cities and spaces. It’s just that we should heed the Biblical admonishment to “distance ourselves from falsehoods.” (Exodus 23:7).

IQ, Race, and Racism

Posted on May 21, 2025 by jewamongyou

Somebody sent me an article by Erik Engheim that takes some jabs at Race-realism, which he refers to as “racism.” It’s obvious that Engheim considers racism to be evil, and he’s on a mission to destroy it. Living in Oslo, Norway, where there aren’t many black Africans, means he probably hasn’t had the experience of living among black Africans long-term. People who have, such as myself, tend to take a different approach. For us, racial differences are obvious; we don’t need scientific evidence, since we’re confronted with them every day.

When I say, “takes some jabs,” what I mean is that he doesn’t claim to debunk it completely. Similarly, it’s not my intention to write a comprehensive review of his article; just some thoughts that came to mind as I read it. I’ll leave the comprehensive reviews for those more trained and intelligent than myself.

He starts by accusing Race-realists of “abusing science” to:

push for policies such as:

  • Segregation
  • Immigration quotas based on race
  • No bussing
  • Ending affirmative action
  • Cutting or scaling back programs aimed at disadvantaged children

I’ll point out that I vehemently opposed some of them well before I became a Race-realist. I experienced forced desegregation, busing, and Affirmative Action firsthand. All of those are abominations that cost innocent lives or livelihoods. All of the programs he lists come from taxpayer money and were often done against the wishes of local White populations. Even if we reject Race-realism, there are strong objections to all of them, especially when funded by taxes.

Engheim then takes aim at the Transracial Adoption Study, pointing out that the study is flawed because:

  1. Several white adopted children with low IQ scores were lost from the follow-up studies. The Black adopted children who were lost did not have unusually low IQs. This skewed the results.
  2. The study failed to account for the different times at which the children were tested, ignoring the Flynn effect. IQ tests are recalibrated over time. To score 100 on a test today, you must answer more questions correctly than someone who took the same test decades ago. Older scores cannot be directly compared to newer ones—they must be interpreted relative to the average at the time.

While it was considered important in its day, and Rushton cited it often, it’s by no means central to our position; much more recently, Jared Taylor has pointed out that all school districts in the US show the same pattern of academic performance – with Asians scoring highest, then Whites, then Latinos and blacks at the bottom. I’ll quote Grok’s answer when I posed this as a question:

While national data supports the general trend of Asians outperforming Whites, Whites outperforming Latinos, and Latinos outperforming Blacks on average, this pattern does not hold in every U.S. school district. Variations in demographics, socioeconomic status, school quality, and local policies lead to exceptions. For example, in some districts, Latino students may outperform Black students but approach or exceed White students’ performance, or small Asian populations may not consistently lead due to sample size or socioeconomic challenges. Without comprehensive district-level data for all 13,000+ U.S. school districts, the claim cannot be universally confirmed.

It’s important to remember that “Latino,” which generally means “mestizo” in the US, can also include Whites. Many Latinos are, in fact, White. Small sample sizes and disparities within Asian groups do not debunk Mr. Taylor’s claim. Furthermore, when Race-realists say that Asians score the highest, we’re referring specifically to Northeast Asians, not Southeast Asians or Pacific Islanders. US statistics lump them all together.

This phenomenon far outweighs any flaws in decades-old studies.

Next, Engheim attacks the heritability of IQ. He writes:

Why is this important? Because people often assume that a high heritability figure (like 80% for IQ) means the environment cannot significantly alter outcomes. But the Flynn effect—and similar observations for obesity and height—suggest otherwise.

I’m not sure who he’s referring to; I’m not aware of any respectable Race-realists who claim that environment cannot have a significant impact on IQ. Obviously, it can. It’s interesting that Engheim cites the Flynn effect here. He doesn’t seem to be aware that it has reversed in recent years, suggesting that (in most places) the limits of environmental impacts on IQ (for large populations) have been reached, and now we’re left with genetic factors…

… and that brings me to his next point: The high test scores of black British immigrant children.

Looking at British academic performance, if all Black students are grouped together, their average scores are slightly below those of British whites. However, when broken down by national origin, a more nuanced picture emerges. Some Black immigrant groups outperform the white British average on GCSE exams:

  • Nigerians: +21.8%
  • Ghanaians: +5.5%

The most obvious explanation for this is selective migration. Only the most intelligent Nigerians and Ghanaians tend to migrate to the West; they’re the ones who are motivated to improve their station in life.

Edit: Professor Nathan Cofnas has commented (on X):

I would add a question for Engheim’s cultural explanation for why certain African immigrant subgroups perform so well in the UK: Why doesn’t their “culture” work its magic in their country of origin?

Aside from that, not all black Africans are equal; some are more intelligent than others, as Engheim himself alludes to:

When breaking down African subgroups even further, some perform as well as or better than traditionally high-performing groups like Chinese and Indians.

How is this phenomenon linked to the previous point (of environment)? While the brightest Nigerians and Ghanaians migrate to the UK, at the same time, native White British youngsters have been marginalized by their own government. How does one suppose being the victim of Pakistani grooming gangs might impact one’s academic performance? A 2121 BBC article points out that certain segments of White teens in the UK are “left behind.” This may be an understatement, judging from accounts I’ve read on platforms such as X. Governments and school districts have been ignoring pleas for help from White children who are harassed by the children of non-white Migrants. The grooming gangs are just one aspect of this. Authorities routinely turn a blind eye to egregious abuse, including physical beatings and humiliation when the victims are White. Are we to believe that this has no effect on academic performance?

Engheim then dusts off the tired argument that the black-White IQ gap has been disappearing. It’s an odd claim to make, since race-egalitarians have been saying this for decades. A 1998 Brookings article proclaims:

First, black-white differences in academic achievement have narrowed since 1970. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) data on 17-year-olds show that the reading gap narrowed more than two-fifths between 1971 and 1994. The math gap has also narrowed, though not as much. Five major national surveys of high school seniors conducted since 1965 show the same trend.

One wonders when the gap will finally disappear. Over time, it will definitely be reduced – due to miscegenation. This is possibly one reason why young White women are so relentlessly encouraged to date black men. The offspring of such unions are usually considered “black.” This will have the effect of “reducing the racial gap in IQ.” In fact, it’s only smoke and mirrors. When studies are done to show how the racial gap in academics is narrowing, do they take this into consideration? Don’t count on it.

Engheim then writes about black criminality. Here, his arguments are especially flimsy. He seems to believe that Race-realists claim that black criminality is linked ONLY to genetics, without any contributions from culture or education. This would be an absurd position to take, and I’m not aware of anybody who claims this.

Bearing this in mind, we can clearly see that Engheim resorts to a straw man argument:

Racists are often eager to claim that the disproportionate number of African-Americans shot by police or incarcerated is simply the natural order of things—a genetic predisposition to crime rooted in what they view as inferior genes.

Let’s examine the validity of this claim. African-Americans, on average, have 16–24% European ancestry. According to “race realists” (i.e., modern-day racists), this should make African-Americans up to 25% “better” than Africans—more intelligent and less prone to crime—due to the supposed superiority of white genes.

He goes on to compare homicide rates for various African countries with the homicide rates of American blacks – which are often higher. Is Engheim completely oblivious to the fact that American blacks are bombarded with hateful CRT rhetoric from cradle to grave? Does he lack any knowledge of the toxic ghetto/crime culture that permeates American black communities? I can only wonder whether Engheim has lived his life in a cave or if he’s being intentionally dishonest.

I live in a majority-black/mulatto country. American blacks have a certain reputation here, even among those who share their skin-color. Intact cultures, religions and traditions can go a long way toward curbing crime, even when genetics push in the opposite direction.

Proof of Racism in the American Justice System is the next topic. Engheim’s position is that American blacks do commit more crime, but they’re also subject to racism which causes even higher arrest numbers. His evidence? A Maryland study that compares crack cocaine possession sentences. There is a large disparity between convictions for Whites and for blacks for the same amounts of the drug:

It gets around a difficult problem. When cops arrest an African-American it is very hard to determine in an individual case whether he is grossly exaggerating the crime to get a higher sentence because the defendant is black rather than white.

However under the right circumstances such a bias can cause a statistical anomaly proving the prejudice. This is what we see here. The convictions around 280–290 gram for blacks is far above other sentences. This is highly unrealistic. There is no reason why criminals should choose to have a quantity of drugs exactly within this range. However because there are advantages to the police starting from 2010 in term of getting higher convictions, they have an incentive to lie and exaggerate to put defendants in that bracket.

Unfortunately, the actual study requires a sign-up, which I refuse to do. I’ll leave an analysis for somebody else. I will point out, however, that many judges practice “Restorative Justice.” This means they actively give lighter sentences to black defendants than to White ones. On top of that, it appears (at least in UK) that black jurors discriminate against Whites, but not the other way around:

If anything, it is MORE likely that this is the case in the US, where black racial identity is strongly encouraged:

An American 2023 study did, indeed, uncover jury bias against White people.

There have been several instances where black murderers were set free because black jurors refused to convict. One notable example was O.J. Simpson. One of his black jurors later admitted that he voted to acquit out of racial loyalty. Therefore, even if there is judicial racism against blacks, the odds are (in my opinion) that there is much more racism against Whites in today’s system.

Engheim then goes on to attack “assumptions about race and IQ” because “we humans have been so profoundly wrong about race all through history.”

To this I say, why stop there? We’ve been wrong about astronomy, medicine, metallurgy, chemistry and physics. Let’s dump all those pseudo-sciences!

Similarly, Engheim points out that early IQ tests were flawed – and Race-realists of the early 20th century made similar claims, about Southern Europeans, as we do about blacks today. He claims that “the science didn’t add up.” Actually, it did. Southern Europeans do tend to have lower average IQs than Northern Europeans. In the US, they also had higher crime-rates. Be that as it may, being wrong in the past doesn’t negate an entire field of science (defined as “a quest to know the truth”). Engheim’s approach here is childish and simplistic. There were many things we were wrong about a hundred years ago. We correct course and keep searching. We don’t conclude that questions on that topic are no longer allowed.

Engheim concludes by summarizing the claims of Jared Diamond in Guns, Germs and Steel to explain why much of Africa is backward. I’ve already dealt with those arguments here. He links to another article he wrote that addresses this topic in more detail. Perhaps I’ll read it in the future and review it as well.

I’ll try to leave a link to this review in Engheim’s comments. Perhaps he and I can have a civil debate – despite my, admittedly, harsh words here.

Update: It’s been two full days since I posted the URL of this critique on his substack – and there has been no acknowledgement of it at all. Meanwhile, the comments are mostly gushing over his “open-minded and scientific” article. It appears that this flock of race-denialists prefer to pat themselves on the back in their echo-chambers rather than expose themselves to critical thinking. I’ll let y’all know if this changes.

Charlie Kirk’s Binary View of the World

Posted on May 16, 2025 by jewamongyou

Charlie Kirk does a lot of good in the world. He’s very intelligent and a great debater, but this doesn’t mean he’s always right. It simply means he’s good at making people THINK he’s right. He’s usually right, but not always.

Please watch this video:

In Kirk’s mind, there are only two possibilities: A mass of cells is a human, or it’s NOT a human. There is no grey area, no intermediate state:

Regardless of which traits we use to determine who is “human,” reality is more like this:

Where we draw the line will always be arbitrary. At some point, at either extreme, there is usually consensus. In some cultures, even newborn infants weren’t considered fully human; their mortality was high and they’re fully dependent on adults for their survival. I’m not advocating for cultural relativism; I’m simply stating a fact. We have different levels of humanity, and we consider someone “human” or not depending on the circumstances. We consider someone worthy of life, or not, depending on the circumstances.

In the Book of Exodus 21:22-23:13, we read:

22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her children depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,

There is disagreement as to whether the words “Her children depart from her” refers to a miscarriage or premature birth. However, Rashi (the most famous Jewish Bible commentator) explains that it refers to a miscarriage. Hence, we see that there is a mainstream Jewish opinion that considers the life of an unborn child to be less valuable than the life of the mother.

Based on his binary thinking, Charlie Kirk goes on to imply that a woman should be forced to carry the child of her rapist. I find this repulsive. The life of an unborn child has value. It has a lot of value – but so does the autonomy of the woman. If she was impregnated against her will, then she has every right to abort the baby.

Why the Sudden Jump in my Traffic?

Posted on May 4, 2025 by jewamongyou

The Jewamongyou blog has been up since 2010. For most of its history, it’s had close to no traffic. This never bothered me, as I use this blog more to vent than anything else. It’s also important for me as a repository. Instead of re-typing various arguments and insights, I simply store them here and link to them as needed. It’s convenient.

Something changed in February of this year, and I just now noticed it; I don’t check my stats very often because, as stated, they’re not very important to me.

Upon further inspection, I noticed that all of a sudden I’m getting hits from search engines. Before February, I got virtually no hits from search engines. What changed?

I can’t find the post now, if there even was one, but a few years ago, The Mad Jewess and I compared notes about our Google search reach. We both reached the conclusion that Google was censoring both of us. We both took that as a compliment; it’s an honor to be considered “dangerous” by Google. However, this meant that very few people wandered our way via internet searches.

Now, all of a sudden, it’s different, at least for me. Mad Jewess, if you’re reading this, tell me if you’ve also noticed a change in your traffic.

What happened? My guess is that Google is afraid of the Trump administration, and this has led it to change its policies.

Why the Media Silence on the Shiloh Hendrix Story?

Posted on May 3, 2025 by jewamongyou

At first blush, the Shiloh Hendrix story has all the elements of a news story legacy media loves. It involves a blonde “karen” being racist toward a black child, a good Samaritan black man coming to the child’s rescue, and an outpouring of goodwill toward Hendrix that can easily be viewed as evidence of widespread racism. These are the sort of motifs legacy media promotes. MSN, ABC, CNN etc. should be all over this story…

… but they’re not. Here are the top Google search results for “Shiloh Hendrix:”

With the exception of Star Tribune, KTTC and Newsweek, it’s all social media sites, blogs or Indian media. Times Now is Indian. The three legacy news outlets listed all provide poor-quality articles, lacking specifics or any hard questions.

Considering the success of Hendrix’s GiveSendGo campaign, the reason seems obvious: Legacy media is loath to add fuel to the flames of this nascent White solidarity. They know that many of their readers might ask inconvenient questions about the case, and possibly even be inspired to donate their OWN money to the cause. This is the last thing legacy media wants; antiwhitism is central to their worldview.

What would those “inconvenient questions” be?

Regarding the black man who came to the child’s rescue, who is he? It turns out he’s not exactly a “good Samaritan.”

Why was the black child rummaging through Hendrix’s things? Doesn’t this “perpetuate stereotypes?”

Where were this kid’s parents? The Somali man who intervened is (apparently) not his father.

The child is reported as being “autistic.” Is he really? In his excellent column, Gregory Hood quotes Daniel Greenfield on X:

What kind of parent would leave his 5-year-old autistic child alone in the park with an alleged rapist?

I’ll add a more pertinent question to the list: What gives the local NAACP the authority to have the police start an investigation? That alone should cause concern. The fact that the police acquiesced to the NAACP’s demand illustrates the extreme disparity of political power between blacks and Whites. White people have no advocacy group and no sway over the police when it comes to the advancement of White people as a group.

When I ask normies about the case, they have no idea what I’m talking about. The primary engine of ignorance among normies is their dependance on legacy media. When all they know about the world is “news” that’s filtered by the likes of CNN, it should come as no surprise that their views match those of CNN.

If you’re reading this post, please do what you can to educate the normies in your life. You won’t be able to change their minds right away, but it is possible to create cracks in the legacy media dam that prevents them from knowing about unapproved news stories. Ask them casually, “So… what are your thoughts on the Shiloh Hendrix incident?” When they respond that they’re not familiar with it, ask them why. When they respond with the predictable “I’m not a news junkie” response (or something along those lines), you can point out that they’re very much familiar with the stories legacy media wants them to know about.

Note: The original version of this post had Hendrix’s name misspelled as “Hendricks.” I’ve corrected it and updated the post as needed.

The Use of the Word “Nigger”

Posted on May 2, 2025 by jewamongyou

I’ll start by quoting myself from an old Quora answer; it deserves to be on this blog:

Should saying the “n” word get you arrested?

Its use should be encouraged. It’s a word that has (or CAN have) a specific meaning. As such, it’s useful.

There’s a subculture of urban blacks where individuals refer to each other as such. They dress a certain way, speak a certain way, listen to a specific type of music and have certain values.

It’s efficient when a language has specific words to describe specific things. If I want to refer to a member of the above subculture, I should be allowed to use the word that they use for each other. I don’t want to have to beat around the bush, and use inaccurate, and convoluted, terms such as “urban black,” “inner-city black,” “ghetto black” etc. – because plenty of black denizens of the inner-city/ghetto are NOT members of this subculture. It’s not fair to include them.

It’s also the case that some members of this subculture are not gang members. So calling them “gangsters,” “gangstas” or even “thugs” is not accurate either.

Whatever word we use for them is going to be considered “racist” anyway, so why not just use the word they use for each other?

I wrote that five years ago. More recently, a White mother has gained a lot of unwanted attention for using the word “nigger” on a pickaninny who was trying to steal some of her stuff at a park. Evidently, the niglet ran away, and an adult porch monkey confronted her. She gave the coon the finger as she walked away. The jigaboo, apparently trained in the use of human tools, managed to get a video of the interaction and doxed her.

The doxing has caused much grief for her and her family. Here’s the text from her GiveSendGo crowd funding page:

Help Me Protect My Family

Hello!

My name is Shiloh and I have been put into a very dire situation. I recently had a kid steal from my 18month old sons diaper bag at a park. I called the kid out for what he was. Another man, who we recently found out has had a history with law enforcement, proceeded to record me and follow me to my car. He then posted these videos online which has caused my family, and myself, great turmoil. My SSN has been leaked. My address, and phone number have been given out freely. My family members are being attacked. My eldest child may not be going back to school. Even where I exercise has been exposed.

I am asking for your help to assist in protecting my family. I fear that we must relocate. I have two small children who do not deserve this. We have been threatened to the extreme by people online. Anything will help! We cannot, and will not live in fear!

Thank You

Yes, I donated a modest amount myself. It’s important to support this woman, whether we believe her actions/words were appropriate or not. Supporting her sends a message that White people are tired of being trampled on, abused, marginalized, maligned and displaced. Even if the Federal Government is only making baby steps in recognizing that White people have rights, private citizens should be more aggressive. We need to learn racial solidarity from black-Americans; they’ve rallied behind a confessed cold-blooded killer. They’ve raised a lot of money on the killer’s behalf, paid (separately) for his bond, lionized him and defended him at every step. Shiloh simply called a spade a spade.

Also, it turns out that the subhuman that recorded her and doxed her is an alleged rapist:

We’ve been chipping away at the shackles known as “political correctness/wokeness” for a while. We’ve recently seen a resurgence of the word “retarded.” Now we need to work on the word “nigger.” It’s a useful word, and whether Shiloh used it correctly or not is almost irrelevant.

Facing MAGA Ignorance Head-on

Posted on April 30, 2025 by jewamongyou

There’s been a huge uptick in fake news on X and other platforms. It appears that every conservative fantasy now manifests itself as a bogus claim – to be accepted uncritically by an uneducated and gullible public.

Just today, I saw a claim that Putin is demanding the extradition of Anthony Fauci as part of any peace deal:

It’s worth noting that the author of this tweet has almost half a million followers. I asked him for a good source, stating that I’ll interpret his non-response as an admission that he has none. The vast majority of comments appear to accept this report as truth.

One phenomenon I see over and over again is staged confrontations, sometimes featuring stupid black behavior and sometimes attacks on MAGA people. Even when they’re obviously staged, most of the comments express outrage; people never stop to ask themselves how it is that the camera is perfectly focused on the subjects just before the troubles start. They never seem interested in doing even some basic research before assuming it’s authentic. For example:

A few days ago, I found this one, and it’s from an account that I follow:

Sassafrass saw the Community Note and chose to keep her tweet up. I, for one, was dumbfounded that anybody would tweet this in the first place.

In a comment, Sassafrass explains herself:

Sassafrass84

It’s just a psa since we are all here. The post is community noted. I don’t get paid from this post. So you can rest assured that I’m not getting squat. But this is so fun. Reading the comments. I have gotten the race card pulled. (Yes, I don’t want muslims taking over America.) Called stupid. That may be, but stupid is as stupid does. Some of y’all can’t even write properly. So sit down. Let it rip tater chip. I have zero flips over here.

Indeed… however, most of the ignorant comments have been deleted once people realized what was going on. I wish I’d gotten screenshots from before.

I don’t want this to be a very long post, so I won’t post more examples, but every day brings new ones. I believe that it’s a combination of lefties poisoning the waters and grifters seeking clicks. I do wish there were better penalties for spreading misinformation.

Take your pick: Well-meaning ignorant MAGAs or brainwashed zombie lefties.

Facing MAGA Idiocy Head-On

Posted on April 16, 2025 by jewamongyou

Sometimes the people who respect do stupid things. Take Libs of TikTok for example:

If we read the actual document that she cites, we see that it contains no evidence that Garcia was a gang member, only that he was hanging out with a couple of guys who were. Also, the document conspicuously omits page 3. The end of the included page (page 2) concludes:

“Officers then interview Kilmar Armando…”

Shame on Libs of Tiktok posting something as obviously false as this. But it doesn’t end there.

Libs of TikTok comments on her own post with yet another document, which also doesn’t prove what she claims it proves. All it shows is that Garcia was in the US illegally, and that he was detained by police for a murder investigation – not that he was charged, convicted or affiliated with a gang. It does state, near the top, that he “has been identified as a member/active of M.S.13” but it provides no actual evidence.

Finally, she concludes with a third document, which is merely a court’s opinion that Garcia cannot demonstrate that he’s not a danger to the community:

There is no solid evidence that Garcia was a member of MS-13 or any other gang. In fact, here’s what Grok has to say about it:

The evidence suggesting Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was a gang member, specifically with MS-13, is weak and heavily disputed. The primary claim stems from a 2019 immigration hearing where a confidential informant alleged he was part of an MS-13 clique in New York, a place he has never lived. This was supported by a Prince George’s County police report noting he wore a Chicago Bulls hat and hoodie, items commonly associated with gang culture but not conclusive. The informant’s reliability is questionable, as the officer who provided the information was later suspended for misconduct, and the claim passed through multiple layers of hearsay without cross-examination.

Abrego Garcia has consistently denied gang affiliation, and no charges or convictions related to gang activity exist in the U.S. or El Salvador. His attorneys argue the government has produced no credible evidence, a point echoed by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis in 2025, who called the gang allegations “a singular unsubstantiated allegation” and noted the government abandoned this claim in her court. Immigration judges in 2019 denied him bond based on the informant’s claim, but this was not a ruling of gang membership, as the burden was on Abrego Garcia to prove he was not a danger, not on the government to prove he was a gang member.

Is Libs of TikTok getting sloppy or is it something more sinister?

Of the 368 comments to this tweet, almost all of them assume that the document proves Garcia was a gang member. Almost NONE of them bothered to read it, or perhaps they simply lack critical thinking skills. A few other comments point this out, but we’re a tiny minority.

What it looks like to me is that Garcia MIGHT have been affiliated with a gang and he MIGHT have actually fled El Salvador because gangs were putting his life in danger. After President Bukele cleaned up the streets of El Salvador, Garcia was obligated to return home; his life should no longer have been in danger. He didn’t, and now he’s suffering for it.

My tentative opinion is that Garcia should have been deported, but not under these circumstances. The Trump administration, and its cheerleaders, need to learn some humility, admit when they are wrong, and correct their course.

What about people like Sen. Chris Van Hollen who are championing Garcia’s cause, and claiming to believe in “due process?” Van Hollen was nowhere to be found when an illegal alien, in his own state, murdered an American woman:

It’s worth noting that Van Hollen was silent when non-violent J6 defendants were being tortured in prison for what should have been minor misdemeanors. Where was he when the Unite the Right defendants had their First Amendment rights stripped away from them? Where was his concern for “due process” then?

Update:

Somebody posted page 3 from the report:

From the tweet:

Let’s tell another story about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This one has to do with his lawyer, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, and how a 4th Circuit judge (and the entire media) effectively got duped into underplaying the evidence that Abrego-Garcia was in MS-13.

It’s as likely that Moshenberg is Jewish as it is that Garcia is MS-13. That is to say, very likely. Shameful!

Put the Palestinian Students to Work!

Posted on April 12, 2025 by jewamongyou

At the end of World War II, the US government implemented Operation Paperclip. Nazi scientists, who otherwise might have faced international courts for war crimes, were instead put to work advancing America’s scientific and industrial ambitions.

Since some Nazis were good at building rockets, the US government reasoned that they might as well take advantage of their expertise.

Now that the Trump administration has the green light to deport troublesome Palestinian visa-holders, it can go ahead and flush them all from the US… but should it?

I have a better idea: Operation Paperclip II. Since the Palestinians are expert tunnel builders, put them to work on Elon Musk’s Hyperloop tunnels.

Aside from expediting the construction of these tunnels, this program would also serve as a source for creative names for tunnel lines. The Sinwar Express Line or the Khalil Loop come to mind. Underground restaurants would have Islamic themes. The “Allah You Can Eat Buffet” or the “Bin Laden Burger Joint” might be popular. Waiters would wear suicide vests and dishes would be served to look like IEDs. Diners would have a blast.
