Club of Rome Red-faced! Tiger Woods Debased! California Waste! French Masons Disgraced!
“Joe Rogan warns America faces dystopian ‘Children of Men’-type future because of chemicals in food” (Daily Mail)
Joe and his podcast guest—an epidemiologist—are referring to a decline in the birthrate due to plastics in our food.
Long before today’s climate-policy think tanks there was the Club of Rome, a gathering of scientists, economists, and industrialists who warned in the 1960-70s that the planet was heading for a catastrophic breaking point because of overpopulation.
Which means the world has now moved from fearing too many people to worrying about too few.
Lesson: Don’t get too passionate about trendy beliefs and causes.
Mother Nature has been running the planet for 4.5 billion years. She doesn’t need our permission—and she rarely follows our forecasts.

“Tiger Woods boasted to cop he called President Trump before DUI arrest, bodycam video reveals” (California Post)
“Do you know who I am?” (Restaurant hostesses in Montecito hear this dumbass question more than they should.)
The correct answer: “Yup—you’re someone who could use a year in a monastery.” (Or however long it takes for your ego to dissolve.)
Tiger takes it to new heights: “I was just talking to the president.”
Where did it get him?
Cuffed. Because honest cops don’t a give a rat’s ass about entitlement.
Leave the car home, spoiled brat. Other lives are at stake.
“Gavin Newsom’s Empire of Fraud” (City-Journal)
California has lost at least $180 billion to fraud, according to officials and experts.
That figure is not merely embarrassing. It is Olympic-level embarrassing.
California collects some of the highest taxes in the nation and spends more than $300 billion a year. Yet basic services—from wildfire management to homelessness programs—often seem to produce more press releases than results.
Fraud, meanwhile, appears to have become a growth industry.
Fraud does not flourish because criminals are clever. It flourishes because systems are careless.
When oversight is weak and accountability is rare, the message is unmistakable: Take the money, no one is watching.
In Sacramento, the unofficial state motto increasingly reads: In Fraud We Trust.
Odd facts to consider:
California's population grew 0.4% in the last decade.
The number of state employees grew 24.5%.
And state spending grew 48% (inflation adjusted).

“Californians are discovering that fraud is not a bug, but a feature” (Cali Post)
Independent journalist Nick Shirley: “The rot in California is so deep, one could spend a lifetime investigating it. I was able to find $170 million worth of fraud in just a few days investigating in LA.”

“Murder trial opens over alleged masonic lodge crime network in Paris” (The Guardian)
France has a problem with Masonic (moronic) men who believe secret society membership cards should be synonymous with immunity.
A murder trial has opened in Paris involving a Masonic lodge accused of running what prosecutors describe as freelance hit squad—an outfit staffed by former soldiers, intelligence types, security contractors, and assorted men who watched too many spy movies and were auditioning for the sequel.
The charges are not subtle: murder, attempted murder, extortion, conspiracy. The sort of résumé normally reserved for organized crime families.
Tis story surfaced after a botched assassination attempt in 2020, when armed operatives were caught lurking outside the home of a woman they believed was a Mossad agent.
She wasn’t.
She was a business coach.
Which tells you everything you need to know about the operational standards of this so-called “intelligence network.”
According to prosecutors, the group used the language of national security as camouflage for private vendettas. Disputes over money, contracts, and bruised egos were allegedly rebranded as covert missions. Men with backgrounds in uniform convinced themselves—and others—that they were acting on behalf of the state.
They weren’t.
Put a handful of people in a room who share a badge, a clearance, a funny handshake, and sooner or later ordinary criminals wrap themselves in the trappings of officialdom.
Titles help. Secret rituals help even more.
So does the comforting illusion that belonging to a club—any club—confers moral superiority.
Closed systems breed confidence. Confidence breeds entitlement. Entitlement breeds stupidity.
A bunch of men with connections decided they were untouchable.
They weren’t.
But this question lingers: How could they have believed they would get away with it?
The answer: Masonic membership in France has corrupted their judiciary to such an extent that the view on the bench tends to be Masons will be Masons.

Now, Let’s catch up on a news item from a few months ago that’s all but disappeared from the mainstream narrative…
“US begins secret talks for new military bases in Greenland in stealth US takeover of island after Trump invasion threat” (The Sun)
The rhetoric in January sounded like a Viking raid (or so it was communicated by hysterical mainstream news media).
Truth is, Washington is quietly negotiating for three additional military bases under a defense agreement that’s been around since 1951.
And finally…
File under I for Irony
It transpires that John Fetterman is the most sane member of today’s Democratic Party.

But Basji pursuers reaped a booby prize: the airman’s boxer shorts (and those boobs seem very happy with their trophy. Go figure…).
What a week—whew!
And you should too.
