I was on vacation last week and, as my plane is taxiing to bring me home, I hear that the state of Oregon has attempted to dispatch their police to round up some senators, at gunpoint, so that the super majority “progressives” can jam a new bill through that will cripple their businesses and finally kill that dying horse off. I found this interview from a week earlier between Joe Parris and Tim Knopp where Tim is explaining why he and all the other Republican senators have fled the state as their last resort.
Oregon has this pesky “quorum” law where a vote can’t happen on a bill if they don’t have at least 20 senators in session. As luck would have it, there are 18 Democrat senators trying to railroad the 12 Republican senators.
Then I find my way into this article mere *hours* before a journalist in Portland is assaulted and robbed by a mob, in sight of police, who do nothing to intervene. This “peaceful protest” swarmed in numbers over a dozen, wearing what sounds to me like motorcycle gloves (fiberglass knuckles), and rained quick-dry concrete and caustic chemicals on an innocent journalist. Pretty much everything they threaten in this article, they actually tried to do to Andy.
NEW THREAT: Antifa Plans Acid Attack on D.C. Free Speech Rally, Promises To Blind Attendees
Say what you want about Bret Weinstein (I find him largely unpalatable), but this interview with Andy is fair. Andy apparently also did Tucker, but I don’t watch regular TV.
So what’s the point? The point, brothers, is that this summer is just heating up. If you have the misfortune of living in one of about 5 progressive strongholds (Portland being the most dangerous, followed by Chicago or San Francisco IMHO), be safe. The lunatics not only run the asylum, they’ve commandeered the entire town. They’re looking for blood and trying to control the narrative with violence and force. Plan accordingly.
Personally, I plan to do the most cruel thing I can think of–just sit back and wait. These mindless thugs are indiscriminately assaulting and beating up anybody that isn’t immediately identifiable as in-group. I’ve seen them taking pipes and bike locks to old men, keying cars and smashing windows and break lights on tourists who came to spend fking money in their liberal sh!tholes, and the police in all of these leftist towns are operating under orders to just let it happen.

“Let us wait a little; when your enemy is executing a false movement, never interrupt him” –Napoleon Bonaparte, 1805i am going to write this piece without any effort to persuade anyone. whether you believe it or not, that is ok with me.
i would post and comment more, but one of the main reasons i do not is because i mourn.
i mourn because i know more now about how things actually are…
a number of years ago i came upon many sources that agreed in their description of a breakdown event.
this is not the slow global collapse we are all seeing that happens slowly over a long period of time in stages.
no, this event is different. i don’t know exactly what it will be, and i definitley do not know when.
all i know is that this event will be so catastophic and so life altering for everyone on this planet, that the suceeding events will be nothing short of a cascading global breakdown.
the loss of life will be great. but that is not the real tragedy.
because of what i know, according to divine justice the sin of a human being must be atoned for by the blood of Jesus’ cross, otherwise they have no covering of sin before the Father after they die.
there is also the matter of whether or not the soul repented (ongoing repentance) from sin, whether or not the soul served God to an acceptable extent according to Him, and whether or not the soul developed a relationship with God.
“not everyone who says to me, Lord Lord, shall enter, but he who does the will of my Father shall enter”
“if you love me, obey my commandments”
“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
….
unfortunately because God has standards He imposes as a result of His requirements, His nature, and His justice, the sad truth is that most souls do not go to heaven, but fall into eternal perdition.
when this key event occurs, there will be a large influx of souls into eternity, much more than the ebb and flow of the normal death rates on this planet at various degrees of peace and war.
sadly, of this large influx of souls at these future times, there will be a large flow of souls into eternal damnation, and only a small flow of souls into eternal rest.
“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”
MEN OF MGTOW!!! I CALL TO YOU AT THE TOP OF MY VOICE FOR THE SAKE OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
ENTER AT THE NARROW GATE! LEAVE BEHIND THE SIN AND VAIN VISIONS FOR PERSONAL EMPIRES THAT WILL ONLY CRUMBLE INTO DUST!
for all of us will stand before the Maker of the Worlds, and the decision He makes in regard to all of us will be final.
who cares whether other men approve of you or not? What is more valuable than eternal life and a future of bliss that never ends?
Fornication with women? Hoarding of money? a life of self gain?
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY ALL THE CLAIMS OF MGTOW MEN AS TO WHAT MATTERS AND WHAT DOES NOT.
God has already begun judging the world. we all see what is happening to the environment, the governments, the economies,
CRUMBLING IN SLOW MOTION!

34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
What do you know? Great when a LAW FIRM just tells it how it is.
RIGHT at the very end of the article THEY WROTE, it tells it how it is:
” An equal parenting-time presumption would result in child support awards that would dramatically be reduced in many cases. But more importantly, the Illinois bill would create an uphill battle for individuals such as victims of domestic violence to combat equal parenting time schedules.”
And if you read from the START, LET ME JUST MAKE SURE YOU GOT THIS PART THEY MADE SURE YOU WOULD KNOW IT WAS THE EVIL BAD MEN!
“…This is part of a national outreach from organizations such the National Parents Organization, whose original name was the Foundation for Fathers and Families….”
In fact, it tells you JUST what these Family courts are here to do and who they support. In fact blatantly lying that only 10% of families have problems with custody. In fact they make it sound like that men get it already at 50%. Well SURE! If you just cut out the numbers ofd the ones that do divorce without a DV charge. Out of that small number, I bet you it is 50% of like.. 100 people. Hmm.
Article bellow for all of you to look at while this site is still up. Hope Garg still does back ups here.
In 2018, the 50/50 parenting time bill created controversy in Illinois. Proponents were from the father’s rights camp and steadfastly promoted the 50/50 parenting-time presumption. There were strong-arm tactics to try to push through the various 50/50 parenting bills in 2018. This is part of a national outreach from organizations such the National Parents Organization, whose original name was the Foundation for Fathers and Families.
HB 185 (and Committee Amendment No. 1) renews the push from the father’s rights community to enact a 50/50 presumption in Illinois. And this parenting time bill is beginning to get press with the Chicago Mayoral candidate, LaShawn Ford being its main sponsor and biggest backer. The Illinois chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers has voted unanimously against both HB 185 as HCA No. 1.
The Original Bill: The original bill would change the definition section to provide that, “the involvement of both parents for equal time is presumptively in the best interests of the children.” It would eliminate the language, “Nothing in this Act requires that each parent be allocated decision-making responsibilities.”
It would further amend 750 ILCS 5/602.7 regarding Allocation of Parental Responsibilities: Parenting Time and would provide: “Unless the parents present a mutually agreed written parenting plan and that plan is approved by the court, the court shall allocate parenting time. There would be a rebuttable presumption that it is in the child’s best interests to award equal time to each parent.”
Regarding findings, it would have similar provisions to the child support guidelines and the maintenance guidelines. It would create a mandate that if the court were to deviate from the presumption for equal parenting time, the court would have to issue a written decision setting forth its specific findings of fact and conclusions of law in support of the deviation. More specifically, the law would provide: “If the court deviates from the presumption contained in this subsection, the court shall issue a written decision stating its specific findings of fact and conclusions of law in support of the deviation from the presumption.”
Regarding restrictions on parenting time, it would make an already difficult proposition even more difficult. It would provide within 750 ILCS 5/603.10, “The court shall issue a written decision stating its specific findings of fact and conclusions of law in support of its ruling.”
House Committee Amendment No. 1: HCA No. 1 is a delete and replace amendment. It would make three critical changes to Illinois parental allocation law.
Implication that Equal Decision Making Required: It would first remove from Illinois the provision: “Nothing in this Act requires that each parent be allocated decision-making responsibilities.” By implication regarding rules of construction, it could be argued that the amendments would require equal decision making. The 2016 rewrite to the 600 series of the IMDMA sought to gently remind judges that they must follow the best interests of children standard. One of the tools available to the judge in advancing this concept is the provision that nothing in this Act requires that each parent be allocated decision-making responsibilities. It affirms that children’s best interest come first. Nothing is gained by deleting this reminder nor is it understood what are the unintended consequences of its deletion.
Conflation of Standards Applying to Third Parties with Standards Applying to Each Parent: HCA No. 1 would also presume not only that both parents are fit but also provide, at Section 602.7, that:
It is presumed both parents are fit and fit parents act in the best interest of their children, therefore the court shall not place any restrictions on parenting time as defined in Section 600 and described in Section 603.10, unless it finds by a preponderance of the evidence…
The amendment confuses the “fitness” standard applicable to third-party litigation against natural parents with the best interests’ standard concerning parenting time in an action between natural parents. Constitutionally, there are certain rights that fit parents have against non-parents including grandparent visitation case law. Current law already acknowledges that it is presumed both parents are fit parents in order to minimize potential litigation between the parents. But House Bill 185 attempts to take language that protects natural parents from third party litigation against the parents and apply it to litigation that is between parents. Parents, fit or not, do not always act in the best interests of their children when their own interests are involved. If they did, there would be no need for judicial intervention, because parents would simply “do the right thing” and put their children’s best interests above their own, always. These are case-by case determinations.
Deletion of the Critical Third Statutory Factor in Allocating Parenting Time: It would delete the third statutory factor in allocating parenting time. This factor did not incorporate the approximation rule in the American Law Institute’s treatise but it did allow the court to consider the parent’s previous caretaking pattern. Thus, the amendment would eliminate the factor that reads:
the amount of time each parent spent performing caretaking functions with respect to the child in the 24 months preceding the filing of any petition for allocation of parental responsibilities or, if the child is under 2 years of age, since the child’s birth.
By eliminating this statutory factor, it would purposefully remove the provision in Illinois law that allows a judge to consider the family’s previous pattern of caretaking for the children. Under rules of statutory construction, the amendment would therefore prevent the judge from considering the amount of time each parent spent performing caretaking functions of the children before the divorce occurred. It makes no practical sense to eliminates judicial consideration of perhaps the most important factor in determining what arrangements will best serve the children post-divorce: the arrangements the parties themselves had in place before divorce. Which parent has done what is a critical criterion for the judge to consider in determining how to minimize disruption in a child’s life from the parent’s divorce.
General Comment: Illinois law was already radically changed regarding the entire Section 600 series of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. Those changes in our statutory law framework should be given greater time to settle rather than continue to make a change such as a 50/50 presumption. As a result of the 2016 rewrite to Illinois law, we have already seen parenting plans in Illinois be far more “father friendly.” Our income-shares statute also gave the non-residential parent an incentive in a sense to day-count. More on point, it gives the non-residential parent seeking to pay a lower child award, the incentive to count overnights. That has become the new norm because of the provisions in the Illinois income-shares law that provide for a significant reduction in support if a parent has at least 146 overnights per year.
Proponents of bills such as this conflate shared parenting-time schedules with 50/50 parenting-time presumptions. The trend that we have seen in Illinois toward more and more shared parenting time schedules provide for a more equitable allocation of parenting time has been a good thing. A one-size-fits-all 50/50 parenting time presumption would not be.
What we have seen with the maintenance guidelines is that while they were posted as a “starting place” they have in fact become the norm. The same thing is predicted for what would happen with parenting plans if there were a 50/50 parenting time presumption. Such as presumption would not be centered around what is in the best interest of the children. There are cases where equal parenting time is appropriate. But we see from other states that once this is a presumption it becomes the norm and it is only in the rare case that it is varied from.
Nationwide Trends: A good recent article on the national trend is a 2016 Pew Article. That article had stated:
Laws that encourage shared parenting may sound “seductive” to state lawmakers, but they often force families into bad situations, said Maritza Karmely, a professor at Suffolk University Law School in Boston. Bar associations, judges and lawyers have come out against some of the proposals.
“A presumption is a pretty radical step,” Karmely said. “That assumes that shared parenting works for most families, and I think that is an enormous assumption.”
What we have seen nationally is that red states tend have tend to award equal parenting time. For example, in Wisconsin there is a provision that there is a rebuttable presumption that the parties will not be able to cooperate regarding decision making issues in cases of domestic abuse. But in Wisconsin the law provides that each parent shall have regularly occurring, meaningful periods of physical placement with each parent. But that is not tantamount to a presumption of equal placement. Nationally, a father is likely to receive somewhat more than 35% of the parenting time (but note that this is based upon outdated statistics). Yet currently we are seeing a push for equal parenting time presumptions and it is anticipated that there will be a continue to be a push for this one-size-fits-all “solution.”
A December 2017 Washington Post article summarized:
The legal push for custody arrangements follows years of lobbying by fathers’ rights advocates who say men feel alienated from their children and overburdened by child-support obligations. This movement is gaining new traction with support from across the political spectrum, as more lawmakers respond to this appeal for gender equality and, among some conservatives, the frustration of a newly emboldened constituency of men who say they are being shortchanged.
The well-balanced Post article also stated:
Critics of the bills, including women’s rights groups and some legal associations, say that stricter laws will roll back important protections against abusive or controlling former spouses and take discretion away from judges who are tasked with deciding what is in the best interest of children. They also say that the bills, which would directly apply to only the 10 percent or so of divorcing parents who cannot come to an agreement, are unnecessary because more divorcing parents are already choosing shared custody. Laws that require joint physical custody could also lead to the elimination of child support in some states, women’s advocates say, disrupting a system that was designed to help women, who have historically been paid less in the workforce while performing more unpaid labor at home.
The trend toward a more equitable parenting-time split is a helpful one and consistent with the best interest of the children. What we have seen with child support and maintenance guidelines is that a presumption becomes much more than a rule of safe harbor. It becomes the result in all but the most unusual cases. The child support guidelines are based upon statistics regarding the cost of raising a child. An equal parenting-time presumption would result in child support awards that would dramatically be reduced in many cases. But more importantly, the Illinois bill would create an uphill battle for individuals such as victims of domestic violence to combat equal parenting time schedules.
Finally, it appears that the latest attempt via delete and replace amendment of HCA No. 1 is an effort to create less and less judicial discretion in the area of parental allocation. The amendments each are unnecessary and have consequences that cut against the best interest of the children standard.

You can see JUST what they are doing. They are taking your kids away from you since you don’t want to play their game. I spoke about how VAWA is used by EVERY SINGLE LAW FIRM OUT THERE to make money. And it just keeps going on.
Sad to say, but I don’t think that people are ready for change.
You are all alone. If you have been falsely accused of RAPE, DV, PLEASE let all men know about the people who did this. http://register-her.net/web/guest/home
Topic: Maximum cashout
My mom had been threatening my dad with a divorce for probably a solid 10 years now. I told him the first time she mentioned divorce, he should just say “Sounds good to me” and go file himself as she was either just going to treat him like s~~~ til one of them dies or f~~~ him with a divorce down the road eventually anyhow, so might as well just split what they have now and have some time to recover before he retires…but he didn’t listen.
Fast forward 10 years…my dad’s work had been offering early retirement packages trying to trim their workforce a bit, and he was considering retiring this year anyhow, so about a month ago he accepted the package and will be retiring this summer. Soon as my mom found out she filed for divorce and its final next week as they both agreed on 50% and went the mediator route. I guess the one good thing was with no minor children and neither of them working anymore it was kind of hard to argue for anything but a 50/50 split.
Out of the nearly 40 years my parents were married, my mom worked for maybe 6 or 7 years after my brother and I were both in our 20s. The other 30 something years my dad took care of everything financially. Even if you want to argue a stay at home parent is a full time job…sure, maybe for 6 years until we were both in school…then part time at best for another 14…and then she pretty much just had about 15 years worth of early retirement. Funny thing about when she had her job…all “her” money went into her own account while she still expected access to my dad’s paycheck.
Now this is a woman living in a paid off house, driving a paid off Cadillac, going on out of state vacations with her divorced spinster friends about 3-4 times a year on average, jewelry, nice clothes, play money to p~~~ away at the casino, shopaholic constantly buying dumb s~~~…pretty much live a very pampered life. My dad never hit her or abuse her, and he’s a pretty mild tempered dude…the amount of times I’ve ever even witnessed him raise his voice at her during my entire life was less than I could count on my fingers and after a great amount of her being a c~~~. My dad pretty much told her he wants to buy a place in Florida for the tax advantages and to get away from the s~~~ty cold weather for the winter, and to keep their place up here, and he’s fine just playing room mate with her and she can come and go as she pleases…but nah, she didn’t want that. Now the Florida plan gets scrapped and they end up with 2 places here as most of both sides of my family is here and neither really wants to totally leave the area.
In the end…that is what the blue pill lifestyle gets you. My dad pretty much wasted his life pampering a woman who during her entire life maybe held a full time job for about a decade of it. He literally worked a few extra years after he could have retired with his full pension just to keep health insurance for my mom as she wasn’t old enough to get on medicare yet. She just waited until he was theoretically at max net worth, as hopefully he’ll start to spend his 401k down before he’s too old to enjoy it, then kicked him to the curb.
She doesn’t realize it yet, but the joke will end up being on her. She’s not happy unless she’s making someone miserable or causing drama for someone. She was a giant c~~~ to me while I was a kid and into my early 20s until I moved out and she had no more power over me, at which point I pretty much cut her out of my life. That was around the time the cross hairs ended up on my dad and she started up with her divorce bulls~~~. When she’s on her own, she’s not going to have anyone to s~~~ on. She’s going to be miserable because she isn’t making anyone else miserable. Hopefully my dad totally ghosts her once she moves out. She’s also got a gambling problem…so within a few years I’m pretty confident my dad will be better off financially than he’d have been with her and she’ll be poor. To top it off she has some health issues and my dad would take her to all her appointments and s~~~ whenever she needed a ride. If she calls me looking for a ride, the answer will be “I can’t, I have to work that day,” even if its in the middle of a vacation week for me.
I just can’t fathom why the f~~~ anyone would get married these days. I know my dad did when times were different and there wasn’t several decades worth of divorce rape preceding his marriage…but for guys today…my god just don’t do it! This is how it ends. For the most part my family are pretty solid people as in no criminal records, educated, and solidly middle or upper middle class incomes, so its not just like we’re a bunch of trailer park trash. The apple fell far from the tree a couple times, but I’ve got a pretty big family so its bound to happen, and none of the trashy ones have married yet. Just looking at my parent’s generation…them, and my aunts and uncles, 25% of them are still married to their first spouse. Of the 75% that have a divorce under their belt, a couple have more than 1. That is f~~~ing miserable odds! Of my generation…siblings and cousins…of those who have married we’re already at a 60% divorce rate…which is f~~~ing pathetic considering my oldest cousins are only early 40s and the most recent marriage hasn’t even hit the 1 year mark yet. I’m already expecting it to increase in about 5 years when my eldest cousin’s kids are college age as I’ve already heard rumblings from various family members of her wanting a divorce. With my cousins divorces…literally every single time the women had had affairs and every single time the women had filed for divorce.
Please men, just remember, women are not worth placing on a pedestal anymore, and they are certainly not worth marrying. Its not being selfish if you just want to live your life for you and enjoy the time you have on this earth rather than stick your dick in the blender of modern day marriage, its being smart. Go make friends, get a dog, travel, enjoy hobbies, read, learn things, drive fast cars and motorcycles, f~~~ prostitutes(in places where its legal of course)…just don’t be stupid wasting your time, energy, and resources being a disposable resource for some c~~~.
