DOES HUMAN EVOLUTION CONTINUE?

 

We are all black and Africans. 

People seek their genealogy back to notable progenitors, to gain bragging rights or membership in an organization or clan. 

However, tracing our genealogy back to its origins, we find our roots in the continent of Africa.   

Evolutionary difference required isolation, and that is most visible in Australia.   

People, as well as other animal species, were totally dependent on their environment, and variations occurred as a result of their ability to adapt to varying conditions in different parts of the world.

In the past, evolutionary changes occurred over long time periods, almost imperceptible, because environmental changes took eons.

With the ease of world travel, we are moving toward homogenizing culture, but we could also be moving toward a homogeneous race, sometimes in the distant future.

Today, cultural accommodation appears to have a greater impact on biological adaptation than the environment.

Social evolution has become more visible than physical evolution.   People are becoming increasingly distant from each other due to the prevalence of technology.  

Now people are performative. Their interactions consist of comments on their social media page.

  

What will human adaptation look like in the next century?

With humans no longer tied to an agrarian, hunter-gatherer dependency, you might think the physical evolution of humans was a fait accompli – finished. But we are moving into a brave new world of AI and Crispen.  

 What humanoid existence lies in our future?

THE DEMOCRATS ARE SNATCHING DEFEAT FROM VICTORY.

 

 

 The Dumbocrats  - Jesus Christ, I’m now sounding like Donald Trump -  are doing it again.

   

After finding the wind in their sails and being almost guaranteed to take over the House, they are setting themselves up to lose a large population of the undecided voters by not publicly separating themselves from the Democratic Socialists of America Party.

  

The newly formed Democratic Socialist of America Party is nuts, and the Democratic Party should deny any affiliation.

The DSA Platform:

·       To abolish the Senate, the Electoral College.

·       To abolish all borders.

·       Replace the President and Supreme Court with leaders chosen by Congress.

·       Rewrite the U.S. Constitution.

·       Abolish Capitalism: placing all major industries, including health care and energy, under government control.

·       Eliminate all private debt, including mortgages and health care, placing it under government control.

·       Abolish the Pentagon and the prison system.

It is all right to claim you are the Big Tent party, but there are some groups you should step away from – publicly.

Some of the people calling themselves Democratic Socialists, in the tradition of Bernie Sanders, are not members of the DSA party.  If they are to run under the Democratic banner, they should clearly distinguish themselves from the DSA's platform. 

 

 

Or else we will look back at the 2026 election and shake our heads and say: fucking democrats, they did it again.

REPUBLICAN PARTY'S ELECTORAL DREAM

WHEN IS OLD TOO OLD?

 

 

The older I grow, the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom

H.L. Mencken

 

Native Americans still venerate their elders, and that is amiable; at the same time, white people worry: What are we going to do with grandma?

 

When society and technology moved at a snail’s pace, the wisdom of oldsters and their reminiscence of things past had relevance. However, as technology constantly evolves almost daily, it is increasingly challenging for older people to keep pace.

 

It is a fact that we all lose a step as we age.  Things are harder to recall, our physical abilities decline, our health becomes a concern, and we find we live more in the past than the present. 

 

At a time when humans are capable of world annihilation, it might be an advantage to have a stable, older person with life experience at the helm, making decisions – but that would depend on the individual. 

However, there comes a time when most older people are not equipped for that level of responsibility.

 

Strom Thermond, the Senator from South Carolina, died in office at age 100.   That is ridiculous. 

 

It is not ageism when I suggest that an age limit for public service, in all capacities, should be set at seventy-five years of age.  No politician's or judge's term should extend beyond their eightieth birthday. 

 

Of course, this leaves me beyond my sell-by date – and rightly so.

WHITE SUPREMACISTS MARCH IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

 

We are shocked by this sight today, but this is not new.   There was a time in the past, in the history of white people  of this country, in the history of our own families, when this was accepted.  

 

In 1924, thirty thousand KKK members marched in Washington, D.C.   They were not just from the south, But from Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and as far away as Virginia, North Carolina and Florida.  The Klan claimed that sixty-four percent of Congress were Klan members. 

 

 

My maternal grandmother was born in 1893 in Mississippi.   She was the youngest of seven children, four brothers and two sisters.  One of her brothers was a Klan member, another was the warden of the infamous Parchment Penitentiary, and her older sister was married to Fielding Write, a governor of Mississippi, who ran as the Vice President nominee for the Dixiecrat Party alongside Strom Thurmond.

 

And yet, one of my maternal great-great-grandfathers died at the Battle of Shiloh, fighting for the North.

 

We can not explain our families.   They were people of their time and place, and they adhere to different norms.   We should not be plastered with their sins, but willing to call them out.

 

It is a safe bet that the majority of families with generations in Mississippi have ancestors who were Klan members. 

 

It has been one hundred and two years since thirty thousand Klan members marched in the nation’s capital. 

That there were only a few hundred white supremacist marching in our nation’s capital today speaks both to progress and shame; and a knowledge that there is still a segment of our population that is so ignorant they can be easily manipulated, is an indication of our failing education system. 

To be truthful, we have a President in the White House that is a confirmed racist, and a Republican Party that is guilty of racism by omission - unwillingness to call him out. 

 

Not all Republicans are racist, but if you are a racist, a white supremacies, a Klan member, there is a place for you in Trump’s Republican Party.  "There were good people on both sides."

DONALD TRUMP'S NIPPLE FIXSATION

 

I can't help this.  A story about Donald Trump and nipples.   It must be the high school boy still buried deep inside me that had to follow this up.

From the DAILYBEAST,   June 10,2026

"Official searches of the early version of the site found that among the first Trump-related hits was an allegation from Epstein accuser Sarah Ransome, drawn from a settled civil case. 

In emails to a reporter, Ransome alleged that a girl Epstein had trafficked, known as Jen, told her she slept with Trump and described him as fixated on nipples and physically rough with hers.

The nipples, Ransome added, looked "incredibly painful as they were red and swollen" when she glimpsed them in a shared bathroom."
