What Are The Odds?

2.4% of the US population is Jewish:

• Kamala's husband is reform Jewish
• Ashley Biden's husband is reform Jewish
• Hunter Biden's current (second) wife, Melissa Cohen-Biden, is Jewish
• Beau Biden's wife Hallie is Jewish (Hunter screwed her)
• Ivanka Trump's husband is orthodox Jewish
• Ivanka converted to Orthodox Judaism
• Chelsea Clinton's husband is Jewish

Trump's inner circle has many prominent Jewish advisors

Obama's inner circle had so many prominent Jewish advisors that he held a private Seder at the White House for eight years running.

The United States is 25% Catholic.

Of the above, only Ashley and Hunter are nominally Catholic.

Olympics and Genetic Disorders

Disorders of Sexual Development (DSD) appear to affect roughly 1 in 5000 births, or 0.018% of births. 

Two dozen U.S. boys under 17 swim faster than Katie Ledecky in her best event.

DSD certainly does affect athletic performance. Olympic testing has shown Olympic athletes are much more likely to have a DSD than is the general population:  

All women were screened in Olympic competition from 1992 onwards, with over 2000 tests performed at the 1992 Barcelona games. Fifteen tests were reported positive, with a further eight out of over 3000 positive tests at the Atlanta games in 1996.

1 in 5000 births only works out to 0.018% of births, but if the 1992 Olympics tested positive 15 of 2000, that is 0.75%, which means, in 1992, DSDs were 41 times more common among female Olympic athletes than expected. Similarly, 8 of 3000 positive tests in the 1996 Olympic means 0.266% positive, or a DSD rate nearly 15 times more common than expected. That's way, way above normal distribution. 

The incidence can create enormous disparities in women's sports. For instance:

Here are a few recent examples just from Olympic podiums in track and field: In Tokyo in 2021, an XY DSD sprinter took silver in the women’s 200 meters. In Rio de Janeiro in 2016, three XY DSD athletes swept the women’s 800-meter podium. In London in 2012, the same athlete who won gold in Rio rose from silver to gold after the winner was caught doping.

Some might claim that androgen insensitivity and similar DSDs confer no special advantage, but the numbers tell us this is not true. 

Clearly, if DSD conferred no advantage, there would not be an enormously disproportionate number of DSD athletes competing in the women's Olympics. The fact that the numbers clearly demonstrate this disproportion also demonstrates that someone isn't telling the truth about DSDs and their effect on women's sports competitions. 

Apparently, the Olympics is now much more about the athletics of genetic disorders than it is about female athletics. It's sad that the Olympics allowed this to happen.

Why all the Illegal Immigrants?

Why are so many first-world countries accepting inordinate numbers of immigrants? It is obvious that the immigrants, legal and illegal, are changing the very fabric of first-world society. Why allow this?

There are many people who would default to the easy answer: political groups allow it because they hope for more votes from the immigrants than they can get from their native citizens. While this isn't wrong, it also doesn't really deal with the heart of the problem: total fertility rate (TFR).

Take Europe, for instance (although America is really no different). Europe's "Christians" are not having children, so they aren't really Christians. Whatever basis in Christian society Europe has had, has been fading since at least the Protestant Reformation, if not earlier. Western society has slowly been moving away from Christianity for centuries, which is how today's political monsters got into power to begin with. But politics isn't the practical problem. TFR is.

Every nation's leaders know this: if immigrants are not brought in, the nation disappears within a century as native citizens die off without having offspring... and the immigrants will move in ANYWAY because the country grows emptier each year. It's not like anyone can stop this. Look at the numbers:

• Median age of Europe is 42.5
• Median age of North Africa is 24.7
• Median age of Africa overall is 19.2

European leaders are hoping that if they bring in immigrants, legal and illegal, while Europe is still somewhat youthful(!), maybe they can assimilate the migrants and enculturate them with European values before the current European population ages out and the REAL deluge of youthful migrants starts.

They're wrong, of course, but you can't blame them for trying. You think waiting until the median European age is 50 or 70 is going to work better?

Hint: it won't.

What else can they do? They can't start an African war. Wars just increases infant mortality. High infant mortality increases TFR. Nobody wants Africa's TFR to go up. Europeans want it to go down. That means they have to reverse centuries of policy in regards to Africa. They have to figure out how to make Africa wealthy, ASAP. 

For centuries, Europe and the US has been deliberately keeping Africa poor and starved so it can mine African mineral resources. Well, that worked just great. Europe got rich on African mineral wealth. But, it turns out that the resulting European wealth depressed European TFR while the resulting African poverty and high infant mortality rates kept Africa's TFR high. 

Nobody thought about that.

So, they sowed to the wind, now they are reaping the whirlwind. Europe got wealthy at Africa's expense, now Africa comes to Europe to get their share of the pie. 

North America is similarly getting its come-uppance, and for similar reasons. America stole literally half of Mexico, we illegally occupied the Philippines for most of the 20th century, and we have been having fewer and fewer children each generation since 1800. As our wealth steadily increased, our TFR steadily dropped. For the last forty years, America's TFR has been below even that of 1930s Depression-era America. We're one of the wealthiest nations on earth, and without immigration, we would essentially disappear within roughly the next century. Already, America's median age is 39, in some states it is nearing 45. That's post-menopausal.

Mars Needs Women, and every country in the world needs immigrants. We're stealing other countries' populations in order to prop up our own. Europe is doing the same. That's why this is happening. 

Failed Bible Prophecies

In a previous post, we saw how Jeremiah 33:17-18 was a complete failure. God told Jeremiah that the re would come a time when the throne of David was never empty, a time when the Levitical priests would forever offer sacrificed, burnt animals on the altar. Indeed, the Catholic Douay-Rheims translates it "kill victims continually." The problem, of course, is that Catholic priests are of the line of Melchizedek, not Levi, and the Mass is not killing anyone "continually," rather, it is union with the one sacrifice of Christ. So, even if we ignore the 500 year interregnum before Christ sits on the throne of David, for the last 2000 years, the Messianic age has lacked both Levitical priests and continual animal sacrifices.

Jeremiah isn't the only failed prophet. Isaiah whiffed on several items:

Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold Damascus shall cease to be a city, and shall be as a ruinous heap of stones. 

Damascus is, instead, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. 

Isaiah 19:4-5 And I will deliver Egypt into the hand of cruel masters, and a strong king shall rule over them, saith the Lord the God of hosts.  5 And the water of the sea shall be dried up, and the river shall be wasted and dry.

The Nile river has never run dry.

Isaiah 52:1 Arise, arise, put on thy strength, O Sion, put on the garments of thy glory, O Jerusalem, the city of the Holy One: for henceforth the uncircumcised, and unclean shall no more pass through thee.

Obviously, Jerusalem has had uncircumcised men within its walls constantly. Now, this can be explained away by spiritualizing the entire section. One can argue that Sion is a reference to heaven, and the uncircumcised are those whose hearts are not circumcised, i.e., joined to God. So, it would read as only the holy will enter heaven. 

Ezekiel suffers similar problems: 

Ezekiel 30:10-12 Thus saith the Lord God: I will make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon. 11 He and his people with him, the strongest of nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords upon Egypt: and shall fill the land with the slain.  12 And I will make the channels of the rivers dry, and will deliver the land into the hand of the wicked: and will lay waste the land and all that is therein by the hands of strangers, I the Lord have spoken it.

In 568 BC, Nebuchadnezzar tried to conquer Egypt, but failed. Aahmes ruled for another generation over a prosperous Egypt and lived to see Nebuchadnezzar die. The Egyptians were not scattered or dispersed.

Ezekiel 29:10-11 Therefore, behold I come against thee, and thy rivers: and I will make the land of Egypt utterly desolate, and wasted by the sword, from the tower of Syene, even to the borders of Ethiopia. 11 The foot of man shall not pass through it, neither shall the foot of beasts go through it: nor shall it be inhabited during forty years.  12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the lands that are desolate, and the cities thereof in the midst of the cities that are destroyed, and they shall be desolate for forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

Egypt has never had a 40-year period in which it was uninhabited.
