The Curse Of Whinehood

 

What is happening to our men?

Are men becoming great victims of toxic masculinity?

Abuse of power, weak dominance, and forced aggression serve only as pathetic models for a dishonorable existence and a state of perpetual whinehood.

Abuse of power is not true power; it is rooted in ignorance, not knowledge.

Weak dominance does not equate to excellence; it reflects grandiose delusions masked as power.

Forced aggression is not genuine bravery; it is cowardice that lacks consent and is dishonorable in every sense.

Blaming women, Puerto Ricans, immigrants, and others for their problems, while whining about practically everything, does not define a man.

Turning manhood into a toxic, pathetic state of whinehood achieves nothing.

Whinehood, regardless of how it's dressed up—whether in a garbage man costume, as the devil, a pumpkin, or a clown—will not enhance any man's sense of manhood.

Cosplay is not real; it is make-believe.

And whinehood is merely a pathetic form of make-believe.

Where are the honorable knights in shining armor?

Where are the real men who are honorable, brave, decent, and true—those who will genuinely protect a woman’s honor and defend her from harm?

Have they all succumbed to toxic masculinity and the curse of whinehood?

Ellipse Speech

 

Vice President Kamala Harris: 

Good evening, everyone. 

Good evening, and thank you for taking the time out of your busy lives.

Thank you.  Thank you. 

Thank you, everyone. 

So listen, one week from today, you will have the chance to make a decision that directly impacts your life, the life of your family, and the future of this country we love.

And it will probably be the most important vote you ever cast. 

And this election is more than just a choice between two parties and two different candidates. 

It is a choice about whether we have a country rooted in freedom for every American or ruled by chaos and division.

Many of you watching have probably already cast your ballots. But I know many others are still considering who to vote for, or whether you’ll vote at all. 

So tonight, I will speak to everyone about the choice and the stakes in this election. 

Look, we know who Donald Trump is. He is the person who stood at this very spot nearly four years ago and sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol to overturn the will of the people in a free and fair election – an election that he knew he lost. 

Americans died as a result of that attack. 

140 law enforcement officers were injured because of that attack. 

And while Donald Trump sat in the White House watching as the violence unfolded on television, he was told by his staff that the mob wanted to kill his own vice President, and Donald Trump responded with two words. 

“So what?” 

America, that’s who Donald Trump is. And that’s who is asking you to give him another four years in the Oval Office – not to focus on your problems, but to focus on his.

And Donald Trump has told us his priorities for a second term. He has an enemies list of people he intends to prosecute. 

He says that one of his highest priorities is to set free the violent extremists who insulted those law enforcement officers on January 6. 

Donald Trump intends to use the United States military against American citizens who simply disagree with him, people he calls, quote, “the enemy from within.” 

America, this is not a candidate for president who is thinking about how to make your life better. 

This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance and out for unchecked power. 

Donald Trump has spent a decade trying to keep the American people divided and afraid of each other. That is who he is. 

But, America, I am here tonight to say that is not who we are. That is not who we are! 

That is not who we are! 

You say what Donald Trump has never understood is that E Pluribus Unum, “out of many, one” isn’t just a phrase on a $1 bill. 

It is a living truth about the heart of our nation. 

Our democracy, it doesn’t require us to agree on everything. In fact, we like good arguments from time to time.

Just think of your own family, right? 

It’s not the American way to not have disagreements. We don’t shy away from robust debate, robust debate. 

In fact, we like a good debate, don’t we? We like a good debate. 

And the fact that someone disagrees with us does not make them the enemy within. 

They are family, neighbors, classmates, coworkers. They are fellow Americans. 

And as Americans, we rise and fall together. 

America for too long, we have been consumed with too much division, chaos and mutual distrust, and it can be easy then to forget a simple truth. It doesn’t have to be this way. 

It doesn’t have to be this way. 

It is time to stop pointing fingers. We have to stop pointing fingers and start locking arms. 

It is time to turn the page on the drama and the conflict, the fear and division. 

It is time for a new generation of leadership in America, and I am ready to offer that leadership as the next President of the United States of America. 

Now, look, let me say, let me say, I recognize this has not been a typical campaign. 

Even though I’ve had the honor of serving as your vice president for the last four years, I know, but I know that many of you are still getting to know who I am. 

Well, let me tell you, I am someone who has spent most of my career outside of Washington, DC, so I know that not all the good ideas come from here. 

I am not afraid of tough fights against bad actors and powerful interests. 

Because for decades as a prosecutor and a top law enforcement officer of our biggest state, I won fights against big banks that ripped off homeowners, against for profit, colleges that scammed veterans and students, against predators who abused women and children and cartels that trafficked in guns, drugs and human beings. 

And I did this work because for as long as I can remember, I have always had an instinct to protect. 

There’s something about people being treated unfairly or overlooked that, frankly, just gets to me. I don’t like it. 

It’s what my mother instilled in me, a drive to hold accountable those who use their wealth or power to take advantage of other people, the drive to protect hard working Americans who aren’t always seen or heard and deserve a voice. 

And I will tell you, that is the kind of President I will be.

And look, I’ll be honest with you, I’m not perfect. I make mistakes. But here’s what I promise you: I will always listen to you, even if you don’t vote for me. 

I will always tell you the truth, even if it is difficult to hear. 

I will work every day to build consensus and reach compromise to get things done. 

And if you give me the chance to fight on your behalf, there is nothing in the world that will stand in my way. 

So look, in less than 90 days, either Donald Trump, or I will be in the Oval Office.

And on day one if elected, on day one, if elected, Donald Trump would walk into that office with an enemies list. 

When elected, I will walk in with a to-do list;

Full of priorities of what I will get done for the American people. 

And I will work with everyone, Democrats, Republicans and Independents to help Americans who are working hard and still struggling to get ahead. 

I have been honored to serve as Joe Biden’s vice president, but I will bring my own experiences and ideas to the Oval Office.

My presidency will be different, because the challenges we face are different. 

Our top priority as a nation four years ago was to end the pandemic and rescue the economy. 

Now our biggest challenge is to lower costs, costs that were rising even before the pandemic, and that are still too high. I get it. 

I still remember our mother sitting at that yellow formica table late at night, cup of tea in hand, a pile of bills in front of her, trying to make it all work. 

And I’ve heard from so many of you who are facing even greater financial pressures. 

Donald Trump’s answer to you is the same as it was the last time, another trillion dollars in tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations. 

And this time he will pay for it with a 20 percent national sales tax on everything you buy that is imported.

Think about it: clothes, food, toys, cell phones – a Trump sales tax that would cost the average family nearly $4,000 more a year. 

And on top of that, you will pay even more if Donald Trump finally gets his way and repeals the Affordable Care Act – which would throw millions of Americans off their health insurance. 

And take us back to when insurance companies had the power to deny people with pre existing conditions. 

Well, we are not going back. We are not going back. 

Because we also know Donald Trump would deliver tax cuts to his billionaire donors. 

I will deliver tax cuts to working people and the middle class. 

I will make sure you have a chance not just to get by, but to get ahead because I believe in honoring the dignity of work. 

I will enact the first ever federal ban on price gouging on groceries, cap the price of insulin and Limit Out of Pocket prescription costs for all Americans. 

I will fight to make sure that hard working Americans can actually afford a place to live. 

I’ll never forget how our mother saved up and how excited she was when she could finally afford to buy our first home. 

I remember how excited she was. And I know that owning a home is not only a measure of financial security, it’s about the pride of your hard work. 

And as President, I will fight to help first time home buyers with your down payment take on the companies that are jacking up rents and build millions of new homes. 

For years, we have heard excuses about why America can’t build enough housing, enough with the excuses I’m going to cut the red tape and work with the private sector and local governments to speed up building and get it done. 

And the cost of housing isn’t the only financial pressure on middle class families. 

I’ve met so many young people who have a natural desire to parent their children well, but not always the resources to do it.

So, I’ll fight for a child tax credit to save them some money, which will also lift American children out of poverty. 

I will work to lower the cost of child care, which is out of reach for too many working families today, and for too many people in the sandwich generation who are raising young children and taking care of a parent, juggling all of it is extremely difficult. 

You know, I took care of my mother when she got sick, cooking foods, food that she had a taste for, finding clothes that would not irritate her skin. And understand, as I do, that caregiving is about dignity. 

It is about dignity. 

And currently, if you need home care and you don’t have some money to hire someone, you and your family need to deplete your savings to qualify for help, that’s just not right. 

So, we’re going to change the approach and allow Medicare to cover the cost of home care so seniors can get the help and care they need in their own homes. 

Now, Donald Trump has a different approach. He tried to cut Medicare and Social Security every year he was president. 

Look, I believe that when people have worked hard their entire life, they deserve to retire with the benefits they have earned. 

And I believe in the fundamental freedom of Americans to make decisions about their own bodies and not have their government tell them what to do. 

I will fight to restore what Donald Trump and his hand selected Supreme Court justices took away from the women of America – that today one in three women in America. 

Think about it, one in three women in America lives in a state with a Trump abortion ban – many with no exceptions, even for rape and incest. 

The idea that a woman who survives a crime of a violation to her body should not have the authority to make a decision about what happens to her body next, that is immoral, that is immoral. 

And Trump’s not done. He would ban abortion nationwide, restrict access to birth control and put IVF treatments at risk and force states to monitor women’s pregnancies. 

Just Google Project 2025 and read the plans for yourself. 

And look, I think we all know one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to simply agree the government should not be telling her what to do with her body, not the government. 

And when Congress passes a bill to restore Reproductive Freedom nationwide, as President of the United States, I will proudly sign it into law, proudly. 

And look, on another subject, politicians have got to stop treating immigration as an issue to scare up votes in an election, and instead treat it as the serious challenge that it is that we must finally come together to solve. 

I will work with Democrats and Republicans to sign into law the border security bill that Donald Trump killed. 

When I was attorney general of a border state, I saw the chaos and violence caused by transnational criminal organizations that I took on and when I am President, we will quickly remove those who arrive here unlawfully, prosecute the cartels and give border patrol the support they so desperately need.

At the same time, we must acknowledge we are a nation of immigrants, and I will work with Congress to pass immigration reform, including an earned path to citizenship for hard working immigrants like farm workers and our dreamers. 

As Commander in Chief, I will make sure America has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world. 

Donald Trump, on the other hand, has shown his contempt for our nation’s heroes – calls them suckers and losers, called a Four Star Marine General, a quote “low life”. 

I will always honor, never denigrate the service and sacrifice of our troops and their families and fulfill our sacred obligation to care for them. 

I will strengthen, not surrender, America’s global leadership, and I will stand with our friends because I know that our alliances keep American people safe and make America stronger and more secure. 

Look, world leaders think that Donald Trump is an easy mark, easy to manipulate with flattery or favor. 

And you can believe that autocrats like Putin and Kim Jong are rooting for him in this election. 

I will always uphold our security, advance our national interest and ensure that the United States of America remains as we must forever be a champion of Liberty around the world. 

America, we know what Donald Trump has in mind, more chaos, more division and policies that help those at the very top and hurt everyone else. 

I offer a different path, and I ask for your vote.

And here is my pledge to you: I pledge to seek common ground and common sense solutions to make your life better. 

I am not looking to score political points. I am looking to make progress. 

I pledge to listen to experts, to those who will be impacted by the decisions I make, and to people who disagree with me. 

Unlike Donald Trump, I don’t believe people who disagree with me are the enemy; He wants to put them in jail, I’ll give them a seat at the table. 

I pledge to you to approach my work with the joy and optimism that comes from making a difference in people’s lives. 

And I pledge to be a president for all Americans, and to always put country above party and self.

I love our country with all my heart, and I believe in its promise because I’ve lived it. 

I grew up as a child of the civil rights movement, my parents would take me to marches in a stroller where crowds of people of all races, faiths and walks of life came together to fight for the ideals of freedom and opportunity. 

I’ve lived the promise of America, I saw how hard our mother worked to give her daughters the same chances this country gave her. 

Growing up, I was blessed to have family by blood and family by love, who instilled in me the values of community, compassion and faith that have always defined our nation at its best. 

I’ve lived the promise of America. 

I’ve spent my life fighting for the people who have been hurt and counted out but never stopped believing that in our country, anything is possible. 

I’ve lived the promise of America, and I see the promise of America in all of you, in all of you, I see it. 

I see it in the young people who are voting for the first time, who are determined to live free from gun violence and to protect our planet and to shape the world they inherit. 

I see it in the women who refuse to accept a future without reproductive freedom, and the men who support them. 

I see it in Republicans who have never voted for a Democrat before, but have put the Constitution of the United States over party. 

I’ve seen it in Americans, different in many respects, but united in our pursuit of freedom, our belief in fairness and decency and our faith in a better future. 

America, I know the vast majority of us have so much more in common than what separates us. 

I know it, and that’s why I am in this race to fight for the people, just like I always have. 

Nearly 250 years ago, America was born when we wrested freedom from a petty tyrant. 

Across the generations, Americans have preserved that freedom, expanded it, and in so doing proved to the world that a government of, by, and for the people is strong and can endure. 

And those who came before us, the Patriots at Normandy and Selma, Seneca Falls, and Stonewall, on farmlands, and factory floors, they did not struggle, sacrifice and lay down their lives only to see us cede our fundamental freedoms. 

They didn’t do that only to see us submit to the will of another petty tyrant. 

These United States of America, we are not a vessel for the schemes of wannabe dictators. 

The United States of America is the greatest idea humanity ever devised, a nation big enough to encompass all our dreams, 

strong enough to withstand any fracture or fissure between us, 

and fearless enough to imagine a future of possibilities. 

So America, let us reach for that future. Let us fight for this beautiful country we love. 

And in 7 days, we have the power, each of you has the power to turn the page and start writing the next chapter in the most extraordinary s

tory ever told. 

I thank you all. 

God bless you and may God bless the United States of America. 

Thank you!

*Vice President Kamala Harris's Ellipse Speech at the Ellipse outside the White House to a crowd of estimated 75,000+ inside the Ellipse and additional crowds outside not able to fit inside in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, October 29, 2024

 

We have a responsibility to protect and defend our children from gun violence, hate, and intolerance.

We have a responsibility to nurture our children to be their better selves, develop their talents, and grow purposefully into the person the Lord meant for each child.

We have a responsibility to teach each child the meaning of love in empathy, tolerance in compassion, good deeds in fellowship, faith in kindness, and confidence in the fullest measure of self fully connected with a purity of heart to the love and peace of the Holy Spirit. 

We have a responsibility to leave this planet better than when we entered it.

Therefore, we must fight climate change and elect leaders who are willing to fight with us, not against us.

For what good is wealth if we do not have health, wellness, and well-being to enjoy life purposefully?

We must teach children to find ways to solve problems without resorting to violence, lies, or game cheats.  

For we cannot always be there each step of the way and will not live forever, they learn to care for one another, must take up the mantle of leadership, and lead as problem solvers, not problem makers.

If we are to lead by example, we need to elect leaders who are good role models, not prone to violence, hate, spite, ignorance, crude vulgarities, and inhumane cruelties.

It would also be nice if the role models were not convicted felons, racists, insurrectionists, seditionists, or fascist dictator wannabes.

We must do everything we can to help our children live a wonderful life; full of amazing wonder and enlightened mysteries yet to be discovered.  

And keep at bay as long as possible the trials, tribulations, and ugliness that sometimes come with the struggles of life.

Give our children a chance to come into their own well-prepared and well-adjusted to face anything that may come their way.  

That cannot happen if we live in a world that strips women and girls of their basic human right of self-determination, basic care, and control of their bodies.  

That cannot happen if we live in a world without respect, honor, dignity, and decency for all people.

Therefore, let's elect public servants who are respectful and honorable and will treat all people with dignity and decency.

And serve the people with empathy and compassion knowing that life is a struggle at times and we all have challenges we must live through.  

Let us unite under that banner of freedom, dedicated to the proposition that all people are created equal, and work in service of one another to make this world a better place for our children and future generations so that our children’s inheritance of freedom, well-being, and a habitable planet will long endure.

 

The ghosts of the past will haunt fascist Nazis and that of their children.  

Because when fascist Nazis pick up the mantle of hate and terrorism, then the inheritance of all the horrific and heinous crimes against humanity that cost millions of people their lives through genocide and war will also be upon and in them.

The continuation of this horrific history of hate and terror is unholy and damned beyond words.  

How good people of conscience can remain silent and complicit is unconscionable.

We must stand up against the sheer uncaring nature and total disregard for human life, a life conceived from the Lord.  

Our life and our freedom are our unalienable rights granted by the Lord and must not be taken without a fight.

Hate, fascist hate, must be relegated to the past and must be history, not dredged up for our children and their children to inherit.
