Thanks to Progressives, the West Is Collapsing Again

For most people, the story of the medieval world was one of cramped cities, constant violent crime, and episodic outbreaks of deadly plagues—the dividends of unclean urban conditions, rotting food, fouled water, open sewage, and unchecked rats, fleas, and lice. Most of each day was spent simply trying to survive until the next.

Castles and walls dotted the landscape to protect kingdoms from marauding tribes and foreign invaders. City gates were usually closed at dusk to keep out nocturnal marauders. Public executions drew massive crowds. And religious schisms and conflicts often turned deadly.

In other words, it was not altogether unfamiliar to the world we are becoming today.

Yet meanwhile, science advanced quietly among true elites at universities, courts, and monasteries, producing windmills, mechanical clocks, and eyeglasses. Sophisticated crossbows were manufactured in great numbers. Large, multi-sail warships were built that could cross narrow seas.

Some of history’s greatest literature—Dante’s “Divine Comedy,” Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales,” and St. Thomas Aquinas’ “Summa Theologiae”—was the product of the medieval mind.

We still gaze dumbfounded at the architectural genius and beauty of the colossal cathedrals of Cologne, Florence, Milan, Paris, Rome, and Seville. The Byzantine cathedral Hagia Sophia may have risen near the beginning of the medieval period and for a millennium, nothing rivaled its majesty. All these medieval architectural masterpieces were built without computers, porta-potties, overtime, or building permits.

Yet after the collapse of the classical world (circa AD 500), Western civilization still needed a millennium to recover even a modicum of its lost knowledge and technology. Centuries passed before the Renaissance saw hygienic principles of sewage systems, aqueducts, and waste disposal—not to mention the medical expertise of classically trained doctors and scientists.

Modern Medievalism

Yet our progressive-regressive modern West is now suddenly beginning to resemble the medieval age—with one important caveat: After centuries of so-called “progress,” we should know better.

Our mounting urban filth, dangerous streets, and resurgent diseases are juxtaposed with brilliant revolutions in artificial intelligence, bioengineering, robotics, satellite technology, spaceflight, and cancer research.

Unlike their counterparts in the medieval fiefdom, our officials know how to stop disease, crime, and filth but apparently choose not to. Their neglect grows out of a sick ideology that divides the world into the blameworthy “oppressors” and the blameless “oppressed.” The victim is always right and must be championed—at least from a distance or as long as he does not show up smelly on your doorstep.

We have just experienced a tribal invasion of millions of impoverished foreigners swarming across our southern border—until the belated resumption of border-wall construction, medieval-style, and the deployment of detested patrols who try bravely to stop them.

Western urban street crime seems to require the army to restore calm yet often grows unchecked when troops are barred from helping police.

It is technically illegal for people to camp out on public sidewalks or someone else’s property—unless they do so in such numbers that paralyzed city officials look the other way.

Defecation, urination, fornication, and drug injection are now routine spectacles for hurried sidewalk passersby. If Los Angeles or Berkeley allows its streets and sidewalks to become medieval, should we be surprised by outbreaks there of deadly medieval diseases like typhus and leptospirosis—or that our storm drains now double as sewage gutters?

Today’s mayors will not stop rats from breeding, while officials—most recently in Los Angeles, for example—consider proposals for taxpayer-funded “hygienic sexual-relief clinics” offering homeless people “private sexual relief through masturbation.”

In New York, some of the richest people in the world sidestep rancid piles of rat-infested trash. In San Francisco and Chicago, some of the world’s greatest cancer researchers check their shoe soles for human feces before entering their space-age labs.

Weirder still, the Western world has become both the most regulated and the most lawless civilization on the planet. Our state environmental detectives visit industries to ensure that their effluvia do not contain one part per billion of a particular toxic substance. And state and federal regulators, with dozens of letters after their names, examine daily microscopic traces of dangerous toxins in the bubbling pools of sewage at treatment plants.

Yet under cover of darkness, masked city workers decked out in hazmat suits, rubber boots, and gloves use high-pressure hoses to blast politically correct feces, urine, blood, and drug detritus into storm drains. These modern marvels carry the mess out to pollute supposedly pristine ocean waters—where a fisherman can be fined a small fortune for tossing an inert, empty soda can into the smelly water. In the modern West, one-billionth of Roundup is a threat to civilization; tons of feces on city sidewalks are not. The theory? The more the law-abiding are monitored to the nth degree, the more society can withstand exempting the lawless to do as they wish.

How strange is our postmodern medieval intersection between barbarity and civilization?

The Oppressive Oppressed

In California, a century of traffic science and public-safety research had established strict licensing rules for truck drivers navigating fully loaded 80,000-pound, double-trailer behemoths amid tiny subcompacts on our busy freeways.

Our legal system has insisted that drivers of such interstate semis must be highly skilled and certified before stepping into the potentially dangerous T. Rex of a big rig. They must be 21, possess a valid California driver’s license, pass a Department of Transportation physical, and undergo background and drug screening—all before scoring 80 percent on a required 50-question technical exam, followed by a thorough two-hour, in-person test of their driving skills. Sounds great—in theory.

But not in fact. For fear that someone, somewhere, somehow, at some time might be inconvenienced by these rules to protect the public, nearly 20,000 illegal aliens obtained commercial driver’s licenses from a compliant state of California without even proving rudimentary knowledge of English. They were free to exploit loopholes, leverage exemptions, and avoid background checks.

The result?

Our new leftist apparat empowered thousands of incompetent drivers. Many cannot distinguish a yield sign from a stop sign, and most cannot read a word of English. They drive as they please—racing, swerving, and veering, with a 40-ton trailer wagging behind them.

They now own our Wild West freeways so that our elite can feel morally superior to the mere lab-rat drivers on whom they experiment. The architects of these laws are often chauffeured in large limousines, SUVs, and motorcades or prefer to fly in private jets.

Western civilization mostly phased out public executions nearly a century ago. But before it congratulates itself on its distance from the medieval world, consider that the therapeutic Left now canonizes, rather than hangs, murderers. (Which is more medieval: to hang a murderer or to romanticize a known assassin?)

Luigi Mangione assassinated Brian Robert Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, in a December 2024 ambush and pleaded guilty to federal charges stemming from the killing last month. He has been deified by scores of young leftist women who swoon over the trust-fund scion’s good looks and politically correct violence. Indeed, admirers even produced a musical about his supposedly heroic murder of the health care executive.

Charlie Kirk was grotesquely murdered during a livestreamed public event, after which, for months on end, some on the Left celebrated his shooting and mocked those who mourned him. When Lindsay Clancy brutally strangled her three small children with an exercise band, women on the Left did not merely cite her supposedly extenuating postpartum depression but deified her as a victimized “everywoman”—with scarcely a voice for the three young lives snuffed out before they had a chance to grow up by the person who, until recently, everyone understood was supposed to care for them most: their mother.

The new secular revolutionaries know that their city upon a hill won’t work—and will crash and burn—if conservatives likewise deify the murderer of a populist Marxist podcaster. What would they do if conservatives, in tit-for-tat fashion, were to join in to gush over the handsome killer of a popular socialist activist? What if a returning combat veteran slew all his children and then developed a cult of admirers demanding his PTSD guaranteed him an exemption from the law? What if the Secret Service, on four separate occasions, had to shoot at would-be right-wing assassins of President Barack Obama?

Modern, sophisticated, humane science now has the technology to save most premature babies at 23-24 weeks. But in pre-civilizational fashion, Massachusetts—to the cheers of “enlightened” feminists—has enacted laws to allow abortion (involving the collapse of the infant’s skull and the siphoning out of its contents) right up to the moment of birth. The media hailed this license to kill a viable infant as “strengthening abortion care.”

In this brutal juxtaposition of life and death, modern and ancient, we invest millions to save one premature infant of six months, only to allot a few dollars to kill a baby as it looks out the birth canal and almost reaches a new life.

Chic Barbarity

These contradictions and alternate universes of the modern medieval West are still quite different from their counterparts in the medieval world of 500-1400.

At least the medieval age believed that it was incrementally gaining knowledge to fight age-old terrors of the human and natural worlds. And such progress would eventually lead to the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, and the current affluence and freedom of the West.

In contrast, our retrograde contemporary world knows how to prevent ancient diseases. We have mastered the science of sewage control and treatment. We have sought to regulate away most of the dangers posed by life-giving machines. A hundred years of penal science has established that police visibility and law enforcement deter crime.

Yet reactionary Marxism, socialist-mandated equality, and authoritarian, heaven-on-earth utopianism—going beyond even the excesses of the medieval Church—war against the progress of civilization. These ideologies arise not from fear of God or of violating ancient customs and traditions, but from smug moral narcissism—with the addendum that our atheist saints must never suffer the consequences of their destructive ideology.

After all, there are no homeless people on the lawns of the humanitarian Malibu celebrities, but plenty of security for the very progressives who defunded the police in crime-ridden cities.

Martha’s Vineyard humanitarians blasted Immigration and Customs Enforcement as Gestapo thugs, even as they readied care packages for illegal aliens dropped off at their community center—but only after they had ordered buses to transfer the “Other” far away.

Redistributionist gasbag and socialist Hasan Piker—channeling medieval pogroms—warns Jews that their future is bleak in America, then whizzes off in his $200,000 EV Porsche Taycan Turbo S people’s wagon.

So again, what is this plague of modern medievalism?

It is a disease of the 21st-century West, where hundreds of millions have transcended the age-old struggle to live one more day and now enjoy the unchecked freedom and affluence of democratic market capitalism.

In a world where we deem it our birthright to die in our sleep at 90, we do not worry about who struggles to produce our food, build our homes, provide our fuel, or conquer our diseases. We care only that they do so on demand. And thus, on autopilot, we are free to get tatted and pierced, remain glued to our iPhones, and perhaps even consider transitioning as we worry about cosmic things—like the need to celebrate the murderer or torch a police precinct.

Regressive Progressives

So the progressives, socialists, and Marxists gave us universal “caring.” They birthed a puritanical holiness, a narcissistic sanctimoniousness that decrees the rape victim of an illegal alien acceptable collateral damage—allowable to ensure that the illegal alien remains free to enter the country unaudited and unquestioned.

The poor typhus-bearing rats that scurry along the public sidewalk shall not be denied their breeding grounds among the sanctified but soiled and infectious blankets of the homeless.

The modern medievalist demands that the 30-year veteran of our wars be drummed out of the military as an enemy of the people for refusing the experimental mRNA vaccine—but not the COVID-19-infected, unvaccinated illegal alien who, amid lockdowns, strolls across the Rio Grande without a word from our secular saints.

Virtue-signaling concern for the nihilist—at someone else’s expense—is the new national creed.

And the “victim” and racist killer Decarlos Brown—now deemed “too incompetent to stand trial”—readying his knife to slice open the throat of the innocent, doomed, 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, in the seat ahead of him, is the poster child of our modern medievalism.

 

The Left Is Dragging America Back to the Dark Ages

 The more you look around us today, I think a good description of 2026, culturally, economically, socially, politically, is that we are in a modern medieval world.  

Maybe we’re progressive regressives, and I don’t mean that just in the sense that progressives are regressive, and they are, but that one part of our society is advancing at lightning speed to the future and progressing. But the other part is regressing, and regressing at a phenomenal pace back to what I would call the medieval period. 

Remember, the medieval period was roughly that area in time after the fall of the Roman Empire in the West, roughly AD 500 to around AD 1300 to 1400, the beginning of the Italian Renaissance. In medievalism, we often talk about primitivism after the destruction of the classical world during the Dark Ages, the early medieval period, and it’s characterized by epidemics, bubonic plague, typhus, typhoid, smallpox, terrible sanitation in urban centers. They had forgotten the Roman use of sewage and aqueducts. 

There were open borders. National states popped up that couldn’t defend themselves, so you saw castles and walls pop up all over the European countryside in a way you had not during the Roman period. In cities, they were walled, towns even, and the gates closed at dusk to prevent gratuitous crime. 

But at the same time that this was happening, you had some of the greatest works of literature in the Western world. You had Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales,” Dante’s “Inferno,” St. Thomas Aquinas’ “Summa Theologica.” And if you look at the architectural expertise and scientific knowledge of architecture, it was progressing at a geometric rate when you look at the huge cathedrals at Seville or Cologne. 

I should remind everybody that around 536, Santa Sofia was created, the Church of the Holy Wisdom in Constantinople. It would be the largest church in Christendom for a thousand years. And everything from the mass production of crossbows to eyeglasses was a product of the medieval period, even if, as I said, the daily lives of most people were wretched. 

Now let’s switch to the modern period. All of us now can call anywhere in the world in seconds on our iPhones. Anything you want to know, past, present, future, you can just get on a cheap computer and ask an artificial intelligence program from the many free platforms. You can watch movies, you can watch entertainment on satellites. Anything you want is at your fingertips. 

The nation itself is exploring space. We’re getting close to conquering cancer. I can attest to that. Computers allow you to write without even speaking. You can, unfortunately, compose a whole term paper or a book with AI. You can make a movie with AI. 

Yet at the same time that’s happening, look at what’s going on in Berkeley here in California or Los Angeles. We’re seeing outbreaks of medieval diseases that we thought had been conquered years ago, given our sophisticated knowledge of sewage and water treatment. We had a typhus breakout in Los Angeles. We had leptospirosis, a rat disease, in Berkeley. 

You look at the homeless camps all over our major cities. People are just out in the open fornicating, urinating, defecating, injecting drugs. There’s tons of feces that has to be removed, and it’s so strange in this modern medievalism. 

We have sophisticated researchers who go into a hospital in Chicago or go to a cancer center in San Francisco and have to check the bottoms of their shoes to make sure they don’t have feces as they go into their space-age laboratories. 

It’s really funny. In the medieval period, public hangings and beheadings were sort of public events that people flocked out to see. Is that any different than our glorification of murderers? 

And there is a difference. Luigi Mangione, they named an opera after him in California. The killer of Charlie Kirk brought people jubilation. I won’t even get into Lindsay Clancy, who strangled her three children and became every woman to the feminist left.  

At least in the medieval period, they knew that the murderer had done something wrong and was being punished. In the post-medieval period, we are glorifying that murderer, and that’s really striking. 

And so, what I’m getting at is we are the most regulated, the most advanced, the most modern, the most scientific society in history, even as we can’t solve problems that were solvable, and the medieval period would have died to know the solutions that we have in our hands to make sure we have clean water, to make sure there is no crime, to make sure there is no disease, to make sure that people don’t defecate on the street. But we don’t do it. We willingly don’t do it. 

Now, the question to finish is why? 

We have an elite that has embraced a very toxic ideology throughout history, and that is mandated, government-sanctioned equality of result. And they have divided, therefore, to further that ideology, the world into victims and victimizers, an arbitrary classification, sometimes based on class, but increasingly on race. 

And once they identify someone as a victim who’s not responsible for his plight, then it’s the duty of the society to allow him to express himself. If you have a lot of teenagers who want to loot a jewelry store, then you say they were hungry and they needed food.  

If you see homeless people living on the street, then it was because of something the majority culture did to them. 

And the result of that is when people engage in very dangerous antisocial behavior, an elite will tell the rest of us that they’re not subject to law enforcement or they’re not subject to the laws that apply to the rest of us. 

But there are two really pernicious addenda here. 

No. 1, the people who do this on the left, who believe in this mandated equality and a binary of victim and victimizer, are never subject to the consequences of their own ideology. Nancy Pelosi‘s home is not surrounded by homeless people. Jane Fonda doesn’t have to trip over people injecting drugs when she walks outside her door. The Hollywood stars in Malibu who champion the homeless have very clear security. You can’t get near their homes. 

In other words, we, the lab rats, are those upon whom they experiment. 

And there’s another reason as well. It’s not just that they experiment on us. and this ideology is not applicable to itself, but more importantly, they believe that they are morally superior because most of them are agnostics or atheists. They have lost their God, but they have found it in a post-Enlightenment caring, abstract though it may be, for victims. 

And when you put this religious element to it, because it makes no sense to allow medieval diseases and medievalism to dominate your cities in crime, filth and homelessness, but they do it. They feel morally superior, and it gives them meaning in their life in a way that we, the majority, find not morally superior, but morally repugnant. 

Trump’s, Bessent’s ‘Anaconda’ Strategy Is Tightening Around Iran

 person 2: Let’s turn then to somebody who’s not a lunatic, Scott Bessent, our treasury secretary. And he had a couple of things this week. One, he is engaging in a new Operation Economic Outcast, where he is continuing new sanctions, sanctions on bank and finance entities with Iran.

And I think that’s interesting to me because it seems like just about every two or three weeks he announces an operation of this kind. And maybe our audience knows a little bit more, but it seems like they find new things all the time, countries that are helping Iran, finances that Iran has access to that they can cut off, and he’s always got something new on the horizon.

I was wondering if you had any thoughts on that.

person 1: I think the problem was that on Feb. 28, when they finally unloaded on them after the fruitless negotiations, and they did overwhelming damage with the Israelis, that they were going to collapse.

But they were like Japan after Okinawa in July. Japan was done for. Their harbors were mined. Their cities, 60% of which were hollowed out by the B-29. They had no control of their own airspace. Battleships sent salvos into their shores with impunity. Submarines wouldn’t let anybody go in or out. But they lasted all of July and all the way up to the atomic bomb. So it was very hard to make them give up.

So, you need a shock. So, we thought they were going to surrender, but this is a theocratic, unhinged regime that just killed 30,000 to 40,000 of their own people. They don’t care. So, their attitude is the Americans stopped, so we’ll negotiate.

And, by the way, not all the countries are following the blockade or embargo. And they will never enforce it because people like the Spanish, the North Koreans, the Chinese, the Russians, and we have rail links on land that haven’t been touched. We have airports. So, we don’t get all of our stuff out or in just by sea.

And we kept thinking it was hurting them, the embargo and sanctions. And then finally people said if you can’t trust these people, the 60-day memorandum of understanding was a joke. And they had a lot of, as people say, there’s a lot of rot left in an institution.

So, what I’m getting at is each time they make a pronouncement, somebody tells them you can do it better than that. So, now we are embargoing and sanctioning not just them from trading, but people who trade with them.

So, in theory, if we find out the Chinese are sending missiles, say, then we’re not going to deal with China. That would bankrupt China. We’ll see how that goes.

And then, secondly, we’re trying to tell the world that these theocrats that feel that any day they would like to be in heaven with 72 virgins are unhinged, but at another time they’re savvy business people, and they’re greedy and they have luxury estates in London and Paris and property and vineyards. And we are going to trace every single one and confiscate it, and that’s going to hurt them.

There are people who have been writing that the problem that we’re going to have is that, since the currency is worth nothing more than wastepaper, and there’s no oil getting out for revenue, and even being pumped in some cases for gasoline because they need spare parts and they don’t produce their own oil and gas. It all has to be imported. Everything in that country has got to be imported except drones, and even those components have to be imported.

And so, now, after March, April, May, June, July, August, six months, they’re running out of parts and the whole thing is starting to grind to a halt.

So, now the existential question is, [President Donald] Trump said yesterday those people have to rise up and fight. Which is greater: the fear of being slaughtered as in the past, because these people will kill 40,000 more, or the idea you’re going to starve to death or you’re going to not just be confined in your home and you’ll have no air conditioning, no heating, with winter coming on?

And that’s what we’re worried about. There are people who say, “What are you going to do, Trump, when they can’t eat?”

And the government likes that because they think that you’ll ease up. They’re using their own people in the way that Hamas uses people to shield their tunnels and mosques, schools, and hospitals. They’re doing the same thing on a national scale. They’re using their own people that are pro-American and we like, and they’re saying, you can do what you want, but they’re going to die before we are, and that’s a problem.

Trump’s attitude, as I said, is kind of the anaconda, and it’s trying to make the war livable by basically saying we’ve got it down now so we don’t have to do kinetic action very much. It’s expensive. We’ve tragically lost 17, but we’re not going to really lose any more people.

The price of oil goes between $70 and $90, but 9 million. Everybody said they’re lying. It can’t be 9 million barrels. We found out this week there are 9 million barrels getting out, and there will be 15 million very quickly on pipelines to the Mediterranean, the Gulf of Oman, and the Red Sea.

So, what I’m getting at is Trump is basically saying, I can sustain this and it’s a war, but it’s not a war. Everybody says it’s a war. We’re losing it. No, it’s not a war. It’s sanctions now. It’s like the blockade of Cuba in 1962. How long did that last? They couldn’t withstand that.

So, that’s what we’re doing, and as long as we’re not spending a great deal of money, we are, but not like a real war, and we’re not getting people killed, it’s sustainable. But it’s not sustainable for them.

What the Left is terrified of, both the European Left, Canadian Left, and the American Left, is a scenario like this. Everybody should listen very carefully.

So, everybody is saying Trump, as in the Republicans, are generically down eight points and they may lose the Senate, maybe even get the Democrats to a Senate-seat majority, and they’re going to lose the House.

And then, on Oct. 20, guess what? The people come out. Thousands of them are starving in Iran and they head for the Iranian National Islamic Guard Corps, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and they go in there and they get in a pitched fight and they win. And it’s like jubilation. And they have pro-U.S. signs.

That is what everybody’s afraid of. If that happens two weeks before the election, then all bets are off for the Democrats because at the cost that we paid to get rid of a 50-year existential threat that everybody said was impossible to get rid of and it would be another Vietnam or Iraq, to get that out with no bomb, and then not just to get rid of them but to have them pro-American, basically the most sophisticated, largest population except for Egypt, biggest area, pro-American on both sides of the Gulf.

Can you imagine what that would do to Hamas and the Houthis and Hezbollah? They would be flat broke forever. It would free Lebanon. It would empower Syria. That could happen.

Belligerent Passenger Duct-Taped to Seat on American Airlines Flight

Witnesses claim that the male passenger, approximately two hours into the flight, had begun “screaming about Jesus and going to Hell,” before a female flight attendant approached the man to calm the situation. The man then began to shout racial and anti-gay slurs before striking a fellow passenger, according to TMZ.

A female passenger then attempted to intervene, but was pushed away. The devolving incident prompted three male passengers to step in and subdue the belligerent passenger, eventually duct-taping him to his seat and further restraining his hands with zip ties.

The flight was then diverted to Baltimore, where the belligerent passenger was taken into custody by authorities.

No federal charges for the incident have been filed at this time.

What Lindsay Clancy's Attorney Did on the Courthouse Steps Was Abhorrent

 

Lindsay Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, went bonkers on the courthouse steps today in Plymouth, Massachusetts. He was unprofessional, graceless, and all-around insane. He thanked the female jury forewoman for outing the one juror who was dead set on convicting Lindsay Clancy. 

He thanked the jury, except for that one, saying the rest of the body was “robbed by one man, whatever his agenda was, who stole seven weeks from the lives of these other jurors.”

🚨 NOW: Lindsay Clancy's defense attorney is now PUBLICLY ATTACKING the one male juror who held out to force a mistrial, saying he's "PROUD" of the female foreperson for blowing the whistle on that juror
