New York

The fact that a sailor on leave cannot whistle at a pretty girl’s legs is scientific proof that America is beyond help and finished for good. That also goes for hard hats, who along with sailors were among the whistlers back in the good old days before woke ruined men, women and the country in general. Already radical activists have destroyed the notion of womanhood as well as that of biology by using words such as ‘cis’ and expressions like ‘gender assigned at birth’.

The castrating atmosphere that prevails over here does not bode well for the coming China challenge. Does anyone really believe that American men will stand up to the Chinese when Stanford and Michigan universities have issued guidebooks that instruct that words such as ‘mankind’ and ‘American’ are never to be used? It gets better for the Chinese every day. A member of the Bagel Times editorial board, Mara Gay, found the fact that a Long Island community’s houses were flying the American flag ‘disturbing’. Go figure, as they say in places where flying the flag does not disturb, and where people do not read a newspaper that sees fit to print only anti-male, anti-white and anti-Christian propaganda.

Mind you, I’m not trying to sell the toxic masculinity crap of those two Brits the Tate brothers, imprisoned and refused bail by the Romanians. I only miss the tradition of sailors and hard hats of showing admiration for the fair sex, nothing more, nothing less. Anyway, if woke doesn’t turn America into Vanuatu, a cluster of South Pacific islands, Artificial Intelligence will. First to go will be white-collar jobs such as junior lawyers, accountants, professors, journalists and so on. Probably not a bad thing, but I wish AI would take the Silicon Valley freaks down too, though knowing how these things turn out, they will be the last to go.

And now for some really bad news already covered by the press: swimmer Riley Gaines, a 12-time All-American, was recently harassed and allegedly attacked by trans-rights protestors after she gave a speech at San Francisco State University about protecting female sports. Gaines has said that the campus police did nothing and neither did the dean of students who was present. The case has been widely reported, yet Americans keep droning on about their freedoms, though this poor little Greek boy believes there’s less freedom in America than in most places. Trans activists are going around attacking people and no one’s doing anything about it. At Stanford Law School a conservative federal judge was disrupted and threatened while addressing the students and had to leave helter-skelter while a female diversity professor was giving him hell. The dean has apologised since, but the damage has been done. Conservatives or even middle-of-the-road speakers are not allowed to address students in America.

Just think, dear readers. Here’s a young woman who has spent half her life in the water going up and down a swimming pool. She begins to win races galore, then out of the blue a 6ft 1in man called William Thomas, swimming for the men at Penn University, decides he’s a woman and leaves girls like Riley half a pool behind. So Riley complains and gets harassed for her troubles by ‘activists’. And the harassers go free to harass some more. And this is called the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. All Riley wanted, and what all women athletes want, is to compete against one another. Is it too much to ask? Yet the media in America are now just beholden to woke imperatives and are keeping quiet. Just imagine if the positions were reversed, and women had attacked a trans woman. A third world war would occupy the second page.

Then there is firearms violence. It has broken all records. Chicago, New York, Portland, San Francisco and other big cities have become killing fields after defunding the police and ‘reforming’ justice. The number of American children killed by guns has jumped 50 per cent in the past two years, with 46 per cent of the victims being black.

I’ve kept the worst for last. A notorious soft-on-crime judge released without bail a man who allegedly strangled his 15-year-old stepson to death. The stepfather had a criminal record, yet judge Naita Semaj chose to set him free. The New York Post screamed to high heaven for two days, which led the governor of the state to order the killer arrested. For some reason this fact slipped the mind of the Bagel Times, which did not report it.

Otherwise it’s great to be back in the dojo fighting younger men again, both the arm and the leg having healed after I applied the Taki method for an instant recovery. This method is 2,000 years old and has never failed. After a break and a look-see by a conventional doctor, you take off the plaster three weeks before the earliest date the doctor has ordered, and start training. Bones heal when they’re made to work, like people, according to the great doctor Taki, who has been self medicating since the Battle of Marathon, 490 bc.
