Visit wayfair. com or the Wayfair app. Wayfair everyvery style every home Today we're going to talk about what is easily one of the worst videos I've ever seen on the internet, which is saying something, especially after I just saw footage of a guy getting sucked into a jet engine on the airport Tarmac, which was pretty rough. Fair warning, I can virtually guarantee this is more unpleasant to watch than the most graphic snuff film you've ever been subjected to. It was uploaded seemingly out of nowhere by the forty year old actor named Frankie Munes, who gained fame Of course as the lead actor in the Fox sitcom Malcolm in the middle, which aired from two thousand to two thousand six After making a few terrible films, he mostly gave up acting and began moonlighting as a race car driver, a career where he's best known for fighting very hard for the twenty sixth place in the NASCAR Tuck series while the actual contenders are busy lapping him. But Munes has not completely dropped out of Hollywood He just started the Malcolm in the Middle reboot mineries on Hulu, which veryer few people watched or cared about But they did't make sure to include all the obligatory woke updates, you know, such as introducing a non binary sibling for Malcolm revealing that his black friend is now in a gay interracial relationship and has an adopted son So they checked all the boxes, except in a surprising twist, they didn't have Brian Cranston's character, the father come out as trans so I guess they're saving that for the reboot of the reboot in twenty twenty nine In short, Frank Imunez has had a mediocre career since reaching the zenith of his career at the age of fourteen He hasn't received much attention of late, and for good reason, he's not relevant anymore. no one cares about anything he's doing And there's no shame in that. I mean, it's probably been a major lifestyle upgrade in too many ways to list. This is a period in his life where supposed to focus on raising his family and counting the many blessings He's enjoyed. And by that, I mean all of the residual checks that are still pouring in By forty, most child actors end up homeless outside of a denn's pants around their ankles, begging every passing stranger for a few dollars so they can bus ticket to Milwaukee, which as we know, is homeless drug addict code for buying crack Munes was somehow able to avoid that fate. He managed to Ddge the curse of childhood fame and start a family that to all outward appearances seem to be healthy and happy, and that's an achievement in its own right I mean, in terms of accomplishments, a child actor becoming not a crraackhead is like a normal person, you know, placing in the top one hundred in the Boston marathon or something. It's not the kind of thing that you will win the presidential medal of freedom for, but it's quite impressive in its own right Unfortunately, however, Frankie has just undone All of that goodwill in one fell swoop With one of the most agonizingly cringy posts ever to curse the feeds of unsuspecting social media users yesterday across all of his profiles He announced that he and his wife We're getting a divorce. and he framed the divorce as something he's happy about she obviously isn't And as a mutual decision, which it obviously wasn't Before we get into Munez's statement, a statement that reflects a larger cultural trend and agenda, which is the only thing that makes this worth talking about in the first place Here is the video that he uploaded along with his announcement. And in case you can't see it, the caption reads Who says you can't stay best friends with your baby mama The fact that he's a forty year old white man using the term baby mama should make this video less surprising though no less excruciating to witness Here it is He ha R baby run Now for those mercifully listening to the audio podcast, the footage I just played shows Frankie and his wife dancing together in the living room in celebration of their divorce. There's a lengthy caption where he excitedly talks about the divorce. Like he's announcing a marriage rather than the dissolution of one, and we'll get to that in a moment. The video itself is a tragedy, especially given the context. Although admittedly there's no context where a forty year old man should be posting videos of himself dancing Undignified, it's unfair to those of us who had the misfortune to be born with eyes Frankie like most forty year old men And I say this is one myself moves with all of the grace and rhythm of like a three legged deer hobbling away after getting shot in the ass That's why dancing is meant for people who are younger or at least blacker So if you feel the need to dance as a middle aged man, for some ungodly reason, go somewhere behind a lock door. Lower the blinds, draw the shades Turn off the lights. Make sure all the other humans and domestic animals have evacuated the premises And then and then if you must dance in private So the rest of us are not forced to witness this ghastly site, but In this context whichich is a cucked, hen pecked weakling convulsing offbeat to a bad pop song, pretending to be happy that his wife is leaving him Paying the sincere enthusiasm and wearing the genuine smile of a North Korean citizen giving a standing ovation. to dear leader because the other option was burial in a mass grave In this context, it is unbearable to behold And when I first watched this, probably because I was so overwhelmed with disgust that I turned it off in three point two seconds, I didn't even notice that their five year old child joins in on the dancing. Frankie invites his son over and plays air guitar with his body all All to celebrate the fact that his son won't be growing up in a stable two parent household. They apparently sat the child down, explained very somberly that mommy and daddy still love each other don't want to be around each other We're liveving in the same house. or're on the same planet And then as the child was tearfully trying to process the worst trauma of his life They excitedly declared, hey, We have an idea. Let's have a dance party. I mean, dancing with your wife and child to celebrate the fact that your child would no longer have Mommy and daddy in the home is One of the most depraved things a Hollywood actor has ever done, which is obviously a very, very high bar to clear In a twist nobody saw coming, Frankiemunez has surged ahead of like Charlie Sheheen and Kevin Spacey in the race to be the worst living Hollywood degenerate So if you can't w an NSCAR race, at least you can win This one, I guess, is the idea How are we supposed to interpret what happened specifically in Frankie's case? I can't say one way or another because I don't know any of these people or want to Just looking at that video though, it's pretty apparent that his wife came up with the idea. I mean, no man would subject himself to something like this voluntarily And also from a statistical perspective These sorts of things are normally the wife's idea And I don't just mean posting dancing videos on the internet, although that too Depending on what studies you look at women are responsible for filing something like seventycent to eighty percent of divorces This has been one of the most enduring consequences of the feminist movement. Women have been barded with relentless propaganda about how they're They're independent. they don't need no man taught that they can murder their children if they're inconvenient. So obviously breaking up a family is no big deal I mean, if you would dismember your child for your own independence, then dismemembering your marriage is like nothing in comparison. And as a result, Divorce has become somethingomet of a social contagion Now the social contagion aspect of divorce is nothing new. What is new or at least increasingly mainstream is the relentless effort to present divorce as something empowering and fulfilling, a thing to be celebrated I mean, not to get too hung up on this one example of the guy from Malcolm in the middle, now the star of Malcolm in the Cuck chair But the example is illuminating, especially when you read the caption And it kind of it's a symptom of the larger problem. But here it is life update Following a period of separation that we kept private, Paige and I have decided to move forward with ending our marriage. After ten beautiful years together, we've grown in ways that made us realize our relationship feels most natural and strong as a deep friendship and as co parents. We share an incredible son who remains the center of our world Both happier, stronger parents because of the love and growth we've shared I'll read the rest of it in a moment, but already, this feels like an email you'd get from AR when you You know, when they deactivate your key card We've decided to move forward with ending our marriage. There's not an actual human on the planet who's ever uttered that sentence. confident in saying that. You only get a line like that from like Brenda from HR or Chat GPT There's one thing AI chatbots are good at. It's putting together grammatically correct sentences that manage to be coherent and yet have no meaning at the exact same time And also notice the attempt typical of these Hollywood divorce announcements to pretend that divorce is the result of personal growth Really, it is the result usually of two selfish people who never figured out how to stop being selfish The problem is precisely a lack of growth Or if it was growth, it was growth of the wrong thing. Okay saying divorce is the result of growth. It's like saying terminal cancer is the result of growth That's technically and medically true, but the problem is that the wrong thing was growing And as for being a co parent, And you know, when you hear this from divorced people, oh, we're going to co parent. Well, that's the arrangement you already had, geniuses 's that's called being married. Divorced couples are not co parents. they are competing parents If you are cooperating parents, if you are parents on the same team You'd still be married It's certainly a practical impossibility for any child to remain the center of their world as Frankie claims in this scenario, especially because you get divorced because you want to be the center of your own world whichich is one of the reasons why it's so revolting that these people insist on including their child in the messaging about their divorce. And at any rate The child actually should not be the center of your world anyway You know, it's another thing you hear in these divorce announcements from celebrities. They always say, well, you know, our child was always will continue to be the most important thing in our lives Well, yeah, like that's that that That's actually not true because you are the most important thing in your life, very clearly. That's how you live But it's also that's not even an ideal that you should strive for, actually The center of your world should not be your child. It should actually be, well, it should be your faith And your marriage should be the next closest thing to the center The child orbits around that like a planet around the sun. The child is not himself the sun, with you and your wife as planets orbiting him not torture the cosmic analogy to death, but The thing in the solar system with the most mass is the thing that everything else orbits around. Your child should not, in a metaphorical or frankly literal sense have the most mass Okay, yourour marriage is the center. It's the thing with the gravitational pull that your child revolves around. Putting the child at the center of your world is very likely, in fact, almost certain to result in exactly what's happened here I mean, it would be like trying to reorganize our solar system with Pluto at the middle of it Chaos and destruction are the only possible results So of course, in this case, within a few minutes, Munez or his PR people apparently realized the footage wasn't playing well. so the video was deleted from all of his social media profiles But in its place, we get this message along with a family photo featuring his son againgain, with the sun is in it As if they're trying to convince the world that their five year old child approves of their divorce, as if it's remotely possible for a five year old to have any conception of what his parents are doing And there's no need to cite any scientific studies on this point Uh, because Everyone knows intuitively that divorce destroys the lives of children who have a hard wired need for two parents. Every child is born to two parents biologically. It's always been that way through the whole history of the world. So obviously it's better You need two parents in order to be born. So obviously the best scenario is that you are raised by two parents But there is one relevant data point that I'll share anyway, just because it's helpful to put the consequences in some context. Four years ago, looking at data from seventeen countries, researchers in the Netherlands, Writing in the journal, Demographic Research found that When it comes to a child's educational progress, quote, parental divorce had a larger impact than parental death So I'll say that again, when measuring a child's educational attainment, how far he progress in school and how well he does in school Parental divorce had a larger impact than parental death. And that's just one data point of many And it's a data point that says in this very measurable way, it's better for a child if his mother dies. rather than divorces his father and vice versa. And it's not at all difficult to see why that would be the case. Divorce requires a conscious rejection of the family unit A deliberate betrayal of the vows. Death usually doesn't imply either of those things And that's why it breeds a lifelong resentment and confusion. It derails a child's life T such a degree that almost not else, not even the death of a parent, can compare Let's finish up reading this post so we can move on, which is what everyone in the audience at this point is begging me to do It says, quote, I'm endlessly grateful to Paige for everything she's done for me and our family. She put her own dreams on hold so I could chase mine Always my biggest supporter That foundation of respect and friendship isn't going anywhere. We're excited to keep building Munes racing together and co parent our boy teamwork and love we've always had We're closing one chapter with gratitude and opening the next Right futures ahead For us as individuals, and especially for our son. Thank you for the love and support If both choose to not entertain any questions on this matter, please respect our family' privacy during this time But last line couldn't be any better. He just posted a dance video across all the social media profiles in which he announces his divorce with his wife and son And then he posts a message that's longer than the state of the Union address in which his PR firm makes it abundantly clear that his wife you know wasn't feeling appreciated or whatever. And after all this, we're told that If we're decent people, we'll respect his family's privacy during this time So they've apparently attended the Harry and Megan School of Public Relations where you're taught that the best way to live a private life is to tell the public every detail of your private life which is unsolicited, and then demand that the public not care about your private life, even though you obviously have done everything in your power to make them care. And you actually want them to care a lot But the key line in that paragraph was this, She put her dreams on hold. So I could chase mine. And that tells you everything you need to know This is the fantasy that leads to M disol millions of dissolved marriages I, the idea that the wife They living an incredibly blessed life where she's provided for and cared for and has a family that loves her is able to do anything she wants to do with her free time, which in her case is considerable, considerable amount of free time. She only has one child presumably a nanny Even in spite of that, still somehow she's been deprived. Her dreams been put on hold As though if not for the marriage, you know, she would have gone off and discovered the key to light speed travel or something When in fact, she would have just been working in a cubicle and spending her night's binge watching Netflix slop which is indeed exactly what will happen now that she's divorced and free to go chase these unspecified and mostly non existent dreams We might call this form of psychosis, Michelle Obamaitis Michelle, of course, has lived a life of wealth and influence desespite having no skills or achievements of her own, and now she spends every day all day announcing to the world that she's ready to start focusing on herself which will be a marked change of pace from the first sixty years of her life. which she also spent focusing on herself Just to drive this point home as if it needed to be, here's how she described In a recent interview with the next chapter of her life. Here's the title of the next chapter of her life, according to Michellebama. Listen One word to describe your next chapter. O word. A Me That's what you call drop of light You know what? you seem to be grading her higher on her andancer. So the one word for her next chapter is me, she says which may sound almost comically self centered We should cut her some slack, I guess. I mean, after all, she only knows three words in total and the other two are I and myself Still, that knee answer is arguably a bit offensive. I mean, some would say it's rather patriarchal and misogynistic for Michelle to focus the next chapter on a man Some would say that. I'm not saying that I would say that because that would that would be a crass joke a below the belt hit on Michelle Obama. I don't approve. I'm just saying that some people Some people would make that joke In any case, although Michelle and Barack are still technically married I guess This is all part of the same picture. The elites in our society promote selfishness. They preach it like a gospel. That's why they want us to see divorce as a celebratory occasion A divorce, of course, has always occurred, to some extent, it always will occur We should do everything we can to mitigate it, but it will never be entirely eradicated But acknowledging that divorce is a reality, an evil reality, but a reality all the same is veryery different from actively celebrating it as a positive good. and yet this is what nearly every cultural institution insist that we do That's why there's a whole sub genre of articles, think pieces, essays, memoirs, all revolving around the theme Divorce is good And often the key to personal growth and fulfillment and empowerment There are hundreds upon hundreds of examples of this kind of thing, but we don't even need to look past the last couple of weeks to find one I mean, just take any whatever week or month you're in, just like go check. There's always one of these circulating around So in June, Emily Rodich Kowski became the first or rather became the most recent female celebrity The most recent until Frank Imunes, to publish a long think piece extlling the virtues of her recent divorce. In a piece for the cut titled Mother Effort, she writ, quote Beoming a single mother changed the way people looked at me exactly as I feared it would but also allowed me to finally see myself. I wasn't left, I left. I knew then that Being able to leave to say no was the only real superpower I'd gained through divorce I was brave Really actually brave. Yes, there's nothing more brave than betraying a vow course to make a promise and then not follow through Brave. Oh, so brave takes Oh, that is so brave On a scale of personal bravery and heroism, divorced single mothers rank somewhere above Wildland firefighters and Medal of Honor recipients And of course I say that sarcastically, but divorcing mothers like Emily would hear that and wholeheartedly agree with it without any irony whatsoever Also this summer we this article in the Guardian titled Divorce say summer Get ready for big hats, hot sex, and don't care energy The first few sentences of this monstrosity are all you need to really understand what's going on here Sorry babe.

They'll spend hours researching the perfect routine for working out, the perfect diet, the perfect morning and bedtime routine And then they download apps, byy planners, watch endless videos about optimizing every minute of the day, But ultimately, life happens. The kids need to be somewhere, work it gets busy, dinner, doesn't go as planned Before you know it, all those perfect plans disappear. I've found that the habits you actually keep are the usually the simple ones It's one reason I've become a fan of balance of Nature. Balance of Nature's whole health system.

That's balance nature d. com romo code Wall Now all this relentless pro divorce propaganda has an effect just as intended. We already know that divorce is contagious to a very real extent which isn't talked about enough, but it's true as the author, Rob Henderson has pointed out, quote, People are seventy five percent more likely to become divorced if a friend is divorced And thirty three percent more likely to divorce if a friend of a friend is divorced So in other words, divorce is one of those major life decisions that many people outsource in a way. know, they look to their friends for validation before they do it themselves. It's called decision making by committee. It's when rather than make a bold decision by yourself You seek the advice of your friends and the friends of your friends advice columnist, the therapist You're heavily influenced by what other people are doing and how they might judge you or not judge you. Obvious which gender is more likely to engage in this kind of decision making, women overwhelmingly make decisions by consensus. iss why professional mediators and legal disputes are mostly women. It's also why nearly all, basically one hundred percent of the divorce is empowering propaganda comes directly from women or from cuckhed husbands like Frankiemunz at the behest of women And this is a compounding effect. Women are much more likely to initiate divorce. womomen tend to Have more friends The likelihood then of a woman having a friend who gets Divorced is high and gets higher with age. And once that happens, the domino effect takes hold. Women see those divorces and they feel emboldened to pursue their own divorce add in social media, now the global social network that we're all plugged into and you could see the problem They know they won't be shunn or stigmatized in any way. They'll get the affirmation they're craving. So They go for it. Now a key part of this strategy is to downplay the ramifications of divorce Here's another example from a TEedX talkal with hundreds of thousands of views Thank you, divorce That's what I said five years ago. when the judge issued me my divorce decree With that decree in hand, I was positive Every problem I had was now part of my past along with my merriit And as I walked out of the courtroom that day I was sure I was walking towards a new life full of happiness. I was also sure that that perfect guy that was gonna bring me that happiness was waiting for me right around the corner. Now let's fast forward a couple of months and the reality of being divorced with three little kids was slapping me in the face There were so many incidents that I was so ill prepared for that were so hard For instance This one day the kids and I had gone swimming all day And on the way home they had all fallen asleep in the car. But then, just as I was about to pull up in front of the house, I remembered we were all out of milk In the past, I would have called home, asked the Hubby to grab some milk, but there is nobody to call So I thought, all right, kids, we're doing this turned the car around, drove to the local circle K, went to one side of the car, got my son, Nathan, he was three at the time. out of the car, I'm holding him here. I go to the other side of the car. I gently shake my girls awake, Bell and Lacey. They were five and six at the time. They're half leaning against me, still half asleep. We walk into circle K Thankfully somebody holds the door open I'm just gonna to cut her off there because she never actually stops talking. That Ted talk is still going on. In fact, nothing can stop it. She'll continue speaking long after the sun has exploded and all living creatures have died like the dinosaurs. The point is she's acting like one of the few consequences of her divorce is that she occasionally has to make an extra trip to the grocery store or something It's very cynical but it's also compelling to a lot of people. And certainly her audience at this fake Ted Tk enjoyed listening to what she had to say They would say Probably because everyone else, including the celebrities that these people look up to They're all saying the same thing. I mean they all speak about divorce very clinical, detached terms to downplay the effects Brings to mind perhaps the most notorious example from several years ago Many of us remember when Gyneth Paltrow divorced Chris Martin, an event that would not have registered on most of our radars. Except for the incredibly pretentious way that They described it, which has become iconic in all the worst ways ope that as we consciously uncouple and co parent, we'll be able to continue in the same manner. So it sounds like she's describing a mechanical process, not a divorce between two humans. That's precisely why the corporate media loved it. the BBC wrote a series of articles about the profound philosophy of Peltro's divorce at the time The new formulation comes from an essay on consonscious uncoupling written by Paltro spiritual advisors Dr. Habib Sadegi and Dr. Sherry Sami Although it looks like everything is coming apart, it actually is all coming back together, they conlude. The Oxford Engost Dictionary a citation of the use of uncoupling to describe the end of relationships from nineteen forty two Divorce lawyer Sarah Thompson of Slater and Gordon says uncoupling reminds her of two railway carriages being separated The addition of the word conscious is there to tell people it's amicable She says that she wouldn't be surprised if Paltrra and Martin used collaborative law parties sitting down at a table with a lawyer, each and going through everything. It's often described as the nicest way to get divorced When as in the paltrra marching, Martin case there are Children involved, it's a good idea to use age appropriate langage, says Denise Knowles counselor relate It's almost too on the nose how they directly compare divorce to two railway carriages being separated art to think of a more dehumanizing comparison. It's also not accurate. You know, because in marriage, uh to become one. That's sort of the whole point So a divorce is not separating train cars, but rather taking one train car passengers inside. and ripping it in half Or better yet, divorces derailing the entire train, only for the conductors to stand amid the smoking wreckage and mangled bodies and declared the scene is actually quite life affirming And then Frank Imunes shows up and starts dancing over top the corpses. I mean, that's basically what's going on if we want to use railway analogies There's any upside to the trends that we're saying it's that divorce rates have been declining for some time now marriages are more likely to last at the moment as compared to the turn of the century. And that's a welcome and surprising development given way social media creates social contagions and the way that every powerful institution and many powerful people have tried desperately at every turn to promote and encourage divorce At the same time, while divorce becomes less popular So does marriage itself As Forbes reports, quote, both the marriage and divorce rates have declined over time. In two thousand, a total of nine hundred forty four thousand divorces and annmentmentscurred divorce rate was four per one thousand population during that year. By twenty twenty two, it had fallen to two point four per one thousand with just six hundred seventy three thousand, nine hundred eighty nine people divorcing that year. The marriage rate. has declined too, dropping from eight point two per one thousand in two thousand two six point two or one thousand. in twenty twenty one. So while the declining divorce rate, suggests that the constant pr divorce propaganda has failed The declining marriage rates suggest that the propaganda has actually succeeded even beyond the wildest dreams of the propagandas. I mean, after all The only thing more empowering than dissolving a marriage is never having one to dissolve to begin with And there's a reason that the cultural powers that be want to create a society like that They want weak families and abandoned children because weak families and abandoned children Infinitely easier to indoctrinate and control You know, the same kind of people who would post memes to celebrate a political assassination We'll make a dance video to celebrate a divorce. And it's the same idea celebrating destruction And it festers when we lose our ability or our will to identify evil when we see it. And tearing a family apart is evil No amount of dancing will change that We all know it. spite of the dancing and the divorce celebrations. In fact The celebrations only serve to underline the evil They reveal precisely the truth that they're meant to cover up You don't go out of your way to convince the world you're happy with your decisions if you actually are happy with them Frank Imunees and Emily Radjichkowski and all the rest of them protest too much They are miserable and inviting every married couple to dissolve their marriage and join them in their misery. And that is one invitation That should be easy. to decline That will do it for the show today. And actually for the next two weeks, I'll be going on vacation for a couple of weeks, as is my tradition at this part of July, first part of July back in a couple of weeks We'll have a lot of new content for you in the meantime though, so stay tuned for that and talk to you on the other side In Northern Virginia Radical Islam has designs openly on the West. The FBI orded a terror plot on New Year's Eve violent attack over the Halloween weekend in Michigan. Protests on college campuses showing no signs of stopping Oh.
