Morbidly obese Miss Alabama

And the male “Miss” Maryland.

The old Chinese proverb “may you live in interesting times” is probably always true. Times are always interesting. I have difficulty thinking of any era where things would not be “interesting”.

The building of the pyramids.

The comet that wiped out the dinosaurs.

I suspect even when Genghis Khan was slaughtering a quarter of the earth’s population, those times were interesting. Unfortunately so for the victims.

The industrial revolution.

World War II.

And now, a morbidly obese Miss Alabama (or whatever offshoot of a competition that was) and a Miss Maryland who is a mister.

At the most basic level, it’s a form of of cultural Marxism: an attempt to subvert culture and morality.

At a more nefarious level, it is an attempt to demoralize. An attempt to force people to believe the absurd, so as to render any form of objective knowledge and morality meaningless.

But at its most nefarious level, I see it as part and parcel of the push for population reduction.

Many people have pointed this out with the push to normalize abortion, euthanasia, and transgender “care” - the first two of which are overt population reduction, and the latter indirect through sterilization.

But at another level, the push to normalize and “beautify” obesity is, itself, also part of the war.

The average lifespan of the morbidly obese is reduced by 1 to 2 decades. 10 to 20 years.

Normalize and “beautify” obesity, and as far as population reduction goes, it’s an investment that pays off in 1 to 2 generations.

I went for a jog this morning. A little late, towards 10 o’clock. It was already swelteringly hot. And humid. And I noticed how the sun already felt like it was directly overhead.

Just get the calories out so I can move on with the day. It’s work. It’s boring. Although I’m listening to Alex Jones’ “Great Awakening”, which makes it easier (holy shiat, the Epstein story is a deep rabbit hole).

Body positivity should be about celebrating health. Not about glamorizing unhealthiness.

Every now and again, I come across a Twitter feed of someone is celebrating weight loss over an extended period of time. I can’t imagine how hard it is to embark on such a journey, where the gains are minimal, virtually unnoticeable, on a daily basis. But over a long enough time, the change is remarkable.

That is the type of body positivity that should be encouraged and celebrated.

But the cultural Marxists want to tell us that morbid obesity is healthy, and men can be women.

And if the ultimate goal is population reduction, I could imagine nothing more effective than sterilizing a generation of children, and reducing the lifespan of another generation of one to two decades.

His moment of greatness

And it was quite literally his only moment of greatness in the three games! 😂

What’s incredible is how expensive everything has gotten, even the most traditional family outings.

Admittedly, we were five kids and two adults, but it was over $35 per person to play three games of bowling.

Then you have to rent the shoes.

And the food, if you order it, is overpriced junk.

But, we had a moment!

Thomas Massie vs. Ed Gallrein

No judgment, I just want to see the discrepancy between our Locals community and X.

Who do you all want to win tomorrow’s Kentucky primary?

Still a little black-pilled

The results from yesterday‘s midterm remind me of scenes from two movies:

Killing Zoe: when the bank robbers finally reach all of the gold, after the bank robbery has gone totally awry, the French bank robber lead actor/villain says “we are rich” as he strokes the gold.

Eric Stoltz - the good guy sucked into the bank robbery gone south - says “whoa, we’re not out of here yet”.

To which the villain says in his French accent “yes, but we are rich”.

The other line was from Rushmore: “they can buy anything, but they can’t buy backbone”.

I briefly chatted with two guys at the bowling alley yesterday. Mid 50s/early 60s. Said I Was very much distracted by the Kentucky primaries (before results started coming in). they weren’t even aware that Kentucky primaries were going on, and when I told them who was running, they said “oh that guy… isn’t he the anti-Trump guy?”

And you realize the power of propaganda. Two people who barely even knew the core detail that the primary was even happening, knew the ...

The Barnes Brief: Weekend of May 15, 2026
Art of the Day 
  • With its signature clock, red brick walls, and wooden floor interiors, I remember well the chapel I first set to publicly speak as a 10-year old — Phillips Chapel, Highland Park, Chattanooga, Tennessee. Damaged a few years back by a fire, evangelicals founded the church in 1922 as part of the Indpendent Baptist movement I grew up in. MLK met with Reverend Lee Roberson here during the Civil Rights movement. My first moment on stage ended quickly, as I forgot my speech, panicked at the size of the crowd, and my little ten year old feet scampered across the wooden floors in fear of total embarrassment. Fond memories!

Art of the Day 

  • This abstraction captures something more of the symphonic spirit in the seamless synethsis of function and feel, utility and aesthetic, that is my favorite place in my hometown — the Walnut Street Bridge, whose blue beams and wooden planks cross the Tennessee River, and whose path I took each day to work as a young lawyer for a public interest law clinic defending the victims of abuse be they parents or banks. The feeling of precision integrated into nature, crossing it, overcoming it, and experiencing it at the same time, this local artist best captures the sense of the Birdge as I fondly remember it, expressed in its geometric shape, friendly colors, and textured echo of memory past.
